JAPANESE MAY SUE.

The Eastern press generally. takes
great pains to minimize the facts and
the Importance of the facts, in con.
nection with the reputed small and de
creasing numbers Of the japanese in the
United States. IT is generally held that
the numbers are decreasing rapidly, and
that there is no occasion whatever for
any alarm about the Japanese immipra
ton or increased land holding in Cali.
fornia. And yet whenever any real in.
formation is to be had, that information
always shows that the numbers of jap
anese are rapidly increasing in this
country, and that is the result of all
impartial observation. The New York
| Evening Post of May 2nd had long
article minimizing the japanese sjtua-
tion, and undertaking to show the de.
creasing number Of japanese In this
country and what small proportion of
the land of California il is that they
hold. And yet, the very figures given
show that tho gain of japanese in this
country was enormous between the
years 1900 and 1910. The increase of
Japanese was 1866 per cent, or about
ten times the average increase Of the
whole country. The number of Jap.
anese in this country by the census of
1900 was 24,326, BY the census of 1910
the number had increased to 72,l57,
almost three times as many as in the
first-named year, In the matter OF
and-holdlng, table is given which
shows an increase of almost 1000 acres
held by the japanese in California
counties, in the three years between
1909 and 1912 and yet, in foot-note
of this table this increase is given as
a decrease of 2711 acres A great at.
tempt is made to minimize the agricul.
tural land-holding of the Japanese. and
to persuade the people of California
that the Japanese are valuable business
men and laborers, and ought to be
allowed to remain in the State.
So far as all that is concerned, it is
practically matter of the past The
legislation has been enacted, and Gov
ernor Johnson will undoubtedly sign it,
although he is Withholding his sigma
ture until whatever objections Presi-
dent Wilson may have to offer are
stated; and when Governor johnson
signs the bill, the probability is that a
double case for the U. s. Supreme Court
viii be made, first on the eligibility of
the japanese to naturalization, and sec.
ond on the conformity of this legis-
lation to our treaty with Japan. This
is the right of the Japanese, and it is
also the right way TO proceed.

RAILROAD RATE CASES.

Two important railroad cases are
pending in the Supreme Court of the
United States. The one known as the
Shreveport case was ruled upon few
dsvs ago by the Commerce Court. That
ruling affirmed the jurisdiction Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the
case. and also its order with regard 10
the enforcement Of the interstate rules
and obligations as against conflicting
rules and obligations in the State of
Texas The points in the ease are very
similar to those Of the Minnesota case,
which is also pending in the Supreme
Court. In both cases the State Railroad
Commissions undertook 10 enforce upon
the railroads, within the States, rates
that favored transportation, within the
States of Louisiana and Of Minnesota
respectively The Interstate Commerce
Commission ruled that TO undertake to
enforce rates within State, conflicting
with interstate rates, was n dIscrimina-
tion which could not be permitted; and
that the obligation Of the railroads TO
obey the State regulation would be
voided by their observance of the Inter
state Commerce Commission s orders.
When the Shreveport case was before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
the point OF jurisdiction as between the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the State Of Texas was distinctly raised,
and now the Commerce Court has af-
firmed the position Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. But Justice
Mack Of the Commerce Court made a
reservation that has caused action by
the Attorney General Justice Mack
held with three other members Of the
Court (Which divided four TO three. so
that Justice Mack s concurrence was
necessarily on the point that the roads
acted voluntarily in putting the State s
rates into effect but if they had been
Fcoerced into such action by the State
nc would have held TO the contrary rs
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This position on the part of
Justice Mack in effect challenged tbe
authority OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission to act for the Government
of the United States if opposed by the
government of the State of Texas The
other members of the Court held that

higher charges. But il the action OF the
Texas commission regarding these in
tra.stnte rates is in derogation Of the
regulating power of Congress, the pc
| titioner is not bound by that action but
has the right to readiust its schedule
in conformity with the order Of the In
| terstate Commerce Commission.
In the matter Of coercion, therefore
| if the question is as to the nsuflicicncy
of the authority OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission to act for the Fed
! eral Government. as opposed TO the au-
thority of the Satte OF Texas, it seems
to be the opinion of Attorney General
McReynolds that it behooved the Gov
ernment of the United States to get
| into the case. Accordingly he inter
vened in behalf of the National author
ity as "a friend of the court. - This
intervention, of course does not in any
way go to the facts and figures in tho
case. 1t simply strengthens the posi-
tlon of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by providing for it the Ma
tional backing direct. This intcrvcn-
tion is both in the Shreveport case and
in the Minnesota case, and when the
Court takes UP the cases for decision,
there will be no lack of National au-
thority to back the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the pleas.
1T had been supposed that the inter.
vention made by Attorney General Nc.
Reynolds was by reason of the impend-
ing decision of the case by the u. s.
Supreme Court. This, however does not
seem to be the case. The melting cause
of his intervention was the critical DO
sition of the case in the Commerce.
Court, where Justice Mack held that if
the State of Texas had compelled tho
railroads TO do what in fact they did
voluntarily he would have held that
the authority OF the State of Texas was
ample for the purpose as against the
ruling Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This does not appeal OF the At.
torney General, and he hastens to give
the Interstate Commerce Commission
the backing of the National authority.

PINCHOT'S HARDIHOOD.

II certainly takes good deal Of
cheek on the part of Clifford Pinchot
to charge others with holding up devel.
orments in Alaska There can be no
question in the world but that he is
the chief man who holds up that de-
velopment. He has been at this vicious
business for the last ten years and more
His efforts have held Alaska stationary
for all this time There is no develop
ment, there can be no development, un,
der the conservation policies which he
| is urging so strenously. and upon which
he has got such a firm support through
out the country because Of the lack of
understanding which the people have in
regard to this whole business. He per.
suades the people that they are losing
something if anybody gets hold of any
Alaska coal, timber, OF water power,
when the fact is that nobody loses any
thing, and that nobody can gain any
thing until some one takes hold of
Alaskan propositions and develops them
so rs to foster industry and markets
and create values
Pincbot has been the man who has
so warped the public opinion of this
country that we are denying our own
public domain to our own citizens and
forcing them to go by the thousands
and tens Of thousands over into Canada
to make homes. He has been especially
vicious in regard TO Alaska, so much so
that President Taft was almost afraid
10 do justice in noted case in Alaska
for fear of Pinchot outcry.
And now Pinchot accuses the Gug.
genheims Of being the ones who have
held up development in Alaska. The
Tribune, of course, is neither agent,
friend, nor advocate Of the Guggenheim
interests, but it is amazed to sec the
man who is chiefly responsible for the
paralyzing of Alaska s development and
advancement charge that paralysis upon
the Guggenhelms, or upon anybody else
IT is sheer hardihood on Pinchot IS part
TO do this, because he knows. better
than any one can tell him, that he him.
self is the man who has paralyzed
Alaska s progress and held up its ad-
vaDcement for 10 these many years.

PUBLIC BUILDING GRAFTERs.

IT will be remembered that some
able fire in the New York State capitol.
Priceless treasures Of records and OF
art were lost or destroyed in that fire,
although the building itself, having cost
some $25,000,00o. was supposed to he
absolutely fire proof. That it was not
fire proof was clearly the fault Of the
political grafters who had charge of
the building. The cost Of repairing the
damages Of that fire, saying nothing OF
the loss of valuable material, amounts
to S4,000,000, a sum which, il is Justly
said in New York, would be sufficient
TO build a new capitol in most of the
States.
a more recent fire in that same CAPT
tol viii be made the occasion doubtless
for further graft and contract steals,
We all remember also the frightful
scandals that arose over the furnishing
OF the Pennsylvania State capitol. and
the State was never able adequately TO
bring the real offenders to account by
reason of those scandals, for what does
it amount TO TO put some of the under
lings in jail when the real offenders
escape and when the State RECEIVERS
nothing Of its losses7
There is ono encouraging feature.
however, in this whole business The
grafters arc not able any longer to
cover np their stealings, for newspaper
men are alert and tell all about the
