Washington S Alien Land Laws

Henry FELTON,, a well known Wash
ington attorney, who is at the ST.
Francis, has the following to say con-
corning the alien land laws of this
state:
Much has been said about the Cali
fornia alien land laws, and yet the
state of washington does not permit
the holding, purchase or the inherit
ance by aliens of lands within our
state. 1t will be recalled by persons
old enough to know of early conditions
that during the territorial days of
Washington we had what are written in
history as Chinese Riots These were
brought about by labor unions. The
Japanese had not at that time come
on the scene. When the constitution
of Washington as state was written
it included an anti-alien law far more
drastic than the one passed by your
state A woman in Seattle who had
accumulated large fortune in real
estate died, and when her will was
offered for probate it was found that
she had always remained an alien. The
state seized the property and, after the
heirs had carried the matter into the
highest courts, the state law and the
states action in this particular in
stance We're upheld.
For the last two years in our state
petitions for a referendum have been
offered to amend the law to enable
aliens to hold land in the cities. Mean
while, Japanese and other aliens can
lease lands, and I might say in this
connection that there are thousands
of acres of land surrounding the prin-
cipal cities of the sound held under
lease by Japanese
ITO my mind every state should pass
laws preventing aliens from owning
farm lands especially. Those aliens
who can not become citizens OF the
United States by naturalization should
be barred from the privileges enjoyed
by citizens. | think further that every
man or woman eligible for citizenship
should be compelled to announce his or
her allegiance before receiving title to
farm lands This country has been
altogether too lax in it's laws concern
ing aliens. There are several countries
today where aliens can not buy land,
and Japan is one of them

TO stranger one OF the noticeable features OF
the city streets is the proper use OF flowers as a
means of attractingsthe eye to shop windows No

custom and might we'll become general as an IN

FERRY T ALES
BY LINDsAY cAMPBELL

VIE members of the summer col
ony. al Mill Valley, having dug up
= the rugs and silver they buried
when the fire that SCARED the noun
tain threatened their homes, have set
| tied down again to enjoy the peace
and beauty of suburban life. The fire
! is out and the work of planting sap
lings to take the place of the burned
trees is under way
The battle with the fire, grim as it
was while it lasted had it's comedy
side and this is now furnishing light
entertainment for the Marin county
contingent of the commuter brigade as
its members swing in their hammocks
under the trees they helped to save.
g g g
One of the prettiest of the fire stories
comes from the head of Cascade can
yon, the wooded glen in which Mill
Valley is located. This story illus
trates the faith that pretty little
maid of six summers reposes in the
omnipotence of that greatest of all
mighty heroes, papa.
If the fire had invaded cascade can
yon nothing could have saved Mill Val
ley and the first house in its path
would have been that of Tony F'reitas.
The fire did come within 200 feet
there only after hard fight. in which
hundreds of soldiers, sailors and civ
ilians participated
After it was all over somebody asked
little. Alice Freitas if she had not been
AFRAID.
Afraid Of what?' the child asked.
"Of the fire Didn't you think 1t
would come down and burn up your
home?'
There was fire. she admitted,
"but we had papa. He was away when
it started but just as soon as he came
home he went up the hill and put 1T
out"

Here is a story that also requires
some faith. 1t comes. from Alameda,
where the Argentine ant maintains
one of its most thriving colonies.
I'VE have ants in Alameda of the
Argentine variety" writes a cores
pondent, and the following incident,
for the truth of which any observing
Alamedan viii vouch, illustrates the
numerical stength and intelligence of
this alien pest. On Santa Clara ave-
nue. between Fourth and Fifth streets,
noticed the other day diagonal lines
that crossed the street at regular and
frequent intervals. There were IS of
these lines in the block. They puzzled
me until | stopped to examine them
and found that they were ant trails.
Ants, millions of them, were travelling
on all the trails in both directions
I'm one of the cutters / found some
crude oil which had been used in dress
ing a patch on the street. With a
stick l carried some of this oil and
dropped 1t across one of the trails.
Travel on this trail stopped at once.
Next day, however. the trail was
open again. The ants did not go
round the oil pool either, but over its
surface-a dry path in direct line with
the original trail had been made with
sand Can you beat it?"

LOBBY GOSSIP
When San Francisco Was a Prairi

j. r. Stephens, chief engineer of the
Missouri Pacific, who is at the Palace,
was in a reminiscent mood yesterday
and he told of the changes in San
Francisco since the time he first came
to this city, 80 years ago. Mr.. Steph-
ems has been all over the world on en-
gineering projects, but, probably his
most exciting experience was when he
witnessed the Jamestown raid, in South
Africa.
In speaking of San Francisco. Mr..
Stephens said:
Il suppose it will sound funny when
| tell you that I was dumfounded when
l saw a cable car for the first time. 1t
was in San Francisco, 35 years ago. I
stood on a hill and saw the car trav-
cling up the steep grade. I did not un
derstand then what made it go, and
after it passed me / went out into the
tracks to see where its motive power
slot and was much pleased with my
acumen when 1 discovered the travel
ing cable. / spent considerable money
riding on the cable cars for a few days.
was here eight years ago. but the
change now is greater than it was at
that time over that of my first visit
here. There sure is some get up and
git to your people out here. The time
will come when you will have subways
and rapid transit systems in San Fran
cisco to take care of the big popula-
tion which is inevitable in the near
future.
There is one thing we easterners
can't seem TO get used to and that is
your money. When l change big bill /
feel lopsided from the weight of the
gold and silver. You havn't got pen
MES out here yet have you? They'll
come some day. / remember when a
two bit piece was the smallest coin out
here and now you have nickels.'

I regard books in my library IN
much the same way that sea captain
regards the charts in his chartroom,
writes Jack London in the Philadel
phia North American. It is manifestly
impossible for sea captain to carry
in his head the memory OF all the
reefs, rocks, shoals. harbors, points,
lighthouses, beacons and buoys OF all
the coasts of the world; and no sea
captain endeavors to store his head
with such mass of knowledge. What
he does is to know his way about in
the chartroom, and when he picks up
a new coast, he takes out the proper
chart and has immediate access to all
information about that coast. So it
should be with books. Just as the
captain must have q well equipped
chartroom, so the student and think
er must have a well equipped library,
and must know his way about that Ii
brary

books; nor can my books cover toe
many subjects. may never read
them all. but they are always there
and never know what strange coast
am going to pick UP at any time j.

 Workouts with the huskies of the local gymnasium, including Herb Cor cister. manager of the club have made Pete out real boxer. He has science is clean fighter and doesn't know when he is whipped. His weight has come down until he will have little the advantage over Frankie Gage in this regard Although he will probably not fight as swift a battle as the F1oren- tine he will make up for it in steam and is at least a match in endurance.
 Gage has been taking it easy since he trimmed McMahn, but has not re faxed the strict rules his brother inn poses when he is waiting for bouts. His light work each day at the club is just enough to keep him in shape with out danger of staleness.
