VZ"- Antipathy to Japanese Due to Davey Reports Dirisicn of Sentiment ia Oreca ( Farmers and v Labor . Opposed to Orientals ' There is a marked division of 'sentiment throughout " Oregon on the Japanese question sub mitted to Governor Olcott by Frank Davey, special-agent em ployed to gather data on the Jap situation for the executive office. Probably a majority of the, people deprcate and opopse Japanese settle ment but some are reticent on the sub ject not desiring: to arouse Japanese 'A goodly number excuseyy.alaaandtnl tesentment, Davey'a report declares. A fcoodly number excuse or favor the - Japanese saying that- so .'long as our -American ; people . : will not work the iand it Is better to have some one pro ducing the things that are needed than to have the land lie idle and the con sumers go hungry, . Among merchants, bankers and con servative business men, Davey'e-'rer ,nort continues, there is a strong spirit of toleration toward the Japanese and belief that - there vls no particular menace to our -interests or our. civiliza tion in the entrance of a limited num ber ot them and of their participation Is the pursuit-of their choice. - -! In opposition to this ; sentiment! Davey found a strong antipathy; against the Japanese .among small farmers, mechanics, labocers and sal. ried classes in general. A large' part ol-this antipathy, he declares. Is racial and does not depend upon .economic facts. '. " . . Don't "Want Japs. Referring to this spirit of antipathy , tlie report says: . . "In Us crude form It Is expressed 1b the emphatic pronouncement: "We don't want any d ; Japs In this coun- . try at all!' No suggestions, no sup , posed benefits of cultivation or in creased production, no arguments of any. kind can be produced to mitigate Out verdict. ': It is inexorable, conemi Mv and unchangeable. Those who iglve reasons for that verdict say that v' he Japanese cannot become a part of ' . American life, sorfally or as logleai citizens, because their .imes of thought, purpose and aspirations are Japanese, .their standards of living are not ours; their commereiaj'-purposes are Itt the -Inteest ot Japan and not of the United States and their national sympathies are the same way; their methods are oiafty and deceitful; they, are leeches upon our national body, sucking out its best blood and poisoning the body At Hood River. The Japanese question, Davey found, Is more acute in the Hood ' River valley than In any other place In Oregon. There, he states, the white settlers have organized to combat fur ther encroachments upon the land by ' Japs, the claim being made that unless the Orientals are checked they will ul- the valley.

"Oregon is interested In having her water power developed and, we feel that permits for the use of water or for the use of public lands In connec tion therewith should be granted on ly to those who not only Intend to develop the same but who have the ability to do so," he states. "The re cently enacted water power bill lim its the franchise to a period of time and it ia within the province of the publlo service commission in practic ally all cases to fix the rate within the limitations.
