by the legislature this week. Senator
Thompson OF Los Angeles and Assem-
blyman Harry Barndollar OF Long
Beach will introduce identical Bills
amending the present law by making II
less drastic. Senator Hurd, Los An

bill repeating the act.
Senator Thompson's bill provides
that whenever the state board OF heaith

loid exists in any common or high
school district or in any city, city and
county or town, it shall be the duty or
the school board of the district to ex-
clude from the schools any children
who have not been successfully vac

1t is the situation existing in Long
Beach that has aroused the southern
California Legislators to activity. Long
Beach has been winking at the state
law requiring compulsory vaccination.
The state board of health insisted that
the law be observed. The Long Beach

Prevents immigration


At the same time the president.
IN the exercise Of power especially
conferred upon him by congress as
part OF the arrangement, prevents
the indirect immigration of Jap
anese who do not carry passports
for the United States from the
Japanese government
II this bill were to be passed
that arrangement with the Japan
csc government would necessarily
come 10 an immediate end. The
people Of the state of California
have to consider not the question
whether they viii have the present
arrangement through which Jap
anese are now being excluded.
plus such Legislation as this, but
whether they Will substitute this
legislation for the exclusion of
Japanese laborers.
j have no doubt that what the
people Of California would sacrifice
by the enactment Of this act would.
considering their own interests
alone, be of far greater value and
Importance than the legislation
itself
The exclusion Of Asiatic laborers
through the cooperation of their
own government, has, in the case
Of China, proved to be far more
successful and satisfactory than
would the exclusion without the
aid Of the government by the sim
pie enforcement of a statute on
this side OF the Pacific. The same
would inevitably be the case with
Japan.
No exclusion act passed by con-
gress would be so efficient as the
present arrangement. and il would
be accomplished inevitably bv in
feeling and resentment, the conse-
quence OF which would be of the
most serious character I may OBJ
serve that the experience of the
San Francisco school board shows
that there is no occasion whatever
for any such legislation, for that
regulation which they adopted as a
substitute for the discriminating
regulation, as ! am informed by
them, proved entirely satisfactory
and effective TO accomplish all that
they wished to accomplish by the
discriminatory regulation.

Assembly bill IA, entitled An act to
amend 1862 Of the political code"

This dill aims to reproduce in the
form which created so much natural
resentment on the part of Japan
two years ago the specific discrim-
ination against japanese in the
schools. 1t was by securing the
abandonment Of this discrimination
on the part OF the San Francisco
school board that the national gov
eminent was enabled to bring about
the informal agreement or arrange
ment with Japan under which the
two countries are now harmonious
~ and successfully preventing the
coming. Of Japanese laborers to this
country.
The essential feature of this ar
rangement is the adoption by Japan
OF a series OF strict and effective
regulations. determined upon after
fun consultation and discussion
with the government of the United
states, preventing the issue of pass
ports for the United States to Japa-
nese laborers.

Rights Are Limited

In my opinion this provision does
not confer rights to either own or
hire agricultural lands, but is linn
tied to owning and hiring lands and
the structures thereon for residen-
tial and commercial purposes. in
Guiding within commercial purposes
both manufacture and trade. To
the extent that these rights go, that
IS 10 say. as to residential and COM
merCial purposes, il is not compe-
tent for the legislature of Califor-
MIA TO change in any way the proyi-
siOns of the treaty or TO impose any
limitations inconsistent herewith.
To the extent of owning or hiring
land for agricultural purposes. so
far as Japan is concerned, it is
clearly competent for the state of
California to enact its own laws.
and il is gratifying TO observe that
il is the purpose of this bill TO
make these laws general as to
aliens

LAND MONOPOLY GROWING.

The tendency in this county toward large land holdings
which has been going for many years. is to be de-
pored The evil is admitted but how to remedy it is a
difficult problem. There less farmers in Amador county
today than there twenty years ago. Not alone in the
fool region and higher toward the timber belt has this
tirement of the small farmer been prominent feature but
even the Valleys where the soil will compare in fertility
and producveness with that of the richest In the state the
large land holdings have been steadily encroachng and
pushing the small farmer off the field. And the land
acquired has been devoted cattle raising Of the
logic of this situation however unwelcome the admission
may be- is that under conditions existing pays better
the land for raising cattle than for raising grain
other farm products generation ago there were more
fruit orchards within radius of few miles around Jackson
than today The doubtless true of other
sections This is far from being healthy sign. 1t is
population that mparts wealth and stability to country.
The breaking of cattle to give place to the actual
ter of the soil sign of progress, and the
the case where farms converted into grazing
pastures There may be a combination Of which is
responsible for this Of affairs but is in striking
trast with the drift in other sections of California with
probably attracveness the settler and homeseeker

NEED OF RAILROADS.

Amador county exceedingly backward in the matter of
railroad facilities The Amador Branch railroad from Gait
lone penetraes the county only eight miles. The
Amado Central from lone Marells, distance Of
than eight miles direct line and fourteen miles
by the railroad track This short mileage constitutes the
sum total of railroad facilities in this county From
the county stretches for seventy miles, and the
border penetrated by the rcn bands of traffic for
distance of sixteen miles at the outside There few if
any communities of equal population and business in
California that poorly provided in this respect 1t is
no doubt owing in great this lack of cheap and
rapid transportation that Amador has failed keep pace
with other counties in the march of progress Railroads
the vanguards Of progress They usually precede agricu
tura settlement Amador mining has brought about a
limited farming population to supply the local demands
But little beyond this be expected without railroad
development 1t along this line that the people de-
pend for the of fertile foothills into fruit and
vegetables orchards Such interests thrive under
present conditions because matter what superior quality
of products may raise they cannot be shipped to market
compete with favored sections We hear there
project talked about of running railroad from some
navgabe point the Sacramento river toward Plymouth
and thence along the mother lode to Jackson Such
terprs would be big thing for the county, and should be
encouraged by citizens in every possible way.

MAGNETISM.
Some Of the Peculiar Properties Of THIS
Strange Force.

Some Of the Peculiar Properties Of THIS
Strange Force.
The true nature Of magnetism as
such, of course. is not known. All
that we can be sure of is that mag
netic attraction does not radiate out
ward In all directions as does light.
but simply acts along lines consisting
of closed curves and called lines of
force. these lines connecting the two
poles and not extending very far out
ward between them. These curves
may be found very nicely by placing n
horseshoe magnet under Il thin sheet
of paper and sprinkllng iron filings on
top. The filings will collect along the
lines
Now. MS to the different kinds of
magnets. there are natural artificial
and electro magnets. The natural ones
are found as magnetic ore in the earth.
the artificial ones are made by stroking
piece of iron or steel with mag
net. and the electro magnets are cuus-
ed by the action of an electric current.
Some peculiar things have been no.
which are the following facts:
1t has been observed that FIRE irons
that have rested in one position dur
ing the summer months are often high
ly magnetizcd. no doubt having been
caused by the magnetism of the earth
itself by the process known rs induc-
tion. Other iron articles that stay in
Il, i,,
tact with fire or other heat are often
found in the same condition, such as
iron bars to Jail windows and iron
ratings in front Of houses.
The most peculiar observation made.
however. was that the upper part of
the steel tire of II carriage wheel at
tracts the north pole of magnet.
while the bottom part. or part in con
tact with the earth. attracts the south
pole This is in the northern hemi-
sphere only and is fully in accord with
the theory of induced magnetism. OF
course in the southern hemisphere.
where the earth is under the influence
of the south magnetic pole. the condi-
tions are reversed.
A magnet dipped into boiling water
loses Il great part of its magnetism.
which is miraculously restored to it on
becoming cool again.
A sharp blow given to magnet will
cause it to lose its magnetism. Also
the application Of heat will have
like effect.
If a magnetic needle be placed over
rapidly revolving plate of copper, al
though it be separated from it by
thick plate of glass. the needle will
revolve in the same direction as the
