California has the referendum as
well as Oregon and recent develop
ments indicate that this great meas
ure for the benefit of the peepul"
may also be used by Big Business
as well. The California legislative
assembly recently passed an anti
alien land owning law and passed it
in obedience 10 the expressed wish
eS Of the great majority of the peo-
pie. Sentiment in the state was 50
strong for the bill that but very
few votes were east against it. even
after President Wilson. through
Secretary Bryan. had exerted his in
fluence to defeat legislation of this
character. Now comes the informa-
tion that the big business interests
Of California will refer the bill To the
people and therefore hold up its pro-
visions until the fall of 1914. In the
aliens may acquire land
and big business interests will profit .
thereby. II is realized that the bin
will be endorsed by the people by
ln overwhelming majority but the
new-fangled referendum will Stave it
IN until somebody makes a wad Of
money in land sales to japanese gar
ieners at the expense of the Ameri-
IAN farmers of California. This
simply shows what abuse the refer
'ndum Is subject to BY the clever
of the minority. Fine

MISSION THAT FAILED.

From all reports the mission that
sent Secretary Bryan to Sacramento
to protest, on behalf Of the Wilson
administration, failed, and California
has gone on with the program map
ped out and enacted such laws as
she desired regarding alien land
owners. Such outcome will be
looked upon as a distinct failure
of the diplomatic powers of Mr. Bry-
an and his principals. Yet it is doubt
ful is anyone could have brought
sufficient persuasive power to bear
upon California to have caused the
Legislators to retreat from their posi-
ton The demand for the proposed
legislation in California was too
strong to be disregarded, and even if
the Johnson administration had de-
sired to comply with the wishes of
President Wilson, sentiment against
such a course was too pronounced to
be lightly cast aside.
Thus, California insisting on the
doctrine Of states rights, went on
with such legislation as the great ma
jority Of the people Of the state seem
to desire, regardless Of the advice
from Washington, and nothing re-
mained for Secretary Bryan but TO re-
turn to Washington and report to his
chief that he made a little journey to
the Pacific Coast, the results Of which
were mainly confined to a little out
ing and the enjoyment Of some SUI
perb scenery.
The Democratic party has long
been a strong adherent Of the doctrine
Of states rights and is therefore
placed in a delicate position in the
present instance. President Wilson
and his advisers cannot consistently
take the position that California had
10 right 10 enact such legislation as
he deemed proper. and the only
for abrogatiOn Of such lellS-
afive enactment appears 10 be the
LAIN that international treaty rights
isy be involved. This will be a mat
sr for the courts to decide and If it Z
hall eventually be determined that !
