HOUSE VOTES TO EXTEND IMMIGRATION MEASURE By a vote of 281 to 36, the house of representatives passed a resolution extending the present restrictive immigration law to June 30, 1923. The present law expires June 30th, next. This action of the house was in response to a demand from all parts of the United States and all classes of citizens for either the extension of the present act or the enactment of a law even more drastic that would be practically prohibitory of all immigration. The present law limits the number of immigrants from any one country during any one fiscal year to three percent of the nationals of that country who were in the United States when the census of 1920 was taken. The beneficial results of such restriction were disclosed on the floor of the house by Representative Johnson, of Washington, sponsor of the bill. Immigrants are arriving at the rate of only 1500 a week, whereas prior to the enactment of the present law the average number of immigrants in normal times was 15,000 a week. Under the first eight months operation of the law only 192,000 immigrants were admitted to the United States. At this rate the total number of immigrants for the fiscal year ending June 30th will be a little less than 300,000. During the year immediately prior to the enactment of this law 805,000 immigrants were admitted. It was brought out during the debate, and it is shown by the records of the department of labor and other governmental agencies, that opposition to the extension of the immigration act centers largely around alien-owned steamship lines. These steamship lines have a steerage capacity of 2,000,000 a year. The profit which they make from their steerage traffic is their greatest item of profit. Practically all of the violations of the It was brought out during the debate, and it is shown by the records of the department of labor and other governmental agencies, that opposition to the extension of the immigration act centers largely around alien-owned steamship lines. These steamship lines have a steerage capacity of 2,000,000 a year. The profit which they make from their steerage traffic is their greatest item of profit. Practically all of the violations of the immigration law, and nearly all of the individual hardships which were experienced as a result of that law, have been due to the foreign-owned steamship companies. They have resorted to every device, first, to violate the law, and then, to break it down and bring it into disrepute. Since it became evident that, in response to an overwhelming popular demand in the United States, there would be either an extension of the present law or the enactment of one even more drastic, foreign-owned steamship companies have been conducting a campaign to evade the law by carrying European emigrants to points in Cuba and Mexico. From these points it is comparatively easy to smuggle immigrants into the United States because of the small patrol which the United States has for the gulf coast and American border. A recent dispatch from Rotterdam says that hundreds of European undesirable, a majority of whom had previously attempted to enter the United States and been denied admission because of their radical ideas, are leaving Rotterdam for Cuba and Mexico on steamship lines owned by German and British interests. News dispatches from Europe state that German and British steamship lines are increasing their facilities to Cuban and Mexican ports and practically every vessel leaving Europe for those ports is filled with steerage passengers, who hope eventually to get into the United States by working their way across the border from Mexico, or by coming from Cuba in small vessels and landing at isolated and unguarded points on the gulf coast. United States government agencies are authority for the statement that there is an organized band of operatives in Cuba and Mexico who are making it their business to smuggle immigrants into the United States, finding that the traffic pays tremendous profits. It is said they collect from three sources—the foreign steamship lines, the immigrants themselves British editor suggested the following methods for application to our country: "To mobilize the press, the church, the stage and the cinema; press into active service the whole educational systems, and root the spirit of good will in the homes, the universities, public and high schools, and primary schools. It should also provide for subsidizing the best men to write books and articles on special subjects, to be published in cheap editions or distributed free. New books should be added particularly in the private schools. Histories and text books should be revisedtthe end in view being that the public (in the United States) may subconsciously absorb the fundamentals of a complete understanding." Powerful influences of that sort have had the desired effect. There is a well-defined movement in the United States to introduce text books, especially histories, into our schools that will give the rising generation an entirely new idea of the circumstances surrounding the birth of the republic. It is openly asserted by the authors of some present-day American histories that the stirring incidents of the revolution which we have been accustomed to read would better be omitted, and the whole story of that period has been so changed as to be hardly recognizable. Fortunately school officials are awaking to the dangers that threaten, and are taking measures to expunge such books from their curriculums. S. P. TO ADOPT NEW BILLS OF LADING FORMS Standard uniform bills of lading and uniform livestock transportation contracts will be adopted on Southern Pacific lines March 15, according to G. W. Luce, freight traffic manager. Under the new system domestic bills of lading covering order shipments will be printed on yellow paper, while shipping order and memorandum will be printed on blue paper. Bills of lading, acknowledgment and shipping order covering straight shipments will be printed on white paper. Export bills of lading will be printed on the tariff supplement soon to be issued. Shippers having a supply of the old bills of lading forms may use them until July 1, provided they are legibly stamped stating that the shipment is tendered and received subject to the conditions of the new standard bills of lading. Advance copies of the new forms will soon be available at all United States government agencies are authority for the statement that there is an organized band of operatives in Cuba and Mexico who are making it their business to smuggle immigrants into the United States, finding that the traffic pays tremendous profits. It is said they collect from three sources—the foreign steamship lines, the immigrants themselves and persons in this country, generally relatives of the immigrants, who are desirous of evading the immigration laws. AMERICAN BOOKS FOR AMERICAN SCHOOLS Those who would contribute to the friendly feeling between the United States and Great Britain do their cause no good when they attempt to belittle the exploits of our revolutionary heroes, seek to minimize that struggle and the war of 1832 in the public mind, or hold out hopes that this country will be reunited to Great Britain. The American people are grateful for what the British did in the world war, and there is every reason why the close associations of that period should develop into mutual understandings in the future for the good of the two nations and of the world. But the realization of that desire is not dependent in any way upon the rewriting of the earl history of the United States or upon the silencing of the brilliant stories of American achievement with which that period is replete. Unfortunately there have been and are certain influences at work in England that seek to make public opinion in this country receptive to the sug- ING, acknowledgment and shipping order covering straight shipments will be printed on white paper. Export bills of lading will be printed on the tariff supplement soon to be issued. Shippers having a supply of the old bills of lading forms may use them until July 1, provided they are legibly stamped stating that the shipment is tendered and received subject to the conditions of the new standard bills of lading. Advance copies of the new forms will soon be available at all regular freight agencies as well as general and district freight offices of the Southern Pacific company. The new system will become effective March 15 on all railroads under the jurisdiction of the Iowa state commerce commission. JORDAN ON PROHIBITION Secretary of State Jordan took his pen in hand Saturday and expressed his opinion of the national and state prohibition laws. He talks right out in meeting, and wants his remarks passed along, so that all the people of California may know how he stands. "I will not be a hypocrite," wrote Mr. Jordan. "I am not afraid to take a stand and act and express myself as my conscience dictates. I believe in temperance—not in prohibition; in regulation—not in suppression." Mr. Jordan, who recently indorsed for re-election Gov. Stephens, ostensibly a 100 per cent dry candidate, presents his views on the prohibition situation as follows: "The Volstead act has now been in force for over two years. What has resulted? Today, because the profits of illicit trade are so great, there are thousands of places where liquor of some kind can be obtained, where, before the enactment of the law, there Based on these figures, Californians in the United States vehicles being by the leader in with a total of January 1.

In thousands of homes can be found intoxicating beverages, where, before the enactment, none was kept. The law is disregarded by all classes of people. "Behind closed doors, in secret places, away from public observation, men and women, old and young or both sexes, many who never before indulged, are transgressing. "The vilest concoctions are being sold everywhere. Conscienceless men are amassing fortunes and the public health is imperiled. "Something must be done. The people of our state and of the nation must realize the situation. There is only one way out. There is only one way by which the great army of bootleggers and law-breakers will be forced to discontinue their illegal traffic. "Give the people wholesome beer and good wines. The instant their use is permitted there will cease to be a demand for the concoctions now being so generally used. "I make this statement not for the approval of the men and women of California who opposed prohibition, but for the God-fearing, law-abiding, humanity-loving people of our great state who labored conscientiously for the amendment; asking, begging them to give it thoughtful, prayerful consideration to the end that conditions may be speedily remedied." FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD REPORT During the past month improvement of conditions in several basic industries has furnished a more hopeful prospect for the trade of the coming months. This better outlook has in some measure been offset by labor and other difficulties in the textile industries which have resulted in reduced activity in that branch of business. Fluctuations in the price of raw During the past month improvement of conditions in several basic industries has furnished a more hopeful prospect for the trade of the coming months. This better outlook has in some measure been offset by labor and other difficulties in the textile industries which have resulted in reduced activity in that branch of business. Fluctuations in the price of raw materials have subjected the textile trade to still further difficulty, while in that, as well as in others, the lack of forward orders has made it difficult to plan policies far in advance. In iron and steel, varying opinions exist as to the situation and outlook. It is to be noted, however, that there has been distinct increase in the activity of the plants of the United States Steel corporation, as well as some increase in the activity of independent mills. The net outcome of these changes has been to diminish the irregularity and unevenness noted in the movement of industry during 1921; textiles and allied lines which have been far in advance of others, are losing their relative momentum. The evening tendency thus evident by current readjustments is reflected in the fact that the board's price index remains unchanged at 138. Wholesale and retail trade indexes are disposed to show recession of buying in most parts of the country save for seasonal activity in special lines such as dry goods. The volume of employment (another important factor in influencing demand for goods) shows but little modification. As compared with last year the volume of building is very much larger. January permits being more than double what they were a year ago. Financially the month has shown continued reduction in the volume of credit required by the community. Foreign exchange has shown a decidedly stronger tendency, the highest levels for a long time past having been reached in sterling, francs and some other European currencies. Business failures are on a materially higher level than in 1921 while the month of February, as previously predicted by commercial agencies, also shows an increase in commercial failures as contrasted with January.

THEY FOOL THE HIPPO They play a real mean trick on the hippopotamus, getting her to open her mouth for a tid-bit, when there is no tid-bit. However, Lotus, for that's her name, is always willing to take a chance, and, when any of the trainers with the Al G. Barne's circus, coming to Anaheim, Wednesday, March 15th, makes the gesture of tossing her a carrot. Lotus, largest hippo on earth and the only performing one, opens her mouth willingly. She generally wins at that. Lotus, the largest hippo, and Tusko, the largest elephant on earth, a foot taller than Jumbo, are features of the big show this year. As such, they do very well well in the matter of food and lodging. Lotus will be seen in the gorgeously new street parade which has this year. Anaheim Na WILLIAM A DOLAN, President. J. W.
