laps Would Revise
Immigration Laws

Revision of Japan's immigration
laws is going to be urged in the next
session Of the diet at Toxic.
while there is now in force in
Italy regulation by which the gov
eminent encourages, directs and pro-
tects immigrants. in Japan the law
pertaining to emigrants was made
twenty-six years ago, so it is no
wonder that it is contradictory to
the present state Of progress of our
country" says Mr.. Kanzaki, chief
secretary Of the Japanese Association
at San Francisco, who has gone
home to work for the reform.
Through the entire text, the words
do not or shall be fined are found
in profusion, but the rules are con-
trary to present-day civilization. My
second mission is to promote Amer
ico-Japanese friendship. Since the
racial equality clause was introduced
at the Paris conference, anti-Japa-
nese feeling in California seems to
have been accentuated., and not only
do the Americans feel unfriendly to-
wards the Japanese laborers, but they
are now inclined to look upon the
Japanese in general as dangerous
people. In these circumstances new
steps must be taken for depriving
them of this Drejudice"

WAY BACK IN '48
MACON FAILED TO
GET THE CAPITAL

State Senator Ivan E. Allen, of
Atlanta, mas brought to light an IN
tereSting piece of history concern
ing an attempt by Macon to secure
the state capital as far back as
1847.
"The attempt failed then, as it
is going to fail today" said Senator
Allen yesterday, in discussing the
matter.
The records show that in 1S47
a bill was introduced in the Geor-
gia house of representatives pro-
Viding for the removal of the cap
ital from Milledegevil1e, then the
capital, to Atlanta, which was, and
is, the southern terminus of the
Western & Atlantic railroad, built
and owned by the state OF Geor-
gia.
vide that the capital should be re-
moved to such suitable location as
might be selected. During the dis
cussion a number of substitutes
substitute was offered to provide
that the capital be removed from
Milledgeville to Macon. This was
killed by a vote of "a to 40. An
other substitute was offered to
provide for a vote by the people on
a choice between Macon and Allan
ia. Amendments were then offered,
to this substitute. providing for a
vote on Griffin, Sandersville, and
Milledegeville, as we'll as Atlanta
and Macon.
Finally the original bill was de-
feated by vote of 6S to 55.
This information. says Senator
Allen, can be verified by consulting
the journal of the house for the
session of 184S, under the index
heading, "Seat of Government"
Senator Allen has also obtained
from the records some interesting
history concerning the vote of the
people in 1877 between Milledgeville
and Atlanta. The constitutional con-
vention of 1877 wrote a constitu-
ton for Georgia. 1t was submitted
to the people and ratified by them
and today is the states organic
law. The same convention wrote
separate ordinance providing for a
separate vote, in the same election.

FACES
PRESSING ISSUES At .
SESSION THIS WEEK.
Public Hearing on Capital
Removal Scheduled Tues
day-TWo Plans for High
way Department Changes

The coming week in the leg1Sla-
ture gives promise of developing
into one of the most interesting and
eventful of the entire session, not
only by reason Of the fact that i'm
portant legislation is to be consid-
cred on the floor of the two houses,
but because two vital issues are to
be threshed out in committee hear
ings that will have a particularly
interesting effect on the political
situation in Georgia.
Having been in session a little
more than a week, thoroughly ad-
justed the internal committee ma
chinery passed upon a few legis-
Iative matters to get into first
class working order, the legislators
will return Monday to plunge into
the mass of legislation that is rap
idly accommodating in both branches.
The first event to claim public as
well as legislative interest is the
public hearing to be held at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the
hall of the house of representatives
on the question of capital removal,
The constitutional amendments.
committees Of both houses will
meet in joint session to consider the
constitutional amendment author1z-
ing the removal of the state capitol
to Macon. This amendment ii
thirds majority, will be submitted
to the people for ratification at the
next general election.
The second item of prime impor-
lance on the weeks program at the
capital is the joint session of the
III ~ hot h
to consider the rather widely diff
fering highway bills introduced
since the general assembly convened
on June rs. Two different plans
for the reorganization of the state
system of highways are contemplat-
ed by the two sets of bills cover
ing highway legislation.
That the appropriation bill will be
reported in the house during the
present week is practically certain.
Important committe hearings are
scheduled in the senate for the pres
ent week, among them being the
deliberations on the state income
the local school tax amendment.
The act creating a state banking
department separate and apart from
the treasury department and making
certain changes in the banking laws
of the state, will come up as spe-
having been held over from last week
in order that the bill might be print
ed.
Many important measures are yet
to be introduced in both houses
and during the present week it is
expected that the legislative hoppers
will receive a great quantity of
bills, both local and general.
The house Of representatives on
Monday passed a resolution author
izing the governor to contract with
attorneys to BRING suit in the fed
courts for the recovery of the famous
cotton taxes collected by the federal
government shortly after the Civil
war. The resolution provides that
the state shall pay no fees to the
lawyers employed unless the taxes
are recovered.
A bill establishing a school for
feeble-minded children was up for
passage in the house Monday. but
was postponed at the request of it's
authors until Tuesday morning.
A number of new bills were in
troduced in the house on Monday
and a number of local bills were
passed.
