JAPAN PROTESTS
ALIEN LAND BILL
Complaint On California
Move Formally Lodged
in Washington

WASHINGTON, April 4-The Japa-
nese government has lodged formal
protest with the state department
against the proposed enactment by the
state of California of what It con-
siders anti-Japanese legislation. the
measure prohibiting the alien owner
ship of land in California
1t was learned today that this pro-
test was made nearly fortnight ago.
Secretary Bryan and Viscount Chinda,
the Japanese ambassador, were closeted
for half an hour today at the state
department in a private conference, the
subject OF which neither would discuss.
1t Is known that Secretary Bryan
is giving close attention to this deli
cate subject. studying the history of
the negotiations that took place be-
tween Secretary Root and Baron Taxi
hara in the Roosevelt administration,
when a severe strain was placed upon
the relations between America and
Japan by the attempt of California
authorities to exclude Japanese chill
dren from public schools.
The next step probably will be a
communication from the secretary of
state to the governor of California,
calling his attention to the interna-
tional questions involved in the meas
ures before the Legislature

WOOL, MEATS AND
FOODSTUFFS FREE
BY IRA e. BENNETT

Especial Dispatch to The CaII
WASHINGTON. April 4.-Un1ess the
leaders of the United States senate
accept the conditions imposed by the
house tariff bill. President Wilson. to
use his own phrase, will go to the
mat with them"
The president is tired of dickering
with the Louisiana senator's over free
sugar and he is tired of dickering with
the western senators over free wool.
All through the day many conferences
were held with the president. and
when the senate finance committee was
holding meetings to consider what the
senate should do, he remained courte-
Gus; but finally he decided that the
compromise rate of a cent a pound
on sugar should stand and that wool
should be free, and that the senate
could take it or leave it.
President Wilson does not want to
fight, but he is ready. as he says. TO
''go to the mat with the seven sena
tors who refuse to accept even the
compromise rate OF cent a pound on
sugar and the other senators who re-
fuse to accept free wool
The tariff revision bill was completed
tonight with the exception of a final
decision upon the sugar tariff. From
beginning to end it is measure mod
eled In accord with the ideas of Presi-
dent Wilson. with wool. meats and
many other foodstuhs and clothing
materials on the free list; with low
duties upon all agricultural products
and foodstuffs that are not free. and
with the tariff on chemical, steel and
other commercial products cut far
below the present protective rates.
The senate tariff leaders asked today
for an opportunity 20 study the bill
until Sunday afternoon. They then
will confer with Chairman Underwood
OF the house committee on ways and
means. and later will have a final con-
ference with President Wilson. A
careful analysis OF the senate will be
made in the meantime, to determine
whether free wool. Il cent sugar and
low rates on market basket" products
will prove acceptable to a majority of
the democrats.
DAYS DEVELOPMENTS
Briefly summarized, the tariff devel-
opments of the day were:
President Wilson's ultimatum to SUI
gar interests, that they must agree to
a tariff of one cent per pound for three
years. with free sugar after that time,
or he would attempt to secure free SUI
gar at once
The completion of the bill by the
ways and means committee, with the
exception of the sugar schedule. The
committee is prepared to agree on
free sugar II the president insists.
Income tax rates fixed at one per
cent for all corporation incomes above
$4,000; one per cent on individual in
comes from $4,000 to $4,000; two per

POPE PROTESTS LAWS
THAT CURB CATHOLICS
Plus TELLS Pilgrims statutes of Some
Countries Discriminate Against
Roman Church

ROME, April Pope Plus made
strong complaint today against the
laws of religious liberty existing In
some Catholic countries His declara-
tion came in the course of an address
written by him and delivered in his
behalf to a large body Of pilgrims re-
ceived in the consistorial hall
The address declared in those coun-
tries the laws were intended to work
against the Catholic church, while
plenty of liberty was granted to the
other Christian churches. For instance,
the Catholic church does not enjoy the
liberty TO possess property.
The pope said that the liberty Of
the press was degenerating into IL
cense, and was chiefly employed against
religion.

Out of the stained and yellow pages

issued in 1910 by the secretary of state,
6nd I found this date in the official
statement Of Los Angeles county's re-
sources:
Acreage irrigated. 1909, 1855; acre
age irrigated. 1910. 1ss.50s; included in
irrigation projects, 241.7s4 acres.
For Riverside county the figures
given were 21o.452 acres included in
irrigation projects.
Now in the single Boise valley pro-
ject. partly completed, there are in
cluded 100000 acres.
Mr.. Weymouth was as right in his
data as he is in his construction work.
I do not say there are not now in
Los Angeles county or in Riverside
county more than 100000 acres in
cluded in irrigation projects; but I
have used the latest available pub
lished figures.
UNIT IN GREAT PRODUCTION
Nor do 1 say that the products of the
Boise valley VIII equal those OF Los
Angeles county in their peculiar rich
ness. even when the 100000 acres of
land are under intensive cultivation;
but the point is-Boise valley, one sec
ton Of southern Idaho. one unit of the
vast acreage of irrigated land, is as
extensive as the fabulous1y rich Los
Angeles county district, and as exten-
sive as the fabulously rich Riverside
county district, where the oranges
grow, and agricultural experts assure
me that the soil of this Boise valley IS
peculiarly productive.
The products are not oranges and
lemons and olives and grapefruit: they
are alfalfa (Which is also an important
Las Angeles county produc). prunes,
apfles, pears and peaches.
The climate of southern Idaho is not
rigorous, as a Californian might i'm
agine Southern Idaho has a colder
winter than California. It's spring is
from a month TO six weeks behind our

back, when fruit blossoms greeted me
at Dutch Flat, 1880 feet up on the

than Boise, so altitude isn't the guild
ing factor.
Idaho is in latitude about 400 miles
north of san Francisco. That is what
counts. But the climate of the Snake
river valley is similar to that of CEN
trail California.
To say that one unit of the Snake
river irrigation system is as large an
acreaEe as was included In all of Los
Angeles county and in all of River
side county in 1910 is not to say that
this one unit will be richer than Los
Angeles districts, but it is to say that
