CHILDREN'S GIFTS

Many inexperienced parents have joyfully planned
for small childs first Christmas, only to find that
the youngser turned away unineresed from beautiful
and complicated toys to simple, inexpensive OBJ
ject-a rag doll a cotton rabbit a box with an
easily removable lid. Often adoring aunts and uncles
bring lavish gifts to little folks who ask for no elab-
crate aids to happiness.
This is something to keep in mind when doing the

enough to be carried about the house easily, soft

IMMIGRATION POLICIES

Secretary of. Labor Davis IN his annual. report
suggests three changes in the immigration law all of
which are worth discussing. a.
The first is that Canada, Mexico and the rest of
our North American neghbors should be put the i'm
migrant quota basis the other nations. 1t is
doubtful whether there is any sound reason for dis
eliminating in favor of these adjacent countries
law does at present With quota for Mexico it would
be easier to stop the present large influx of Mexi-
cans and other nationates by way OF the Mexican
border and gulf ports. Application of quota restrc-
ton to Canada would probably please that country
rather than offend her, because Canada prefers to
keep her people at home.
The secnd recommendation would make quotas
elastic empowering the immigration bureau to let in
more aliens in time of labor shortage in this country
and reducing the number of entrants in time of
ployment. This is a reminder that immigration and
labor are properly combined in one governmental de-
partment, and might well be handled by it parts of
the same economic problem.
The other proposal is the registration and enroll
ment of all aliens admitted to this country. Such
ton is taken by many foreign countries, for their
protection and for convenience in distributing immi
grants effectively, and should work we'll here
as it does in Canada, for instance.

Baron Sumner of England is impressed unfavor-

WEALTHY LABOR

Organized labor only has been in the banking ous-
mess three or four years It started with the LOCO
motive Engineers and far is mostly confined to the
railroad brotherhoods. Yet there are now 81 laoor
banks in the United Staes and they have total re-
sources of almost S10000n,00O
Phis is a mere hint Of the capitallstc power that
labor NAV attain in the future. Labor really has great
er opportunity for the accumulation OF wealth ana
financial control of industry than has capltal II
self as we understand capital at present
The ulk of the earnings of any big industry goes
to labor Labor has passing through its hands at any
time of the vast sums of money with which the nation
business is done 1t mainly question OF how much
of that money labor saves and invests
In this favored country, with high wages, laoof
can if it will save ard invest more millions per year
than can the saared and capitalist classes With sys-
ematc saving and united action, labor could eventu-
ally dominate industry financially That may never
happen but the possibility is evident
And the possibility need rot arouse any fears on
the part of tmid capitalists of the old type work

a bank account labor union is less prone to radlcai
uterance and action when it is in the banking ousl-

The labor men are said to run their banks eonsera-
lively making good profits but taking no rash chances
If they ever come to own their industries they may
run them Just as conservatyely giving both capital
