For Bulk Appropriations.
The committee adopts the sugges-
ton made by Accountant Smythe in
his report and recommends that "all
public services should be provided for
by direct appropriation from the
treasury and not by special taxes and
levies for the purpose OF maintaining
Offices with funds solely dedicated TO
that purpose" 1t Is unbusiness-
like, says the report. to have the var1-
GUS departments supported by. diner
ent methods.
The report further recommends
that all State boards and heads OF
departments be required TO scrutinize
carefully itemized accounts for con-
tingent and all other funds and sec
that no items in such accounts be al
lowed, except such as are allowed by
law and are essential to public SER
vice" and calls attention to tho
tendency of boards TO authorize ex-
penditure OF money for the purposes
not specifically set forth in the ap-
preparation" in violation OF the law.
The report ignores the suggestions
OF Accountant Smythe that the fiscal

ARIZONA ALIEN
LAND LAW FALLS
NOT CONSTITUTIONAL TO LIMIT
PERCENTAGE OF ALIEN
EMPLOYEES.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE rejection
OF the Arizona alien employees law as
null and void, because contrary to the
provisions OF the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution, by the Fed
eral Court at San Francisco. attracted
much attention here today. particular
Ely as IL Is thought the decision may
prove to have a bearing on the Cali
fornia alien Land law controversy with
Japan. which remains unsettled and
which IL regarded by many az the
most dangerous phase of our interna-
tional relations
The court held that the Arizona law
which requires that not more than 20
per cent of the employees of any firm
or individual shall be aliens. violates
the constitutional guarantee of life,
liberty and property to all persons
alike. If the State were permitted to
restrict the percentage of alien en-
ployes, 1t could, with equal Justice,
/ forbid the employment OF aliens at all,
the court held.
| The action thus decided at San
Francisco was brought by Italian,
Chinese and Japanese residents Of
Arizona, acting Jointly No such &C
Il ton ever has been brought against
the California allen land law. but
| there Ia now reason to believe that as
/ a result Of the favorable decision in
the Arizona case, individual Japanese
may take similar proceedings in Cali
fornia.
! The United States Government sug-
gested to the Japanese Government
that the California law could al any
time be tested by Japanese In the Fed
eral Courts. The Japanese Govern
men held. however. that 1t was not Its
place to test the law. but that the
Washington government as the treaty
ma king power. should bring the action
In the courts to test the California
law. This the United States has re-
! fused to do, with the result that no
ACTON has been brought from either
side.

CARRANZA PLANS TO SET UP
FREE STATE OF YUCATAN

Washington, Jan. 7.-Evidences Of
Carranza's reported intention to estab-
lish himself In Yucatan were received
lat the State Department from Vera
Cruz. in a dispatch stating that the
gunboat Bravo has left that port for
Progresso.
The Bravo was reported to have on
board number of soldiers, Con-
lstitutionalist money and gold and sill
yer bullion. The taking of this money
was regarded here as an indication Of
the preparations which are said to
have been going forward for some
time, looking TO the establishment Of
the Carranzistas In Yucatan, presum-
ably at Merida,
That Carranza's plan. believed by
some likely to result In Yueatan be-
coming an Independent State, may
meet with dtfficulties, was indicated in
reports from Merida that the military
icommandant there had revolted and
declared that the territory under his
control would remain neutral, ac-
knowledging neither villa nor Car
rama factions. The Carranzistas as

suppressed. and that the rebels are in
