ASKS GOVERNOR
NOT TO SIGN BILL
Secretary Bryan Wires John
son Of California.
TENSION IS NOT SO GREAT
Postponement of Action on Pending
Measures Somewhat Relieves
the Situation.

Washington, April 20.-Secretary
Bryan telegraphed to Governor John
son of California, requesting him to
withhold his signature from any anti
alien land legislation passed by the
California Legislature which might be
in violation of treaties between the
United States and Japan.
Secretary Bryan declined to make
public the text of his telegram. The
impression prevails that it was the
desire all around not to make public
been presented to an executive SEES
sion of the Legislature.
The postponement by the California
Legislature Of the alien land bills has
relieved the tension here slightly,
though every moment until the bills
are again taken up will be utilized
in exchange of messages between
Washington and Sacramento and 9th
er points i'll California where influen-
tial officials reside who may be able
to exert some influence upon the
course of legislation at the state
capitol.
President Wilson and Secretary
BRYAN make no secret Of the fact that
though they are precluded from inter
fering officially they are privately adj
dressing themselves to individuals to
get the amelioration of the features of
the pending bills offensive to the Jap
anese government
While Mr. Root was secretary of
state he prepared memorandum
which related to the right of Japanese
in the United States to own land for
the use of agricultural purposes and
his opinion was adverse to the claim.
The failure of the Japanese govern
ment so far to issue decree con-
tirming the treaty right Of Americans
who own land i'll Japan also may be
al important factor in the negotia-
tons which may be expected to fol-
low the enactment Of the California
legislation.

The Parcels Post.

Yesterday the new Parcels Post regu-
lations went into effect, and we predict
that this will hereafter be regarded IS
the redeeming feature in what has
otherwise been a lamentably weak
National administration.
Our readers by this time are doubt
less familiar with the main features of
the new law, which permits of the car
riage through the mail of packages not
oyer six feet in length nor eleven
pounds in weight. There have never
been but four reasons for the delay in
granting this boon to our people; these
being the four big Express companies
and their representatives sitting in the
House and Senate.
In the light of the success of the sys-
tenn in other countries, there has never
been any fair argument to advance
against the system. 1t is now up to
the people themselves to take advan-
tage of the opportunity their Govern
ment has given them.
In England and other countries, far
mers advertise extensively in the pap
ers and ship regularly through the mails
butter. eggs, fruit, vegetables, in fact
everything on which heretofore in this
country they have had to pay extor-
tionate express rates.
A progressive Jefferson County far
mer advertising through Jefferson
County papers read by Jefferson County
people in their homes in the cities
would soon build up trade that would
be worth while and would help reduce
the cost of their living without reducing
the prices he will get.
