It is almost exactly three months to the end of taxpaying time. After matching it requires six or seven weeks to produce frying chickens weighing from 1 to IF pounds, ac- cording to stock and feed. Such chicks will probably very readily bring at least 25 cents per pound at that time.
 How many such chickens would you have to raise to pay your taxes?

THE NEW IMMIGRATION BILL

THE bill now before congress providing Tor three
wear period OF immigrant restriction has obvious
superiority TO the present temporary measure III
important respects. For the period mentioned II
would limit immigration to the parents, husbands
wives and minor children of immigrants already in
this country This is manifestly better way to go
about the matter. Instead OF determining the vol
ume of immigration by arbitrary and rather IL
logical percentage system, based the status OF a
decade ago and ignoring the human tacsor TINS
new plan does the opposite 1t starts by recognizing
the human factor letting in those aliens whose
coming is more justified by human ties and allowing
the actual numbers to take care OF themselves.
This, too is obviously intended as temporary
measure though less so than the present law 1t
would hardly do a permanent arrangement pe-
cause il offers no final solution OF the immigrant
problem 1t does seem, however, to offer some Such
safeguard as the country needs against new flood
OF aliens at this inopportune time 1t would prop
ably let in no more than the present law does while
avoiding the cruelty and injustice nseparablc from
this laws operation.
