was simply the Communism of native
tribes that live in tropical climate
where little work is necessary, little
clothing is worn, and practically no
modern inventions or industries exist.
Nothing more and nothing less.
The idea of such tribal state be-
ing advertised the world over as a
brilliant and striking example of Com
munism put into practice is even COM
ical.
Most of this literary effervescence
is directly traeeable to one William
A. Gates who wrote series of ar
ticles on "The four Governments Of
Mexico in the Worlds Work, an
American monthly magazine in the
spring of 1910 1t now develops that
this man Gates was cloJely allied with
some Of the most vicious and blood
thirsty bandits that curse Mexico and
if Re was not actually in their pay, it
was only because he was instead in
the pay of American capitalists who
seek intervention in Mexico. By his
own admission he visited leaders Of
various gangs of brigands and some
Of the rebel chiefs in an effort to
arrange a union between them. His
obvious purpose was to bring these
minority factions together under some
leaderstrong enuf and bold enuf to
oust Carranza. There is excellent rea-
son to think that Gates was sent to
Mexico by American oil magnates with
this specific object in view. He went
back to the United States and wrote
the series of articles mentioned, giving
the American public tumble Of dis.
tortions and misrepresentation and
even absolute lies that was calculated
to. demonstrate the important need Of
Intervention in Mexico.

A ANTI-OR|ENT
MEASURES ON
1920 BALLOT.
Committee to Circulate Tnitiu-
tiUe Measures is Named;
Proklosed Legislation WI!
Curb Activities of Aliens.
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, March 20.-With
the appointment Of Senator J. M. In
man, president of the California Orien-
tai Exclusion League, Of a committee
to prepare the anti-Oriental measures
to be voted on at the November, 1920,
election, the machinery for circulating
the initiative measures was put into
action.
The committee named by Inman at
the direction of representatives of
anti-Asiatic organizations who met in
San Francisco March 13, follows:
Milton A. Nathan and c. l.. McEn-
erney of San Francvisco and j. Leroy
johnson Of Stockton. Nathan will rep
resent the Spanish War Veterans, Nc
Enerney the Native Sons and johnson
the California American Legion. The
committee will meet with a committee
representing the Southern California
enthusiastic associations and will pre-
pare a final draft of the measures to
be placed on the ballot.
AS a base for the final draft the
committees will use the rough draft
that was prepared for the league by
the state legislative council bureau.
Under the provisions of the tenta-
tive draft aliens ineligible to citizen
ship would be prevented from being
appointed as guardians of the estate
of a minor for the purpose of pur-
chasing land in the name of the
minor.
This is one Of the ways in which
the Japanese evade the present anti
alien land law. They purchase the
land in the name of a miner born in
California and then wori, it them
selves.
In cases where aliens are prohibited
from being named as guardians of
minors, the new law provides for the
appointment of the public administra-
tor as such guardian.
1t would also make compulsory the
filing by the guardian of an annual
report with the secretary of state
showing the amount of property held
by the alien or minor, a statement
showing the date when each piece of
property was purchased, an account
of expenditures. investments, rents,
issues and profits in respect to the ad-
ministration and control of such prop
erty.
The proposed law also would plug
up the holes in the present anti-alien
land law by preventing the purchase
of agricultural land by dummy cor
porations.

Dragged to Death

Louis Audsley, II, a farmer
boy near Dewitt, was plowing
with a tractor the latter part of
last week. His father was fol-
lowing about a quarter mile be-
hind with a tank of coal oil for
the tractor. A little girl was a
short distance from the boy
when, as he was getting back to
the seat after having stepped
forward on the tractor to adjust
something, he missed the seat
and fell over it backward. In
falling he struck a lever which
elevated the gang pIow. The
point of one of the plows ran
thru his neck. The tractor NOV
led along, the boy bleeding to
death from the cut artery, the
father unconscious of the pre-
dicament of his son until the
little girl saw the horrible sight
and screamed to the father.
The tractor reached the ditch,
toppled over and stopped and
the father reached the mahgled
form of his dying boy.
