RUSSIAN REF yGEES
SEEKING ADMISSION
Expelled From Vladivostok Col
ony Is Now in Philippines
After Eventful Experience

MANILA, July 31.-A survey cf
the condition of the $50 Russian sa
fugees who arrived here nearly a
year and a half ago from Vladivos-
tok is to be made by the Philippine
health department, the bureau OF
customs and a physician Of the
United States quarantine service to
determine whether they are quail
fled to enter the United States.
There appears to be little Iikeli-
hood of the refugees being allowed
to land in the United States for
many months to come but Admiral
Stark, who led the colony from Via
divostok, expresses the hope that
arrangement for admission of most
of the Russians may be made.
About a year ago some 600 of the
$50 who came here in February
1928 were sent to San Francisco on
the army transport Merritt and re-
ports from them about favorable
conditions in the United States
have caused their friends and rela-
tives remaining here to renew their
efforts to reach America.
The colony of some 1000, head
ed by Admiral Stark, adherent of
the old monarchical regime was
forced to leave Vladivostok by the
soviet. They took 116 small ships
and set out late in 1922 to look for
a country in which to land. Sever
al thousand were dropped in Korea
and other thousands Were left in
China, number of ships being SOLD
enroute to obtain subsistence. When
they reached the Philippines the
personnel had dwindled to $50 and
the number of ships to eleven Dur
ing the last year and,a half five
more of the ships have been sold,
leaving six now at Olongapo naval
station.

tants of Washington Arrest
ed During Past Year
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON. july 81.-Hera
IS problem for our experts on the
advance of civilization:
Washington, capital city of "the
most advanced nation On earth. !"
the seat Of Americas law-making
power, center of educational and
social culture, having in its populs-
uon a higher percentage of col
lege' folk and lower percentage
OF illiteracy than any similarly large
city, IS close to the top Of the list
IN per capita average OF arrests
made for violations of law!
Figures just compiled for the
year ending July show shat, on IN
average, one inhabitant cut of six
was arrested for some form or 9th
er of 4awlessness during the last u
months.
That, it must be admitted, isn't
very good record. Certainly it is
not a good record for the city whose
chief business is the making and adj
ministering of laws for the rest of
the nation.
1t represents an average of al
most one arrest per family, on the
basis OF five persons To q family
=
Analysis of the statistics of these
arrests show that automobiles and
booze are at the root Of the in
crease.
Total arrests for violation Of the
liquor laws We're 1921. For disre-
gard Of automobile laws, 47,O25 ar
rests were made, 1876 being for
speeding and 23,228 for traffic
violations"
Major Dan Sullivan, superintend-
ent of police, who in connection
with prohibition, describes Washing
ton as "a hip-pocket town. explains
the statistics by saying that Wash
lngton isn't growing more lawless
but that the police are more vigila.t.

So much for Washington's failure
to live up to the laws she has. Now
for a law she'd like to have, but
hasn't.
Much more than additional pro
hibitive" laws, saying what must
not be done, Washington would like
a "permissive" law, granting au-
thority for the development of the
water power now running to wsatu

The reckless auto drive gets Oh

just as many reckless pedestrians
as drivers, even more. In New

killed by autos while jay-walking

THAT CARAVAN

Council Leader: = The idaho State
Editorial association, in picking
Grangeville for its next meeting place,
has made wise choice, both from the
standpoint of benefit to be derived
and the pleasure of the trip for most
of the members attending. Grange
vile is doing what she can TO prepare
for the members entertainment while
there, and the meeting seems to prom
Use a record attendance, as well as
some important results accomplished.
But the chief benefits, perhaps, both
to the members and to the state at
large, that may be expected from the
meeting will come, directly or indir-
ectly, from the trip itself to and from
the Place of meeting. The state of
Idaho has expended millions of dol
lars in building new highways, and
the most beautiful of them all, per-
haps, and the most useful, is the
North and South highway, linking to-
gether the two sections of the state
and extending through Council on to
Grangeville/ and Spokane, to the coast
and to Canada. Not only is this one
of the finest highways so far built in
Idaho, but the scenery along its route
is unsurpassed anywhere in the west.
The only regret is that it is not at
present completed in all its length.
Notwithstanding its many attrac-
tons this route and the country
tributary to it is very little known
or appreciated even by Idahoans
themselves and much less so by out
siders. That is the chief reason why
this proposed visit by practically all
of the newspapers publishers and
writer's of at least the southern half
of the state and adjacent Oregon sec
lions, is bound to be of incalculable
value to this section in helping to
acquaint the world at large with the
resources and the attractions of this
vast, new, unknown, rich section of
our native state. 1t is an opportunity
which may not present itself again
in 80 years for both the editors and
the people along the route, the one
to see what this section offers, and the
other to show them. If either over
looks this opportunity, both will be
the losers.

ROAD PARASITES

ton which takes the cream but SCOTS
at the skinned milk. These people
want to use the roads built by the
people and for the people but they
show little willingness to bear, their
share Of the expense of keeping the
roads open for traffic.
The owner of these trucks complain
bitterly because the country is slow to
open the roads for them. They are in
sistent in their demands that the
money of Kenosha county be expend-
ed in order that companies in Chica-
go, paying absolutely no taxes in
Kenosha county. be spent to open up
the roads that they may operate a
profitable business.
The whole situation, again, sug-
gests the need of better regulation of
truck traffic on the roads. These com
panies should be adequately taxed so
that out of the taxes could be taken
a reasonably large amount for the
clearing of roads of snow as well as
an amount which may be necessary
for other upkeep of the roads.
Shippers who use these trucks for
their business should see the danger
of taking business away from com
panies which render service in fair
weather and stormy weather to give
it to road parasites that lie down on
the job just the minute there is a lit
tie grief to be borne. The companies
which make it their business to bat
tie snowstorms to keep transporta-
tion moving are the companies en-
titled to the business of men who
want to build up the right kind of
transportation facilities.
