CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS FRAME
DRASTIC MEASURE AGAINST
THE JAPANESE.
PRESIDENT IS IGNORED
NO ALIEN INELIGIBLE TO cITi-
ZENsHlP CAN ACQUIRE LAND,
is SUGGESTED LAW.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Sacramento. Calf, April 22.-Two
new bills dealing with the question Of
land ownership ty aliens in California,
each representing the view of q 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. a dras-
tic law directed solely against the
Japanese and Chinese will be pro-
posed as substitute for the Thorn >
son-Birdsall measure, and probably
will be passed. If not, an end will
have come to the anti-slien 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 simple prohibitions:
1.-No alien who is ineligible to
citizenship shall be permitted to
acquire and hold land in Cali
fornia for period OF more than
one year after date of such acqui-
sition.
2.-No corporation, the majority
Of the stock of which is held by
aliens who are ineligible to citi-
zenEhip, shall be permitted to ac-
Quire and hold land except for
one year.
Agreed on this procedure are Sena-
tor A. q. Boynton, president pro tenn,
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
as standing against the words "ineli-
gible to citizenship" in describing the
aliens whom 1t is sought to restrict
The plan is in direct opposition to
the suggestions contained in the tele-
gram received by Governor Johnson
from Secretary Bryan of the State De-
partment, and the Democrats have de-
cided to offer bill which will con-
fine the restriction to "aliens who
have not declared their intention to
become citizens according to law"

The farmers OF the Macoun district
are now in the midst OF their harvest
and the crop Is one OF tho largest
they have had for the past ten years
Plenty OF moisture early in the season
has matured one OF the largest yields.
We. ourselves. are harvesting go acres
OF wheat that will average thirty bush
els to the acre. 1t Is as fine a field
as you ever saw. The price at Winnipeg
is So cents. This crop Will bring US
$26.50 per acre. which will nearly pay
for the land. Many farmers have gone
to this district and paid for their land
out of their crops in two years. This
year the first crop will pay for tho
land
If you are looking for an invest
ment there Is no place as safe as land
that will yield. wheat thirty bushels to
the acre. and oats eighty to ninety.
You not only receive big crops but
your land Is rapidly advancing In price.
We have taken many farmers to tho
Macoun district and they are making
their homes there. Undeveloped land
will soon be a thing OF the past. AZ
soon as this is accomplished. land that
is selling for $40 today will be worth
$50 to SIS. The development that Is
now going on in the Macoun district
will surely bring the lands UP to this
price.
