IDAHO EXTENDS AN
INVITATION TO THE JAPS

If the japanese are driven out Of
California as a result of the interna-
tional complications that have arisen
over the holding of real estate by the
aliens. they may come to Idaho and
hold all the land they are able to pay
taxes for because the last session of
the Legislature repealed every law in
tended to bar them from this privilege.
The discovery was made by Attor-
ney General Peterson when he reeeiv-
ed message from Governor Johnson
Of California asking him as to the
status of the Idaho law on this sub
iect. On the receipt of this message
the attorney general made a hurried
investigation to learn that the legis-
lature last winter repealed sections
26l0, covering this subject. Just
now when California is at work to de-
prive japanese and Chinese from hold
ing title to real property in that state
and when the administration at Wash
ington is doing all in its power to
avoid drifting into awkward interna-
tional complications with Japan as a
result. this action of the Idaho legis-
lature takes on a special interest.
Japan anu 'NlHd were nol PitNtHi III
the minds of the lawmakers when they
acted on the subject last winter. They
had in mind foreign capitalists who
were looking this way for avenues in
which to invest their money. 1t is ex-
planned that one corporation in Bel
gium with Sl,250000 available capital
was anxious to establish a colony
here on one of the big irrigation pro-
jeets, but that the colonists refused to
come unless they could acquire title
to their land at once, even before be-
coming citizens.
Acting upon recommendation OF
the governor the Legislature lost no
time in wiping the law on the subject
from the statute books. One of the
sections repealed contained the follow
ing:
"That Chinese or persons of Mon
golian descent not born in the United
States, are not permitted to acquire
title to land or any real property un-
der the provisions of this and preced-
ing sections
The governor signed the repeal bill
and it became effective May TO-
