Vioption of the bill would mean.
-*■ lramers say. literal fulfillment of
fhe so-called "gentlemen's agree
ment" between the United States and
ipan with respect to immigration
-nd would keep out Japanese coolies.

THURSDAY EVENING,
Under the Koot-Tokihata agree- 1
ment, Japan is obliged to send no |
coolies to this country, but it
charged the records disclose that j
they arrive by the thousands, with j
passports as merchants, students, j
and the like. Once here it is alleged, t
they remain, send for "picture (
brides," raise families and their
children become citizens of the I
United States by right of birth.
Representative Albert Johnson, of
Hoquiam, Wash., chairman of the i
House Immigration Committee, sajs
the requirement that aliens landing
at American ports must have pass
ports with a time limit will break
up the great inflow of foreigners.
The bill provides that aliens coming
within exemption clauses of the
present law must obtain passports
from their own Governments, vised
by consular agents of the United
States, and limited as to time.
But the bill does not stop there.
Aliens, who under present laws are
eligible to citizenship, would be per
mitted to eoine to the United States
without passports providing they
state in writing their belief that they
intend to reside here and become
citizens. They must agree to regis
ter at least once a year, failure to
do so being a cause for deportation.
Failure to take out first papers at
the end of two years' residence, also
is cause for deportation.
After taking out papers, aliens
must remain here five years for final
citizenship, with a time allowance
off for knowledge of the elements

of the Amerioan plan of Government
and proficiency In the English lan
guage. If an alien does not acqutre
citizenship In eight years he is sent
home.
May Visit Here by Card
The committee hopes to provide
a plan by which citizens of con
tiguous territory, Canada and Mex
ico, may visit the United States on
cards issued annually.
Chairman Johnson is trying to
have Congress send a special com
mittee corn prising Eastern and
Middle West members to the Pacific
coast to study the Japanese situa
tion. "We want the East to study
It,' he said.
"Immigrants now come to the
United States freely and are required
to pass mental and physical tests,"
Chairman Johnson said, explaining
his bill. "Many classes, such as
lawyers, teachers, students, mer
chants and actors, are exempted
from these tests. These are the
classes that It Is proposed to have
come with limited passports. That
Is to say, tltey are to come as vis
itors, and not as prospective citizens.
If one comes as a prospective citizen
he must so state, and agree In writ
ing to place himself under probation,
reporting at stated Intervals. That
Is all there Is to it. Visitors are
welcome. We have room for desir
able Immigrants, but must have a
guarantee as to their continued de
sirability and their willingness to
acquire not only American citizen
ship but all that the word Ameri
canism Implies."
Members of the committee say it
is not likely a bill suspending immi
gration for any stated period could
pass Congress now. A year ago it
could have passed, they add. There
is a demand, according to members,
for a provision in the new bill for
deportation of aliens who withdraw
their first papers in order to avoid
service with the armed forces of the
United States.

CONTROL OF RAILS
Big Factor in Raising Living
Costs, He Declares in Con
ference of Governors
Salt Imkr, Utah, Aug. 21.—At the
governors' conference yesterday,
Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania,
declared that Federal rail control
was contributing to the high cost of
living. Governor Sproul scored the
Plumb plan by which it is proposed
by the workers that the railroads
be governed by a committee of fif
teen, five members to represent the
general public and ten members
AUGUST 21, 1919.
to represent the employed, as un
fair. The Warfield plan, by which
the railroads ure to collect six per
cent, on their investment, any sur
plus to be divided equally between
the public, the workers and the
earning railroad, he characterized
as a makeshift.
"The Plumb plan is the most So
cialistic doctrine that has been ex
pounded in the country," Governor
Sproul declared. "The government
might just as well turn the Post
Office Department over to the work
ers us to turn the railroads over to
them. There Is Just as much rea
son for the one as for the other.
"The Warfield plan Is merely a
makeshift, and does not cover the
situation. It is unwise to place any
arbitrary limitation upon the earn
ing capacity of any corporation or
individual. Railroads, like private
individual, like to save a little for
a fainy day."
Governor Sproul stated that he
3
had been given some new ideas
while in Salt Lake with regard to
the fight being waged by other states
against the high cost of living.
' While X believe that Pennsylva
nia has done as much as possible in
this regard, I have gained some,
ideas which worked out, will make
the co-operation between the states
and the Federal government more
effective."
