SENATOR NEWLANDS IS OPPOSED
TO NATURALIZATION Of ALIENS

the interior Senator Newlands said:
: -tThe bill which ! have been urging
for many years for the organization
of an Interstate Trade Commission IS
not similar to the Industrial commits
sion urged by the Progressive party
platform The latter proposes the
general regulation of large business.
The commission which have in view
would have nothing to do with the
regulation of prices, but would be a
non-partisan organization for the pur-
pose of bringing all big business cor
porations in harmony with the law
first. through the evolution of judicial
investigation similar to that of the
Interstate Commerce Commission:
second, by findings and orders pre-
scribing the things to be done in or
der to bring the big corporations in
harmony with existing law; third, by
prosecutions in the courts, il the big
corporations still continue recalci-
trant; and, fourth, by aid to the courts
in the enforcement of their DEGREES.
ct substitutes for the shifting and
varying policies of the Attorney Gem
erals office, in the enforcement of ex-
passed, the steady and continuous adj
ministration OF a partisan board,
with traditions, precedents and con-
tinuous policy.
Such a board. in my judgment, will,
without disturbing readjustments of
business, so enforce the laws. present
and future, regarding big business, as
to produce no serious financial read
justments
Hopes for Industrial Court.
Discussing his amendments TO the
Hrdman act, under which representa-
tlyes of the railroads and their en-
|ployes are now endeayoring to arbi-
trate their differences, Senator New
lands said:
THE bill which have Offered re-
.arding Cancellation and arbitration
between railways and their employees
IEinply means the enlargement tf the
Erdman act by providing for an indie
pendent board of, mediation not con-
nected with any political department;
increases the number of arbitrators
and enlarges their functions.
1t organizes the tribunals, both of
cancellation and arbitration. which
will settle disputes between corpora
tons and their employees, just as the
railway commission settles disputes
between the corporation and shippers.
My hope is that by gradual pro-
cess of evolution industrial courts will
be established that will win the conf
dence of the wage-earners, and will
settle all disputes between them and
their employers where the employ
ment is interstate in character, and
that there will be a similar evolution
in State legislation with reference to
purely State commerce"

In an interview given IN the San
Francisco Bulletin, United States Sen
atcr Francis G. NewIands of Nevada
takes his stand squarely against the
naturalization of aliens who do not be-
long the the white race, and in favor
of measures to prevent in this country
any mixture of races differing in color.
Senator Newlands is ere of the mos
influential Democratic members of the
senate, where he has served for ten
years. He is in ykn Francisco for q
short visit. and is staying at the Fair
mont hotel.
Answering question regarding the
alien land law and the problem back
Of it, Senator Newlands said.
Il believe that immigration to this
country, except for purposes of com
merce. education and travel, should be
confined to people of the white race.
and that we should confer citizenship
upon none but people of the white
race.
II also believe that we should write
the word white in our constitution.
and restrict suffrage to the people of
the white race. at the same time max
ing humane provision for the indus
trial training and education Of the
blacks within our borGers in such a
way as to aid them in maintaining, at
sore time in the future, an Individual

ton to some part of Africa especially

Would Deport Negroes.
Il see no reason why ultimately these
unfortunate people. as yet race OF
children, should not be by q gradual
process, extending over many years,
restored to the land from which they
originally cane. and which is now re-
gardef as land CT opportunity even
for white man.
"The whole tendency Is toward race
aggregation, so far as races differing
in color are concerned. The mixture
of races differing in color is the great,
est menace to American civilization,
and We should not only guard against
an increase of it, but, by wise and hui
name policy, diminish the evils under
which we are suffering.
The race question lis a blight to
the south, and unless We take hold OF
it intelligently the segregation will
take place upon our own soil, and the
south viii eventually become almost
exclusively dedicated to the black
race"
Senator Newlands was asked to ex-
plain his plan for the creation of an
interstate trade commission that
would regulate big industrial corpora
tions just as the Interstate Commerce
Commission regulates the railroads.
This plan is strongly Endorsed by such
men as Franklin X. Lane, secretary of

AUTO ACCIDENTS and THE LAWS

Repeated auto accidents in Honolulu have fl
nally worked public sentiment up to the point
where summary action by the authorities is de
manded. The responsibility of the latest driver
who figures in a fatal accident will be determin.
ed by the coroner's jury called on the case. How
ever, the accident has drawn attention to the
need for the most stringent enforcement of the
laws against reckless driving and the ordinance
governing speeding in this county.
What seems to be needed is the automatic en-
fcrcement of a punishment that will be
in proportion to the necessities of the situation,
and that means a serious punishment The
present territorial law, like the present city or
dinance, allows wide latitude in fixing penalty
and no provision is made under the territorial
law for taking away an offenders licenses The
city ordinance, No. IL, which is the general traf
fic ordinance, gives the judge discretion in tax
ing away chauffeur's license If there has ever
been license taken away under this provision
memory does not recall it; and certainly it is
an exceedingly infrequent penalty.
Many cases against offending drivers are
brought under the territorial law instead of I'm.
der city ordinance, and Police Judge Monsarrat
recently had occasion to declare from the bench
that if he had the power torevoke the particular
license under discussion, he would do so, but
that, as the case was brought by the police I'M
der the territorial statute, he could do nothing
with the license.
New ordinances are now being drawn by city
officials with the object of covering what are
claimed to be weak points in the present laws
The weakest point, however, is not in the law
but in securing, working up and handling the
evidence against the offenders. Every case
against reckless driver should be brought I'M
der the city ordinance if possible, so that the
Judge can take away the offenders license if the
offense is a fragrant one.
A meritorious suggestion has been made that
will probably be incorporated in the new ordi
nance, if one is passed 1t is for provision that
on conviction for second offense, reckless OF
needless driver shall be deprived of his license
for thirty or sixty days. With a penalty of this
kind hanging over their heads, the drivers may
exercise more caution than at present.
However, no law should be passed that under
any circumstances can be construed to prevent
the Judge taking away the license on first of
Tense if it seems fit punishment. There have
been offenses in this city so gross that the re
sponsible drivers should have been instantly de
priyed of their right to drive on the public
streets.
