|cfnsiea Act Of 1852, ferhiaaing,
with certain npAifieatiaus, the
entry into the United States of
members Of the Mongolian race,
and their naturalization as citi-
zens. The subsequent acts of
1895 and 1910 are administrative
efforts to regulate the methods Of
Standardization rather than those
Of immigration. The nearest ap-
proach to the shaping Of an i'm
migration policy is the act of Feb
ruary 5th 1917, which brings US
within a few months to tile parti-
cipation in the World War by the
United States. Yet even this act,
while defining the admissible elias
ses, and those who are not adlnis-
sible, has no intention to restrict
immigration.
| At that time the World War
was in its third year, and ocean
travel and passenger transit from
country to country was at a low
,bb. There was hardly any appre-
| liable immigration since July 1914
Va condition which prevailed Until
after 1919.

the war are to; great deal res.

/ Americans viewed the possibility
\ Of an overflow of ,immigration
| which had been stemmed for at
least five years and threatened to
break down the solid wall which
had to be built as measure Of
lprecaution. Disease was rampant
| in Europe; the atmosphere was
laden with dangerous ideas, and
the unemployment in'this country
was great owing to unbalanced
economic conditions. War in
| dustries had to return to normal
production, throwing hundreds of
i thousands out of work, while the
J. return to peaceful pursuits of
over three million soldiers added
to the ranks Of the unemployed.
All things considered, this com
: TRY was compelled to look towards
ia restrictive method to keep out
an overflow of immigration which
! at that time would not have been
lin the best interest of this eouil-
sitry. The Act Of 1921, placing adj

THEIR RECORDS

THE VOTERS of the country who
have been looking up the records
of the different candidates have, no
doubt, made up their minds for whom
they are going to vote.
They have found that Calvin Cool
idge has an honest, clean record
that he has been the cause of great
tax reductions-that he has stopped
the waste of the peoples money
that he has brought marked economy
into effect in the affairs of the gov
ernment-that he has earnestly
worked for the interest of the whole
nation. Even the warmest support
ers of LaFollette cannot deny these
facts nor can they point to any help
full laws that bear LaFollette's name
during the many years that he has
been in congress, his course has been
that of fault-finder; whatever any
one else did was wrong-he never
appeared to seek to help build up
he is like an actor who never can give
any credit to another performer, no
matter if the latter is star and de-
serves commentator. Even William
Jennings Bryan said nice things
about political opponents if they did
something that he considered of a
constructive nature.
Every neighborhood of any size has
an individual who finds fault with
what the rest of the men and women
neighbors are doing if he cannot be
chairman of every committee and the
principal speaker on all occasions.
Republicans, patriotic democrats
and others who do not wish to see
the prosperity of the country halted;
men and women who detest the SOW
let form Of government are elated by
the speeches that have been delivered
by LaFollette on his long heralded
tour for, by his talks on the tariff, he
has shown that he is more in favor
of Europe than he is of our country,
where high wages rule. He has shown
that he would break down the bar
riers that protect the farmer and
labor. He has shown that he would
add millions and millions Of dollars
in taxes by his public ownership plan;
he would create several million more
government office holders; he would
take away the protection of the
courts from the weak; he would des-

POSTAL SALARIES

IN CONNECTION with Lar oiiet1e
j rromise to Immediately raise the
..,aries of postal employees report
has been circulated here to the effect
that employees in the Kennewick post
office receive 500 month.
postal employees may be entitled to
increased pay but surely even the
TaFollette supporters cannot wish
.hst this increase be based upon a
Misrepresentation of the facts as re-
g.rds the present civil service wage
scale.
T. civil service there is no such
thing as an apprenticeship. The be-
elmer starts at a scale of 60 cents
= hour and his pay is increased as
NJ advances in the work. The low
at salary paid any employee in the
Kennewick postoffice is $500 a year
~ $3.50 a month. He works eight
hours, is given each year, Is days
vacation, exclusive of Sundays and
holidays, on full pay, and is allowed
ten days sick leave on pay each
wear. This sick leave is accumlative
over a period Of three years.
This paper does not presume to
ssy that the postal employees are not
entitled to more pay but certainly
their salaries compare very favor
ably with salaries paid generally for
clerical work.

troy a decent profit for the farmer
labor, dairymen, stockgrowers, cat
tlemen, beet sugar growers; in fact
he would bring down the wages OF
all industries; he would place the
standard of living on the level Of
that in Europe.
People are now asking what laws
of beneficial nature to the people
are on the statute books that bear
LaFollette's name and his most ar
dent supporters dodge the question
they would be delighted TO name
some but they cannot, he has talked
but that appears to be all.
LaFollette is the best friend LaFol-
lette has, he is the best press agent
that LaFollette has ever had, but he
cannot convince the voters, for they
realize what his socialistic theories
would do to this country. That does
not appear, however, to worry him
overly much, but there are several
dozen million American voters who
stand for the United States first and
last. A vote for LaFollette means
voting for low wages, failures and
general hard times.
