OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS

Just now we are hearing something from diff
ferent parts of the country about the modification
of our immigration laws.
Doubtless the movement for this modification
will gather force as congress convenes. The Am
erican people WILL however, view with concern
any general tampering with the immigration laws.
Under the present system the country has pros
.pered. Wages are high and this has increased
the buying power of the American people. In
addition, we are not now getting immigration any
faster than it can be absorbed, as was the case
a few years ago.
If the American people remain awake to the
ISSUE. the immigration laws will not be modified
in any way that will tend to let down the bars to
cheap alien labor. The working men of America
realize this. AS the Chicago Tribune puts it:
'The law was designed primarily to preserve the
American standard of living The standard can
not be preserved if hundreds of thousands of
workmen, accustomed to poverty are allowed to
come here each year, glad to accept wages wlaich
no American would consider Labor cannot listen
to arguments against the national origins law
without inviting further attacks on policy which
has made the American laboring man the most
prosperous in the world"
If the bars were let down, America would be
flooded with immigrants from all parts of the
world This would be a bad thing for the country
and for the immigrants vino would soon find that
the land of promise was not SO promising after
all, inundated as it would be by deIuge of alien
competition.

IMPORTANT RATE DECISIONS SOON

That Montana grain growers will be vitality af-
fected bv decisions soon to be made by the inter-
state commerce commission relating to railroad
rates on grain and grain products is the state
ment of George H. Moran, chief grain inspector
for the state department of agriculture Mr..
Moran is in charge of the states grain laboratory
at Great Falls.
"Two important questions" Mr.. Moran says,
(which were discussed at a recent hearing before
the Montana railroad commission, are the pro-
posals by the shippers that 'backhauI and clean
ing in transit privileges be allowed and these will
be taken before the interstate commerce commits
sion in the near future.
"As outlined in the proposed change, the ship
pers will have the privilege of shipping grain to
Great Falls, or any other milling and inspection
point in the state, for inspection and diversion,
and hauling it back over the same line that it
came in on, and then on to the terminal, the total
mileage to be charged as direct haul. AS, it is
at present, when grain is hauled back over the
same line the shipment takes local rate on the
short haul which is considerably higher per mile
than the through rate which is charged on long
haul. The purpose is to compute the charges on
the basis of the through rate for the whole dis
tance and eliminate the local rate where the grain
is diverted and moves on to the terminal. This
would undoubtedly be the means of saving many
thousands of dollars for the shippers of the state
for by determining the quality of the grain before
shipment to outside points, the shipper would
know exactly at which market he could best dis
pose of grain of that particular quality.
Much grain that now moves directly to eastern
and western terminals would come into Montana
inspection points before shipment. The cleaning
in transit privilege would also stimulate this move
ment into milling and inspection points, and would
be benefit to the producers and shippers in that
it would make possible the cleaning of grain before
shipment over the long distance to the terminals
In this way freight on dockage which in Mon
tana wheat ranges from nothing up to and IL
some instances more than 10 per cent, and aver
ages about per cent, would be saved. Also th'
dockage which has a value as feed, would b.
saved. At present Montana shippers pay th
freight on the dockage to the terminals, and re
ceive nothing for it."

ed in 1907. He was elected to con-
gress, served in the 65th, 66th, 67th,
68th congresses and then retired
without seeking reelection to become
secretary to the president. Everett
Sanders during the 1924 campaign
did magnificent work as chairman of
the Republican National committees
speakers bureau located at Chicago.
1t is frankly admitted that what he
did and the skill with which he did it,
was a very considerable factor in the
election Of President Coolidge. Mr..
Sanders (and this is what the good
people Of the western country who
came in contact with him will dis
cover themselves) is so big that he
needs no official trappings to empha-
size his ability. As secretarv to the
president, a position which without
any doubt is one of the most trying
in the entire country, if not in the
world, where one is obliged to refuse
ten times to one when he can give
assent, he has been able to increase
his friendships from day to day. Mr..
Sanders is indeed worthy knowing.
Edward T. Clark, who ranks as con-
fidential secretary to the president,
is a genuine tenderfoot as far as
western experiences go, but has
rounded the herd in Washington fol
many years. Born in Massachusetts

whether with or without his consent deponent
saith not-by the Farm bureau and the county
fair commission.
Also that, likewise contrary to The Courier's
version, Mr. Bodley had never threatened to 'quit
right now" his job as county agent. Not a-taIl.
1t was the presidency of the fair board that he
intended to toss overheard if he didn't get the
money. He didn't care much for the presidency
anyhow it was lot Of work for which even $500
extra pay would be small compensation. We had
it all wrong, and Mr.. Stockton told us so with
emphasis. And he didn't even say goodbye when
he left.
We promised to print these two points, and it
is hereby done. Now we have some comment to
make.
We shall admit that possibly we were mistaken
when we said that Mr.. Bodley himself had
demanded extra pay But that was our impress
sion, and at least two members of the board of
county commissioners were similarly impressed
However, we all might have been misled. Fur
thermore, we understand the county agent has
declared he didn't, and that's enough.
But somebody must have started the ball roll
ing. 1t is hardly probable that this movement
suddenly sprang into being without a directing
head. Maybe, like the famous "Topsy," it "just
grew"
We are told, nevertheless, that something like
a dozen active boosters all at once began working
in Mr.. Bodley's behalf. The matter was not al
first presented officially to the board of county
commissioners, but to the members thereof in.
ldividually and at various times. The said boost
ers seemed much alarmed over the possibility
of Mr.. BOdley's quitting right now; they also
discussed, ugubriOusly and at length, the effects
of such blow, especially in connection with Al
club work and the like.
1t would thus appear that the commissioner
can be excused if they naturally assumed that Mr.
BOdley might 'quit right now" as county agent
And it was after they had allowed the $3.50 extr;
pay that the cat crawled from the bag It thel
developed that Mr.. Bodley and his friends hat
been referring to the presidency of the fair board
and not the county agents job. Well, so be il
AS we have said a number of times, there
no question but that Mr. Bodley is a capabl
county agent. What the public is now intereste
in is whether his services to the fair-and the
have value-are part of county agents regula
duties, or constitute volunteer effort for whic
he should receive substantial extra pay Every
one is entitled to his own opinion.

it had been a long time since he had favored US
with a call. From his manner we surrnised that

deduction was amply confirmed in about two
minutes
Mr.. Stockton was peeved He didn't like what
The Courier has said regarding extra pay for the
county agent. No. not a-tall. And he said so,
several times, very loudly. Didn't seem to give
a whoop who heard him. =
Furthermore he didn't admire the editor He
expressed the opinion that an editor is supposed
to have intelligence enough to "get the facts, -
and from the way he said it we could not help
but infer that we were being classed among the
poor worms who think they are editors but aren't.
But this didn't make much impression After
one has been around newspapers for 20 years he
has SO often been told he's dumbbelI that he
almost believes it himself.
But Mr. Stockton's pet peeve was that we had,
as he charged, distorted the facts" First we
didn't get em then we distorted 'em. That word
distorted" seemed to have peculiar fascination
for Mr.. Stockton. He used it number of times
Sounded as if he had been reading the Belgrade
Journal
The long and short of it is that Mr. Stockton
wanted-nay, demanded-that The Courier right

his contention upon these two points:

Washington, D. C.-There Is no
news but Lindbergh and it is just as
it should be. He left Washington
Monday and will be in New York or
St. Louis by the time this is printed.
These few words of eulogy will only
be a scant addition to the miles of
printed praise which have been dis
tributed through the newspapers.
Wholly apart from his achievement,
not in years have we had hero in
whom so many states can Justly claim
part. Born in Michigan, he was
reared in Minnesota, educated in
Wisconsin and Washington, got his
air training in Texas and began the
battle of life in Missouri. AS if this
distribution were not wide enough,
the plane he rode was built in Calf
ornia and each and every state from
Oregon - Florida contributed some
part of - making.
The finest thing about him which
appeals to the imagination Of all of
US is that the world has not been
/ able to spoil him. Before kings,
queens, princes, presidents, premiers
and ministers of war, he is always the
same and he has withal the ability
to discard the advice which even fool
ish well-wishers seek to lavish on
him. The finest example of this was
when on Saturday last, brushing a.
side those who were anxious to drape
him In a newlw made military cos
tune, he walked off the Memphis to
meet the president in a plain civilian
suit. 1t was on the lapel of this suit
a little dingv, little puckery, and
none too new, that the president
pinned the distinguished flying cross,
and there was not one in the vast
audience who witnessed the spectacle
but got on extra thrill because the
boy was attired as he was.
Washington, D. C.-While presi.
dent Coolidge properly and naturally
is the head and center of the delega
tion which has journeyed to the Blacl
Hills, there are personalities in the
party worthy of the attention ant
consideration of the good people il
that country. The first point o.
contact which those who desire tt
see the president will have to es
! tablish will be with Everett Sander
of Terry Haute, Indiana, the secre
tary to the president.
Everett Sanders, without any ques
tion, is one of the most likeable an,
: most effective secretaries which an,
? chief executive has ever had. Borl
near Coalmont, Ind, in 1882, the sol
of the Rev. James Sanders and Melis

he conducted his medical work. He
is president of the Yankee Division
club of Washington. and when a
hard boiled outfit of combat troops
not only accepts but selects a medical
officer fop it's commander, no adj
ditional words of praise are needed.
Col Blanton Winship, the presi-
dents military aide, is a recent ad-
ditiOn to the official family. He mas
succeeded Col. Cheney, who held this
post for some two wears, and who
resigned to return for service with
troops. Col. Winship is an officer
of high brilliant professional attain
ments, with a wonderful military re-
cord. The best compliment which
could be paid him is that he wears
a uniform because the regulations
provide it, not because he needs it.
Col. Startling, of the secret service,
who is charged with the protection
Of the president, is already known
to the people of the Black Hills. Col.
Startling is the man who was charg-
ed with inspecting the various sites
offered for the summer white house.
He was himself captivated by the
Black Hills, and arrived Some time
in advance Of the party to make the
final arrangements for the carrying
on of the nations business, Col.
! Startling has an extraordinary repu-
| tion for being able to hear everything
and say but little.
Just inside the door of the execu-
/ tive office at Rapid Citv. there will
be found short, plump little man
with quizzical laughing eyes and
manners suggestive of a. golden
mean between those which a diplo-
mate and an AL politician are sup
posed to possess. His business is
| to establish at first hand the purpose
of each and every caller and then to
assist in aiding the caller. He is
'Pat" McKenna, who for many years
has guarded the executive offices at
Washington. McKenna is credited
with being able to gain if anything
greater esteem in refusing entrance
than many others would achieve if
they drew the doors wide open and
invited all who came to enter.
Washington, D. Cone of the real
advantages of the agricultural agita-
tion Is that the country as a whole
has better understanding of cOndi-
tiOn than ever before. People in East
and the near West have always und-
: erstOod that agriculture was a basic
industry, but it is to be feared that
the phrase had no particular signi-
, ficance. They understood it was an
, accepted fact, but just now the auth
! critics had decided it was a basic
( industry was beyond their vision. To
! day genuine sincere and intelligent
expressions on the farm situation car
a be heard in all the eastern territory

because on the rare occasions she
had practiced behind locked doors

with dingy shops and f1ashily-

reread the finely written lines.
