CONGESTION SOLVING ITSELF

One problem of immigration, congestion
in eastern cities, seems to be solving Itself,
if one may judge from the number of rail-
road tickets sold by the Trunk Line asso-
citation on Ellis island last year. In 1922
thirtv-four thousand tickets were sold to
immigrants going to Chicago, st. Louis and
points farther west, or thirty-seven per
cent. of all the tickets sold by the associa-
ton from Ellis Island. Nineteen thousand
immigrants bought tickets for the middle
territory, east Of Chicago and st. Louis, but
west of Buffalo and Pittsburg. Thirty-six
thousand tickets were sold for that part of
the country lying east of Buffalo and
Pittsburg, but west of New York and neigh
boring towns. Immigrants who went to
New England towns and cities last year
were fewer by nearly fifty per cent. than
in 1921, and only one thousand tickets were
sold for the southern states.
The south has never made bid for gen
eral immigration, although it is hospitable
to the better class of immigrants. The ten
dency to congregate in the larger cities and
work in mills and factories has kept the
tide of immigration from setting toward
the south to any appreciate extent. I'm
til our immigration laws are n6dified to
keep out the undesirables, the southern
states will consider themselves rather for
tunate than otherwise that the percentage
of foreigners is comparatively small. Just
why more immigrants are gong west is not
apparent, unless there are more farmers
among the new arrivals than formerly, al
though the kind of immigrants who have
previously settled in New York and other
eastern cities might expect to follow the
same pursuits in Chicago and ST. Louis. A
wider distribution of immigrants is desir
able for several reasons. If more of them
Z were willing to work on farms it would
solve the problem of farm labor, when
\ they are not crowded into foreign settle
ments, where their living conditions are
bad they retain the customs of their native
lands, and are more likely to be assimilated

Where Ala ba ma Wins

NIauSden Evening Journatj
The difference between Alabama
and llllno1s Is set forth II, strikln,
terms in the latest edition of tn.
Alabama Traveller of Birminfham.
1t shows the advantage this state
has over the corn belt of the north
in the matter of investment. Ill.,
nois is taken as typical corn pro-
ducing state. The compilation of
figure sshows that $40 acres of
Illinois land at $500 an acre rep
resents An investment OF $192,OUO.
Climatic housing there will cost
$4,000 and climatic barnls,
$40, 900, or a total Investment of
$230,000. Interest on this amount
at per cent, the prevailing rate
there, is $4,000 a year. IN Ala
bama, $40 acres at $40 an acre will
cost $4,000 Add to this cnratlc
housing at $4,000 and climatic
barns at $4,000, and there is a total
investment of $4,000. Interest
rates in Alabama are higher than
in Illinois, but at per cent. the
interest on the investment amounts
to $3,4440.
Then the Traveller continues:
There is a handicap Of $l3.36O in
interest on capital invested. In
the great corn biet there is about
six months crop production an
nually.
In Alabama there is fully ~
months Of diversified production;
every day In the year someth9ne
fresh from the soil can be gste---1
and marketed at a profit.

by the house of representatives. 1t gives
to the department of commerce the power
to regulate and supervise wireless telegraph
the numerous stations throughout the coun-
try from competing on the same wave
lengths. All transmitting operators, except
government employees, will be required to
have licenses Wave lengths will be
signed to the different stations and their
sending time will be supervised, where neces-
sary. The secretary of commerce will also
have authority to prevent wireless monopolies
by refusing or revoking licenses. Army,
navy and other government stations will
not be licensed, but will conform to the
rules when handling non-government bust
ness. There will be no interference with
amateur receiving stations, but amateur
transmitters will be assigned special wave
lengths.
That legislation of this kind has become
necessary in such a short period of time
shows the remarkable growth of wireless
telegraphy. Once discovered, the simplicity
and ease of wireless transmission, which is
within reach of any boy with a little me-
chanical ingenuity, have made it a national
pastime, but one that cannot be INDUCED
in indiscrimnat ely without creating con
fusion worse confounded.' Only few
years ago it seemed highly improbable that
a law would even be needed to end the
clashing of radio waves in the air.

A bill has Deen introduced III lne statc
senate commanding all vehicles to come to
a dead stop at grade crossings. Probably
on the theory that it's better to come to
dead stop than to come to a stop dead.
This would be wise law for people to
obey, but what's the use of passing law
that cannot be enforced?
There are two main kinds of people-the
cautious and the reckless. About the mos
definite service the former may perform ror
the latter is tearfully to gather up their
scattered remains.
As long as we have grade crossings and
similar death traps, there will continue to
be people MORALLY caught in them Per-
haps the legislature would do well to order
Establishment of the more dangerous cross
ings.
There would still be plenty of ways in
which people could get themselves fatally
