y spite Of propaganda. through Brit
ish interests, which has reached
members Of the Senate and House
committees on agriculture and con-
gressmen generally. there will not be
a continuation of the guaranteed
price of wheat.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
and Representative Haugen of Iowa,
" no are chairmen. respectively. of the
Senate and House committees, have
noted this propaganda for continu-
especially in letters from Canadian
bankers and other large business in
ferests which have a British origin or
connection.
There is no sentiment in Congress
FOR a wheat price guarantee, and
there is a. decided sentiment against
it from the wheat-raising districts.
IF the price is fixed the minimum
will he made the maximum. as it was
last year" said Chairman Haugen OF
the House committee. The farmers
believe that the guaranteed price last
year kept them from getting better
prices for their wheat do not be-
lieve that Congress will ever again
fix the price of wheat"
The feeling among the members Is
not to stir up trouble by hardening
to the propaganda. from foreign
sources designed to curb the farm
ers. The members of Congress are
strong in the belief that a guaran-
eed price would check rather than
stimulate production. Tho prospect
now is that wheat prices will be high;
higher even than last year. and the
wheat growers expect to profit. They
are opposed TO a guaranteed price.

Packers Offer to Sell
Yards to Stockmen

Stock yards of the United States
owned by the big five" packing
companies will be sold to the live
stock producers of the country if
they can be induced to buy them. M
w. Borders. counsel for Morris & Co
told the House agriculture commit
tee yesterday.
Attorneys for the big packers be-
gan today arguments which will con-
clude the prolonged hearings that the
committee has held on proposed
regulatory legislation for the pack
ing industry.
I'VE are going to give the produc-
ers a fair. square and first opportun-
ity to get these yards" Mr Borders
said. believing that it is to the best
good of the industry. since the yards
must have new ownership under the
decree obtained by the Attorney Cen
eral. They should be held by per-
sons who will not be interested in
running them solely for a profit"
Mr.. Borders pleaded for a fair con-
sideration of the packers. declaring
that the decree obviated any neces-
sity for legislation which might
hamper the business and that there
would be great difficulty in meeting
its requirements. although the pack
ers intended to do it.

Prior to 1882, when the federal
government first assumed definite
control Of immigration, the movement
was practically unregulated. 1t was
in that year the first general immi-

1875 a law was put through to ex-

Fundamentally. the immigration
laws of the. United States have been
based on the theory Of selection rath-

the immigration bureau believe today
that this theory of selection should
be the basis of future laws A bill

which is of no little interest, pro-

aliens. By such a system it would be
possible for the United States gov

the fact that on the chautauqua
circuits they will pay real money

That very district where Lincoln cam

resentative William B. Mckinley is a
candidate for the United States SEN

interurban trolley system owned
largely by Mr.. Mckinley. and in his
own car he speeds through the re-

the farmers who motor to the side

before and since that date that there
would be an influx of immigrants di-
| rectly the war was over. Bills have
been introduced to limit and to ex-
clude immigrants for periods running
from two to twenty years after peace

enacted. A bill providing for a sus-
pension of immigration for four
years was favorably reported from

/ Allen Population Decreases.
What actually has been the situation
with regard to immigration into this
| country since the close of hostili-
ties? Figures obtained from the i'm
| migration bureau show that from De-
| cember, 1918. to November. 1919. in
elusive, the number of immigrant
aliens was 230,193. For the same pc
| riod the number of emigrant. aliens
| was 246.55 representing an actual
decrease in the alien population of
the country. The most recent figures
show that the number of immigrant
1928, and for the same month. the
number of emigrant aliens was &c, 105.
The figures for December. January.
February and March are not yet
available, but it is estimated that they
will approximate those of November.
The danger Of a horde of aliens over
running the country through immi-
grafton. therefore. does not appear
as imminent as it did at the time the
armistice was signed.
Nevertheless, many members of Con-
gress are still intent upon suspending
immigration for a period Of years.
Developments after this country en-
tered the war showed clearly that too
little has been done in the past to
bring about the assimilation of aliens
and their Americanization. There
have been too many hyphenated
Americans. The advocates of suspen-
sion of immigration believe that it
would be the wiser part during the
next few years to attempt to bring
about the Americanization and as
simiIation of those aliens already
within the United States. instead of
permitting the number Of aliens to
grow constantly.
81, Zoo. 1O3 Immigrants in Century.
When the actual immigration into
the United States in the last 100 years
is considered, the tremendous task of
assimilation may be better under
stood. In that period the arrivals
reached the huge total of $4,000, lob.
The high-water mark was reached in
1907. when approximately 1.2s0.o0O
immigrants entered the country. In
the following year the immigration
dropped to about 100000. But in 1914
it had again increased and in that
year amounted to 1.225,000.

the armistice immigration did show

with which the country has been faced since

The natural anxiety of Jim and Jane as to
what portion of the big increase will be borne
by them must be endured until the future dis
closes the answer. The worst from their point
of view will probably be an increase of from So

The best would be the entire absorption of the
increase by reducing the operators profits at
present prices. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note that since DR.. Garfield declared
the operators could afford to absorb a IA per
cent increase. the cost of coal to the public
has been advanced. and that with estimated
total production of 500, 900 900 tons, in
