KETNER AS A GO-GETTER

The Hon. Bill Ketner of San Diego is to go to
Washington for the purpose of getting what the coast
should have IN the way OF naval BASE or naval bases.
San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco have all be-
come alarmed over the prospects of getting Pacific
Notifications established and preserved in sufficient
strength to keep from shudderng whenever
think of what may happen when the next war comes
These three harbor cities have concluded it would
be better for al. at least naval base of
kind that would guarantee sort of security So
Mr.. Ketner is to go to the seat of government the
representative of all three to get what he for the
commoa defense. When he at the capital from
this district in the capacity of member of congress he
showed how he could absorb his full share of whatever
perqusites were being passed around.
1t is by of the record he then established
go-geter that he is being sent back though not
a congressman, to bring home bacon. His
first duty will be to get the three cities named to work
together When he succeeds in this he will be in fine
way get harbors and batteshps and forts establish
ed the coast till the enemy can't rest. When three
rival cities agree upon to them all, and at
that who is not in political harmony with the ad-
mnistration, it mighty fine compliment to the
chosen for the job. Ketner has good right to preen
himself on the position he occupies When he comes
home with few handsome submarines and des-
troyers and flying fields and bigger harbors his
belt he will be more duly acclaimed by grateful
people.

IMMIGRATION REFORM

Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation explains that when he criticised the pres
ent immigration law he did not to urge unlimited
immigration. He wants immigration restricted, he
says in quality rather than in numbers. His idea of
regulating quantity to be flexible system that
would let n from year to year number equal to the
necessities of our INDUSTRIES
There can be little quarrel with this plan a gen.
eral proposition. Most of those who have studied the
immigration question carefully agree that immigrants
should be selected with more regard to quality,
and should be admitted with regard to the needs
of American industry Canada has such system, and
it is said to work very we'll, admitting only aliens
deemed worthy of becoming citizens and suitable for
employment in industry agriculture, wherever they
happen to be needed
This is an ideal to work toward, rather than
plan for immediate acceptance 1t is evident that the
first thing needed is to make better arrangement for
picking the immigrants. After that the bars may be
let down somewhat For the present in spite of the
clamor of big employers for workmen, the public
seems to rejoice that few immigrants of any kind
coming in, that it is possible to assimate the
aliens already here.
The average citizen today will not admit that i'm
migrants are needed When the need becomes general
ly apparent it may be possible to obtain legislation
along the line that Judge Gary suggests.

FORCED NATURALIZATION

The Radio Corporation of America has issued an
order requiring all its employees to be naturalized
Most of them citizens already. Out more than
1,100 employees, only rs aliens, mainly Canadians
The latter said to object to the order. The
pany explains:
at is only reasonable that those who are enjoying
the privileges and advantages of inhabitants of this
country should the responsibilities of citizen
ship Our charter requires that all elective officers be
American citizens, and extending this require
ment to lncluae all our organizations. any do

will win the approval of most Americans as good
form of practical patriotism There room for argu-
ment however the other side. Ii may we'll be ques-
toned whether aliens driven into American citizen
ship in order to hold their jobs will make good citizens
1t may be better a general thing to leave them

. The cd rabbit gentleman was
working away at mcnding the hole
in his leakv roof, and he was won
dcring if he would have any advrn-
lures, when, all of sudden, voice
asked him:
What are you doing?'
Something in the voice caused
Uncle Wiggily to lcok up from
where he sat On the roof, and thc-e,
staring at him from where he stood
on the stepladder, was the Bashy
Bear. Up on the roof the bcar
climbed, sticking his sharp claws in
the shingles so he wouldn't slip.
"What are you doing?" growlcd
the Bear.
What am I doing! Why I am
mending leak in my roof an
swered Uncle Wiggiy.
why don't you ask me what |
am going to do!" asked the Bear
with grin that showed all {, his
teeth ''But l suppose you know

inquired. = .

You guessed it!' laughed tAc
Bear. But I'll be polite about it.
Go ahead, finish mending the hole
in your roof. III sit down and
wait, and when YOU are through LII
nibble your ears. -
The Bear sat down But, as it
hoppened, he sat down on big
chunk of the sticky-icky spruce
gum. And no sooner had the Bear
fastened himself to the roof than
Uncle Wiggily saw his chance.
ooh, no! Nibblc my earsf.will
you!' laughed the bunny. "WcH,
/ guess you aren't going TO DO it
right away. You'll sit here for a
while!"
Try as he did, the Bear could not
pull his shaggy fur loose from the
gum on the roof, There he was
stuck fast! Uncle; WiggiIy went
quickly down the ladder and called
two Police Dogs, who poured warm
water and melted butter around the
Bear until they had looscncd him
from the shingles, and then they ar 1
rested him.
" Next time YOU should look, be
fore you sit down, said Uncle
Wiggily, as the Police Dogs took

There is no need of getting excited over the an

American people spending than ever for lux
uries The biggest item in the list 2C00 OOO 900 for
automobiles in the last nine months is nothing TO w,or-

spend nearly that much for liquor Transportation is
vastly better than liquor for the national health and
morals.
1t is impossible too, TO draw the line and say lust
where the automobile ceases to be d luxury and be-
comes necessity In most il is probably about
half and half. And in tens Of thousands of families
who may be thought not really able to afford a car
that particular indulgence takes the place of various
other luXurieS.
Thrift is TO be urged, at all times, particularly
prosperous times, when it's practice brings so much
profit. And foolish luxury is to be deprecated at all
times. But there is no going 10 either extreme or
being silly about expenditures contributing vastly TO
human health and happiness. This is rich country.
