4 Phoenix, Ariz., May 16.-Goyernor
Hunt signed today Arizona's new
alien land bill. 1t prohibits any alien,
whether of Caucasian or Mongolian
descent, from owing land in Arizona
if he has not declared his intention
Of becoming a citizen.
This not only bars Asiatics, who
cannot become citizens, but also q
large number of wealthy Mexicans
who live on the American side Of the
line, but who have maintained their
allegiance to the government OF Mex
leo.
A vigorous fight was made to have
the bill apply only to aliens ineli-
gible to citizenship, on behaif Of the
Mexican holders Of property in Ari-
zona.
There are few Japanese holding
property in the state, though many
Chinese hold little, and these. like
the non-citizens among the Mexicans,
viii be required to dispose Of the real
estate titles thew now hold within a
period OF five years.
The law exempts only mining
claims held by aliens or real propel
ty necessary to the proper working
Of mines. Representative japanese
conferred with the governor in an ef-
fort to induce him to veto the bill,
but he declined on the ground that
such a law was necessary in the in
