tornia, in the fullness of her right as
q state may enact a rigid land law
barring Orientals from ownership, but
such action would be against the earn
est wish Of the national administra-
ton.
This is the substance of the mes
sage of William Jennings Bryan, sec
retary of state and personal represen-
tative OF President Wilson, delivered
to secret conference attended only
by Governor Johnson, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace and the 12O members
or the California Legislature.
The impression prevailed here,
when the conference adjourned, that
the resolve Of the majority leaders
previously announced. to enact bill
specifically debarring ''aliens ineligi-
BILE to citizenship" from owning land
In California remained unchanged.
Governor Johnson indicated this

Secretary Bryan arrived in Sacra-

Young Of the assembly on the plat
form, Secretary Bryan in brief state
ment asked the conference to tell him
the exact situation.
Senator Boynton, administration
floor leader. outlined the situation, say
ing In part:
"At the time President Wilson's
telegram was received last week. an
nounoing the wish to send Secretary
of State Bryan to confer with this
Legislature, there were two bills on
this subject before the Senate.
ut was apparent that the people Of
the state were strongly in favor Of
the enactment of an alien land law,
and such law probably would have
been passed before this time II 1t had
not been for the telegram from the
President"
After several others had spoken,
many Of them quoting statistics to
show the increase In land holdings by
Japanese during recent years, Secre-
tary Bryan arose.

Wilson. was all Mr.. Bryan had to Of
fer, and the paramount question here
is whether such advice will overcome
the previously announced determine
tion OF the Progressive majority to en-.
act an anti-alien land holding law
along the lines already agreed upon.
Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the
states right to act in T. manner 1t saw
fit. but suggested several alternatives
to the passage of bill restricting
aliens Ineligible to citizenship" bas-
ing his reason on the board founda
tion of public policy. Briefly. the al
ternatives in the order in which they
were suggested are as follows:
/. Delay immediate action and al.
low the State Department to try to ac-
complish the ends desired. by means
of new treaty with Japan.
2. Delay immediate action and ap.
point committee to investigate the
subject OF alien land ownership and
act In conjunction with the President
in securing relief.
8. Enact law similar to the stat
ute in Illinois which permits aliens to
hold land for period not exceeding
six years and applies alike to all
aliens.
4. Enact a law similar to the fed.
eral statute governing land ownership
in the District of Columbia. which is a
general law applying to all aliens.
OF these alternatives, 1t may safely
be said. according to leaders in the
Legislature. that the last two are out
OF the question.
Many Democrats favor turning the
matter over to the State Department
while the Progressive majority appar.
emily remains unchanged In support OF
a bill that would apply It's restrictions
to Orientals alone.
The conference with Secretary Bry.
an served to show the breadth Of the
sentiment in favor OF an alien land
law that shall be effective In checking
the Japanese and Chinese immigra.
tion. A dozen or more senators and
assemblymen declared the people of
the state were almost unit in de-
manding such n law, and It was threat.
ened that unless the Legislature act
at this time, the matter would be
taken up through the initiative and
passed by the people themselves.

sponsibility that is placed upon me. l
do not pretend to do other than ex-
press his views.
"As to the constitutionality of our
treaty with Japan, you will pardon me
II l decline to act as the supreme
court Further. as to the question of
immigration. l think we can consider
that question as independent of the
land question with which we are here
concerned.
Il have listened to what you have
said and l assume everything to be
true; that you have not overdrawn
nor exaggerated the feeling Of the
people Of California.
In that case the first question is
whether the legislation is demanded
at this time. II it can be delayed,
then the first suggestion that the
President would have me make is that
you permit an effort to be made to
deal with the question automatically,
with view to reaching the same re-
suits without legislation.
"If the demand is so Immediate that
this cannot be done. can action be de-
ferred for two years. and in the mean
time have commission appointed to
investigate conditions and act with
the executive? Would It not be worth
while to try this plan before you
adopt the plan that might result in
unfriendliness from a foreign nation?
II am not going to indulge in any
speculations as to what may happen
II you do anything now. but am here
to advise against the use of any Ian
guage that would offend any people
that have dealings with u.s."
In case immediate action was de.
manded. Secretary Bryan said, he
would be in favor Of law along the
lines Of the Illinois law. or the federal
statute In the District Of Columbia.
both Of which are general In char.
acter.
Either Of these measures is prefer
able to language that includes the
words ineligible to citizenship" add.
ed Mr.. Bryan. President Wilson be.
lieves that II you use these words, you
might as well make law declaring
specifically against Japanese and
Chinese ownership.
This expresses the views Of the
President. He desires me to say that
IL such law Is passed, he will recog-
nize his duty as President to do all In
his power to minimize the ill.feeling
that might be aroused. At the same
time, he believes it his duty as Pres
ident to urge earnest consideration Of
his advice. which is given here with
no desire to interfere with what you
may regard as necessary. And further.
he urges that II you proceed at once.
you consider the advisibility OF using
language that cannot be Justly criti-
cised as offending those nations with
whom we are friendly"
Governor johnson made brief, but
intense, speech in defense OF the posi-
tion taken by the majority party in
California. He told Secretary Bsyan
that the right OF California to follow
the lead Of other states was unques-
toned, and declared that such
course now seems assured. When
Governor Johnson took his seat there
was general feeling that the alien
land situation had been settled. re-
gardless Of what may be forthcoming
from Washington.
Secretary Caminetti attempted to
make heated attack upon Governor
johnson. whom he criticised for not
favoring the land bills two years ago,
but was checked on n point OF order.
and the conference adjourned imme
diately.

Denver, April &c. Governor Am
mons signed two economy bills which
were passed by the Nineteenth Genec-
al Assembly. One provides that the
Governor shall have power to suspend
bureaus, boards and commissions of
the state gov ernment when 1t shall
appear to him that there are no funds
Tor the maintenance of the same. The
other bill authorizes the state audit
ing board to transfer employees from
one state department to another. Un-
less referred these laws will go into
effect July IS.
A petition containing 1000 names
asking the Governor to sign the bill
permitting ten-round boxing matches
In this state. has been received by the
Governor.
Numerous protests have been made
against the bill passed by the Assem-
bly, for an enlargement of mining lode
size of claim from 10 to 20 acres.
The Governor is making inquiries into
the merits of the bill.
A delegation headed by E. L. Scholtz
and composed largely of members of
the Denver Retail Merchants Asso-
citation called on the Governor to dis
cuss the bill relating to minimum
wage for women and minors. A num-
Der OF local merchants are decidedly
opposed to the measure. They say
that II the Governor signs the bill he
should be careful as to the appoint
ment of members of the wage COM
mission.
OF the 176 bills passed by the Leg
islature, 70 have been signed by Gov
ernor Ammoas, and four Of the most
important were put into effect i'm
mediately by the saving and emer-
gency clauses. These are for mine
inspection, S-hour working day in
mines and smelters, new highway
commission and state road fund, and
they cannot be referred to a popular
vote.
All measures neither vetoed nor re-
ferred will go into effect July IA.
which will be ninety days from the
Legislatures adjournment.
The boxing, racing, women's mini
mum wage. income tax and blue sky"
bills are prominent among several
measures being held for hearings, and
any Of these until the work Of check
ing over and correcting the long and
short appropriation bills is finished.
The following bill have been signe1
by Governor Ammons: To provide for
appointment of public administrators
by county judges; to regulate build
ing bridges over highways, streets and
alleys; to abolish high school secret
societies; TO reduce the number Of
copies of session laws to be pub
lished; to prohibit scattering broken
glass or other sharp-edged substan-
ces upon public highways; to regulate
the sale of session laws; to classify
Bent and Prowers counties for deter
mining fees and salaries; to create an
equalization board, consisting of the
Governor, Secretary Of State, Attorney
General and Treasurer; to enforce at
tendance OF witnesses and production
of documents demanded by Legisla-
tive investigating committees.
