OUR DUTY TO THE
PRISON INNATE S

1t does not need any argument to
convince fair-thinking men that the
state has no right to impair, much less
to shatter, the health of those w hom
it imprisons for their improvement
or to safeguard its own welfare.
Therefore, it goes without saying
that all of our penal institutions
should be thrown open to sunlight
and pure, fresh air, and that they
should be protected against all disease
breeding germs. The work done be-
in quality nor quantity, nor perform
ed under such conditions and rules as
to be injurious to the body, mind, and
soul of the inmates Relief from the
drudgery and the confinement of toll
in the factory may be found in the
out-of door employment offered by a
penitentiary farm.
The newer and more enlightened
public opinion is everywhere con-
demning the letting out of convict
labor by contract. But, regardless
of the question whether or not our
prisoners are made elf-sustaining,
we may go still further, without going
too far, and say that the goods pro-
duced by convict should be so dis
posed of that they may be given him
in the shape of coin of the realm
after his release, or may help to sus
tain the members of his family dur
ing his imprisonment. As things are
now, the state not only often severely
Furnishes the innocent by depriving

Bill Aimed at Japanese,

The lower house of the state legls-
lature 70 California passed a meas
ure last week known as the anti
alien property holding BILL" 1t is
aimed at the Japanese and Chinese
property owners in the state, and is
intended to prevent them FROM acuuir-
ing and owning property for a longer
period than five years. In urging the
passage of the bill Assemblyman Drew
said that since January l one-third of
the property transfers in Fresno has
been to Japanese.
The bill provides that any alien who
does not become a citizen of the Uni
ted States shall not hold title to lands
in this state for more than five years.
If within that time the alien does not
become citizen the district attorney
shall compel the sale of his lands or
houses. Japanese and Chinese are not
specifically named, but as they can
not become citizens the bill precludes
them from owning property for more
than five years.
The impression is given out that II
the bill reaches the governor he will
sign it.
