The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-01-22

San Francisco, Cal, January
81, 1909-To the Honorable,
the President and Members of
the Senate and the Speaker
and Members of the Assembly
of the Legislature of the state
Of California: We Of the Com
mercial commission of the
chambers of commerce, who
recently visited Japan, beg
leave to protest against the
passage of certain anti-Japa-
nese legislation now pending
before your honorable bodies.
and as forcibly as possible to
direct your attention to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter of jan
uary 10, 1909, to Governor Gil
lett regarding said proposed
legislation.
During our visit to Japan
we paid particular attention
10 the question Of Japanese
emigration and from what we
ascertained we are strongly Of
the opinion that the emperor
and the government officials
in Japan are acting in abso-
Lutte good faith regarding the
restriction of Japanese emf
grafton to the United States.
We firmly believe that any
action by the legislature
which is directed at the Japa-
nese residents of this state
will be taken as an affront by
the entire Japanese nation.
The oriental trade passing
through the ports of this state
has assumed large proportions
and is likely to be seriously
crippled by such proposed
action.
We therefore respectfully
request that action on any of
these bills which affect the
Japanese people be deferred
indefinitely as being unwise
and injudicious.
Most respectfully submit
ted: w. M. Alexander, F. w.
Dohrmann. NJ. Greenebaum, R.

Miehaeis. Max Schmidt, James
b. Stetson.

FOR AND
AGAINST MEASURE

" HE Anti-Jap laundry league
pleading for the passage o.
anti Japanese legislation
L and the Chamber of com.
merce Japanese commercial
commission, opposing the meas
ures, have written the following
letters to the members of th'
To the Honorable Repre-
sentative of the State Legls-
lature. Sacramento, Cal.-Dear
Sir: In reference to the anti
Japanese bills now pending
before the senate and assem-
bly, at the state capitol, the
Anti-Jap laundry league, rep
resenting practically the en-
tire laundry industry through
out the state of California
which comprises the employees,
drivers and proprietors of said
ndustry-most urgently ap-
peal to you. not only in behalf
of all engaged in the laundry
business-that is sadly afflicted
by the blight of oriental COM
petition-but also in behalf OF
every white man and woman
on the Pacific coast who be-
lieves in preserving the stand
ards of the Caucasian upon
this, the soil Of the Caucasian.
We exceedingly regret that
the executive department of
our general government, as
represented by President
Roosevelt, deems it his affair
TO interfere in the sovereign
rights OF sour state. Conditions
have reached a most unique
position when the people can
no longer be trusted to frame
and enforce laws that are for
the welfare of our citizens
without having to consult
with the whims and wishes of
a foreign power.
Should our state law makers
procrastinate upon the present
issues now before them, they
are merely postponing the
inevitable and sooner or later
we must meet this oriental
Issue fairly and squarely and
settle 1t once and for all.
And we believe that no better,
opportune occasion exists than
the present.
We most earnestly solicit
your support and vote for q
measure that was introduced
by Senator Marc Anthony at
yesterdays session, that had
for it's purpose the submission
to our people at the next cleo
ton the question For or
Against Japanese Immigra-
ton"
We believe IN giving our
citizens an opportunity of ex-
pressing their sentiments upon
this vital issue. which so
keenly concerns our temporal
welfare. Such an expression
of public opinion would con-
vince our eastern friends that
the Asiatic exclusion me,e-
ment had behind it the moral
support of the overwhelming
majority Of our electors, and
IT would go far way toward
helping along the passage of
such an exclusion act.
In behalf of the white men
and women of our league we
sincerely trust and pray that
you will give these matters
serious and favorable consid-
GRAFTON. Respectfully,
ANTI-JAP LAUNDRY
LEAGUE.

DEMOCRATS FOR
EXTRA SESSION

l.. L. McCandless the almost
certain candidate of the Democratic
party for the Office of Delegate to
Congress, believes in a special ses-
sion of the Legislature, provided
that there is any assurance of the
passage of land laws, for embodiment
in the Organic Act, in line with the
ideas of the Democrats as urged at
the regular session of the Legisla.
tuTe.
The Democrats are in favor of Il
special session." says Mr. McCand
less, "if that special session will
supply the important thing omitted
by the regular session. land law
along American lines. If a special
session is called, the Democrats VIII
be on hand with a bill which, if EN-
bodied in the Organic Act, will en-.
able homesteaders to acquire land on
reasonable terms, which is not now
possible. The present law is law
for the big man; we want to give IN
small man a chance. As it now stands
our own poor men are unable to. ac-
quire homes, and it is impossible, un.
der the law, to offer homes to set
tiers from the mainland.
Il want to see the land settled up
by our own people-Hawaiian and
Americans; and we must have laws
that will make such thing possible.
The big corporations have had and
are still having their innings. When
are the people to have a show?
They should have It now. The pres
ent law is no good, and everybody
knows it. Why hold on to it?
The scheme prepared by the Dem
ocrats for consideration by the last
Legislature (and which should have
been passed. whereby it was propos.
ed to apply the American plan to the
public lands of Hawaii, was entirely
satisfactory. 1t would have brought
about just such a condition as some
people other than Democrats seem
coming around to feel would be the
correct thing. This measure was
qleereu by The passage of he Gov.
ernOr's pet bill.

special session of the Legislature
bringing the day nearer when we
will have such a law, say, let us
have such special session by al
means"
Gilbert j. Waller. National Com
mitteeman of the Democratic party
seems also to feel that if the ideas
of the Democrats had been carried
out, all cause for the present dissat
isfaction would have been swept
away 81 have been very busy fol

put forward by the Democrats al
the time the matter was up for dis

have seeV it tried. It is passing
strange that some Of our friends O.
the opposition did not awake to tn,
importance of this matter during the
regular session of the Legislature"

TREASURE
ONaTENYO

The S. S. Tenyo Maru arrived from
San Francisco, docking about eleven
O'Clock. She was off Koko Head much
earlier than that but was slowed down
owing to a wireless having been sent
that she would not dock till ten O'Clock
and it was not known just what ar
rangements had been made to receive
Prince Kunioyshl Kuni. VINO was on
board. Owing to the large crowd of
steerage passengers the medical exa-
mination took much longer than usual.
The steamer had a fine trip which
was practically devoid of incident with
the exception that a steerage passen-
ger died of consumption and was buried
at seat in 2S:45 N. and 1923 w.
The steamer brought 229 sacks of
mail for this port and has only S75 tons
of through cargo
The S. s. Nippon Maru was passed
yesterday quite close.
The Tenyo Maru will take twenty
two cabin passengers from here, in
cluding the one and only "Valvoline"
Graham. She will also take sxty-four
.steerage passengers from here.
Aboard the steamer is $25OO,OOO in
treasure, $2,OO0,00O of which is for the
Yokohama Cpeeie Bank at Kobe
The through cargo includes $50 tons
of sugar 200 rolls of leather, and 1000
cases of roofing material.
