CONSUL OUTLINES
JAPANESE LAND LAW

Sacramento, Cal Jan. 16-GoyernoT
Gillett has received a letter from the
Japanese consul general at San Fran
cisco outlining the laws OF his coun-
try affecting the ownership of lands
by foreigners. This was all the re-
guest the governor made when the
consul visited him to protest against
proposed legislation against Japanese
holding property in this state
A. NJ Drew of Fresno introduced
early in the session a measure pro,
viding that aliens may hold lands for
five years after they shall have
reached the ago OF twenty-one. but
If, at the end of that time, the lands
shall not have been conveyed to bona
fide purchasers, they shall be sold by
the state. II also provides that no
contract. agreement or lease of real
etctas shall be made TO an alien Tor
longer period than one year
In order TO determine what action
to take when the bill should come to
bm for signature, the governor asked
the representative of Japan TO fur
nisr him with information OF the treat
nent accorded alines in the islands
and the reply shows that Drew'S bill
IL more drastic than the Japanese
law. In that country aliens are not
allowed to own land on account of the
crowded condition of the islands, but
corporations may lease property for
100 years. giving them all the rights.
except actual ownership, allowed 10
natives.
The governor said today that he
had not contemplated his inyestiga-
tons and was not ready to pronounce
an opinion Of the merits OF the pro-
posed measure.
