such leases the court shall appraise the
lease, sell the property at forced sale
and pay the value of the lease to the
state The remainder of the proceeds
shall go to the citizen owner of the land.
1t is held that this section of the act
will be absolutely prohibitory upon all
leases of agricultural lands whether for
gardening purposes or otherwise.
According to Senator Thompson who
has made a study of the bill, the theory
is as follows.
"Only citizens and those eligible to be-
come citizens may be proprietors of land.
They may employ Japanese and Chinese,
but they cannot lease or otherwise give
such aliens an interest share in their
propretorship. Such land as is now held
by Japanese and Chinese cannot be be-
aueathed to their alien heirs. 1t must
be sold.
THE practical result of the BILL said
Senator Thompson, will be that all fur
ther acquisitions will be prevented, leas-
ing colonies will be externinated and at
the end of the present generation most of
the land now hela by Japanese and Chi
nese will be owned by citizens.

ON these holdings Eliminating these
shares from consideration, the witness
said that what appeared to be a deficit
of 5000 coo In 1872 would be converted
into an apparent surplus of S325, 900.
Further eliminations agreed to by the
witness reduced the capitalization of the
New Haven steam railroad property to
$3.50, ,o00. coo. which in 1912, produced a gross
revenue of $67 ,359 600. This line of exami-

capitalization had increased only 100 per
cent instead of 100 per cent and that the
gross income had increased more than

In the same nine years, according to the
testimony. the total assets had own

bill. but / do not hesitate to say that

So understood. There was no way to
avoid it
A close study of the Webb bill shows
the full extent of the restrictions placed
upon aliens who are not permitted to
become citizens, although the limitations
are precisely those imposed in the exist
ing treaties between the United States
and Japan, China and other nations
whose subjects are ineligible. In the
case of the Japanese they are prohibited
entirely from acquiring or holding land
for farming or agricultural purposes, and
it is declared the passage of the act
will put an end. not only to the growth
of Japanese farming colonies, but event
ually to the colonies themselves.
Purpose of Act
This purpose of the act is effected in
two ways:
First, on the death of an alien land
owner, the bill provides that his owner
ship ceases, and that the property must
be taken over by the probate court and
sold to the highest bidder. Under its
terms an alien cannot bequeath real
property except 10 citizen. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of such land are
distributed to the heirs by the court.
Second, no leases whatsoever are per-
mittee Originally it was planned TO per-
nit leases covering maxium period of
three to five years, but the Webb act de-
MES this opportunity for colonization by
aliens, and provides that any lease of
agricultural lands is subject to escheat to
the state on the day it is begun. TO
make this more effective the bill pro-
vdes that when suit is begun to escheat
