4 Grave Problem.
1T is my desire, most respectfully,
to put the situation from our stand
point, and the views that actuated our
legis,atfre in passing the bill, and
that imnel me TO sanction it. For
many years very grave problem, lit
tie known in the East, has confronted
California, problem the seriousness
OF which has been recognized by
statesmen in our nation and has been
viewed with apprehension by the peo-
pie of this state. When the residence
clause in the constitution of Califor-
MIA was adopted more than thirty
years ago it made the following decla-
ration:
The presence of foreigners in
eligible to become citizens of the
United States is declared to be dan
gerous to the well being of the state
and the constitution shall discourage
their immigration by all means with
in its power
Agitation for Decade.
"Of late years our problem from an
other angle has become acute, and
the agitation has been continuous in
the last decade in reference to our
agricultural lands, until finally af
firmatiye action in an attempted solu-
ton became imperative This at
tempted solution is found in the ac-
tion of our congress in the passage
of the anti-alien land bill. In the
phraseology of this bill, in those
whom it affects, in its scope and in
its purpose we believe we are within
our legal and our moral right, and
that we are doing only what is i'm
peratiyely demanded for the protection
and preservation of our state
