JOHNSON RETICENT
ON WILSON MESSAGE
Governor Of California Sees No Reason
For Confusion Over Land Law
Within States Right.

AlNnln Stnfe'8 Right.
Sacramento. Calf, April 22.-Gov-
ernor johnson received president VIII
sons telegram Of protest against the
alien land bills at Il o'clock and frnme-
dtately had it copied into a specfaI
ture.
No comment was offered BY the gov
ernOr and the message contains OnIv
a formal preface that the telegram had
been received.
Within Right OF State.
Governor Johnson gave out a state
ment regarding the pending alien land
legislation. This is the first state
ment the governor has made on the
subject:
"CalifOrnians are unable to under
stand why an act admittedly within
the jurisdiction Of the California leg
lslature, like the passage of an alien
land Dill, creates tumult. confusion and
criticism, and why this local act Of
undoubted right becomes an interna-
tlonaI question OF course the Califor-
MA legislature would not attempt to
contraVene any treaty OF the nation or
70 do more than has been done BY the
FEDERAL government itself and many
other states.
ITO say that California must do less.
or be subjected to harsh criticism ana
Ihe charge Of disruptinE friendly re-
lauons with friendly powers, is TO de-
ny TO California what has been freely
accorded to every other state in the
union, and what has never been ques-
toned with any other state"

Another fight was had in the senate
Monday over senate bill No. 26, by
Davis, providing for the immediate
selection Of the million acres Of land
granted in the statehood act to enable
MaricOpa, Pima, COconinO and Yavapai
counties to pay off the railroad bonds
standing against them. When the
smoke Of battle had cleared away the
senators who favor the selection OF
the land and its sale without unneces-
sary delay, had undisputed possession OF
the field.
c. B. Wood, Davis, Pace. Willis,
Breen. Hughes and WOrsley made
strong talks in favor Of selling the
land
H. r Wood, Sims and Roberts made
the strongest talks on the other side.
Sims made the assertion that the
passage of the bill would make ii pos
sible for the four counties to get the
cream of the land in the state for the
purpose Of paving off their bonds. It
was Pima, MaricOpa, Yavapai and
CoconinO against the state, he said.
The statements Of Sims aroused the
ire Of c. B. Wood, who accused the
senator from COchise Of having pipe
dreams"
H. R. Woods amendment to provide
for leasing was defeated, six to II, as
follows;
Yeas-Chase, Kinney, Roberts, Sims, H
r. Wood, Mr. President.
Nays-Breen, Davis, Harrison, Hect-
men, Hubbell. Hughes, Pace, Vessel,
Willis, c. 3. Wood, WOrsley.
The bill was referred to the enrolling
and engrossing committee and the next
time it is up It will be for third read
ing and final passage.
Land Commission Measure.
In the morning house bill No. 80,
making an appropriation for the land
commission, was adopted Brown voted
against it because he regarded it as
too wide open" The bill makes an
appropriation Of $4,000 to pay the
salaries of the three commissioners for
two years $4,000 to pay the salary of
the chief clerk and as much more as is
necessary to pay for travelling, clerk
hire and incidental expenses.
I am not opposed to the land COM
mission, but I do oppose giving the
commission power to expend as much
of the states money as it sees fit,
Brown explained
Sims was alone in his opposition
when senate bill No. "a, by Willis, was
placed on final passage. 1t provides that
the state may select other lands in
lieu Of school lands occupied by squat
ters who settled on them when they
were unsurveyed- surprising them to be
part of the public domain.
Three senators voted against No. IS,
by senator LOvin, requiring that when
labOrers are paid in checks the checks
be on banks within the state.
Modified Miners Law.
Brown, Davis, HubbeI, Sims. c. 3.
Wood and Worsley voted against No.
-, by senator Hughes. which provides
for the submission of a modified miners
lien law to the people at the next gen
eral election. Thirteen votes were cast
for the measure.

working cOnvicts on roads, was finally
passed, with Davis, Vessel and c. B.

Mileage For Lawmakers.
Whether the legislators who did not
return to their homes after the last ses-

that attorney general Billiard is ex-
pected TO render today.

for mileage at 20 cents q. mile, which
is the allowance made by law. Auditor
J. c. Callaghan is doubtful if they can
claim mileage when they did not leave

WASHINGTON SEEKS TO AMEND
ITS ALIEN LAND V,AVUS

Seattle, Wash, April ga proposed
amendment to the state constitution
granting all aliens the right to ACQUIRE
and hold urban property will be voted
on in the general election in 1914. It
was submitted to the people by the last
legislature.
The constitution now prohibits own
ership of land by aliens others than
those who have declared their inten-
ton Of becoming citizens OF the United
States.
When the amendment was framed It
contained limitations which would have
barred japanese and Chinese from own
ing land, but the language Of this sec
ton was altered on protest from the
state department.

Tariff Hearings by Senate.


Democratic forces in charge of the
tariff revision in the senate, slightly
yielded 70 the demands for hearings
upon tariff schedules In addition to
the permission given all interested par
ties to file further statements with
the finance committee, senator Sim
mons conceded to a group Of western
senators the right to appear and state
their arguments against the free wool
and free sugar provisions that have
been agreed TO by the Democrats OF
the house.
The senate leaders have given up
hope Of having the bill brought into
the senate in the form Of separate
schedules. The hearing to be granted
TO the senators from Rocky Mountain
and Pacific coast states, upon wool and
sugar issues. is expected to develop the
full strength Of the opposition to the
bill and TO give the finance committee
definite Information as to whether IL
will be necessary to restore any Of the
duty on these schedules

Republican senators succeeded IN
temporarily delaying the action On
many OF president Wilson's appoint

session. The Republicans objected
to practically all civil appointees eX-

Paid Scott $4,000 for a Poem.

What is the highest price ever
paid by publisher for a poem? 1t
would be interesting to know whether
any advance has ever been made on
the $4,000 that Scott received for
"Rokeby." Stephen Gwynn, in his life
of Moore. tells us that Murray offered
$4,000 for the copyright of "LaIla
Rookh," "but Mocre's friends thought
he should have more and, going to
Longman, they claimed that Mr.,
Moore should receive no less than
the highest price ever paid for
poem. That said Longman. was
$4,000 paid for "Rokeby."' On this
basis they treated. and Longman was
inclined to stipulate for preliminary
perusal. Moore, however, refused,
and the agreement was finally word
ed: That upon your giving into our
hands a poem of the length of "Roke-
by" you shall receive from us a sum
of $4,000"
