Finally, cowed and embarrassed, he admitted before the crowd that he had never bought but one quart of whiskey in that place and that was four years ago before prohibition went into effect.
 Things are growing better all the time, prohibition does prohibit and we have the liquor gang on the run. If Congress will only have sense enough to pass that Kenyon bill we will have the strictest kind of prohi- bition in Georgia"
 To the Taxpayer
 Like war and fire, the liquor traf- i fife is waste. It reduces no wealth i but destroys wealth everywhere. AS a tax-gatherer it turns in less than live per cent of the money collected from the people, The expense of tax ing care of the product of the saloon is always greater than the license money received. The brewer sets rich; the taxpayer foots the pills.

THE CALIFORNIA ROW.

The alien land bill which Is now be.
fore the California legislature has
been radically amended inc it prob.
ably will be amended still further be-
fore 1t passes. AS originally drawn the
bill barred all aliens, who could not
become citizens. from owning or leas.
ing land in California.
As amended the measure provides
that an alien may hold land for one
year, OF, in case Of a minor, for one
year after attaining his majority. but
at the end Of that time the property
escheats to the state unless the owner
has become, or has declared his inten-
ton Of becoming, a citizen Of the Uni
ted States. An alien gaining land by
inheritance may hold it for n year
only under the same conditions.
All property owned by an alien shall
be sold or disposed Of within three
years from the passage of the act. un:
less declaration Of intention is made,
and leases shall run for not more than
five years. Those in force when the
act is passed shall be declared void at
the expiration Of ive years.
The provisions Of the act are not to
apply to property acquired prior to
1894. but the provisions do apply to
corporations where the majority of the
stock 10 held by aliens.
The proposed legislation is due
largely to labor unions and to farmers
in districts where the japanese have
acquired land. The labor union lead
ers hate the japanese because they
work for small wages. The japanese
are not pleasant neighbors in the ru-
raj districts because they refuse to
keep up fences and their methods of
life reduce the value Of adjacent farm
property. California, as a whole do
not believe in this legislation. but
most members Of the legislature fear
the labor unions and will vote for the
bill. Governor johnson appears to IA
vor the measure as amended. and he
is in absolute control of the majority
in the legislature.
