The situation in California over the
Alien Land Law shows to no small
degree one of the worst features Of
the clash between states rights and
the Federal Constitution, which Is
Supposed to govern the states. I'm
less Governor johnson Of California
refuses to sign the bill recently
passed, the United States government
faces some very unpleasant sessions
with Japan In a word, owing to the
absurd states rights doctrine which
has grown with the years OF govern
ment, one state. through unwise ac-
ton, can plunge a whole nation in
war. 1t is hardly fair, however, to

criticise the action Of California With
out knowing the true conditions there
and why that state fears the encroach-
ments Of the Japanese. To the rest
of the states, which, in case Of war,
must share California's troubles. The
Japanese question is no different than
that of Huns and the Italians and
Southern Europeans which arouse
the antagonism of the eastern states.
If the state of California can thus en-
act legislation of national Importance,
then is the whole United States no
stronger than the weakest state in the
Union as far as making treaties and
the protection of foreign citizens is
concerned.

The county should be in a position
from now on to make permanent i'm
provements with regards to the roads
instead of the temporary ones which
have SO far been the rule. The Ques-
ton of replacing any of the present
wooden bridges and culverts with
anything but durable material, is one
worth considering by the county COM
.missioners. At the best such wooden
culverts are good for only five or six
years, repairs needed even within that
time. The replacing with the same
Kind of material means waste of
money in the long run although the
Immediate expenditure is much less
Ia 4 great many states the use OF
wooden culverts and bridges has been
abandoned for those of concrete and
steel. In those states the ends where
the water enters are constructed with
concrete into which are set the ends
of steel pipes which convey the wa
ter under the roads. The steel piping
is galvanized and made to last for as
high as fifty years. With the dirt
packed solidly over the pipes and
smoothed down, an ideal rosdbed
with none Of the projections which al
ways go with the wooden structures
is possible.
Twin Falls county culverts at pres
ent represent, for the most part. a SCI
ries Of hurdles for the teams and au-
tos to leap, at the expense Of the run
ming gear which make the drives
through the country a series Of night
mares. OF course In the early days
with little or no money to do with,
the fixing of good roads was out of
the question, but with larger sums to
do with at present, there should be
permanent road work done wherever
old culverts have to be torn out or
bridges replaced.

at Japanese farmers-is expected by
the press to bring this question up to
the Supreme Court for decision as to
whether such law conflicts with the
treaty of 1911. The point at issue is
whether State has a right under the
treaty to prohibit aliens from owning
land or holding leases for long peri
DDS unless they are prospective citi-
zens. Many American newspapers
outside California argue III the mega
tive, and SO do some Of the Japanese
papers, as we'll as the Japanese Gov
eminent authorities, who. sent Am
bassador Chinda to confer with Sec
rotary OF State Bryan about the affair.
The acuteness of the situation in Call
ifornia is evidenced by a telegram
sent to Congressman John E. Raker,
at Washington, BY State senator j. 3.
Sanford. in which he said that III the
legislature refuses to enact such
law, the people will resort to the in
itiative." Il has been suggested by
some OF the Eastern papers that dis
criminatory land laws would not only
conflict with the treaty. but would
also deprive the Japanese in this
country Of property rights similar to
those enjoyed by Americans in Japan,
to which the Sacramento Bee, one of
the chief supporters of the Progress
sive State Government, makes this
reply: Y
As a matter Of fact, the alien land
bills before the legislature have no
more application to the citizens of
Japan than to those Of any other ma
ton. They conflict with no Japanese
treaty right or obligation, and would
not have the effect Of denying to Jap
anese any right or privilege which
Americans have in Japan.
Furthermore, even President Roos-
evelt and Secretary OF State Elihu
Root, while opposing a bill for sep
arate schools for Orientals, admitted
there would be no cause for interna-
tional objection to an alien land bill,
applicable to all aliens, and said they
did not protest against anything OF the
sort"
The Asahi (Tokyo), one OF the lead
ing independent papers of Japan, not
only protests against the enactment
of the Alien Land Bill, but threatens
retaliation. 1t is quoted as saying
that american advocacy of equality
is a hollow sham" and that "the Cal
ifornians propose to treat their neigh
bors across the Pacific worse than
negroes" The Asahi goes on:
This anti-Japanese agitation will
impress us with keen sense of hui
initiation which will require many
years to efface. Americans must be
prepared for a cool reception when
they come to Japan as tourists or set
tiers"

as a native citizen or subject, submit
ting themselves to the laws and regu-
lations there established"
"The curious notion seems to pre-
vail at Sacramento" remarks the New
York World, that the United States
must be governed by the acts Of the
legislature of California;" and It god5
on to say that "a people with any
sense of humor would stop before
they made themselves ridiculous" and
that II nothing else will restrain the
California Legislature, ut will have
to be taught the meaning Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States" We
read further:
within the borders 81 California
there are 101, 35o,4e0 acres Of land.
According to the census OF 1910, OF
the total population OF 2.377.549 only
41,824 we're Japanese, including men,
women, and children, or less than TX
per cent, of whom only small frac-
ton occupied land. Yet this is the
awful peril which confronts Califor-
mia and has started all the clamor at
Sacramento" ,
1t Is suggested by the Buffalo En-
qufrer that under national persuasion,
California went slow at the time there
was SO much agitation against admit
ting Japanese to the public schools,
and that memory OF that episode
should aid 1t to 90 slow again" The
Indianapolis News thinks that per-
haps the Japanese GovernHaent will
be difficult to deal with, bat hopeful
iy suggests that what rs demanded
B fairness, and this doubtless will be
forthcoming" And some Justification
OF the California viewpoint is made
by the Indianapolis Star, which OBJ
serves that "no State would, of course,
willingly embarrass the National Gov
eminent, but It surely has the right
to guard its own territory from any
peoples 1t deems undesirable by any
legal means"
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-05-09

The Chambers of Commerce of San
Francisco and Los Angeles asked the
legislature not to pass the bill be-
cause it might cause the Japanese
Government to refuse to participate
in the Panama-Pacific Exposition. But
there was no real cause for alarm on
this point, IL we are to believe press
dispatches from Tokyo, which aver
that the officials at the Japanese cap
ital have no intention of withdrawing
from the exposition And the Tokyo
Chamber of Commerce telegraphed to
the California commercial organiza-
tions, thanking them for their efforts
to defeat the measure, and begging
them to continue their endeavors In
behalf of friendly relations between
Japan and the United States. Pre-
mier Katsura's party is reported as
being in favor Of the friendlist pos
sible settlement of the controversy.
The substance of the bill lie given in
a San Francisco dispatch to the New
York Times, dated April S:
\ "As amended, the measure provides
THAT an alien may mold land for one
year, or, In case of minor, for one
year after attaining his majority, but
at the end of that time the property
escheats to the State unless the owner
has become or has declared his in
tenti0n of becoming a citizen of the
United States. An alien gaining land
by; inheritance may hold it for one
year only under the same conditions.
"All property owned by an alien
shall be sold or disposed of within
three years from the passage Of the
act, unless declaration of intention Ia
made, and leases shall run for not
more than five years. Those ia force
when the act Is passed shall be de-
clared void at the expiration OF five
years.
THE provisions OF the act are not to
apply to property acquired prior to
l 81
1894, but the provisions to apply to
| corporations where the majority of
the stock Is held by aliens"
Article of the treaty of 1911, regu-
lating the rights OF Japanese in this
country, is the clause which the Jap
anese, and many of the American
newspapers outside California, say the
lawmakers at Sacramento would viol
I'late. 1t provides that:
'The citizens or subjects of each OF
the high contracting parties shall
have the liberty to enter, travel, and
reside in the territories OF the other,
to carry on trade, wholesale and re-
tail, to own or lease and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses,
and shops; to employ agents OF their
choice, to lease land for residential
and commercial purposes, and gener-
ally to do anything incident to or nee
essary for trade upon the same terms
