lieves, and no doubt has great
cause to believe, is inilnical to its
social and commercial welfare,
then no other State could pass a
law looking to its betterment
without first having to deal with
international forces and the mem
bers of Congress, and last, but by
no means least, the cabinet and
foreign legations.
The President has sent Mr..
Bryan galavanting to California
post haste and in so doing has
impressed Japan with the idea
that the Federal Government was
opposed to the legislation pro-
posed by California, and this act
of the President has brought forth
from Japan a note signifying its
firm determination to oppose the
California alien land law if one
should be passed. In other words,
the President and Mr.. Bryan, by
their tolerance of Japan'S imperti-
hence towards us, have brought
on us the humiliation of insolent
notes telling us what we may do
without mourning Japan's dis
pleasure.
The article in the treaty of 1911
between Japan and the United
States bearing on this question
reads as follows to-Wit:
"The citizens or subjects of each of the
high contracting parties shall have liberty
to enter, travel and reside in the territories
of the other, to carry on trades, wholesale
or retail, to own or lease or occupy houses,
warehouses and shops, to
employ agents of their choice, to lease land
for residential and commercial purposes
and generally to do anything incident to
or necessary for trade upon the same terms
as native citizens or subjects, submitting
themselves to the laws and regulations
there established"
This makes the matter purely
a judicial question to be settled
by the courts in the event Cali
fornia passes its alien land law.
While it is not expressly stated
that the japanese may acquire
title to lands for farming pur-
poses, still the blanket words "do
necessary for trade"
would seem to cover the right of
purchase. However, Senator Root
thinks otherwise, and in this
opinion he has the concurrence
of other Senators.
But the whole matter is
tempest in a teapot. Japan has
had the pleasure of whacking us
over the head for the second, and
it is to be hoped, the last time.
The treaty with Japan should be
Immediately abrogated for the
reason that Japan has not kept
the faith of the treaty and has
not made it possible by her laws
for Americans to obtain equal
privileges in Japan which Japan
demands for japanese in America.
The people don't want any fur
ther haggling about this and want
the independence of this country
firmly impressed on Japan and
all of its secret allies.
Give Japan the boot, and the
sooner the better.

THE CALIFORNIA MIDDLE

1t is strange that in this day,
the question of state rights is one
that is continually coming to the
front. This time, California is in
the International limelight. Cali
fornia has endeavored to prevent
the Japanese from acquiring a
foothold on its soil and has en-
deavored to prevent the Japanese
children from entering it's public
schools.
The question is not a new one.
Several years ago the school
question was up and President
Roosevelt lost no time in assert
ing the supreme power of the
Federal Government over the
question. But these great public
questions are hard to down and
will appear from time to time in
a new dress. This time it ap-
pears in the effort of the Cali
fornia legislature to pass a bill
preventing the Japanese from ac-
curing lands.
In this simple act, lies the germ
of a great international question
which the best talents of the
world must settle. We content
ourselves with the statement of
the question and some observa-
tons from our own view point.
The Constitution of the United
States has not overlooked this
question. We quote from that
instrument as follows:
This Constitution and the laws of the
United States which shall be made in pur-
suance thereof, and all treaties made or
which shall be made, under the authority
of the United States, shall be the supreme
law of the land, and the judges in every
State shall be bound thereby, anything in
the constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding" Art 6, sub
sec. 2.
When this country was dgitated
by the question several years ago,
President Roosevelt quickly as
serted control of the matter I'M
der a treaty made with Japan.
The question was settled in favor
of Japan. The effort now is to
bring the same question up in a
new form. Whether or not there
is a treaty with Japan which can
be taken as a basis for Federal
Intervention, we know not. I'm
less there is such treaty, it would
appear that the right of the State
of California to determine its
own policy with reference to the
japanese acquiring title to its
lands is supreme, for the United
States has no right to interfere
with the domestic policies of a
State, so long as that policy does
not contravene the United States
Constitution or its laws. So far
as we are advised there are no
such laws in the statutes of the
United States; certainly nothing
in the constitution which prevents
a naturalized or native born Jap
anese from acquiring lands in
this country. ct certainly will
not be contended by any one that
an alien can, as a matter of right,
acquire the title to lands in any
of the States against the will of
the States or the United States
While this particular question
pertains to the domestic polity OF
the State of California, still it
embraces a question that is not
local. If California can not pro-
tect itself in this particular in
stance against a race which it be-

new PAVING BIDS
Topeka to Complete Largest
Contracts i'm History.
Petitions in for Sixty Blocks of
Sidewalk.

The city will advertise next Thurs
day for bids on the final paving work
for the year, and the contracts will
probably be let a week later.
Contractors will bid separately on
the brick and the asphaltic-concrete
paving. 1t will be possible for one con-
tractor to land both jobs. Brick paving
will be laid on West Sixth avenue, be-
tween Kansas avenue and Harrison
street, and in the alley between Ninth
and Tenth streets and Kansas avenue
and Jackson street, and the alley be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets and
Kansas avenue and Jackson street.
Asphaltic-concrete paving will be laid
on jackson street between Ninth and
Tenth street and on Tenth street from
the alley west of Kansas avenue to
jackson street on the north side of the
car tracks.
There are 40 sidewalk petitions on file
calling for between so and 60 blocks of
walks. This week the board of city
commissioners will make a tour of
the city to determine upon which of
the petitions should be allowed and
which should not.
Commissioner Tandy said today: I'VE
have more Improvement work on hand
this season than at any time in my
memory. Contracts have already been
let for the construction of IL blocks of
paving, and then we have on our hands

NO FLOOD GATE BONDS
City Attorney Ralston Says Issue
Would Be Illegal.

There will be no issuance of bonds by
the city commissioners for a pumping
station, flood gates, and sewers. At a
special meeting held Tuesday night by the
board of commissioners and attended by
twenty-five persons w. c. Ralston, the
city attorney, stated that it was his opin-
ion that this could not legally be done.
Mr.. Ralston said: The city has no
power to issue bonds for work on the dixie
under the act specified in the petition.
One of the conditions specified in the act
is that 1t refers to bikes constructed by
the city. The city did not construct the
South side dixie. The city commission
might issue the bonds, but it is my opin-
ion that they would be worthless and no
one would buy them
J. viii Kelley, secretary of the Com
mercial club, urged that expert en-
gineer be engaged to make careful sur
vey of the dixie and submit plan of ac-
ton.
Mr.. Kelley said: 1T doesn't seem in
harmony with the efforts of the business
men to build up Topeka industrially to fail
to take notice of a condition that might
some time wipe out the industrial center
of the city. 1t would be any easy matter
to vote bonds after a flood provided that
the city were held liable for the damage.
My theory has been that the city commits
