WITHOUT A COUNTRY
The commissioner of immigration says that more
than a million persons, or about one per cent of the total
population, are without a country, and possibly do not
know it.
An alien must first declare his intention of becoming
a citizen; and not less than two years and not more than
seven years must elapse before filing a petition Verified
by two witnesses, citizens of the United States.
If any alien who has secured a certificate of citizen
ship, within five years after the issuance of the certificate
shall return to the country of his nativity or go to any
other foreign country and take permanent residence
therein, it will be considered evidence of lack of intention
to become a citizen of the United States, and the certifi
cate may be cancelled.
Many aliens having filed their intentions and receiv
ed their certificate, have left the country temporarily, per
haps, found temporary jobs in another country, and upon
returning have found themselves a citizen of neither this
country nor any other country. Many tourists leaving,
their country may have stopped off here, found a job, and
overstayed their temporary entrance permits. Many
coming over the border when restrictions were less severe
have lost their original citizenship papers, remained here
too long, and forgot the American citizenship require
ments.
Five years continuous residence in the United States
is necessary after filing the original intention. If any
thing happens to interrupt this period, the alien must
start all over again. An American can awake to find out
that he may go abroad and lose hi& citizenship here and
elsewhere if he is ignorant or careless about the law.
WHY RATES HAVE INCREASED
Why have newspaper advertising and subscription
rates been advanced? Here’s the answer—from one small
city daily newspaper:
In 1916 the Nebraska City (Neb.) Daily Press had a
daily expense of $40 now its daily expense is $130. In 1916
this paper paid out $8,100 in wages; in 1925 it paid about
$23,000 in wages to about the same number of people. In
1916 it was able to get along with modest equipment,
which was purchased at modern prices. Today it has more
than $50,000 invested in machinery, and it is by no means
over-equipped.
This situation prevails in every city where the pub
lisher attempts to serve his community with a real news
paper. A plant in the average city of 8,000 t 12,000 popu
lation appraises at $50,000 to $100,000. Average payrolls
on small daily newspapers, with circulations ranging
from 3,500 to 6,000 run from $30,000 to $40,000.
A FISH STORY
The amateur angler of White Pine camp reports a
catch of 30 trout. That will turn Attorney General Sar
gent blue with envy. However, he could show ’em all up
by spending a few hours on Russian river.

NATIONAL COINERS
MOVE NEW QUARTERS
In a circular letter received in the
last mail from C. A. Burckhardt, presi
dent of the Association of Fisheries,
Seattle, it is announced that, effective
Thursday, August 12, both the Asso
ciation of Pacific Fisheries and the
»
National Canners Association will
move from their present suite of of
fices in the Securities Building to a
suite being prepared for them in the
new Skinner Building on Fifth Avenue
from Union to University Streets—
diagonally across Fifth Avenue from
the Olympic Hotel.
The laboratory for the National
Canners Association is being con
structed in room 827 Skinner Build
ing; the general office and main en
trance will be No. 826, and the inner
office and room for Executive Com
mittee meetings will be in the fear of
No. 825.
There are numerous advantages in
the matter of better office and labor
atory space on the top floor of the
Skinner Building, and they trust that
their members and friends will soon
call upon them in their new quarters.
The new Skinner Building is cen
trally located both as to the Olympic
Hotel and the newer business section
of town, and we believe our new of
fices will be more convenient for our
members than ever before.
