JAPAN'S ANSWER
IS NOW AWAITED
THAT Is THE NExTasTEP IN THE
ALIEN MATTER AND COUNTRY
MAY TAKE LONG TINE.

! washington, May 20-With the an
swer OF the United States to It's pro
test in hand, it now devolves upon
the japanese foreign office to take
the next step in the negotiations
over the california alien land act. It
Is expected the forthcoming reioin-
der to Secretary Bryan viii be strong
~ arsumentative and calculated to
result in the conduct of the future
negotiations on a strictly legal basis.
Begin Legal Action.
As it is understood that the state
department is looking to the japanese
government or some Japanese citizen
to test the new law by recourse to
the United States courts, it, may be
significant OF the drawing OF another
issue that the Japanese Ore believed
ment
Rely on United States.
In his protest Of May 8 to the state
department the japanese ambassador
is understood to have made it perfect
~ clear that Japan, finding it impos-
sihle to deal directly with the state
Of California, was relying entirely
upon the federal government to in
sure what he believes to be fair
treatment for lis subjects
Probably that contention will be ex-
tended TO cover the legal test of the
California land law, though the or
dinary procedure in such cases would
be to allow Japanese subject
threatened with eschemmoat Of his
lands. to begin action by application
for an injunction.
Must Wait
Meanwhile, it is expected several
days will elapse before the japanese
re1oinder d received in view Of the
fact that Yen DAYS were taken for
the preparation and delivery of the
American reply to the original pro
test.

ty by Mrs. Gertrude Farrell.
Mrs. Farrell is the wife of J. R.
Farrell of Payette, who after four

ton which confronts us with refer
ence to the problem of taxation.
Taxes cannot be reduced by law
except by arbitrarily reducing the
levying power to a point which may
prevent all progress. Our present rev.
enue law will give US equitable taxa
tion when once it is in proper opera
ton; and this is the most which can
be expected from any revenue law.
In order to reduce taxes we must
either spend less money or else ac-
quire more taxable property; and
since our government can do little to
increase taxable wealth, we must cen
tralize our efforts on reduction Of
public expenditures. This effort must
be general to be effective"

A CLEAN CITY
Deputy Inspector Praises Sanitary
Conditions in Emmett

B. R. Harris, deputy state pure fooc
inspector, made thorough inspection
of the business houses, eating houses
and public buildings last Friday and
gave Emmett clean bill of health
More than that, he highly praised san
itary conditions in the schoolhouses
and declared that Emmett stores were
the cleanest and neatest of any in
the state. That is pretty fine COM
pliment.
He was so we'll pleased with condi-
tions in the High school building that
he wrote the following commendatory
letter to Douglas Knox, chairman of
the board of trustees:
"Today l made thorough inspec-
ton of your school buildings, and /
commend you very highly for the
complete equipment you have. The
fire escape is splendid. l wish also to
add that you are very fortunate in
securing the services of your able
superintendent, George D. Knipe. He
is certainly live one, originating
many ideas himself for better venti-
lation and very fine system of keep
ing the records. Withal l am well
pleased. The system of maintaining
the very sanitary condition by the old

WILL REVISE CHANGE
OF GRADES
City Council Hears Complaint
Regarding Drainage-May
Lower Sidewalks.

At Monday nights meeting OF
the city council protests were
made against the grade of the
streets established by former
City Engineer Fred Wilkie. AS
result of the protests and the
apparent damage to property
owners as well as to the city it
is probable that new grades to
conform to the lay of the land,
instead of an absolutely level
grade, will be established. If
such action is taken, the city
will be put to the necessity of
tearing out cement sidewalks at
the Christian church, the Finley
Monroe and L. D. S. church
block and the J. L. Reed and
Presbyterian church block. The
city engineer was instructed to
survey the natural drain that
flows through the city southwest
to Sand Hollow and establish a
grade so that no obstruction
may be caused to this natural
drainage way.
w. j. Logan requested the council
to render financial assistance in plac-
ing the irrigating ditch that runs
along Park street in D. & C. addition
under ground. C. L. Martin, who is
the owner of large water right in
the ditch was present and stated that
he had no objection to the change,
provided his water was not interfered
with The council promised support.
Hugh Maynard asked permission to
hang sign over Commercial avenue
in front of his place of business. The
request was not granted.
Frank Berry and Mr.. Brown sub
mitted proposition that if the city
would furnish the pipe, they would
dig the trench at their own expense,
thus extending the city water service
to their residences north of the ca
nal. A quarter inch pipe will
be used. The city agreed to the prop
osition.
Mayor Cummings stated that it was
possible to save the city $3.50 per year
by reducing the pay of the night mar
shall from $75 to $50 per month. The
mayor started something when he
broached the subject, and the discus
sion waxed warm for nearly an hour.
Councilmen Barbour and White insist
ed that no favoritism be shown; that
if the night mans pay was to be re-
duced, the day mar should be treated
likewise. The sentiment of the 9TH
er councilmen seemed to be against
the mayors economy plan, and the
matter died a-borning.
