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

in the game with O. A. C. Saturday,
which will be the first game to be

best stunt.
All the alumni and students wear '
tags throughout homecoming week
giving their names and home ad- I
dresses so that formal introductions
will be unnecessary, following the i
true University of Oregon spirit. 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.

Let the Spirit of Holiday Giving
Minister FIRST to Success of HOME!
Make This the Best Christmas You've Ever Known!
The Festival of Christmastide is more than just a "holiday" !
It is the expression of a beautiful ideal. It is the manifestation of
the generous desires and impulses that live in our hearts the whole
year through, but which sometimes seem hidden behind a mask of
reserve or smothered in a mass of pressing, prosaic duties.
Christmas gives you an opportunity to accomplish something con
structive along the lines where your happiness and your ambitions
lie an opportunity to give that precious gift the appreciation and
enjoyment of home to your friends, your family, and your own self.
It's all a simple matter of buying Christmas gifts that have a place
in the home and will mean something real in
the lives of those receiving them.
Please come in to JENNING'S the next time you
are down town and see the alluring new arrivals in
beautiful furniture that are attracting crowds to
JENNING'S every day.
