NEW YORK, March SIN its
weekly summary of the general busi-
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co., of New York currently comments
as follows:
"One of the most encouraging de-
velopments in the current business
picture is the evidence that the long
delayed upturn in railroad equipment
purchases is slowly getting under way.
During the first seven weeks of 1886,
orders for 60 locomotives and 6,13l
freight cars were placed, compared
with orders of only five locomotives
and $50 freight cars in the first two
months of 1885.
"A substantial volume of additional
orders is expected to develop within
the next several weeks, and prospects
are that the railroad equipment in
dustry will contribute more to activity
in the heavier lines over the next few
months than at any other time since
the depression set in"

COAST SUGAR FIRMS PLAN TRACT
IN VALLEY; MAY SET UP FACTORY

10000, the sugar companies would
erect a factory in Imperial Valley.
Sugar company officials have stated
to the chamber of commerce staff
that the anticipated yield in Imper-
ial Valley would be 20 tons of 10
per cent sugar per acre. Based on
last years price of about Sc per
ton, this would bring a yield of
about $f20 per acre. The 1895 re
ports show that the production in
Los Angeles county was at the rate
of SIT per acre, and in Orange
county, $63 per acre with Santa
Barbara county showing a return
of about $50 per acre. The yield
per acre in these counties is much
lower than the yield expected from
Imperial Valley.
The Ell Centro chamber of com
merce is continuing its efforts to
induce the sugar companies to give
contracts for commercial size plant
ing this fall with the hope of get
ting the sugar beet industry started

Breaking Up 26OO Families If
Madame Perkins O6eyS The LaW .
Senator To Blame

WASHINGTON-m a spectacle probably
unparalleled in American history. the Depart
rnent of Labor will soon break up than
$500 presumably happy families and start bud
ding some members off tC fereign lands while
many of those allowed TO remain go relief.
That is to say, Secretary Frances Perkins
and her immigration officials will do that if
they decide to obey the law promptly
Senator Bob Reynolds of North Carolina
is entitled to full credit for this peculiar state
of affairs. In fact. he welcomes it.
1t was his filibusters and objections to the
Kerr Coolidge alien deportation bill which kill
ed that measure in the last session.
The bill would have made possible the de-
portation of 10000 criminal aliens in the coun-
try and at the same time have given the depart
rnentS of Labor State, and Justice discretionary
power to halt deportation Of 1852 aliens of good
character who entered the country illegally years
ago and whose deportation now would work
hardship on Others including many American
citizens
Ninety eight per cent Of the 1862 cases
which have been stayed involve cruel family sep
arations'' immigration Commissioner Daniel w
MacCormack wrote to Congress, the punish
ment of innocent American citizens, and the
imposition on our states and communities OF
the burden Of caring for a new group Of de-
pendents."
But at the sessions end, when Senator
Schwellenbach Of Washington tried to persuade
Reynolds to consent to a measure which would
make possible the deportation of the 10000
alien criminals and merely carry a resolution
permitting the Labor Department to delay de-
portation Of the 1862 until Congress met again.
Reynolds still stood in the way by blocking
unanimous consent agreement. He discussed
the case Of one alien whose foreign name he
found so funny that he rolled it around his
tongue for other senators to laugh at
That left 12-year-old Fahis Abdul Nour-
to use one eXample-WCndering quite properly
what would happen next His widowed mother
took him from Syria to Mexico years ago When
she became seriously i'll his uncle took him,
illegally to stay with relatives in Iowa.
His mother has since entered the country
legally remarked, and made home for him.
But Fahis Abdul Nour is depOrtable under the
law.
Petitions are being sent to the Labor Depart
rnent urging further delay in deportation. Sec
retary Perkins and MacCCrmack are sympathe
tic having made a long fight for the 1862 de-
portables after exhaustive investigation as to
character and other circumstances in each case.
The immigration law demands arrest and
deportation. The only possible out" is in the
fact that the law doesn't say exactly when such
persons should be apprehended.
Heretofore the practice has been TO proceed
against deportables forthwith, but Congrss has
twice specifically given this particular group
stay. The second stay has expired. The admin
istration must decide whether it wants to permit
a still further stay now that Congress. thanks
to Senator Reynolds, has failed to approve it.

THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD
ELIMINATE EXTREMISTS
FROM THEIR RANKS

Many otherwise good Democrats are
withholding their whole-hearted party
support because of the knowledge that
here and there throughout the admins
t9ation fabric, are certain individuals
Of questionable caliber. Though con-
vinced that the administration is not be-
ing undermined in any way by eXtrem-
lists. the presence Of these individuals
bother many who believe in being liberal
but are 100 percent enemies Of anything
pink, or with a leftist stamp.
There are many names which could
be quoted. At the top of the list is Rex
ford Tugwell, assistant secretary of
agriculture. Tugwell is a bit over the
line in most peoples minds. At var
ious times, he lapses into silent back
ground, only to come blurting forward
occasionally with some outlandish asSer-
ton or effort which doesn't sit we'll
with anyone. And there are Others one
of whom is labor lawyer once well
known hereabouts. He was placed in a
branch governmental position. Possibly
the government felt that this was the
best way to wrap him up and put him
away but Democrats don't like his pres
ence, or the presence Of others like him.
1t would appear wisest for the ad-
ministration to clip these knots from
their administrative fabric, so that the
political issues can be considered on
their merits without the necessity of
suspicion or personalities.
