Chinese Immigration Policy and Civil Service Reform Rationale
The essay argues against broader Chinese immigration while endorsing current bans on coolies, urges humane treatment for students and professionals, and calls for a consular expansion. It then defends the civil service merit system, critiques examinations, and urges copyright reform, food and drug regulation, and stronger smoke controls. It also supports Yosemite and Grand Canyon preservation, buffalo preservation, Life Saving Service pensions, and Indian citizenship issues amid federal-local governance changes.
