place during half of the decade 1910192O The result a decrease in the proportion which aliens represented of the total foreign born white population with corresponding increases in the pro portions of who naturalized and of those who had taken out their first papers
 In 34 states and the District of Columbia the pro portion naturazed increased; in A states and the District the proportion having first papers increased and in 32 and the District both these propor- tions increased For Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona the returns show very con siderably increases in the proportions aliens These increases due wholly mainly to the presence
 in 1920 of large numbers of natives of Mexico this class of the population having more than doubled during the last decade-increasng from 2lS,SO2 Tn 1910 to 477,521 in 1920. In Nevada and California also the influx of Mexcans resulted in increases in
 the proportions alien, but these increases were less pronounced than those in the other states named.
 The figures showing the citizenship status of for eignb born white females refer to 1920 only, no re turns to citizenship of women being called for at the census of 1910. For the United States as a whole somewhat more than half (52 per cent) of all the foreignbor white women in 1920 were reported naturalized and two-ffhs GAO cent) aliens, leaving only IA per reported as having taken out first papers and 67 per cent for whom the citi zenship reported.

A JUNEAU MONUMENT.

The celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of Juneau is worthy of than passing notice. It is evidence that Juneau is not transient camp, but a. city with her foundations built solid rock. Juneau had been in existence sometime and had grown to sufficient proportions warrant ative bus- in founding banking institution here in the North She is still the largest important town in the North. Since she gained the ascendency many towns have sprung into existence. Some of them still with Others have disappeared Some of them passed Juneau in population and ap- parently in importance but they decayed Juneau in her steady progress, overlook them and reganed first place. The history dscloses that MT. Behrends chose wisely when he picked Juneau for his bank and mercantile establishment
 Another lesson taught by this anniversary is the confidence the people of Juneau have in B. M Behrends and his bank Practically every year of the thirty that have passed since the establishment of this institution has it larger than it was the year before It has advanced like Juneau, steadily and conservatiyely, but always advanced. It has never been in trouble Panics have come and gone but they never touched it. One notable incident in nection with the bank the fact that during the winter of 1907-8 when the commercial banks of the country paying checks other obligations in clearing house certificates, the B. M. Behrends Bank paid all demands upon it in gold coin
 The thirty years history of this banking institu-
 on is fine tribute to Juneau and to B. M Behrends

The High Cost of Reindeer.
(POrtland OregOnian.

(Portland Oregonian.)
 There chap years ago. Boer cap tain with a dream, who said that the southern gades, lush and verdant and almost ilmitable, would pasture many thousands of hppopotami for the Am ercan supply of the future He is gone with his dream, and it is probable that the millions of us must meander through life regretting those promised steaks. But another dream of the sort is to realization the rapidly increasing reindeer herds of Alaska. The meat is novelty now, but the shops Of tomorrow probably will display it casually as they offer beef mutton today.
 This matter of computing the reindeer possibili- ties is something like estimating the conjuga certain ties of the common, or pink-eyed, rabbit. As the experts figure it, Alaska has 200, 900 reindeer and already is exporting the dressed animals. Within fifteen years it is believed that the herds will have in creased approximately 5000, 900 animals, with an annuol surplus of 100000 for the outer markets. It seems likely that there will be enough to go round.
 sec. 900 000 of $60 apiece for the 150- pound carcasses constituting return of 40 cents a pound to the reindeer grower. We told, well, that distribution costs high and that not less than $40 ton is required to transport ton of the meat to Minneapolis, for instance. There, you will perceive, must add another cents to the cost if to accept this average of transporta- tion charges. Our steak, rather stew meat, now has valuation of AZ cents pound without al lowing the middeman his ancient privilege of taking extra toll They say. though for the sake of their market the fact should be kept secret, that costs practically nothing raise reindeer is sadden- purchase in and chops Some radical departure from the present before the general public turns its back liberty steak and orders the innovation.

RESTLESSNESS IN JAPAN.

Advices from Japan indicate that the Japanese are tion of Americans and English cooperate in the affairs of the Far East than people of the Western World the question of renewal of the Anglo oJapanese alliance It is alleged that there pre- yas large amount of suspicion in Tokyo that Great Britain will aid the United States in an alleged de termination to curta Japans activities and restrict her sphere of influence in the Far East Japanese newspaper openly declares that it is the intention the English speaking people to compel Japan to get out of China and Siberia
 great Japanese statesmen who brave enough to tell their own people that Japanese interest that is based on justice and right would be jeopardized by conference in which Americans Englishmen twere working in harmony This school of statesmen advocates that Japan enter the Washington conference with clean hands. and declare that do that it would be necessary first to the Japanese from both China and Siberia and then to lay all the cards the table and accept judicial decisions based upon the facts
 The time has arrived when it should be made clear that, in Asia and in America and Europe it is not necessary to extend nationality in order to extend commercial intercourse and industrial development. There is disposition among the Chinese or the Si- curtail her trade and peaceful activities What is objected to is the ranspanting of Japanese mi- tarism and governmental control

What Are Luxuries?
(New York World. ]


 Five billions of dollars is certainly lot of money for the people of the United States O spend for luxures and amusements in year, and this, it is minimum estimate" based the Federal taxes collected. The $1000, 100000 for movies and regular. theatres would pay years interest the national debt. Half of a billion went for ice-cream, soda water, etc. Perfumes and cosmetics con- sumers. $50,00O, ,000 and the public paid taxes of $500 900 just for the privilege of chewing gunm s No doubt the last item is useful as any to Illustrate the deceptive effect of personal expenditures stated in terms of national consumption When a Nation of than 100 900 900 people, mostly pros perous sets to buy things the aggregate of pur- chases is to be colossal to stagger day imagination.
 To counteract this lavish expenditure the Thrift Division of the Treasury Department has instituted campaign to discourage the indscriminate buying of non-essential things. Even Treasury expert might faler at the attempt to classify luxuries and dis tinguish them from necessaries. In which category should toilet soap be placed, and bathtubs books tobacco, vacation trips?
 Such classification may have statistical value but civilized finds the so-called essentials too necessary his comfort and convenience to pense with. They essentials while his money lasts and all that any thrift propaganda do is to show him the unwisdom of buying them when he cannot afford it.
