Labor unions in California are again trying
to stir up race sentiment against the japanese,
and the old bill preventing aliens from acquir-
ing real estate in the state is again up at Sacra
mento. Twice before the bill has been started
through the legislature. Once Roosevelt WELD,
ed the big stick and blocked it; the other time,
Taft stepped in and flattened it out with an ex'
hibition of the steam roller tactics he could use
when he chose. The bill is as a red rag before
a bull to the Japanese government, and if it is
introduced now there will be mutterings from
Dai Nippon.
