CALIFORNIA LEGISLATOR FRAME
DRASTIC MEASURE AGAINST
THE JAPANESE.
PRESIDENT IS IGNORED
NO ALIEN INELIGIBLE TO clTj.

Is SUGGESTED LAW.

Western Newspaper Union Eews Service
Sacramento. Calf. April 22.-Two
new bills dealing with the question Of
land ownership ty aliens in California,
each representing the view of con-
siderable faction in the Legislature.
will be offered and voted on by the
Senate
Through an agreement reached by
leaders Of the majority party. dras-
tic law directed solely against the
Japanese and Chinese will be pro-
posed as q substitute for the Thomo-
son-Eirdsall measure, and probably
will be passed. II not, an end will
have come to the anti.elien land legis-
lation at this session. floor leaders de-
clare.
1t Is now planned to throw out en-.
tirely the guarded language OF the
Thompson-Birdsall bill and put in Its
place two sim pie prohibitions:
mo alien who is Ineligible to
citizenship shall be permitted to
acquire and hold land in Cali
fornia for a period Of more than
one year after date Of such acqui-
sition.
2.-No corporation, the majority
of tho stock OF which Is held by
aliens who are ineligible to ciu-
zenEhip. shcll be permitted to &C
quire and hold land except for
one year.
Agreed on this procedure are Sena-
tor A. q Boynton. president pro TEN.
and floor leader Of the upper house.
Senator Lee c. Gates, chairman OF the
judiciary committee; Senator r. w.
Thompson. chairman Of the committee
on revenue and taxation. and others.
They will be opposed by several Of the
Democratic leaders who expressed
themselves on the floor Of the Senate
az standing against the words "ineli-
gible to citizenship" in describing the
aliens whom 1t 10 sought to restrict.
The plan Is In direct opposition to
the suggestions contained in the tele-
gram received by Governor Johnsou
from Secretary Bryan Of the State De-
partment, and the Democrats have de-
cided to offer a bill which will con-
fine the restriction to aliens who
have not declared their intention to
become citizens according to law"
