While public attention was con-
centrated on the work of the Califor-
MIA legislature in passing bill to ex-
clude nonresident Japanese from
ownership Of farming lands, the Ariz-
ona legislature was at work opsa SIM
liar bill. The lower house Of the leg
islature passed the measure Monday
and 1t will go to the upper house and
perhaps to Governor George w. p.
Hunt.
The Japanese truck farmers and
small ranchers are indignant over the
bill. N. Oyo, president Of the Arizona
Japanese association, is in California
on his way to Japan with the body OF
his wife, who died here last week, and
Henry Niniiki. one of the moving
spirits in the organization, is in Jail in
Globe on charge Of killing an aged
American woman there.
The local Japanese were at sea in
the matter until some Of them got to-
gether. They said that before Oyo
started for Japan last Saturday night
he was authorized to lay the sentiment
Of the Japanese in this state before
the government at Toxic. Whether
this will take the form of request
for revision of the existing law In
Arizona in behalf Of their country
men in California, the members Of the
association here declined to say.
