CARSON, Feb. 2.-The hasty
action of the assembly yesterday in
presenting the anti-Japanese resolu-
ton, which also censures President
Roosevelt, was the talf of both
houses this morning.
Prior to the calling up of the res
olution there was a conference of
both political parties and an effort
was made to modify it to the extent
that the censure of the president be
omitted.
1t Is stated that Governor Dicker-
son opposed the measure as it
stands. He is favorable to the exclu-
sion portion of the measure, but does
not approve of the strong language
used. Assemblyman Dodge, Republi-
can leader of the house. stated that
he will do everything in his power to
defeat the measure as it now stands.
Speaker Giffen, who introduced the
measure, so far stands pat. He also

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Commis-
sioner Herbert Knox Smith of the
bureau of corporations, today sub
mitted to Secretary Straus, of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, the
annual report of the operations of
his bureau for the year ended June
30th, 1908. In all respects, 1t is the
most important report yet submitted
by the bureau of corporations. The
work of the bureau during the last
fiscal year was more varied than
during any similar period since the
establishment of the department of
commerce and labor. During the
year Commissioner Smith directed
investigations of many important in
dustries and he now has on hand as
current work, inquiries into the to-
bacco industry, steel industry, Inter-
national Harvester company, lumber
industry, cotton exchanges, and wa
Ter transportation.
The most important legal work of
the bureau in the last fiscal year was
in connection with bill for the
amendment of the Sherman law A
large amount of work was done in
aiding the department of justice in
the preparation for trial of cases
against the Standard Oil company
for alleged practice of discrimina-
| tion in railway rates.
Discussing the general subject of
corporate regulation and control,
Commissioner Smith says:
There is an irresistible move
ment toward concentration in busi-
ness. We must recognize the fact
that industrial concentration is al
ready largely accomplished, in spite
of general statutory prohibition. The
aim of new legislation should be to
regulate, rather than to prohibit
combination. 1t is an obvious alb
surdity to attempt to do both at the
same time, and prohibition has prac-
tically failed. Our present law, for.
bidding all combination, therefore
needs adoption to the actual facts
If we are to do anything effective
with the corporation question, We
must make an advance on our pres
ent legislation. The practical OBJ
ject is to see that business opportun
ity and the highways of commerce
are kept equally open to all; to pre-
vent fraud, special privilege and un

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-No other
question is absorbing the concern of
the administration at this moment
to the same extent as certain phases
of the anti-Japanese agitation in
California. President Roosevelt has
been communicated with by many
persons who should be thoroughly
informed as to the conditions on the
Pacific coast. 1t is admitted that
systematic agitation has been in pro-
gress on the coast, but the significant
feature of lack of strength was the
fact that labor leaders have taken no
prominent part in it. 1t even has
been stated to the administration
that the handspring of the agitation
was to be found in some Of the great
corporations that found their profit
able business of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts of the
administration to stop this class of
immigration. 1t is the opinion of the
administration that negotiations with
Japan for practically complete clos
ure of American ports to the entry of
Japanese laborers are jeopardized by

Legislation
Discussed

ANY nonresident aliens, except

be done to prevent legislation by any
state that would discriminate against
the Japanese as class apart from
other foreign elements entering

objection to a law prohibiting aliens

Kansas began the growing of alfalfa
in 1879 and If more had taken IT up
at that time it is estimated that the
state would be much richer today.
Now hogs are marketed in the Mis-
souri, river packing centers that new

the opportunities in this Pacific
northwest country for growing hogs
on alfalfa and other foods than corn
than in the middle west where alfal-
ia does not thrive so well as it does
here.
