longs Chiefly to President Wilson.
Senator Simmons Announcement.
Washington, June 4.-Reversing its
former action in voting 10 place
wheat -four, oatmeal and fresh meats
on the dutiable list, the senate finance
subcommittee in charge of the agri-
cultural schedule voted to place live
stock, wheat and oats on the free list.
Under the Underwood bill as It
stands now cattle, sheep and hogs are
taxed 10 per cent and wheat and oats
10 cents a bushel
Thus the demand Of the northwest
ern millers that the duties on grains
and the duty on flour be "equalized"
has been now met by making both
free. In like manner there has been
an equalization as regards live stock
and meats by putting them both on
the free list.
This is the most important move in
the interest of the consumer that has
been made since the Underwood bill
left the house, and the credit for it
belongs chiefly to President Wilson.
He has stood for the free listing of
grains and of cattle and other meat
producing animals in the face of
great opposition from the farmers of
the country. 1t was this feature of
the Canadian reciprocity bill that
brought a flood of protests in upon
President Taft, and it is predicted
that Mr. Wilson will be now subject.
ed to the same kind Of pressure.
Just about the time that the an.
nouncement Of this important change
was being made the department of ag.
riculture was suing a statement
which forecasted that the price of
beef and other meats of this country
will increase steadily unless the
American people learn to conserve
the supply.

Japs Send Fresh Protest Against
California Law-WilsOn and

Emphasis Of the Latest Note stIl Re.
mains On the Broad Racial Cues
tion Involved - Dissatisfaction OF
Japan With the American Reply to
the First Note Also Made Clear
Cabinet to Discuss Case.
Washington June 5. - The latent
japanese issue confronting the Unit.
ed States over the California alien
land law was revived by the presenta-
tion OF the second Japanese note in
the controversy Viscount Chinda,
the japanese ambassador, handed to
Mr.. Bryan a long communication
from his government, in which a
fresh appeal is made to the United
States for the notification OF the Cal
ifornia statute.
Mr.. Bryan discussed It with the
president today and it probably will
be the chief topic at the cabinet meet
Ing tomorrow.
Though the Japanese government
looks to the federal government TO
render the California statute invalid
by some means, and to that end dis.
cussed in the note presented the legal
aspects Of the situation, the emphasis
Of the Japanese protest still remains
on the broad racial question involved.
The japanese ambassador made 1t
clear to Mr.. Bryan that he and his
government still consider the racial
discrimination involved as greatly
overshadowing the legal phases of the
matter.
The dissatisfaction of Japan with
the American reply to Japans orig.
inal protest was likewise made clear.
The Japanese note informs the Unit.
ed States that the Tokyo government
will not condescend to seek repara.
ton in the federal or state courts Of
California This was practically the
only solution Of the question offered
Japan in the note of Mr. Bryan, to
which the communication just pre-
sented by Ambassador Chinda is a
reply.
The ambassador again made it
clear that his government will con-
sent to look only to the federal gov
ernment of the United States for re-
lief from operation of the California
statute. What the Japanese desire is
that the Washington government
shall institute proceedings through |
the courts to attack the California
alien land law. The Japanese en-
bassy here has made a thorough |
search into all cases bearing in any
way upon the present issue, and has |
brought this acquired knowledge to |
bear upon the state department. Tho |
fact that President Roosevelt, when |
the Japanese school problem was the
question of agitation in California,
threw the influence of the federal ad- |
upon the side of Japan,
is called to the attention of Mr..
Bryan.
