IMMIGRATION
REVISION SOUGHT
Davis to Ask SeIeCtive Sys-
tenn for Bringing Aliens
to United States.

Revision of the new immigration
law to provide a selective system for
bringing Immigrants to this country
viii be sought at the next session of
Congress by Secretary Davis of the
Labor Department. who has JurisdiC
ton over immigrant questions.
Chief among the changes proposed
Will be one in connection with the
contract labor provisions of the law,
under which aliens are not permitted
TO come to this country at present if
they have promise or contract for en-
ployment after reaching these shores.
This provision, in the view of Secre-
tary Davis. attaches a maximum risk
to emigration from other countries,
and discourages from coming here the
class of immigrants most desirable.
He believes that the hard-wOrking,
substantial type of immigrant who
has family to support is almost bar
red under the present law. because if
he comes here he must do so blindly,
with no assurance that he may have
employment.
Sees Better Type Come.
If such aliens We're given assurance
of work before leaving their home
lands, the Secretary believes that un-
der proper supervision. such n plan
-
eigner to take up citizenship here.
American labor however, the Secre-
tary insists, must be given complete
protection, work being offered to pros
pecttve immigrants only after i Is
found that there is no available
American labor
1t is to this end that the Secretary
proposes to maintain agents of the
immigration Bureau abroad, much
after the method of maintaining COM
merical attaches in foreign lands.
Would Know Needs.
These agents would be kept advised
under the Secretary's plan, of the
labor needs of industry in this coun-
try, and from the list of prospective
Immigrants in the hands of the immi-
grafton attache. the best available
men abroad would be picked and
brought to this country. The plan
contemplates removal of the aliens
entire family, which in itself, the Sec
retary feels, would remove one of the
greatest evils of the present system.
the effect of which requires the alien
TO come here and find employment
before sending abroad for his family
One of the greatest advances the
Secretary belives possible under the
present law was made recently when
agents of the State, Treasury and
Labor Department were sent abroad
to establish in the Irish Free State.
and later, if possible, in other coun-
tries, a system of inspection and ex-
animation Of aliens abroad. This sys-
tenn, combined with a system of select
ing immigrants abroad, Secretary
Davis feels, would remove the two
greatest problems Of the immigration

AN INDEPENDENT EDITOR

After more than 49 years of service as editor and publisher of the Chica- go Daily News, Victor F. Lawson sud- denly passed away short time ago. He would have been 75 years old on September 9, yet he was daily at his desk until the day before he died.
 Mr. Lawson's outstanding accom- plishment in his chosen field was prob ably his demonstration of the fact the newspaper may be a success independ- ent of any political party or faction. There are many such independent newspapers today, but when he began to build up the News in 1876 strongly partisan newspapers were the rule.
 He also took the lead in printing newspaper features, drawing his ma terial from the most gifted writers of the entire country, giving the News broad and nationwide character, while other prominent newspapers were inclined to be narrow and pro- vinciaI.
 Aside from his journalistic activi- ties, MT. Lawson was a man of altru- istic and philantropic inclinations. He inaugurated and promoted the move ment for posta! savings banks and has been called the father of that move ment, which resulted in the establish ment of the present system in 1911. He established and maintained the Lincoln Park Sanitarium for sick and poor children and engaged in many other charitable works.
 He left $2,25O,O0O, about three fourths of his estate to the Congrega- tional Missionary and Extension So- ciety, the Chicago Theological Semi nary and the Chicago Y. NJ. c. A. in equal portions.
 Few men have lived more noble and useful lives than Victor F. Lawson.

covered from given quantity of oil than ever before. This alone has served to almost offset the increase in consumption.
 Refiners find themselves with an overproduction on their hands and de- sire to turn it into cash. It is the old, memorable law of supply and de- mand
 The result will be, undoubtedly a curtailment of refining operations lessening of the demand for crude oil further reduction in crude oil prices, slackening of drilling operations and consequent lowering of produc- tion Then when the equilibrium be- tween supply and demand is restored prices will rise again.
 In the meantime, let the motorist enjoy his cheap gasoline while he may.

WHY A GASOLINE WAR?

Consumers of gasoline have no doubt been greatly pleased to benefit by the drastic cuts in prices during the present gasoline war Coming at the season of maximum consumption the saving to the public has been enor- nous.
 Few, perhaps, have taken the trou- ble to learn the reason for the price war, which on the face of things would seem difficult to account for, when it is known that consumption of gasoline has been more than 25 per cent great CT this year than ever before
 The reason is not so hard to under stand, however, in the light of the facts. Production of crude oil has been maintained at a high daily aver age, large stocks of both crude oil and gasoline are in storage, refining has been running ahead of consumption. Due to improved refining processes, a greater amount of gasoline is now re-

URUGUAY IN THE NEWS

Uruguay, smallest of South Ameri- can republics, has figured somewhat in the news of late owing to the late visit of the Prince of Wales, and the celebration of the centennial of the country's independence It is now wonderful little nation and highly progressive.
 Uruguay has population of about 1,600,00O, the only large city being Montevideo, the capital, with some 100000. In area the country is slight not much larger than the states of New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut combined. During the last few years great ad- vances have been made i'll social well fare and particularly in education, which is compulsory and free in the primary grades, the rural schools be- ing especially efficient. Church and state were separated in 1916 Agri- culture and stock raising are the lead ing industries.
 Like other Latin-American countries Uruguay has suffered greatly from in terior rebellions. After driving the Spanish from Montevideo in 1874, war with Brazil resulted in the annexation of Uruguay to that country. Revolt in 1925 was followed by declaration of independence which was recogniz- ed in 1928 and the republic was for
 mally established in 1880. Shortly there began long period of civil strife, followed by war with Paraguay, which ended in 1870. Since
 then the country has been compara- lively peaceful, except for one revolt in 1903-4.
 The centennial of Uruguayan inde- pendence practically coincides with
 the 2O0th anniversary of the founding of Montevideo, now one of the best
 built and most thoroughly modern cit
 ies in the world.

HIGHWAY OR TRAIL
From Alaska Weekly, Seattle)

From Alaska Weekly, Seattle)
 The Seward Gateway recently pub lished an interesting interview with MT. F. P. Roper, newspaper man of Lodi, California. We don't like to boost the members of the Fourth Els tate too hard but do feel constrained to say that if the public comments of visiting congressman were in the main half as constructive Alaska would have a warmer feeling for congressman.
 We do take mild exceptions to MT. Ropers remarks concerning the Rich ardson Highway, however. We hap pen to be sitting just now in the lobby of the Whitcomb Hotel, San Francisco, doing our stuff to get it back in time for this weeks paper. We are tired and dustry and our arms and shoulders are sore from yesterdays drive over the celebrated PACIFIC HIGHWAY.
 We have ridden over the Richard son Highway and it is not boule- ward, but we are here to state that if it is mountain trail" as MT. Ro- per terms it, then the road between Dunsmuir and Bedding in the cele brated highway state of California is COW path fit only for a tractor to attempt, and with conpensating scenery which pales into insignifi- canoe beside the grandeur of the yistas which spread out before the traveller on the Richardson Highway
 No, we do not subscribe to the idea that highway" is misnomer judging by some fo the highways of the states. It is a highway and, all things considered, good one. We do not believe that the average among the travelling public are misled into the expectation of perfect roadway and are more than satisfied with the trip over the Richardson Highway.

 while thousands of stills, large and large stills, with total capacity of 17,40O gallons were seized recently in one day. There is perhaps hardly a county in the whole country where liquor is not being manufactured every day.

MUSCLE SHOALS READY

Like the well-known individual who is "all dressed up and rio place to go," Muscle Shoals is now ready to pro- duce power, but no provision has been made for using it.
 Wilson Dam is finished, machinery is in place and preliminary tests are being made of the four initial units; power will be available in consider able quantities within few days. Yet no plan has been worked out whereby this great power plant may be put to work for the benefit of the people whose money has built it at a tremen- dous cost
 The matter of disposing of the gi- gantic project, or the power to be gen. erated by it, has been before Con- gress almost continuously since the war, yet no solution is in sight. A commission appointed by the Presi- dent is considering the question but no action can be taken until Congress meets. If past performances by that body may be taken as criterion there is little probability of any immediate solution of this vexatious problem.
 Politics and conflicting interests have hitherto prevented a businesslike consideration of the Muscle Shoals en- tornriSa and have nffpctual1v hl0ckod an agreement between the House and Senate. Whether the new Congrss will be able to handle the matter ex- peditiously is open to question.

THE SERIOUS PROBLEM

Due to the spectacular nature of rum running and the wide publicity given to efforts of the Coast Guard in suppression of it, the illicit importa- has commanded major attention in con tion of liquor into the United States nection with prohibition enforcement.
 While importations have been en- ormous, they have embraced only a minor fraction of the liquor consumed. The most serious and difficult prob lem, after all, is the suppression of H. licit distilling, commonly called moon shining. ggKsy

Disclosure in Congressional de-
bate that the War Department had
asked for an appropriation of
$27, 900 to make up defalcation
Of an Army disbursing officer "at-
tached to an American embassy in
a foreign country" resulted today
in the revelation that Major Fur
man McCammon, former military
attache in Chile, was court-martialed
a year ago on charges OF misap-
propriating funds entrusted to his
care.
War Department records reveal
that McCammon pleaded insanity
when brought before court
martial and was acquitted on that
ground. He was American military
attache at Chile from 1921 TO 1923,
and according to the charges on
which he was tried. he withdrew

HOUSE WILL ACT
ON D. c. CRIME

Drastic legislation for the control
Of crime in the District of Column
bia, as a result of the recent
wave" will be undertaken in, the
House Immediately following the
Christmas holidays, it was indicated
today.
A thorough investigation of crime
conditions here by a special sub
committee Of the House District
Committee will be asked.
Congressman Thomas l.. Blanton
of Texas, at the first meeting Of the
House District Committee after the
holidays, will move that the com
mittee reappoint the Rathbone sub
committee Of last year.
He will ask that the sub.com
mittee be given the power to inves'
tigate law enforcement, court con
ditions and traffic conditions.
There now is being prepared for
introduction in the House bill
to control the production and sale
of revolvers and other deadly
weapons in the District. The meas
ure will be submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioner for approval
and probably will be introduced as
a committee bill.
The bill, as it is now being
framed, will carry severe penalties
for the commission Of any cEime
by any person carrying deadly
weapon.
For the first offenF~ the usual
punishment provided for the crime
committed will be imposed and in
addition the Jail sentence of not
less than five years will be i'm
posed for carrying the weapon.
Conviction for a second or third
offense will carry penalty for
the crime itself double the usual
penalty, together with imprison-
ment for fifteen years.
Unauthorized carrying of a re-
volver will constitute evidence of
intention to violate the law.
The measure provides that no
dangerous weapon may be carried
upon the person or in an automo-
bile without permit. Violations are
to be punished by imprisonment
for year and confiscation of the
weapon.
Permits to carry revolvers will
be issued by police court judges
with written approval Of the sup

The exact form Of the income tax
which Senator William II. King Of
Utah win seek to impose upon citi-
zens Of the District Of Columbia re-
mains undetermined.

ator King by the Corporation Coun-
sells office does not entirely meet

Counsel starts with an income tax
Of one half OF one per cent on the
first 81 900 OF taxable income and
reaches q maximum of 5 per cent
on all above $4,000 OF taxable in
come. Exceptions of 81 500 for mar,
ried men and 81 500 for single men
are a part of the bill.

be improved upon and made more
equitable. He viii introduce the
matter of reorganization Of Dis
trict taxation at an early meeting
