A DEAD.LETTER LAW.
Act 1ec Of the Session Laws Of 1911 says:

Act I6C OF the Session Laws OF 1911 says:
-No officer or empIoye OF the territory OF any
municipal or political subdivision thereof shall In any
way directly indirectly. individually In cobina
tion with others make or authorizes or participate

which contract agreement purchase, sale property.

This act ought TO be referred to under the head of
mortality STATISTICS since il il deadletter law Its
scope so wide that il il literally and strictly
Enforced manifest. injustice would be done. Com
paraiiyely few firms individuals in the territory
could participate in any public business or have
anything TO financially TO do with any territorial,
municipal or county government -
To show what literal application of the law
could do take the case OF Eddie Fernandez, amuse-
mont promoter, who last night was granted per.
nit by the supervisors to operate merry go round
IN Aala Park. Fernandez has been elected to the
legislature. He will be territorial official soon.
Under his permit, he must pay to the city ten per
cent Of the gross receipts. Yet the law says that
no officer othe territory shall participate directly
% Indirectly in any c6ntract or agreement with the
territory Or the city inwhich contract agreement
be Is in any way peeuniafily interested
a literal application of this law would prevent
hernandez from agreeing with the city to run
ne merry gotoupd and pay the city percentage Of
tho profits. ~
This is obvfvGsly Il far fetched case, and an attor

contracts or any profit whatever from public work.
IA laudable endeayor to make the law broad

One OF the greatest Of American authorities on
the Orient, Bishop James W. Bashford of China,
strongly fayors some such plan Of limited natur:
alization for aliens DIR. Sidney Gulick proposes
to solve the knOtty question of japanese immigra
tion DIR. Guliek's plan briefly is that the United
States should not make an exception of Oriental
races, but should agree to the admission annually
from any country of number Of immigrants equal
to fixed per cent say five, of the living immigrants
from that country who have become American citi
zens. This plan would base the immigration on the
number Of that race becoming naturalized, which
would at once answer most objections as to assimila
ton. Bishop Bashford is not pleading. Japan's
cause. He is not prejudiced in favor of the Japa
nese; in fact his recent book shows, he does not
hesitate to criticize them whore he thinks criticism
fairly is due But he has also no hesitation in con-
demning the present immigration policy as both un
statesmanlike and unChristian. -:
