Show THE 10 The railroads are necessary for the proper development of the country, and the public iss beginning to understand that they are doing this work out of their own great capacities and are doing it well. . development of a great industrial pire. on the Pacific coast." MOTOR-PROO- F C I em- PEDESTRIANS A London writer offers a plan for the development of the motor-propedestrian. First he would make a census of all the people in the country who had been knocked down by motorcars and had come through more or less unscathed. An Act of Parliament would then force intermarriage among these splendid hardy folk. Their characteristics would be transmitted in an intensified form to their descendants, and in a few generations the country would consist of motorists and those whom motor-car- s could not injure. What would become of the other pedestrians? you ask. Oh, thats all right. We motorists would by then have dealt with them. Boston of USE MORE COPPER Until quite recently, employment of copper in building construction has been confined almost entirely to office and public structures where Its value from the standpoint of permanence has been well recognized. The building being uniformed as to relative costs, has generally disregarded the possibility of using copper to any extent In residential work. The Utah Copper company has recently laid out a new townsite about two miles from its mine, and is constructing dwellings thereon for its employes, using copper wherever practical. Careful records of costs were kept, with the result that it is now known that the use of copper and its alloys increases the cost of an averr five-roodwelling only 5.8 age four-oper cent, or an average increase of $310 per building. The Increasing use of copper, lead and zinc In all kinds of construction work is encouraging western metal mines, the successful development and operation of which is so essential to proper industrial progress in this nation. Considering the great durability of copper in comparison to cheaper materials," with consequent lowering of maintenance and depreciation costs, the use of copper in home construction will receive considerable impetus within the next year or two. PACIFIC COAST CONTAINS GREATEST WATER POWER San Francisco, Aug. 5. The Pacific coast, with more famous waterfalls than any other region in the world, has potential water power sufficient for a population of more than 30,000,000, according to J. T. Saunders, freight traffic manager for the Southern Pacific company. of the Out of a list of thirty-eigh- t world's most famous waterfalls, recently published by a New York newsare on paper, more than the Pacific coast. Eighteen of the falls listed are in the United States, sixteen of which are west of the Mississippi. Yosemite valley leads with eight, while Multnomah Falls in Oregon and Snoqualmie Falls in Washington are also "world renowned. While thousands of tourists flock to see these falls and they are notable beauty spots, there are uhndreds of other lesser known falls which betoken the fu, one-four- th . ture industrial greatness of the Pa- California already leads any other state 3 to 1 in the per cappowita consumption of hydro-electri- c er, in spite of the power developed in New York state by Niagara. This vast reserve of potential power," Saunders stated, together with the all year climatic conditions ideal for labor and varied enough, according to location, to fit the requirements of many types of industry, seems to guarantee the cific coast. PROPAGANDA This is the day of propaganda. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that this is still the day of propaganda for we have been having plenty of it since 1914 and perhaps before that date, although it was only then that we began to sit up and take notice and to wonder what it was all about. We have had propaganda recently about cancelling the debts which Europe owes us. We have had subtle propaganda advocating universal brotherhood which has had for its real objects many things beside cancellation, such as American participation in the affairs of Europe, and even the lowering of our American tariff. Then we have had the propaganda against American policy in the Philippines and propaganda against our merchant marine, and lately against our efforts in the naval conference at Geneva. Some of this propaganda has a European origin and some of it comes from the little friends of Europe in the United States. Not even our immigration laws, which have seemed soundly American to most of us, have escaped the wiles of propaganda. We have all read stories about how the poor immigrants are treated on Elis Island, and how Uncle Sam is cruelly separating relatives In America from relatives in Europe. We have even noted propagan- Latin-Americ- a, da to the effect that the letting down of the bars of immigration would help the American farmer, though the argument is a little The principal attack against the immigration laws has come through the proposal to admit outside the quota relatives of aliens already in America. Now as nearly every immigrant who reaches our shores has relatives who want to come over, and as 85 per cent of those coming in under the quota have relatives here, it is easy to see tliat permitting relatives to enter the United States outside the quota would be tantamount to repealing the immifar-fetche- d. gration laws altogether. As a matter of fact a bill was introduced In the last congress to give relatives preference in coming in under the quota and it was defeated In the T I ZEN senate by the efforts of those .who have been demanding relief for suffering relatives" in Europe. Which proves clearly that what these forces want is not relief for relatives but the breaking down of the immigration ; laws. As a matter of fact the present law is working well. If it is changed it ' ought to be changed not by opening the gates but by closing some of the : gates now open along the border.
