rBy Harold D. Jacobs, United Press
STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 16-The prob
lem of assimilating, furnished by i'm.
migration at the rate Of million
year will be turned into remedy
for our economic ills under a plan
now being formulated by Frederick
A. Wallis, commissioner of immigra.
ton.
Under this plan immigrants will
be distributed, voluntarily, where Ger.
tain classifications Of labor are most
needed Whenever farm hands. fruit
pickers, factory workers or other
kinds of laborers are asked for, newly
arrived foreigners will be furnished
with information concerning wages
and living conditions and aided in
concerning labor shortage will be
furnished the immigration depart
ment. through the governors OF states,
chambers of commerce. farmers as
sociations and similar agencies. Their
cooperation is now being sought
To handle this work, Commissioner
Wallis is creating new organization
to be known as the department Of
distribution. At Its mead Will be
Peter Donohue who has been con-
nected with the department Of i'm
migration twenty years.
What this country needs most Of
all of course is more farm help. In
view of this we will try to induce as
many Of our immigrants as we can
to turn to this branch Of industry"
Wallis said.
Naturally. we must avoid all sem
blance OF 'coIonizing.' There will be
no coercion whatever. Every immi-
grant will be free to go wherever he
pleases. We will simply show him
that 1t is to his and the countrys
advantage to 60 where labor is most
needed"

Price Cutting is Slow.

! TttSG S0SttV8 - 0sVVs
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Al-
though number of commodities have
been affected by the downward trend
of prices reported in the east, the price
cutting has not become general here,
according to dealers in various lines.
Frank B. Connolly, secretary of the
Retail Grocers association, looked for
more general drops in food prices
soon. Thus far, however, sugar, cot
fee and cereals with a few less i'm
portant products, have been principal
~ affected. Sugar has dropped fifty
per cent in the last two months. Flour
was expected to join the downward
trend SOON
Clothing men reported no important
recent price reductions.
Eggs retailed here today as high
as ninetyfour cents. under the tnfiu-
ence of recent upward trend. Butter
dropped two cents last week.
Twenty Per Cent Lower.
PORTLAND. Ore, Oct. l6.-The
price of clothing in Portland is twenty
Per cent lower now than before the re-
=
duced cost of living wave
sweeping the country, declared Ben
Selling, prominent clothier today.
However, we can see no further
price reductions during the winter
and spring, for the lowering of prices
here was entirely due to local situa-
ton competition and the fear prices
might drop.
Food dealers believe the recent low
ering Of the prices of certain food
stuffs is only the starter of general
reduction in the cost of living. Sugar
has shown the greatest price drop in

Ear Home Builders to Decide.

The first question TO confront the
home builders is: "1n what section
shall we locate?" That is question
for the individual TO decide, but the
things he should look at carefully
and answer before buying are: is il
a healthful location? IS the trans
portation service good? Has the town
complete sewerage system? Is the
water supply good? Can gas and cleo
tric light be supplied at reasonable
rate? Are there city conveniences,
such as mail delivery, fire ard police
protection, good schools, churches,
clubs. and, last but not least, what is
the possible future Of the place? Is
it well protected by restrictions for
residential purposes? VIII two-family
or apartment houses encroach or bust
ness come too near? 1t is the re-
strictions on the surrounding property
that are of vital interest 10 the pur-
chaser, not the restrictions on the
piece being bought. You know what
YOU are going to do and you also want
to know what others in the vicinity
could do, should they be so disposed.

Primer on Eiilboards,

A little primer on the city and its
billboard problem:
Haven't the property owners a
right to do as they please with their
property"
The United States Supreme court
said in decision in 1903: THE state
as quasi sovereign and representative
of the interest of the public has a
standing in court to protect the atmos-
phere, the water and the forests with
in its territory, irrespective of the
assent Or dissent Of the private owners
Immediately concerned"
"But does this right apply specific
ally to billboards?'
Yes. In 1917 the Supreme court
held: "a city, exercising the police
cover may prohibit the erection of
hlllboards in residence districts in the
interest of the safety, morality, health
and decency of the community
