THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER-' 9. 1019. GROWERS FOR LAW TO OAR JAPANESE Hood River Orchardist Says Bill Will Bs Presented. ALIENS HELD MENACE Control or Apple District Will Soon Pass to Asiatics Unless Sonic thing Is Done, Is View. SALEM, Or.. Nov. S. (Special.) That the anti-Asiatic association of Hood Rivei valley is already making its plans to po before the next ses sion of the lepislat'ure and ask for the passage of laws which will for ever bar Japanese from purchasing or leasing lands in Oregon, was th statement of John H. Kdgar, a. promi nent orchardist of the liood River vi cinity, who passed today in Salem, visiting with W. A. lalziel, deputy tate sealer of weights and measures, and other officials. "The Japanese question has become eerious in our section of the state," Bald Mr. Kdgar. "and unless some thing is done within the next year or two to stem the tide of immigration into Hood River valley the people of that section will be compelled to seek industry elsewhere. "Starting with a few men of unusual thrift the Japanese colony in Hood Kiver valley has grown by leaps and bounds and today these orientals con trol more than 1S0U acres of the most valuable orchard lands in that part of the etate. In addition to the land already owned by them they are al 1 most daily leasing large tracts with the option of purchasing them at the end of a specified time." In reciting an instance of Japanese thrift, Mr. Edgar said: "Not long ago two of these men arrived in Hood River valley and purchased a. small tract in the very heart of the orchard district. They put up a small and in , expensive ehack and went to work. They prospered from the first and within a few months had saved suffi cient money to tend to Japan for a couple of picture-brides. These women arrived in due, time and immediately thereafter went to work in the fields beside their husbands. Then camctwo children who, although only tots, have been made to see the benefit of thrift and can be counted upon as emer trency labor. "These Japanese now, instead of having a few acres of land and shack, have acquired a valuable orchard tract of nearly 100 acres, have modern houses and barns and are well sup plied with money. "It is also characteristic of the Japanese to purchase practically all of their supplies from Japan, and con sequently the American merchant benefits little from their operations. They spend practically no money, save what they pay in taxes and for the other few essentials necessary in their living." Offsetting the anti-Asiatic associa tion, which includes practically all of the white orchardists- in Hood River valley, the Japanese are fast organiz ing and apparently are getting all the land possible while the getting is good. "They seem to have plenty of available capital," said Mr. Edgar, "and within the last few weeks have added materially to their holdings." APATHY TO 31 EX ACE RAPPED Growers Call Attention to Lack ol Energy in Figlit on Japs. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) While some individuals of Hood River have expressed a disap proval of steps taken by members of an organization of orchardists who have pledged themselves against fur ther sale or leasing of -real estate to Japanese, others declare action o far taken not drastic enough. "This matter is not being handled with the spirit and push it deserves," declares W. R. Gibson, Odell fruit grower and nurseryman, in a letter to R. E. Scott, secretary of the Anti Asiatic league. "It is a real danger, a real menace to the white population of the Hood River valley." of the guests throughout the week end. Interest in the week-end centers in the game with O. A. C.

I T SHOWS TAX LOSS CITY KEVKMES FALL OFF HEAVILY SIXCE 1910. Item of Liquor Licenses Greatest Part or Deficiency Interest on Deposits Also Decreases. One Of the big outstanding renfinn.a for the present financial stress of the -ii.y is snown in a chart prepared at the city hall from official figures showing how revenue from licenses, engineering costs and other sources outside of taxation has decreased. The chart includes the years 1910, 1911, 1912. 1913, 1914 and 1918. Figures for 1919 are not available yet, but it is estimated that the amount will be virtually the same as that for 1918. The losses have been from - five principal sources, the largest of which is liquor licenses, which were discon tinued with the adoption of prohibi tion. In 1911 the city received ?678. 800 froni this source, while since 1915 it has received nothing. Interest on deposits has dropped from $34,061 in 1910 to $6173- in 1918. In 1911, 1912 and 1913 the city re ceived large sums from assessing en gineering costs on street and sewer improvements. This source of revenue has been lost by reason of a vote of tne people requiring the city to pay these costs instead of charging them against the property benefited. In 1910 the city received $16,244 as premiums on bonds. In 1911 it re ceived $93,000 from this source, while In 1918 it received $750. This is due to the fact that bonds have not been sold, but have been taken over by the city and invested in sinking funds of the city. All .loss of revenue from these sources must be made up by taxation. The city Was able to keep up under these losses .by increasing the tax levy until the present time, when the limit of taxation has been reached and the city Is in the throes of the high price era which has made the tax levy that may. be imposed too small .to meet the requirements for continuing the service now being given.
