I'VE MUST ASSIM|LATE JAP OR EXCLUDE
HIM." SAYS HEAD OF PROBE COMMITTEE

Swope said, that the 'gentlemen's 8
agreement Is being violated and that
thousands of Japanese immigrants are
entering this country surreptiously
every year by way Of the Mexican bor-
der. And in support Of that state
ment they offer the fact that the Jap
anese population in California has
doubled since 1913
Jap Is Thrifty Man
at must be said the Jap is thrifty
and as soon as he saves something
from his earnings he goes into busi-
ness for himself, usually farming.
AS a result they are acquiring great
tracts of land in California and TAX
ing over whole communities. AS the
Japanese would come in many whites
would move out, because as they
stated, they did not like the new en-
vironment and could not compete
with the Japanese owing to their diff
ferent standard Of living.
These facts led to the passage by
the California legislature In 1913 of
the anti-alien land law, which made
illegal for those who are not eligible
for naturalization to own land, or to
lease it for more than three years.
But the Japanese have evaded that
law to such an extent that it prac-
tically serves no purpose at all.
Puts Boys Name on Deed
For instance, Japanese who is
precluded by that law from owning
land buys the land in the name of his
infant native-born child, and becomes
the guardian of such child. The jap
anese also form corporations with
white dummy directors and acquire
land in enormous acreages.

RETRENCHMENT, new,
STRANGE, VIRTUE. IS
PRACT|CED BY PUBLIC

Retrenchment is the sign Of the
times, according to Richmond bank
ers. Refusal on the part of many
Of automobiles, diamonds and other
in reducing the high cost of living.
they believe.
The decreasing demand for luxuries
will. they say. pave the way for in
creasing production Of the necessities,
the simple and fundamental rule of
supply and demand will function, and
prices will eventually take the down
ward trend.
A simple standard of living, without
the frills and furbelows with which
the American people have surrounded
themselves in their seemingly endless
orgy Of spending. is the best possible
remedy for the money ills that have
menaced the pocketbooks of our peo-
pie, the bankers agree.
Economy Was Bitter Medicine
"It must not be assumed that the
sudden check on spending is entirely
voluntary on the part of the public.
On the contrary, the medicine has
been very bitter, and it is with feel
lllS VI IeluClouCe, anu dlLuoSI ptlu-
dance, that the public met the
changed money situation.
Bankers point out that curtailment
is necessary in order to bring about
any noticeable change in prices. Men
who have been working for high
wages will not receive any wage-cut-
ting with submissiveness. A general
and sudden wage-cut would be met
with Cfril hof ho in,
dustries Of the country within a few
hours.
The revision must come about from
the curtailment Of non-essentials,
leaving more la Dor free to enter es-
sential industries. The influx Of COM
petitive labor, robbed Of it's sinecure,
will make possible the payment of
lower wages.
"LIve Happy Ever After"
The decrease in wages will be met
by increased production of essentials,
and subsequent lower price Of neces-
and will have a 'live happy ever
after ending, bankers believe, if 1t
comes about gradually.
Curtailment Of unessentials will
also mean a flow Of labor back to the
farms, 1t is predicted. The swiftly
increasing current of farm boys com
ing to the cities seeking high wages
In factories has been viewed with
alarm.
During the shutdown Of the Max
we'll automobile factory at Newcastle
it Is pointed out that a large number
Of the men who were laid off returned
to the farms surrounding Newca stle
and were of great assistance to the
farmers in the harvest season
Don't See Il With Alarm
lCurtailment should not be viewed
with alarm, bank officials say, but
should be welcomed as prime factor
in increasing production Of essentials
and providing abundance of labor for
the farmers who bear the brunt of
feeding the country.
The lament of the Swedish farmer
in Michigan, whose boys had all gone
to the city to work in the factories, in
which he said he didn't blame the
the boys for going to town where they
could make big money, but asked
who da hell goin' to work the farm
when I'm gomez" is likely to be an.
swered soon by a reverse current of
boys who will be glad to crawl back
to the shelter of the old farm.

WHY WAS FUND
OF COUNTY IN
MILTON BANK?
Examiners Ask Reason for De-
posts Issued to Ed Weld
ner-Camp's Report Says
Institution Solvent.
KIRLIN'S BOND MISSED

INDIANAPOLIS, July 29-Although
the state banking department is no
longer concerned in the affairs of the
Farmers Bank of Milton, Ind, because
the bank is now in the hands of a
receiver officials of the department
are speculating on the fact that Oscar
NJ Kirlin, who was cashier of the Mil
ton bank and who committed suicide
the first of this month, issued seven
or eight $1,000 certificates of deposit
to E. j. Weidner. Treasurer of Wayne
county.
Why Weidner should have such an
account with the Farmers Bank at
Milton Is questioned The books of
the bank showed deposits by Weidner
Of only $50. One Of the certificates
issued for $4,000, it is stated, was re-
turned to the bank the day Kirlin shot
himself
"SoIvent" In September, 1919
In the light of the present chaotic
condition in the affairs of the Farm
ers' Bank at Milton the report sub
mitted to the state bank department
by one Of its examiners, Charles F.
Hurst, under date of Sept. Is, 1919, on
the last examination previous to the
suicide Of Kirlin, is of interest. This
report reads:
This bank is solvent Capital un-
impaired. They claim no bad loans.
Past paper due is large. They claim
1t Is borrowed by farmers and that ii
is all good. l ordered 1t renewed or
collected Immediately. They are
badly overloaned. / ordered them to
cease loaning and take up their re-
discount. Also ordered them to raise
their reserve. Officers are capable
and. l believe, honest. Books are
fairly well kept and in balance except
c. D., which is $50 off. Ordered them
to locate the difference and advise
me. Loan to officer charged off dur
ing examination"
Charles Camp, chief OF the state
bank department. reiterates his state
ment that there will be no loss to de-
positors as the stockholders are all
we'll to do and liable for every cent
they own.
Bond Page is Torn Out.
Mr.. Camp sees something peculiar
in the fact that Kirlin's bond for
100000 Is missing. At the September
examination of the bank Kirlin was
ordered to provide this bond and he
later reported to the bank department,
in February, 1920 that he had done so.
The bond cannot be located but there
is evidence that it was torn out of a
book in which it had been pasted.
The report made last September on
the Milton bank also disclosed that
there were 81 accounts overdrawn for
an aggregate of sS42; that there were
on hand s31 900 of Liberty bonds; de-
posits of S136.954 and rediscounted
notes with the First National bank
of Connersville, Ind, amounting to
S124,560.

LOUISVILLE. KY, July 29-Con-
gressman King Swope, of Kentucky,
who was chairman Of the house sub
committee which recently completed
an investigation of Japanese immigra-
ton to Pacific coast states, declared
in a statement issued here today that
this country has reached a point
where we should not permit any un-
assimilable race to fill up our Pacific
states or any other states.
He said the privilege of entry Of
any and all immigrants should be pre-
dicated upon their ability and desire
to become real, loyal, patriotic Amert-
cans"
The subcommittee will report to
the house committee when congress
assemblies in December. Mr.. Swope
declined to say what recommendation
will be made.
Hard to Understand
"It is rather difficult for the people
of the east and the south fully to ap-
preciate the Japanese immigration
question and its effect upon the Pacif-
ic coast" said Mr.. Swope. when we
realize that about 100000 of the ap-
proximately $15O,O00 Japanese in this
country live in California we can
readily see why the Californians view
with great alarm a continued Japan
ese immigration. Washington, Ore
gon and California in particular seem
to represent an earthly paradise to
the Japanese because of their favor
able climate and fertile soil. AS a
result about four fifths of the total
Japanese population in the United
States live in these three states.
The Californians auege," MI.
