N I C H O L GOMES TO DEFENSE OF JAPANESE LABOR Kdttor of the New: In that two minute perch of A. I M niton brfore the IVople'a Foruin on t tit lulior problem In the Hood Itlver Valley every point wan well taken ml In worthy of the attention of the Foruin for one whole evening or mv mil evening after It flnlHhea the work It Iiiih In band. Mr. Muhoii in an advanced thinker In the front rank a of the progreMHlve movement In the present tranxltlou mate, while we are moving onto a higher plane Into the new thought and action, socially, politically and reltglotmly. Thin In why he In often tliuen crltlclHed an leliig petutiintxtlc am) vlttlonary, or an an agitator, by those people who cling to the tradi tions of the pant, and precedent, and allow somebody elxe to do their thinking, or are carelcHely Indifferent and trust to fate. It in a eelf-evldent proposition to every pemou w ho has given the mat ter any thought, that there In some thing wrong with our prenent eco nomic and social system, the present methods of production, dlMtrlttutlon and exchange, I. e.. the power and ability to accumulate has leen and Is now encroaching on the producer anddlstrlbutor to such an extent as to crowd the producer Into cheaper quartern, which causes dangerous congestion, decreasing the rural and Ipcreaslng the urban population, cre ating aud overcrowding tenement or slum sections. This condition Is not the result of natural causes or In olcdlence to the law of social science, but Is the result of a false or defective system of dis tribution, transportation, exchange, land tenure, and unjust or unequal system of collecting revenue, or, In other words. Indirect and double taxation. White Labor Unreliable The fact that the white or nallve labor usually offered In the Pacific states Is unreliable and migratory 1 another evidence of our economic and social system being out of Joint, which will be apparent to even a casual observer who may pass through this valley and see the men hunting work carrying their blank ets or beds on their back, aud when they come up with a Job they are against another problem of where to feed aud have to go to the loft uf a cow barn or seek a spot leneath the hospitable branches of a scrubby pine or flr free to spread out their tteds; nothing permanent, everything transient. This Is a problem which the twen tieth century civilization Is up against for solution. That the Japanese people are here Is a fact that we cannot get away from and everyone Is willing to ad mit that It Is not an unmixed bless ing, but to discriminate against them Is a violation of the modern doctrine of the brotherhood of man aud the fatherhood of (lod. Japanese Are Industrious As a rule dhe Japanese are Indus trious, peaceable and personally of clean habits, and, In fact, more de sirable citizens than those being shipped Into the eastern states In ship loads and distributed among public utility, transportation and manufacturing corporations In com petition with native white labor, which cannot live by foraging among lop and garbage cans and as a last resort or remedy have to move on aud become restless, shiftless and un reliable. This may lie one of the causes of complaint already men tioned. For every dollar that the Japanese send out of this country they are supposed to have earned that amount by labor or service and also to have added value to raw ma terial, for which the money they re ceive Is their own and with which they have a right to do n they please. From every standpoint they are a letter class and more desirable peo ple than the Jnegroes of the Atlantic and Uulf states, who did not come here of their own accord or free will, but are here and a menace to our civilization and a terror to the peo- pie among whom they live, as Is evi dent from the frequent and increas ing number of outrages and lynch Ings reported In the current dally newspapers. The conditions Mr. Mason com plains of as existing at Wntsonvtlle are, It Is true, alarming and should attract the attention of thinking and progressive people, but they are no exception to the rule existing In Texas, Illinois and the cotton states of the Atlautlc and Gulf and the grain-growing states of the Missis sippi Valley and Middle West. These conditions are the result of not ob serving fundamental or primary laws relating to land tenure and le galizing the keeping or holdli g of land out of use for profit by non res idents and spectilntors. This Is the greatest reason of driving people from the rural to the urban com muultles, congesting population and Increasing the price of house rent and the cost of living, which can tie remedied only by a system of direct taxation of laud values. Incomes and Inheritance, and squeezing the water or Imaginary values out of the stocks of transportation, manufacturing and public utility corporations. These questions are up to tbe pre ent generation, or near future, for solution, and will have to be settled by tbe common people, such as Mr. Mason and the people who compose the memlterslrip of the People's Fornm. Thus all other great reform prob lems have been solved In the past by commou people engaged Its the ordi nary pursuits of life. The "higher ups," who live off Interest, rent and profit, In addition to being antago nistic to those engaged In productive and distributive pursuits, do not have time nor Inclination. They are what Alexander Hamilton desig nated "the rich and well born" whose Interests should be protected by tbe upper bouses la legislatures. viz: the House of Lords and senates, national and state.

C. Sampson, secretary, vice president and mana ger of the show, was Interviewing the Corumerelal Club and fruitgrow ers here the last of the week. The matter wus laid before the board of directors of the Commercial Club and they will probably bring It belorethe members at the meeting to be held next Monday. Mr. Samp son said: "Our apple competitions range from the carload lot of 030 bushels down to a single apple, with prizes for commercial, fancy and unique displays. All of our coutests are wide open to the world. Our Judges are meu of International reputation who score carefully and closely on color, flavor, condition and pack. The exhibitors are those who are most scientific and most progressive and use the lrst methods In cultiva tion, pruning, spraying and packing. The United States Government Po mologlcal Department, recognizing tbe value of this exhibition, has asked for the privilege of sending an expert Judge from Washington, D. P. 'The dally papers of Spokane, hundreds of papers In the surround ing country, the fruit and farm pub lications throughout tbe entire Na tion will give wide publicity to our prizes and exhibits. MaDy thou sands of people within 500 miles of Spokane, and greater distances, will view the exhibits and prizes. "The Apple Show is lasger than the city of Spokane and larger than any individual county, fruit district or state. To make It the success It can and will be In I :t 11' and future years, tbe foundation of this perma nent exhibition must be carefully laid and tbe board of governors, as well as tbe officers and trustees, desire tbe best Judgment of the best men In the entire Pacific Northwest for tbe Show of 1912. 'Within a year or two the prob lem of the unprecedented production of apples must be met. The apple crop must be fiuanced as readily and as thoroughly as Is tbe wheat crop today Tbe selling and distributing side must be developed aud the pres ent waste In by-products must be changed to profit. Lower freight rates must be secured. 'Great stress will be laid upon tbe financing, distribution, transporta tion and by products. Co-operation In a larger scale Is the keynote of success everywhere and In all busi ness undertakings. The educational side of the exhibit will be emphasized as never before. "Iu the 1912 Show we are trying to secure tbe hearty co-operatron of growers, shippers, traffic men, rail way presidents, bankers of the fruit growing sections, the clearing house association of Spokane, that all views of these questions may Ik? thoroughly presented and discussed In order that the apple Industry may greatly benefit thereby. "But the thing that will be of the largest interest Is the fact that the Fifth National Apple Show will be a great school of Information, with the best teachers, scientists and growers of the entire Northwest present with their knowledge, skill and experience to be of service to the apple growers." Regular Sunday excursion to Park dale. Pleasant trip for yourself and friends.
