PROPOSED PLAN
TO END TROUBLE
REPORT THAT SECRETARY ROOT
WILL NEGOTIATE NEW
TREATY WITH JAPAN
AGREEMENT OFFERED
COMMERCIAL CONCESSIONS IN RE-
TURN FOR EXCLUSION OF
JAPANESE LA6oRERS.

Washington. - Sensational disclos-
pected before the California legisla-
ture resumes consideration of the anti
Japanese bills on Wednesday.
1t is rumored that Secretary Root
has proposed new treaty covering the
entire question of the relations between
the United States and Japan.
1t is said that the proposals are de-
signed to settle not only the acute
problems in California, but to harmon
ize the relation of the two nations in
the Pacific SO that when disputes arise
they may be adjusted peacefully.
1t is hoped by this means to keep
within bounds the inevitable competi-
ton between Americans and Japanese
on both sides of the Pacific.
1t was suggested in one quarter that
the treaty would provide for reciprocal
exclusion. the Japanese to be kept out
of the United State and Americans out
of Japan and Manchuria. 1t must be
remembered. however, that the United
States is irrevocably committed to the
open door in Manchuria, and it is I'M
likely. therefore, that this can be part
of the agreement.
The better informed seem to think
that the United States is prepared TO
grant many important concessions OF a
commercial character to Japan. In re-
turn Japan. it is believed, will strictly
enforce its regulations against all emf
grafton of coolies to the United States.
Although conjecture as to the terms
OF the proposals are wholly in the air.
1t is known definitely that negotia-
tions are now in progress for n more
complete understanding between the
two nations as to their relations.
Toxic now has the agreement under
consideration, and reply is expected
before Wednesday. When the Califor-
mia legislature again takes up the anti
Japanese bill it probably will find that
tentative agreement to remove most of
the evils attendant on Japanese immi.
grafton to the Pacific coast states.
II Toxic should fail to accept Amer.
ica's terms. the situation would again
be serious, for Californians would then
be able to say that the national govern
ment had failed, and that the state gov.
eminent must act.
President Roosevelt. in all his com.
munications to Governor Gillett and
other California leaders. has pledged
the national government to solve the
Japanese problem in such a way as to
remove all causes of complaint on the
Pacific coast. while at the same time
preserving friendly relations with
Japan.

To Test Forestry Rights.

The bill prepared by Attorney John
T. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules.
and the so-called encroachment OF the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect. is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit an in
vestigation and test Of the forestry
service rules and laws, but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de-
partments.
Perhaps the most drastic feature OF
it is that 1t authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes, wherever 1t Is
found that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them. 1t also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
of the state of Colorado in any case
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose of prosecution 100000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work. The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, so in order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roth's inaugural address, he drew the
special bill.

Bill to Curb spendthrifts.

desire to spend it, or those who start
to get. away with small fortunes are
the ones at whom the bill is aimed.
1t is intended to protect the state from
the expense of supporting the wives
and children of men who are afflicted
with high finance fever.
