seen the question as we in this state
have been forced to see it-as we
must see it or be blind.
And so, with all respect and cour-
tesy, the state of California feels it is
it's bounden duty to citizens to do
that which the interests of its people
demand. that which the conscience of
its people approves, that which vio-
lates no treaty rights, that which pre-
sents no discrimination and that
which can give no just cause for Of
tense.
You have suggested to me delay.
but this question was very earnestly
and fully presented by you to our leg
islature and the legislature determin-
ed TO proceed. My province is to ap-
prove or disapprove the law as pre-
sented.
FEELS 1T DUTY TO SIGN.
"Our people, as represented in the
legislature, have overwhelmingly ex-
pressed their desire for the present
alien land bill.
THE vote in the senate was 35 to 2
and in the assembly, 70 to 8.
With such unanimity of opinion,
even did hold other views, I would
feel it my plain duty to sign the bill,
unless some absolutely controlling ne
cessity demanded contrary action.
Apparently no such controlling ne
cessity exists.
at is with the highest respect for
yourself and the president that l feel
my duty to my state compels me to
approve the action of the legislature.

| Governor of California"

THE constitution of California in
1879 made its distinction, and there
never has been protest or objection.
SHIFTS ONUS TO NATION.
"The naturalization laws of the
United States, long since, without de-
muir from any nation, determined who
were and who were not eligible to
citizenship. If invidious discrimina-
ton ever were made in this regard
the United States made it when the
United States declared who we're and
who were not eligible to citizenship,
and when we but follow and depend
on the statutes of the United States
and their determination as to eligi,
bility to citizenship. we cannot be &C
cused of indulging in invidious dis,
elimination.
May l venture to call to your at
tention the immigration law now
pending in congress, which passed
both houses of the last congress
where apparently certain classes, who
shall be excluded from our country
are described as persons who cannot
become eligible under existing laws &c
become citizens of the United States ?
AT this very moment the nationa
legislature, without protest or objec
tion-indeed, it is published in Cali
fornia, by express consents using
! the terms that are claimed in Califor
MAS law to be offensive and discrimi
natory.
( SAME LAW IN THREE STATES.

California is differently viewed thar

I'VE insist that justly no offense cal
be taken by any nation to this law
and more particularly does this seen
to us clear in the instance of a nation
like Japan, that by its own law pre-
vents acquisition of land by aliens.

that in our legislative dealings wit

est City

Our search for Somerset County
people now residing elsewhere, has
recently brought us information con
corning Clifton J. Bailey and his wife
who was formerly Annie Buker of
this place. Mrs. Bailey grew to wo-
manhood in this town, and Mr.. Bailey
through frequent visits here and sub
sequently as a resident for several
years came to be known and highly
regarded by a wide circle of friends
We believe many readers of the In
dependent-Reporter will enjoy even
this brief news item regarding them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey have been especi-
ally blessed in their children two sons
and daughter. John. the eldest, was
born here % years ago. Betty NJ, now
20 years of age was also born in this
place, and there is a son Robert E,
who will complete his 18th year Nov
ember 23rd next
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey were among the
most popular of Skowhegan people
during their residence here They
possess many accomplishments Mrs
Bailey was a vocalist of considerable
ability and took part in many amateur
entertainments where her singing was
especially useful. Mr.. Bailey was also
an adept in amateur theatricals, and
it will be recalled took prominent
parts in the plays given by the Mil
burn Club in the early years of its or
ganiZation.
Betty NJ, the daughter above men
toned, visited here for few days this
summer, and with Mrs. Fred Coolidge
