pounds are needed for every four

numbers of newspapers have been
driven out of business already by this

high cost of the paper, which costs
several hundred per cent more than
it did three years ago. Many have
been starved to death by their in
ability to obtain paper at any price.
The present system of distribution

for the big city papers and they are

LAND TROUBLE
ROUSES JAPAN

Representative Japanese express the
opinion that there is no hope of a per-
manent solution of the California
problem until after the presidential
election in the United States. Through
the medium of the press, they put for
ward strong opposition to the proposal
to extend the present law excluding
Japanese from land ownership in Cal
ifornia, to forbid Japanese from hold
ing lands by lease and also to prevent
Japanese holding land through owner
ship of alleged dummy corporations.
Viscount Takaaki Kato, former for
eign minister, says chat America
which constantly is advocating the
cause of righteousness and humanity,
should deprive Japanese of the fruits
of many years of labor is an act We
can never overlook"

BILL" says Viscount Kaneko, president
