WIDOW DIES IN MYSTERY OH FIRE ARR MAVITY. I By NANCY B. If Orientals and Indians from' Mexico are admitted to America via California, we must either be willing that their, grandchildren shall be our grandchildren or estpl lieh a caste system under which democratic instltutionswwill be lost. Chester Rowell, speaking before the School of Adult Education at Mills college this morning, thus analyzed the practical problem of Immigration on the Pacific Coast. "There is no scientific data by which we can determine whether race amalgamation would Improve or deteriorate the races Involved," Kowell said.

"What evidence there is Indicates that tho Oriental-Caucasian combination Is a good one. But -against this hypothesis si the prejudice against race intermixture; which has made the English-speaking peoples the most intolerant of the white stocks. The problem la further complicated by the' fact, that across the Pacific ocean they are facing the proudest of the non-white peoples. EXPERIENCE COSTLY. "America has learned Its attitude towards race problems in two very bad schools.

We- oppressed the Indians and We oppressed the Negroes and Plated them under a caste system. Neither of these performances Indicates our ability to deal wisely with the members of other races. The Oriental peoples have an ability and cultural level which would make their extermination Impossible If they lived among us In large numbers; and they have a race pride which would make them resent an intolerable the position which we impose on the Negroes.

Davie and one of his erstwhile council majority members. Commissioner William H. Parker, was widened today by a spirited at- -tack on the mayor In a statement submitted by Parker commenting on the new municipal "Mayor John L. Davie has again made a bid for political, preferment and Ignores the need of a growing city ry aflvocatfng an Inadequate budget allowance for the conduct of the business of the city of Oakland," read the opening sentence of Parker's statement to the coun cil today.

PROTESTS SYSTEM "I do protest most vigorously against the system of politics as attempted In the mayor's proposed ouagget, to make of Oakland a nflu-n tn sntinfv thA nnltHinl am iif the chief executive of a city such as Oakland," it concluded. Parker was referring to the mayor's proposed budget, introduced in the council a few days ago and offering a proposed tax rate of tl.94.

"The mayor falls to con sider that Increased miles of streets plus increased miles of sewers, plus Increased auto trafflo has made increased demands on the city." AMOUNT INSUFFICIENT Parker declared that while he considered the amount allowed the street department in the Sturgls budget, 2550 000, to be Insufficient. It represented "a step ahead ot last year." "I will vote for the appropriation," he declared, "because It gives rue a substantial sum more than the mayor allowed; because It gives a very substantial amount of publlCr-hetterment, in which I am a firm believer: furthermore, it gives other departments of the city government enough money to operate on. and still at the same time provides a low tax rate." 7 20-30 Club Names Leader at Stockton STOCKTON, Aug. 20.

But we on the western frontier' are in the position of holding the front should not accent the full consequences of race' and amalgamation until we are sure that the rest of the American' people are ready for It. That time, if it ever should come, will not come In our generation nor the next the only ones with which we have any practical concern." ECONOMIC PROBLEM. Mexican Immigration presents a more strictly economic problem, according to Rowell.

It Is based on the Importation of Mexicans of low cultural level to provide cheap labor for the harvesting of crops in the southwest. "The individual rancher who Is faced with the alternative of going broke or hiring cheap Mexican labor, is not going to take a long look into the future consequences of his policy he would hardly be human if he did," Rowell said. "But the consequences of Importation of the lowest class of newcomers cannot be anything but evil for the future of America. "Immigration, left to itself, selects up.wardthe most enterprising are the ones to go. But promoted, immigration for the sake of bringing In laborers who will work for lower wages and live in poorer conditions than others, selects downwards ft Is only the least enterprising who are brought.

The danger of importing morons, the culturally and mentally deficient, to meet a temporary demand of the employer who wants to make more moneyj Is an important factor in the problem." F.
