Chinese into this country, and later
took a similar stand against Japa-
nese immigration. Since 1889 the

in favor of restricted immigrated

Changers Are Known By Their Cars
Motorists are noticing of late
something new" on the road, in the
form of an attractive metal emblem
suddenly appearing on the front of
many radiators, which excites curl
osity and leads to inquiry what 1t
represents. 1t shows a beautiful
sheaf of wheat, with an attached
sickle and the mystical letters, p of
H. Below is the word Grange"
which helps to solve the mystery.
1t is estimated that 100000
Grange-owned cars are travelling the
highways of the nation, and upon
thousands of them in the past 60
days the new emblem has suddenly
appeared. 1t is officially approved
by the National Grange and it is
confidently expected that within a
year about every Grange-owned car
in the United States will be carry
ing one of the emblems.
Big Salaries Must Come Down
The new co-ordinator of railroad
transportation, Joseph B. Eastman,
a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, expresses the
opinion that the salaries of the more
highly-paid railroad officials should
be reduced.
The average citizens can see no
propriety in making government
loans to tide a railroad through a
period of hard times and low earn
ings, when its president is receiving
a salary of 100000 or more per
year, with others in executive po-
sitions getting proportional stipends.
Effect On Farmers May Be Disas-
trOus
While the National Industrial Re
covery Act is not supposed to apply
directly to agriculture, numerous
instances are developing in connec-
tion with the formulation of various
industrial codes, which have vital
bearing upon the welfare of agri-
culture. For example, when the pro-
posed code of the. petroleum indus
try was presented, it was at once
manifest that if adopted as written,
it would threaten the right of farm
ers' cooperative associations deal
ing in petroleum products to pay |
patronage dividends to their mem |
bers.
The peach growers and the can
ners furnish another case in point. |
At a hearing held before Secretary /
Of Agriculture Wallace on July 81, |
California peach growers contended
that under the code submitted the
Gamers of that state would be well
protected and their profits guaran-
.eed, while the growers, under con-
.ract to furnish. No. 1 cling peaches
'or 500 per ton, would receive less
han the cost of production.
The code proposed by the Cali
ornia Gamers states that it is the
Intention and purpose of this agree
nent or plan to prevent waste, by
'egulating the amount or quantity
If cling peaches to be canned in
California during the year 1888, by
27 per cent of the esti-
mated crop. The total ALLEGATION
o all Gamers in the state is placed
" the code at 9,5O0,00O cases of
reaches.
The estimated yearly production
f cling peaches in California is
round 365,O00 tons, which is far in
xcess of the program laid down by
he canhers. Under the proposed
arrangement it is apparent, there !
ore,S that any losses or sacrifices
ecessary to make this arbitrary
Ian effective would fall upon the
roducers and not the Gamers.
In these and similar cases, the g
Iational Grange has exerted its in {
uence to protect the interests of
griculture and to promote fair play
