' Chairman of Immigration Com- mittee In House Says Further Restrictions Necessary. : THE OREGONTAN BUREAU, Washington, D. C, June 10. The 3 per cent immigration law was passed just Jn time to prevent the United States becoming the alms house of the world, declared Rep resentative Johnson of Washington in a statement given out today. Speaking as chairman o the house immigration committee, Mr. Johnson declared that in his opinion this country never will go back to any scheme which will "welcome' the uncounted millions of the four corners of the world." He would change the law, however, he said, fixing certain base quotas of 600 or soma such number to relieve the situation as to several countries "whose quotas are small, but he would not admit aliens ineligible to citizenship, which would means a continued bar to Chinese and Japanese. , Act Comes In Nick of Time. "In my opinion the act limiting immigration to 355,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, came in the nick of time," said Representa tive Johnson; "it has saved the United States in that year from an Influx of fully 1,500,000 immigrants at a time when we could neither assimilate nor employ them. Under the quota restriction, 230,537 were admitted to May 81, while about '2787 were admitted temporarily for reasons of humanity and because of difficulties in getting the new law into operation, while 1446 were turned back because ot exhausted quotas. Debarred for all causes in 11 months were 11,066, which I believe is the record, and which is still not enough. Too many diseased, demented and defective are being admitted. Amendment Believed Justified. "The law has been extended and during the coming year will be rigidly enforced. I believe con gress would be justified in amend ing the law so as to give all coun tries a base quota of about 600, and in addition thereto not to exceed 2 per cent of tha number of aliens in the United States as shown by the census of 1919. That would lessen the difficulties arising from very small quotas now given to certain countries, and would lessen the large quotas awarded to other countries.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. In se lecting W., Harry Baker of Harris burg chairman by an overwhelming majority, the regular republican or ganization today won a sweeping victory over the forces of Giflord Pinchot,"candidate for governor, at the reorganization meeting of the republican state committee. The fight over the chairmanship was the only contest that developed and Mr. Baker, who Was indorsed by Senator George Wharton Pepper and Major David A Reid of Pitts burg, defeated Brigadier - General Asher Minor of Wilkesbarre, backed by Mr. Pinchot, by a vote of 81 to 32. All other officers of the committee and Senator Pepper, who was chosen to represent Pennsylvania in the re publican national committee to suc ceed Senator Boies Penrose, were elected by acclamation. Admitting that the republican party in the state was divided into two factions, all the speakers made a plea for unity, declaring that to be the only way to defeat the democrats at the November election. "I want such a victory," declared Pinchot, "as will electrify this good old republican state and make it clear1 to the rest of the nation that Pennsylvania is solid republican HEATING PLANT BEGUN MILLIONAIBE AIDS 1UI Rlill Growers' Organization of Sales Agency Detailed.

The Hawaiian race is not "dying out," but in reality is "mar rying itself out of existence," ac cording to a statement made here by Miss Si. Hester Lemon, registrar of vital statistics. ; Although there has been no ma terial increase in the death rate of pure-blooded Hawaiians during the past, four years, the birth rate for the calendar year 1921 showed a ma terial decrease as compared with those of the four preceding years and indicated that Hawaiian men and women are destroying their own race by marrying into other groups, she said. "It will be seen readily that this practice will tend to increase the part-Hawaiian population and at the same time decrease the pure Hawai ian population insofar as the future is concerned," she added. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, there were 169 mar riages between pure Hawaiian cou ples. In addition to these, ''58 Ha waiian men married women of other races and 142 Hawaiian women were married to men of other groups. Births among pure Hawaiian fam ilies during the calendar year 1921 were 42 less in number than those registered during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921.

Profits From Handling of Crops . of Members Expected to Be Used to Build Elevators. WASHINGTON, D..C, June 10 Organization by the United States Grain Growers, Incorporated, with the assistance of a Chicago million aire, of a subsidiary for the co-operative marketing of grain was de tailed by James K. Mason of Milton, Ind., vice-president of the grain growers, in testifying today before the special senate committee investi gating the alleged activities of the United States Grain Dealers' asso ciation to "prevent co-operative mar keting legislation. Mr. Mason, who with other offi cers of the grain growers, appeared at the committee's request with books and records in connection with charges that the organization had marketed no grain for its mem bers, said the new subsidiary was known as the United States Grain Growers' sale department. Millionaire to Aid Grower. - The Chicago millionaire, whose name he did not disclose, was en- gaged in the sale of grain upon the Chicago board of trade, he said. Th millionaire, he added, is expected to lend the grain growers $50,000 to be used in obtaining a membership on the Chicago board of trade and otherwise financing the newly cre ated sales department. The financier, the committee was further told, was willing to add a million dollars or more: to make the undertaking a success. When mention of the Chicago mil lionaire was brought into the hear ing, Chairman Keyes asked: "Will you give the committee his name?" "I very much prefer not to do so," replied Mr. Mason, "but will do so if the committee insists." Nine Not Demanded. "Under the circumstances, then, the committee will not insist." Chairman Keyes said, and no fur ther attempt was made to obtain the name of the Chicago man. The witness explained that the sales department would handle the grain of all members of the growers' association which the members by contract are to deliver to the parent organization, for a period of five years. The parent organization will, it was stated, retain control of the common stock of the sales corpora tion and a portion of the commis sions earned by the sale3 corpora tion will be devoted to liquidate Its indebtedness to the Chicago backer for the money he may advance. The grain growers on April 30, according to Mr. Mason and William G. Eckhardt, retiring treasurer of the corporation, had a deficit of $129,267, an increase of indebtedness since its convention at Chicago in March Of about $23,000. , Membership Is Gaining. The corporation membership is in creasing at the rate of about 600 a week. It had received from mem bership dues up to the time of the convention - $486,310, and had in curred up to that time liabilities to taling $589,456. The total current assets were placed by Mr. Eckhardt at $218)033 and the total current liabilities at $336,080. The association has con tracts with its members, he stated, to market approximately 100,000,000 bushels of grain. Both witnesses expressed the opinion that as soon as the sales department started op erations it' would be able in 10 or 11 months to wipe out the indebted ness. . Profits t Build Elevators. The sales department was decided upon, the committee was told, to meet the objections of grain ex changes to the pro-rating of com missions among members. As ex plained, it is -planned by the parent corporation to use the profits, de rived from the sales corporation, in part, in the construction of ele vators and' in other instrumentali ties," which may be considered de sirable. Mr. Mason told the committee that the contract with the Chicago mil lionaire, under which an experienced board of trade dealer- would be em- This week hundreds of boys and girls will bid school and college asso ciations a fond farewell. , Friends and relatives of the grad uates will realize a happy experience in selecting for them the new and ; unusual, as well as inexpensive gifts to be found here.
