SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3D.
California has again girded her
lOihs and started on the trail of the
yellow Peril"
Resuming the anti-Japanese move
ment which resulted in the passage Of
the so-ealled anti-Alien Land Law Of
1914, preventing Japanese owning
land in California, definite program
of state and national legislation,
aimed to stop Japanese immigration
in any form and restrict the activ-
tiles of the Japanese now within the
country, has progressed sufficiently
partment and the Japanese govern
ment.
The legislative program will first
come before the voters Of the state
at the November election, when an
anti-Japanese measure will be on the
ballot by iniative petition. 1t has
two main phases which are:
Extension of the present law for
bidding Japanese ownership of land
so as to prevent Japanese holding
land by lease;
Revision of corporation laws of the
state so as to prevent the present a.
legged practice of Japanese holding
1and through dummy" corporations.
The California Japanese Exclusion
Association, which was formed recent
ly under the leadership Of United
States Senator Jas. d. Phelan Of Cal
ifornia, and in which Samuel Short
fridge, republican senatorial candi-
Hate against Phelen, is active, has
definitely announced that after the
November election it will launch a
campaign for further measures re-
stricting Japanese. These measures
are expected to include:
l. Federal laws forbidding further
japanese immigration;
2. A federal law preventing jap
'anese becoming citizens Of the United
States by birth. At present Japaneas
children born here can have Ameri-
can citizenship;
3. Prohibition Of the importation
Of so-called picture brides"-Japa-
nese girls welded to Japanese men
now in this country, through inter-
change of pictures and fulfillment Of
Japanese marriage requirements.

IS
ON DECLINE,
A PCT. DROP
ONE YEAR
Figures for Past Ten Years
Made Public by California
Central Creameries To-
day; Big Drop from Last
Year in Dairy Cattle.

Increases and decreases of cattle
in the Imperial Valley during the
past 10 years and the nurSs.er now
in the valley was given out from
the offices of the California Cen
trail Creameries this morning.
About 40 percent of the cattle
listed for the years are dairy stock,
which also show decided decrease
during the past year
According to the figures there are
1880 dairy cattle in the valley at
the present time. Taking the cores
ponding figures of last year it is said
that there were more than 10000 Of
the same stock during the year 1919.
Complete figures are:
1910-15, ,063.
1912-42,238.
1914-43,S96.
1916-61 800.
1918-59,622.
191S-72,563.
1920-55,010.
This shows decrease of 1853
cattle in the valley in one year.
Taking the percent as quoted by, E.
j. Powers, of the California Central
Creameries, it shows that last year
,xhere were more than $1,000 dairy
vattle in the valley during 1919, or a
decrease of over 5000 in one year, or
IA percent.
Dairy products as yet are the only
commodity that has not been hit
with the reactionary trend of af-
fairs, and it is forecast that no drop
in butter fat can be expected within
the next two years.
On top of this cotton. tomatoes and
other valley products suffered slic-
ing and clipping during the past few
months.
The diamond drill., 1920-06-05

The Diamond Drill has been re-
quested to warn young men who make
practise OF annoying people out
driving that there is a law that will
be invoked to prevent such hoodlum
actions IL they are not stopped.
For several weeks a party OF boys
who feel their oats and think they are
men have been annoying people on
the public roads. The young men are
all known and will be hailed into
court If another exhibition is reported
to the officers.
There IS a difference between being
smart and being a smart aleck. From
the antics reported 1t appears that the
boys are OF the last classification ;
they haven't sufficient brains TO enter
the first class.
Hoodlums addicted to similar pranks
at Iron River were hailed into court
recently and paid dearly for their
actions. Crystal Falls hoodlums may
we'll take heed OF what happened TO
their kin on the west side.

A rLIvvER STORY

A Ford ear driven by middle aged
man and containing In the rear seat
his wife and child was seen coming
past the court house at speed OF
about 40 miles per hour one evening
last week by William Pierce, who was
sitting at the front window Of his
home on Crystal Avenue reading his
paper. The Pierce home Is In direct
line with the street passing In front
OF the court house. As the car con-
tlnued on It's way the speed was not
slackened In the least end Mr.. Pierce
wondered how Il was going 10 safely
make the tbrn on Crystal Avenue. II
didn't make the turn. Instead Il
shot across the street, jumped the
curb and sidewalk into the Pierca
lot, missed tree by about a foot and
swung around just in time to miss the
house, crossed the line into the place
where Ernest Jayne lives. swung a.
round and out onto the walk, across
the curb and back onto the road. II
was hlvver. No other car could per-
form such feat. All the while tho
woman and child didn't seem to be
alarmed.

WHAT SHALL THEY DO WITH
COUNTY AcRIcuL TuRAIIsT
GOT NOWHERE AT MEETING
Special Committee Reported Agai-
nst Continuing the Office But
Many Protested

What shall Iron county do with its
agriculturist,? The County Board OF
Supervisors studied over the problem
Tor month, discussed Il at length
last Saturday and finally passed II on
to the public to decide. Shall The
ofiice be continued; shall there be n
change in the office; shall the demon
stration agent be retaaned? These
are the questions the board would
like to answer to the satisfaction OF
all and they find Il a difficult task
for some want one thing, some want
another while the big majority sit on
the side lines and say not word.
How ID Came About
The question came before the board
In a motion made by Victor Benson
supervisor from Bates township. at
the session of the board held In Aprif
that committee be appointed to de-
eide upon course in connection with
the agricultural agent and the dem
onstration worker.
Chairman Udd appointed upon that
committee Supervisors Benson, Count
han and Corbett.
At the meeting last Saturday Mr..
Benson reported that he had consult
ed the farmers in Bates township and
with one exception they were opposed
10 the retention OF the agricultural
agent. Supervisor Counihan reported
that in Iron River township II was a.
bout $3.50 split while Mr.. Corbett
found no one In Mansfield IN favor OF
the retention OF the officials.

Iron County Taxpayers Association

opposed the movement to do away
with the Office. He opposed IL In the
name of the association he represent
ed, In behalf OF the farmers OF the
county and in behalf OF all In the
county who want to see the county
make advancement along agricultural
lines.
Proposed Local Agriculturisf
The discussion waxed warm and
Victor Benson. in an effort to pour
oil on the waters which he had been
the main cause OF agitating. made the
motion that the townships each en-
gage an agriculturist.
The passage from the sublime to the
ridiculous was so swift that II stilled
the waters OF strife but didn't go far
towards solving the problem as the
supervisors were entirely opposed to
any such a move.
II was finally agreed to let the
matter lie open for another month
