CALIFORNIA SENDS
 IMMIGRATION VAIL
Legion Protests to Coolidge About
 Admitting Japanese

San Francisco. March "A pro fest against the "gentlemans agree mcnt' with the Japanese and d plea for laws barring immigration Of per sons ineligible to citizenship have been telegraphed to President Cool iIgr oI representatives of the Amer ictn | "E,on. the California branch Of tho American Federation of Labor. tir Native Sons or the Golden West and inc California State Grange.
 The telegram told of President Roosetrl's attitude on the present agreement with Japan and opposed placing Japan on the quota" basis for immigra ton. IL read:
 Fl is established beyond contro- vrrsy that the so-called gentleman's agreement between the United State> and Japan for more than ten years has been and is now being violated by Japan and her people. In lsg9 the Pacific coast was assured by President Roosevelt in a telegram to the Cali fornia legislature that if such agree ment failed to accomplish a reduc- ton in the number of Japanese in the
  ment would take such action as would accomplish that purpose.
 "Such population has not decreased, but, on the contrary has greatly in- creased. and in our judgment the time for fed dl action in accordance with President Roosevelt's promise is at hand.
 ''The provision fin the house immi- grafton bill excluding from entry aliens ineligible to citizenship, with certain classes exempted, offers the speediest and surest means of accom- plishing that purpose. We are not unmindful that opposition to this provision has developed in certain quarters but are confident that the provision is just and that 1t offers the only sure method of avoiding future antagonism certain to produce serious International conflicts.
 We strenuously oppose the pro- posal to place Japan under the quota provision for such action will not &C., complish the required results, but will sacrifice principle and concede Japan's demand for recognition of racial equality and permit Japan to dieta'e this governments action in reference to a purely domestic question.
 The gravity Of the situation is our excuse for appealing directly to you for the exercise of your good offices in securing the adoption by congress of the provision excluding from entry for permanent resident all aliens who are not eligible to become citizens Of the United States"

POLICY FAvORINC
ELECTRIC FARMS
General Electric Cooperating to
Make Electricity Available
in Agriculture.

Extending electric service to the g.
100000 farms of the United States has
been made one of the principal OBJ
jectives of the General Electric Com
pany, which is desirous of seeing this
immense market and field of useful
ness made accessible. 1t is the belief
OF men at the head Of that company
that the way will be found to take
electricity to the farmer on a profit
able economic basis, and that when
this way is discovered, the complete
revolutionizing of farm life will result.
Practical difficulties have delayed
farm electrification. Even where high
voltage transmission lines are carried
through agricultural sections, farms
are usually so widely separated as to
make economical electric service to
them impractical.
Transformer Cost q Problem
To build a step-down transformer
substation to serve single farm costs
nearly as much as one to supply hun
dred farms: Transformers are essen
tial in tapping a high-voltage trans
mission lire.
The farmers problem Is to get elec-
tric service at cost low enough to
make it profitable for him to use. The
utility company's problem is to supply
the service at cost that will enable
1t to net fair return on the invested
capital. Agricultural machinery manu-
aeturers and electrical manufacturers
have before them the problem of de-
signing implements and appliances for
use in farm work that will be low in
cost and high in efficiency.
A recent organization known as the
Committee on the Relation of Elec-
tricity to Agriculture is tackling these
basic problems of farm electrificatiou.
This committee represents several in
terested parties on both sides of the
house-the farmers who will use the
electric service and the manufactur-
ing and business interests who will
supply 1t.
