Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


LAKE TAHOE, June RESOLUTIONS
we're passed by the grand parlor, Ma
tive Sons Of the Golden West, today,
obligating the order to work for the
purchase by the state Of a representa-
tive grove Of the redwoods in Hum
boldt county and providing that the
grand president appoint a committee
of I'VE TO have congress set apart the
Lake Tahoe region, where the grand
parlor now is meeting, as a national
park A resolution was also adopted
indorsing the ship subsidy legislation,
as proposed by the merchant marine
league. Another resolution, introduced
by Humboldt county delegates, recon-
mended the use of California shingles
in building construction.
HINDU PROTEST A JOKER
Is the suggestion that the grand
parlor, Native Sons Of the Golden West,
protest against Hindu immigration a
Joke? Grand Secretary Fred H. Jung
says il is.
Grand Treasurer John z. McDougald
of San Francisco says it is a serious
matter. The grand parlor has not yet
had its say on the question.
McDOugald introduced a resolution
this morning calling for a protest
against Hindu immigration. The reso-
luton read as follows:
Whereas the United States. being a free
and open country. is Offering great attrac-
tion and inducements 10 the overpeoped
countries Of Europe. and neither
striction BY law or custom is being placed
their immigration. and.
whereas. there Is now in California no
divided opinion upon the question OF their
coming 10 our shores, therefore, be it
Resolved. that the Native Sons Of the
Golden West, now assembled at Tahoe in
grand session Of the order 90 oy resolution
voice an earnest and emphatic protest
against the immigration Of Hindus; be it
further
Resolved. that the committee on the state
of the order be instructed to prepare suit
able reasons against Hindu immigration.
WILL BE WASTE PAPER
p .Oh," said Jung when asked con-
cerning McDougald's paper, that reso-
lUtion was introduced as a joke and
will be treated as such. It is one of the
private little jokes Of our order, and
the resolution will be thrown in the
waste paper basket and Will not be
heard from again"
1T will be heard from again." as
serted NIcDougald, who is affiliated
through his building trades council and
other connections with the Asiatic ex-
clusion league of San Francisco THAT
resolution must be passed. Every one
in the state would want to see it
passed, and it is entirely right for this
order to take it UP. This is an order
devoted to the welfare of California
and as such it is highly proper that
we pass this resolution and have the
order send a memorial to congress,
petitioning for a Hindu exclusion bill
IF this resolution has been thrown
in the waste paper basket I will see
that IL is pulled out Why it has al
ready been included in the minutes of
the day and will surely come up"
SENT TO COMMITTEE
The resolution was not thrown in the
waste basket. but was assigned TO COM
mittee on the state Of the order.
As a special order of business, nomi-
nations for grand officers were made at
o'clock this afternoon.
The election will be held by the Aus
tralian ballot Thursday.
At a morning session of the grand
parlOr a warm debate was held on the
- resolution introduced by the grand sec
retary to govern the visiting of parlors
by the members of the visiting board
which shall consist of the following
oflcers-the grand vice presidents and
the members Of the board of grand
trustees There was considerable COM
plaint to the effect that the officers
whose duty it has been to visit parlors
had neglected their work in the past.
The resolution, as adopted today, pro-
Nloed lnat each memDer OF the visiting
board must visit the parlors assigned
10 him at least once during the year
and at least 60 days prior to the time
at which the grand parlor meets. The
resolution carried this disciplinary
clause.
PENALTY FOR NEGLECT
The failure on the part of any men,
Der OF the visiting board to visit the
parlors assigned shall make such mem
Der ineligible for any Office in the gift
of the grand parlor, unless an explana-
ton Of the said failure shall be made
