GENEVIEVE CLARK TO EUROPE
Daughter Of Speaker Says She VIII

going for pleasure trip, for I have
just finished school and l want recrea-

who is nearly my own age. is in

AGREE ON new
ALIEN LAND BILL
Will Not Conflict in ANY Way
With Treaty Rights.
ITS PASSAGE is PREDICTED.
Aliens Net Eligible To Become cit'
zens May Hold Lands To the
Extent Only Provided BY
Treaties In Force.

Sacramento, Cal.-Governor Johnson
and Attorney General Webb have
reached a substantial agreement on an
entirely new alien land bill that will
accomplish every purpose without per-
hitting the slightest question OF con-
fict with the treaty rights.
The prediction is safe that il will
pass both houses and become a law.
The measure was drawn by Attorney
General Webb. II provides that all
aliens who are eligible TO become citi-
zens OF the United States may hold
lands the same as native born citizens.
Next it provides that aliens who are
not eligible TO become citizens OF the
United States may hold lands only
TO the extent and il the manner pro-
vided by the respective treaties now in
force between the countries OF their
nativity and this country, and not
otherwise.
Then follows a declaration that the
bill shall not be construed as sur
render or waiver on the part Of the
State OF California to any extent what
ever OF its rights to regulate for itself
the ownership OF land within its bord-
ers, not outstanding any treaty here
tofore or hereafter made by the United
States.
Attorney General Webb's bill has
met with the approval Of the Cover
nor and is considered q final and very
satisfactory solution for all problems
that have arisen over the Alien Land
Bill here The idea was suggested 10
Webb by Francis J. Henrys proposal
Of a measure that would grant to
ineligible aliens only those rights re-
specting land tenure that are set forth
in the treaty. Henry's bill set forth
the treaty provisions and therefore
pointed too directly to the japanese.
Mr. Webb's solution IS considered q
stroke OF genius.
1t is understood the bill will be sub
stituted for the Thompson-Birsan
measure.
The term ineligible to citizenship"
which is declared by Secretary Bryan
to be odious to the japanese, is not in
Guided in the new bill. Secretary
Bryan declined to comment upon the
new bill except in the conference.

Fiscal System Governing Federal

Banks Revolution
led

Wasaington.-The fiscal system OF
the United States governing deposits
Of Federal funds in national banks was
reyo,uuoaized Wednesday by Secre-
tary NcAdoo, Of the Treasury Depart
meut. with an announcement that all
government repositories. whether &C
tive or inactive. would be required to
pay interest at the rate Of ? per cent.
per annum, beginning June l, upon de-
posts Of the government.
simultaneously with this action, the
Secretary authorized an immediate in
crease OF $I0.000,00Q IN government de-
posts in the national banks, making
the total S52.649.e64. from which the
Federal treasury will earn. under the
new interest order, S1,053.00d annually.
There are indications that Secretary
McAdoo intends TO release still more
surplus money from the treasury
faults and place it in general circula-
ton through increased deposits with
the national banks. IL statement he
said:
With the banks paying interest on
government deposits. the Secretary
may be justified in keeping larger bal
ances in the national banks. thereby
increasing the volume OF money in cir
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up in the treasury"
Securities Acceptable,
Mr.. McAdoo also announced radi-
cal change in the character Of securi-
ties which the Treasury Department
would accept for government deposits.
Instead OF requiring that the national
banks secure treasury deposits ex-
c,usiyely with United States or pro-
yincial government bonds, they will be
allowed in future 10 secure 70 per cent.
with government bonds and the re-
naming 80 per cent with high-class
state, city and county bonds, acceptable
TO the Secretary Of the Treasury, TO be
taken as security at IS per cent. OF
their market value, but not to exceed
par.
This IS the first time in history that
the Treasury Department mas called
upon the banks to pay interest on
what are known as active deposits, or
accepted. except in periods of financial
stress, security other than govern
ment bonds. Active repositories are
those which conduct checking ac-
count for the government, cashing
checks OF the disbursing officers and
replenishing their authorized govern
ment deposits from customs and in
ternal revenue receipts deposited with
them.
There are 900 inactive repositories.
each holding $1,000 of government
funds. Upon these deposits, which are
not disturbed by checking accounts,
the government has drawn per cent
interest for the past five years. These
are the only government accounts
which never have earned interest.
