Tazier said :: Eess 2 this was not
a a. q dHas5n That Concerned California
alore, but concerned the right of ev-
cry State to control itss domestic af-
fairs. If the Federal government by
treaty would force Mongolians into
the white schools Of California like
treaiy would force the negroes Of Gu
ba, Santo Domingo, Hayti and the
Congo into the schools of Tennessee
in defiance of the laws for the sep
aration of the races. He expressed
the highest admiration for the Japan-
ese, but said that the action Of Cali
fornia furnished no pretext FOR quar-
rel with that country. The school
board OF San Francisco had simply
executed a State law providing for
the education of white and japanese
children in separate schools. 1t had
been decided over and over again that
States had perfect right to make
such separation; that the State OF
California was but exercising its legal
and constitutional power.
Hepburn Law Criticised.
A scathing criticism of the so-call-
ed Hepburn bill relating to the inter-
State commerce commission was made
il the House by Representative La
mar. Of Florida, who took occasion
10 say that there should be written
into the Hepburn bill a provision en-
the Interstate commerce
commission to take the initiative in
righting a. wrong in railroad rates
where wrong is done.
He said the Republican party would
have sat in the House for 20 years
more without touching the railroad
rate question if President Roosevelt
had not thrown the issue under than
ike a bomb. The Hepburn rate bill
did not go half far enough, and was
full of defects, said Mr.. Lamar.
Incident to his speech on the rail
road rate bill the gentleman from
Florida reviewed the recent impeach-
nent trial of Judge Charles Swayne
by the Senate, and said that not
outstanding his acquittal eve have
rascally judge In Flori-
la.o He said that it was unfor-
:unate for the people of Florida and
for the people of the
that the judiciary should be
% contaminated. "But l can do
lothing 10 bring about his removal"
,dded MI. Lamar. "I can, however,
from time to lime, tell the House OF
his mans record"

d in an hour and a half.
