NO pAuPER IMMIGRANTS

Canada has made n decision about
immigration which is worth study by
Americans. A temporary order IN
council bans mechanics, artisans or
laborers, skilled or unskilled, who do
not possess $3.50 in money as well as
transportation expenses to their des.
tination. Transportation companies
have been notified OF the order, which
viii continue until further notice.
American immigration laws were.
from the first. designed to encourage
the poor but ambitious worker. IT
was no desire of Uncle Sans to shut
out man Of power because he lack.

unswept hearth" has attracted the
undesirables OF every nation Now
we are forced to round up and de,
port many people who would much
better never have seen our shores.

DoDoINo RESPONSIBILITY

1t is amusing to watch the legisla-
ture majority membership and the
bosses outside that membership at
tempt to dodge responsibility for any
measure that is likely to be unpopu-
lar throughout the state.
This course became policy when
the legislature first met over year
ago. The taxation problem was fill.
ed with peril so the taxation commit
tee was made up equally of Republi-
cans and Democrats. The various
programs worked out by this COM
mittee were turned down and then
the Republican boss-George Clark,
chairman of the state advisory com
mittee--announced before the Christ
mas recess that the income tax would
be made party measure and put
through the assembly in the January
session.
Clark, however, heard from the big
isterests Of the state in the mean
time, and the plan flivvered. Next
came the Gardner bill, lifting the lid
on the Smith one per cent tax law
limit. Gardner's sponsorship of this
measure savored too much OF Repub-
lican responsibility, therefore caus-
ing the G.. o. +. bosses much worry.
So with wonderful cunning, the G. O.
=. proposed to the taxation commit.
taA Int h1, ,.i,, all -
marks of the Gardner bill, should be
sponsored by the joint committee,
thereby making Democrats Jointly H.
able for any complaint against the
measure The Democrats voted
against such course.
When the average voter stops to
think that the only committee named
by this legislature that has been non
partisan in character has been the
taxation committee, he gets the at
titude Of the majority party in the
assembly. 1t is simply this To play
politics up to the limit but to at
tempt to divide responsibility wher-
ever any action of the assembly Is
likely to provoke criticism and an
agonism.
Whenever any legislative body is
given such an overwhelming major
ity by the electorate no excuses will
avail. The responsibility rests on
the Republican majority and it Is on
ly few months hence that 1t must
give account of its stewardship. Then
the voters Of Ohio will have some
thing to say about the future.

Senator Sullivan of Saltwater has humid
red and one things in his favor and not the
least among his many fine traits is the straight
forward manner in which he speaks up in meet
ing regarding his likes and dislikes. He was
one of the biggest men at the late Republican
convention in st. Paul and will probably be one
of the biggest at the coming one. Being one of
the staunchest friends of northern Minnesota
in the senate, he has engendered the i'll will of
a few cheap-skate politicians in several parts
of the state who have persistently fy-bitten his
every effort with the result of squirting him to
renewed energy and the old war horse trots
right along in his efforts to keep Minnesota the

some cleaning to be done this fall and Senator
Sullivan is one man that can do it artistically

Overall Clubs are springing up all over
the country in the hope that they may reduce
the present price of clothing. Now watch the
price of overalls jump from $500 to $40 or SIS
suit. 1t will be the same way as in war time.
"Use substitutes" shouted Uncle Sam and we
did until the substitutes became prohibitive in
price. We paid more for corn and hay for our
breakfast foods than white flour was selling for
over in England Overall clubs merely jump
the price of overalls without reducing the, price
of other clothing. Had the war lasted another
ten days HI would be to pay by now
