PRESIDENT FIRM
IN HIS POSITION
ON ALIEN ISSUE
CONTINUED from First Pageo

shall own property within the state, Sem
| ator Works warned the federal govern
ment that the state would sooner or lat
err have such law. even if it conf1icted
with any treaties which the United States
might make.
His statement was as follows:
Every state m the Union has the
right to provide by law who shall hoid
and own lands within the state. and to
except aliens from that right. num-
Der of the states have already done SO.
The national government has no right to
enact any law or make any treaty that
will deny or impair that right on the
nor and the legislature of the state OF
California are strictly within their rights
when they insist upon enacting an alien
law whether it excludes citizens of all
or one any number of foreign ma
tons.
State Not Bound by Treaty.
IF the national government has made
treaty that infringes upon this right,
the state is not bound by it and may
enact such law Notwithstanding. On
| the other hand the President is strictly
within his rights in endeavor.ng to per-
suade the state to waive it's rights tind
respect treaty made with foreign
nation. Then it becomes a matter not
Il am sure the state of California has
no disposition to do any act that would
be violation Of such a treaty, II done by
the national government. But neither our
own government nor a foreign nation
has any right to coerce a state to prevent
lawful legislation by it and self-re-
specting state should submit to any such
coercion dictatiOn coming from either
source.
1.-The people of this country and the
Japanese government may just well
| understand. once for all, that such SUBJ
jects of that nation as are coming to
California are extremely objectionable to
our people for good and sufficient reasons
that | need not enumerate, and that
their permanent ownership of land in the
state will not long be allowed. The state
has the right to prevent ii and will do
SO just as Japan has the right to prevent
land there or to limit that right, as II has
done.
Alleged Usurpation of Power.
IF there is any treaty between the two
countries that will prevent the state OF
California from enacting such effective
alien land laws as it desires then this
country owes it to that state. especially.
and to the whole country to abrogate the
treaty. To enter into any treaty with a
| foreign nation that denies. limits or IN
any way aDriOSeS the coHStitutloHdi "
| inherent rights of a state is plain usur-
patton of power. Whether. as matter
of policy the state of California shall
withhold or temporarily suspend action on
| this important matter rests with the law
making power of the state and may well
be left there.
1 But ii is too evident to admit OF doubt
that such a law will be passed in that
state, as it has been in others. and the
national government may as well recog-
nize and accept that fact and act accord
! ingly."

members of the California legislature.
Secretary Bryan arrived in Sacramento
at 9 o'clock and shortly after IL O'Clock
the first session of the conference began.
Until the doors OF the assembly cham

Bryan refused to give any linking of his
message to any one.
Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the state $
right to act in manner 1T saw mt. but
suggested several! alternatives to the
passage of a bill restricting aliens in
eligible to citizenship basing his rea-
sons on the broad foundation of public
policy.

Queries by Members.

During the argument Assemblyman
Sutherland asked:
What assurance can the federal gov
eminent give us, Mr.. Bryan, that il ac-
ton by the legislature is delayed the
same end can be reached through
diplomatic effort?"
Secretary Bryan replied:
Il am sorry, but l cannot answer as
fully as you might like. Until just
before / started for Sacramento it
looked as though the words ineligible
to citizenship were not to be used. 1t
was only when representations came
indicating that the use of these words
was contemplated that the President
communicated with me. and since then
/ have had no opportunity to discuss
the bill in detail with the Washington
representatives of the Japanese gov
eminent.

Bryan's First Conference
With California S0IonS
Fails to Change Situation

SACRAMENTO, Cal. April 29.-With
the sentiment OF the progressive republic
an ma jority toward anti-alien land leg
islation virtually unchanged by the rep
reservations made yesterday by Secretary
of State w. j. Bryan on behalf of Presi-
dent Wilson, the California legislature
faced today a second broadside of argu-
ment from the head of the State Depart
ment.
What form the objections of the federal
administration would take was not known
early today, for Secretary Bryan had not
made public the contents of his kilograms
from President Wilson. received in an
swer to the questions propounded by the
Secretary after the close Of the confer
ence last evening.
Since his arrival yesterday morning the
Secretary Of State has declined to make
any statement except in conference with
the governor and members of the legisla-
ture.
Dissatisfaction over the principal
plan for the solution of the alien land
problem put forward by Secretary
Bryan was expressed both by republic
ans and democrats. Secretary Bryan
suggested that the state permit the
matter to be taken up by the diplo-
matte corps and settled possibly by
means of new treaty.

After inquiring what kind of a law
would meet the approval of the federal
administration and receiving no definite
reply, Assemblyman Sutherland asked:
Can we pass any kind Of law that
would accomplish our purpose and would
not, in your judgment, be offensive to
the Japanese government"
That is a new proposition. replied
Secretary Bryan, land / would not like

First Conference Fruitless.

The conference between Secretary of
State Bryan and Gov. Johnson and the
members of the California legislature over
proposed anti-alien land laws ended last
night with the conference adjourned to
await replies to messages sent to WASH
ington last night by Mr.. Bryan.
Stating his position to the conference.
Gov. Johnson said, in part
1.-The bill proposed for passage by the
California legislature can call forth no
Just criticism from the national admin
istration nor from any foreign nation.
Here in California 1t is not question of
whether the Japanese government takes
offense at what we DO. but whether we
give that government just cause for
offense. I do not believe the proposed
law prohibiting land ownership by aliens
who are ineligible to citizenship gives the
japanese just cause for taking offense.
IF their dignity is threatened, they
should have protested when Washing
ton and Arizona passed laws similar to
that which We now propose to pass
Rights Of State Admitted.
as a state, may enact rigid land law
barring orinetals from ownership, but
such action would be against the earnest
wish OF the national administration.
This is the substance of the message

Tax Commission Instructs Assessors
How to Value Property.

Denver.-"Let no guilty nickel es-
cape" is the motto of the Colorado
state tax commission, which has issued
books of instruction for county asses
sors. telling how they shall go about
the assessment of property. Some OF
the instructions to the assessors fol-
low: Find every person having prop
erty. Large numbers possessing only
personal property are now never visit
ed by the assessor. In case person
claims he has no taxable property
have him take oath in the schedule to
this effect. Have each taxpayer swear
to his schedule. Require complete
schedules from corporations and se-
cure an affidavit to the schedule. Coal
and other mineral reserves should be
assessed. They are frequently owned
by others than the owners of the sur
face rights and immense value In this
way escapes taxation. Assess poultry
and bees. Inquire of each taxpayer the
amount of this property he possesses.
Assessors are instructed to use more
care In taxing money, notes, stocks
and bonds. The commission expresses
the opinion that great amounts of such
property now escape taxation.

scientific purposes he wants to be the

when they uncover the limestone foot
wall the ore will appear in bedded
masses, and that the Lady Belle will
prove to be like the Silver King at
Park City, Utah, which has produced
$40 100000. He expects the copper.
which now shows in the ore to turn to
lead with greater depth.
Prospectors have been passing this
sort Of formation by and the chances
for new strikes seem unlimited unless
this is a freak formation that may
never occur again. The SHOWS are 60
ing rapidly and the hills are beginning
to fill up with the tents of prospec-
tors.
That this is not to be a one-mine
camp seems assured by the announce
ment that a mile and half northeast
OF the Lady Belle ore has been opened
in the Little Mary that runs $3.50
ton. Also in the North Dakota claim.
just above the Lady Belle the same
ore seems to be coming in, which will
probably make another bonanza.
A line Of hacks Is running to the
mining district, only seven miles away,

ted on corner Of his ranch just be-
low the Lady Belle. A small hotel is
being erected there. None of the
features commonly incident to a min
ing camp. such as gambling and sa-
looms. has as yet sprung up.
That big opportunities lie at the
door of every man living in a mining
country is proved by the Lady Belle.

Kempf has ridden 1t hundred times.
