Present Oppressive Freights

(By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, April 2O.-A de-
tailed explanation of the sitting ef-
feet of the present high railroad
freight rates on the heavy tonnage
producing industries Of California is
given in letters written and sent to,the
California senate and assembly COM
nlittees on Federal relations by G
Harold Powell, general manager of the
California Fruit Growers exchange
and chairman of the Producers Trans
portation committee, appointed Wy
State Market Director Daniels at the
request of Governor Stephens.
Officials of all agricultural indus
tries have been advised according to
Powell in his letter of transmittal to
the Legislative committees. that reso-
lutions are pending before both of
these committees designed to urge
congress to reconsider Immediately the
transportation act of 1920, which au-
tomatically imposes oppressive freight
rates upon California industries in or
der to provide funds for the payment
of the per cent annual income guar
anteed to the railroads under this act.
In this connection the information
also comes from Washington that the
farmers conference there have an
nounced that because of existing
freights there is Virtually a buyers
strike on throughout the country, and
that while cheaper freight rates will
probably not allow the farmers to mar
ket at any considerable profit, freight
reduction would be one factor toward
solving his problem that would be
foolish to reject simply because it does
not solve all of their problems.

ference Great Danger of
Unrestricted immigration
of Nipp0nese Subjects.
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Sena-
tors and representatives in congress
of eleven western states have perfect
ed an organization with the view in
mind of finding common ground uron
which to work to solve the question of
japanese immigration. Senator H;rar?
w. Johnson Of California was made
chairman of the meeting and was di-
rected to appoint an executive COM
mittee composed of one senator and
one representative from each of the II
states of California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona
New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and
Colorado.
United efforts by these states in
dealing with the japanese immigra
ton question was urged by Senator
Johnson in his speech accepting the
craftsmanship of the organization, the
conference for which was called By
the California delegation.
V. S. McClatchey, editor Of the Sac
ramento Bee, told the conference thai
unless the Japanese problem was
solved by the absolute exclusion of the
Japanese they would inevitably swamp
the white race in the western states.
He declared they had established a
birth rate per thousand three times
greater than the white race, but if fur
ther immigration was prohibited that
in 100 years there would be no more
Japanese in California than whites.
The Japanese today control one
eighth Of all the rich irrigated lands
of California McClatchey said,and
they will not and cannot make Amer
lean citizens. Under the so-called
"gentlemen's agreement" between am
bassadors of the two countries, there
has been no suspension or restriction
Of immigration of the little brown
men. "We have done a remarkable
thing" he said, "in passing on to
Japan our sovereign rights of deter
mining who and how many may come
in. This so-called 'gentlemen's agree
ment' should be abrogated, Why shall
we longer surrender a supreme pre-
rogative of this character which Is to
our manifest detriment and ultimately
will be our undoing?"

termed by the Post, THE most

by the Sun. "The most entertaining

will be presented here the fifth night
of the Chautauqua by the Neighley
Broadway Players.
Nothing but the Truth" is taken
from Frederic S. Ishman's vastly
popular novel of the same name, and
made into a stage success by James
Montgomery. The plot is said to
have added to the laughter of ma
tions; it is joy tonic. a gloom

BIG PRODUCTION BY

MOUNTAIN HOME
FOR |NvAL|DS

Persons who are afflicted with tu-
berculosis and are now charges of I'M
perial county, probably will be provid-
ed with a permanent home in the
mountains at Jacumba or at Leland,
west of Imperial Valley, if a plan out
lined to the county supervisors is
adopted.
Statistics show that there are 60
persons in the county now afflicted
with tuberculosis, although only four
are in such an advanced stage that
their removal to more moderate eli
mate is necessary, and it is for these
four that the mountain sanitarium
may be established.
Mrs Edith Tate Thompson, on a
recent visit to Imperial Valley, rec
commended the removal of the most
serious cases to Santa Barbara, but
because of the expense involved, the
supervisors looked more favorably up
on the plan to establish a sanatorium
in the mountains. where each patient
would be provided with small cot
tage and the care of community
nurse and housekeeper. Probation

TESTS
Soil Conditions Here Pecul-
iarly Suited to Experiment
to Be Conducted in Road
Building by Government
and State.

Extensive experiments of interest
and Importance to road builders in
every state of the Union are to be
conducted in California under an a.
rangement which has just beer en-
tered into between the California high
way commission and the United States
bureau of public roads.
The detail of the arrangement has
just been announced by A. B. Fletcher,
chief engineer of the California COM
mission, following his return from a
conference in Washington with Thonl-
as H. Mcdonald, chief Of the bureau
of public roads.
Because of the peculiar soil condi-
tions which obtain in the Imperial Val
ley, and which is condition best suit
ed to demonstrate the experiments de-
signed, it is probable that much of the
work will be done within the boundar-
les of the valley.
Following an intensive investigation
by the United States bureau of public
roads of soils which have given par
ticular difficulty to road builders, it
has been discovered that the difficulty
with these soils, such as adobes and
clays, generally lay in the presence in
these soils of colloidal matter, a glue
like substance capable of extraordinary
absorption and retention of water.
Colloids have been extracted from
these soils, and the result has been
that the soil has been left inert and
deprived of it's quality of absorption.
Experiments show that the colloids
found in these soils are capable of
absorbing and retaining water up to
several hundred times the volume of
the colloids.
The result of the discovery of col
loids in these soils has been to change
the trend of thought in highway con-
struction.
The chief difficulty that highway
engineers have found in building roads
over these soils has been due to the
large expansion and later contraction
of the subgrade, resulting in longtud-
inal and other cracks ins the surface
slab. The attempt heretofore has
been to overcome this by increasing
the thickness of the surface slab.
The effort now is to be made to ov-
ercome this tendency to large expan-
sion and contraction by neutralizing
the colloidal properties of the soil and
rendering the subgrade suitable base
upon which to build the concrete slab.
In connection with the statement Of
the experiments to be conducted in
treating adverse subgrade soils. an
nouncement has also been made by the
United States bureau of public roads
that regional office is to be estab-
lished in San Francisco, having juris-
diction over | states and which will
exercise large degree of authority
This office will probably be in charge
of DR.. Hewes who conducted the study
of California highways for the United
states bureau of roads.

dlctment Of the management of the
great railroads of the country before
the Federal labor board for extrava-
gance and waste are summarized un-
Ger 9 different heads and show total
wastage Of nearly six hundred million
dollars per annum.
The wastes which the unions said
could not be estimated in terms of
money included a variety of subjects
ranging from defective train equip
ment and tracks through allegations
of incompetent and extravagane man
agement.
In the last class emphasis was laid
upon publicity and advertising and on
what the unions thought We're unnec-
essary legal expenses. Such expendi-
lures, it was claimed, have served to
increase and have been charged
wrongfully to operating costs.
1t was also charged that much of
the defective eouinment which the
arrangements of the roads are using
as an argument for >the need of de-
creased wage costs, Gould have been
avoided if the roads had declared less
liberal dividends and use proper pro-
portion of their earnings to establish
replacement funds.
The exhibit specifies in considerable
detail many of the particular econom-
les which the employees think should
be adopted but they say are not in
general use upon the railways, and
alleged inefficiencies complained of be-
ing based upon comparisons with the
standards of actual experience and the
practices in use upon well managed
roads.
Concluding, the exhibit points out
that the remedies suggested, "in many
instances, the specific methods where
by these wastes can be obviated-
largely from the mouths Of railroad
experts and officials" require close CO.
operation between the managements
and the employees.

HAY MARKET
VERY SLUGGISH

The markets for grain and feeding
stuffs reached new low levels during
the week under the influence of which
the market for alfalfa continued drag
ging and inactive. 1t would seem as
if in consequence of the apparently
endless decline in the prices of all
farm products prices had ceased to be
a factor in the demand; in fact, the
lower prices go the more buyers be-
come frightened and timid, and the
less they are inclined to buy beyond
their most immediate needs.
Experience has shown that. when
after a long continued and severe de-
cline this stage of utter indifference
and Encouragement is reached, it is
almost invariably a sure indication
that the decline has about run its
course and that these very conditions
make the situation ripe for an early
and decided change in the opposite dl-
rection.
70 this has to be added the fact that
it is now being generally realized, not
alone by the farmers, but by all the
leading authorities in government, nm
ance and business, that prices of farm
products have been forced much too
low and that it is of vital Importance
to give speedy relief to the farming
interests of the country, as the pros
perity of the nation can only be built
up again on basis of the prosperity OF
the farming industries.
Sales of standard dairy alfalfa for
future delivery are being made by
dealers here on basis of $3.50 pei
ton. baled, f. O. b. San JOAQUIN Valley
points; this price is equal to about half
the cost of production. 1t is the same
old game of short selling for the pur-
pose of breaking down prices by leav-
ing the farmer without market until
by the dealers playing one farmer
against the other, they are ready to
sell at whatever price the dealers
choose to give them.
There were 600 tons received on
the Los Angeles tracks the week end

Aduance Guard Getting Ready
for Boy Scouts Outing at
Laguna Resort.

Preparation is now under way for
the Y. M. C. A. Summer camp which
will be conducted in Laguna Noun
tains in the same location as used for
the past two years. Some much need
ed improvements are being made at a
minimum expense.
County Secretary w. f. Stevenson,
assisted by l.. H. Webber of Calex-
leo, spent last Friday and Saturday
in San Diego and at the camp
grounds planning the work to be
done. They took with them six Honor
Scouts. two from Imperial, two
from FL Centro and two from Cal
eXico. ii, ~ Il :" -
lnls was made an educational trip
for the boys who assisted in the work
and planning, as we'll as having a
good outing, which was a reward for
their good record in their scout work
during the year. Boys in the other
towns in the valley are contesting
for a similar trip which will be made
about two weeks later.
Friday afternoon on arriving at
San Diego the boys were taken TO the
Painted Desert, at Balboa Park,
which is scout headquarters for San
Diego county. This proved very
interesting and instructive expert
ence and one that will long be re-
membered by the boys. They were
then taken to the Y. M. c. A. for an
hour in the plunge and after supper
to one of the shows.
On Saturday morning after some
purchasing was attended to in the
city the party drove to Camp Kearny
where they wrecked and loaded four
tent frames, the material from which
will be used in building a dining hall
and kitchen at the summer camp.
The trip up to the camp with the
loaded truck was a @aborous one and
afforded an excellent opportunity
for displaying real scouting expert
ence and spirit. Sunday was spent at
the camp and in the mountains the
party returning to Jaucomba in the
evening where they camped over
night returning to the valley Mon
day morning. Each of the boys are
to write a story of not less than 500
words describing thenr trip.
