VAR OPINION By JAPANESE
Yoshito Tanimoto Declares His
Country Is Americas Friend
Asserts that All the Trouble In Cali
fornIa Is the Result of
Race Prejudice.

At Memorial Church, Twelfth and n
streets northwest last night Yoshito
Tanimoto, japanese orator and newspaper
correspondent. delivered a lecture on
Japan" he explained the commercial
policy OF the far East, together with
Japan's attitude toward the United
States.
Mr.. Tanimoto is a former student Of the
Marion Normal College, OF Marion, Ind.
He was born IN Hawaii. and attended
school there. With his parents. he moved
10 japan when young. About six years
ago he came TO America. and has since
been attending schools and colleges OF
the United States. He is twenty-four
years old.
In speaking OF the commercial policy OF
Japan. he said:
There is no tendency on the part OF

American locomotives run on Arneri-
can rails through the japanese main
land; American steel bridges are span-
ming valleys; American shoes are sold all
over japan; while your sewing machines
your -four and beef and pork control
the market IN the East as well as in
Japan.
The question OF war between japan
and the United States has excited much
interest. Under no existing circumstances

School Book, Public Utilities
And Other Breaks by the
House Leader Have Caused
Much Excitement.
WHAT HIS MOTIVE is
CAN'T BE UNDERSTOOD
Pride of Democrats Is School
Book Law and Now Gar
rard Has Bill on Tap to Re-
peal This Statute.

Indianapolis, Feb. 13.-Over around
the state house they are still talking
about the activities of Representative
Garrard, the democratic floor leader
in the house, in behalf of the meas
ures that are denounced as wholly
un-democratic. These included at
first the bill to repeal the uniform
schoolbook law and the public utilit-
les bill. drawn and prepared by the
public utility corporations of the state
but Garrard has now taken hold Of an
other bill that is also branded as un-
democratic. This is a bill to take
the control OF the state library out of
the hands of the state board of edu-
cation and place it in the hands of a
new commission to be created by the
bill, and at the same time to have the
state take over a library school that
has been established in this city by
private persons.
Just why Garrard. the democratic
posals is beyond most people. espec-
iaIly the democrats whom he is sup
posed to lead in the house. Demo-
Ocrats say that the party is placed
in a very embarrassing position by
his course in these matters, for there
is no reason, they say. why the party
should take up and support such bills.
SchooIbook Law Pride Of Democrats
1t is pointed out that the present
uniform system of school textbooks 9
was created by law passed by q
Democratic Legislature years ago. II
was at that time purely Democratic
measure. and ever since it was passed
it has been pointed to by the party
with pride as a law that broke the
back of schoolbook combination
that robbed the people of the State.
Where. under the old law similar to
the one which Garrard now proposes
to enact, there was graft galore in the
adoption and sale of schoolbooks
throughout the State, under the uni
form schoolbook law there has been a
freedom from this evil in the State,
because the schoolbook combine has
not been able to do the things that 1t
used to do.
why, just think of what the school
book combine could do to the people
OF this State if this Garrard bill
should pass said one Democrat to-
day. 1T sounds as II this bill would
open up the schoolbook business in In.
diana to competition. but 1t would not,
for the school-book houses would not
compete with each other. The situa-
tfon would be the same as It was with
the bridge combine a few years ago
and the same as it has been with the
large printing houses that do public
printing for counties and cities.
