is A CHINESE A CHINAMAN?
If SO, WHY is HE THUS?

A liberal Interpretation of the inter-
national law is that a person born on
foreign soil is a citizen of the country
of which his parents are citizens. Thus,
a child born of English parents in this
country during the temporary visit of
his parents may be a citizen of the
United States if he remains here and
claims the right, but he is an English
man If he does not claim United States
citizenship.
In these regions the only naturaliZed
Chinese citizen was jim July of Butte.
He voted, and he always voted the
Democratic ticket. The casting of
Jimmy July's ballot was always Il sub
ject for newspaper comment, because of
the fact that naturaiized Chinese are a
pretty rare article in this land.
No doubt one might find different in
terpretations of the naturalization laws
and the laws governing or defining ma
tive, natural ard fOreign-born, but the
gist Of the opinion is that a Chinaman
Is not a citizen of the United States
and cannot vote.
The question of citizenship arose in
its most pertinent form when Judge C.
s. Zane was chief justice of the SUI
preme court of this state. A Sandwich
islander sought to become a citizen, but
neither a white person nor one of Afri-
can nativity or descent, he could not
become naturalized. That decision is
one of the class the lawyers call lead
ing cases"

Messrs. Sullivan and Healy. who are

why is a Chinaman?"
That is the question, in variegated
form, that was presented yesterday to
different officers of the United States
and the county of Salt Lake.
| The consensus of opinion is that a
Chinaman is not very much of a why,
| anyhow; never has been, with rare ex-
ceptions, and probably never will be.
The Herald has received a request
for information respecting the status
of a Chinese born in this country. The
| Herald has pursued diligent inquiry in
an effort to render satisfactory answer
| to him who is in quest of enlighten-
ment.
Hiram E. Booth, United States at
| torney for Utah, holds the view that a
| Chinese born in this country of parents
not naturalized, is entitled only to that
degree of citizenship which prevents
his deportation.
Then he is not full citiZen?''
mo; I would say that he is not full
citizen-at least, he is not a voting cit
| izen."
At the Office of the clerk of the dis
| trict court the question was asked:
rs a Chinaman born in this country
a citiZen?"
"A Chinaman is not a citizen under
any conditions or circumstances, was
the reply.
What the Laws Say.
In little official pamphlet entitled,
Naturalization Laws and Regulations
of October, 1906" it is set forth that
hereafter no state court or court of
the United States shall admit Chinese
to citizenship; and all laws in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed"
On page 20 of the pamphlet one finds
this: Clerks of courts shall not re-
ceive declarations of intention to be-
come citizens from other aliens than
white persons and persons of African
nativity or Of African descent
The constitution of the United States.
In its fourteenth amendment. says that
AL persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the juris-
dictiOn thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the state wherein
they reside"
According to court decisions any per-
son is presumed to hold allegiance to
some republic. monarchy, empire or DO
tentate. A Chinese, therefore, remains
subject of the emperor of China when
he is in this country for the reason that
he cannot be naturaliZed. Consequent
ly his children arc subjects of the en-
peror of China because their father is.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Authorities Come to PreIimi-

OPINION BY JUDGE HILES
CITY ATTORNEY CONSTITUTES
LAW FOR COUNCIL.

The tangIe created by the new law
In relation to the letting of contracts
for public improvements was partially
Strengthened out yesterday afternoon
when the board of public work. the
street and finance committees of the
council, l. c. Kelsey, city engineer; ].
A. Dininny. assistant city attorney, and
Mayor Thompson met. 1t was decided
that the law is not as harsh as it has
been painted, and that the cry raised
by the American" party leaders is
baseless-that the city would have to
stop all contemplated improvements.
The meeting was called to consider
various phases Of the Moran bid for
paving West Temple street from
Fourth to Fifth South streets, and
Brigham street from Thirteenth East
street to the reservation. which the
board of public works took up Friday
evening. At the outset the long expect
ed opinion from the city attorney was
read. In it Mr.. Hiles simply stated the
main features of the new laws. In re-
gard TO the question under considera-
ton, he commented:
Judge HIes' Opinion.
THE act requires that bids for doing
the work in front of each block. lot or
part thereof or piece of ground in front
of which the improvement extends,
shall be severally advertised for, and
separate contract let for each such
blocks, or lots or part thereof, or piece
of ground"
The opinion, however, was silent on
the methods of procedure under this
new legislation, and this was left to the
council and board of works to decide
after perusing the opinion.
Councilman Tuddenham was the first
TO throw light on the problem. He
stated that he did not believe the opin-
ion made it necessary to advertise for
bids and let contracts for each seperate
and distinct parcel of property in front
Of which the improvement extends. He
said that i'm any event such a construc-
ton of the law would be absurd, and
as it was open to controversy it was
not needful that the council or the
board take the most technical and
strict Interpretation of its terms.
Believes Ii Is Elastic.
''Fhe proposition is this" he said.
''The law means that we can advertise
for any paving extension, whether it be
for one or ten blocks, in the same way
we have done heretofore. When the
bids are received and awarded, the en-
gineer shall take each block separately
and figure out the entire cost of the
work on il, and then apDOFtion il to
the amount of frontage they have.
Then when the block is finished the as

sessment can be made Immediately and
the contractor receive his money, and
this plan can be followed as each sue
ceeding block is completed
Councilman Carter agreed with the
Interpretation. and so did Chairman
Leonard of the board of public works,
and Councilman Black.
Councilman Fernstrom could not see
how this could be done, and he con-
tended that the intent of the law was
to make each property owner pay the
exact cost of the work done in front of
his ground. That is, if there is a big
cut fr one end of the block the proper
ty-owner in that end will have to pay
more than the property-owner in the
other end, where no cut is necessary.
Claims Ii is Unequal.
Councilman Carter explained that
this was not a fair Interpretation, as
the man at the level end of the block
would benefit from the pavement of
the whole as much as his neighbor at
the other end, and should bear the
same proportionate share OF the ex-
pense,
This view was concurred in by near
ly all those present, with the exception
of Councilman Fernstrom, who stuck
to his original opinion.
After discussion it was decided to
settle the matter for good and all by
making test case of the paving con-
tract on West Temple and Brigham
streets. It was pointed out that this
contract covers all the disputed points
and would be an ideal one on which to
base 4 friendly suit in order to deter
mine the exact status of affairs.
1t was proposed that one of the prop
erty-owners on one of these streets be
induced TO bring mandamus proceed
ings against the city recorder TO pre-
vent him from signing the contract
after it has been awarded, and in this
manner bring the points at issue be-
fore the courts. This must be done
quickly, as the supreme court will soon
be unable to enter the case on it's
April term calendar. If this is not
done the final adjudication of the dis
pute could not be had until September
at the earliest.
Moran Gets Contract.
After the adjournment the board of
public works met and formally let the
contract to Mr.. Moran. This would
have been done Friday night had not d
dispute arisen as to the engineers es-
innate. which was approximately $4,000
lower than the bid of Mr.. Moran. The
question at issue was whether the city
could levy an additional assessment
on the property to cover the extra COST,
as the assessment based on the en-
gineer's estimate had already been le-
We'd. The members of the council pres
ent assured the board that it would be
an easy matter TO rescind the old as
sessment and make a new one and thus
obViate the contemplated difficulty.
This viii be done.
h. q
city engineer, was asked whether he
did not consider the bid too high. He
said that he made his estimate last
year, when the price of material was
low, and that although the price asked
seemed a trifle stiff. he did not think
it exorbitant. The text of the city at
torney's opinion follows:
