IMMIGRAT Imports Show Greater Increase Than Expected 8 Per Cent Ilc " strictiv0 Immigration Cluuso Makes Difference Washington, Juno 27, (Special correspondence) In predicting ear ly in tho fiscal year now drawing to a close Imports aggregating $2,500, 000,000 In value for tho year, tho Republican Publicity association was not amiss. Tho total for tho 11 months ended May 31 was $2,349, 000,000, and with about $300,000, 000 worth of imports expected this month tho total will bo but 6 por cent greator .than that anticipated. In July of last year imports were at low obb, touching $178,000,000. In May last thejj reached, $254,000, 000 or at tho rate or about $3,000, 000,000 annually. During that en tiro porlod tho so-called emergency tariff law was in efiect, so it Is ovl dont that our foreign competitors did a farlly good business despite the restrictions which that law raised. It would not do qurprising If, when tho ponding tariff bill be comes a law, tho total for tho on suing year would bo closo to $2,500, 000,000, or somothlng like 40 por cent greator than tho pro-war rate under the protective prlco. And with an, American dollar represent ing considerably moro in quantity of purchases than it did boforo the war whon European oxchange was at par, this will moan a largo In crcaso in bulk of goods imported. This, aftor all, Is the main thing thing to consider sinco it is the goods themselves which displace American goods on our counters and reduce tho output and consequent labor of our mills and farms and mines. Whatover tho publicity In which tho importers' combination engage; whatover philanthropy for Europe and tho Orient, and uncharltable- ness for ourselves tho free trade doctlonalres may display, the fact Is assured that oven with, tho Fordney- McCuinber tariff In operation our competitors will find a fair market for their wares under tho rates of the bill. That Is all that should be asked of us and as much as we should permit. Immigrant FlctclicrizlnR Under tho 3 por cent restrictive clause in the Dillingham Immigra tion law, 357,903 Immigrants may have passes Into the United States during the onsulng year. The num ber of allons admissible from tho principle foreign countries Include 7451 Austrlans, 15G3 Belgians, 14 357 Czocho-Slovaklans, 67,607 Ger mans, 42,057 Italians, 12,202 Nor wegians, 21,0'76 Poles, 7419 Ru manians, 21,613 Russians, 20,042 Swedes, 77,342 from tho United Kingdom, 2388 ( Levantines, 3294 Greeks, 5638 Hungarians and 5619 Danes. It is not probable that had the Dillingham bill not been passed, as It was last year extended this year wo would sco as many as two mil lion foreigners pouring Into this country yearly.

They were on the winner's car for the third successive year and on eight of the ten finishing in the money, upholding the confidence success--ful race drivers have in the trustworthiness and ability of these tires to meet the greatest demands of speed, endur ance and safety. Their records in every other important race havel)een equally as good. Consider this achievement along with another test of Oldfield quality made at Wichita, Kansas, this past winter and early spring. 34,525 miles on rutted, ley Kansas roads, running day and night on a Studebaker stock car without a single tire change. This test was made by a group of Wichita auto motive dealers in a tire, oil and gasoline economy run Mayor Kemp of Wichita was official observer and made affidavit to the mileage and service given by Oldfleld tires. You may never subject your tires to the gruelling experience of Indianapolis nor the steady grind of bad winter roads, but it is good to know you can get such safety and mileage economy by buying Oldfield tires.
