board in March. Their nominees were
George Griggs. Charles c. Lyteh and
A A. Hindsley.
Those who attended the meeting.
numbering more than thirty, said they
were being taxed too much for what
they got thru the drainage board; they
opposed the s7F. 900 sewer project pro-
posed by the board and decided that
their nominees. If elected, should take
drainage improvements up with the
city and let the city attend to them.
The South topeka residents who at
tended the meeting propose, IT is un-
derstood. to hire an expert drainage
engineer to work with them.
The entire present system of letting
drainage boards handle Improvements,
instead of having the city attend to
them all was opposed.
The Shunganunga drainage board
No. l first asked the city for $500
box sewer to relieve the flood condi-
tons in that section of the city, but
later agreed to cut their demands
down to a project to cost around $40

CALIFORNIA; ANTI
JAPANESE LAND Law
Its Advocates Claim Japan Has Similar
Laws Against fundamentally
for Joint Commission.

WASHINGTON, Sept %. ASSOCIATED
Press. administration officials decline
to discuss any of the phases of the ne
gotiations with Japan growing out OF the
proposed anti-Japanese land law IN Cal
iforna, but the impression has gone out
that proposal from Toxic that the
question be referred to a Joint commits
sion for solution would be acceptable.
The conversations between Ambassa-
dor -Shidehara of Japan and state depart
menti officials are continuing. So far as
has been learned the proposal for q
Joint commission has not been commune
Gated formally to Washington by the
japanese government.
Conflicting opinions of both American
and Japanese authorities on lnterna-
tional law are said to have made. the
task of the state department officials and
the Japanese ambassador more difficult.
Proponents of the California law say.
California in enacting a measure barring
the japanese from owning land III that
state would be refusing to the Japanese
in this country no rights or privileges
which are not refused by japanese law
to Americans in Japan.
Japan contends that the California
law. which is to be voted on in Novem-
Ecr is discriminatory because it does not
apply to all foreigners alike as does the
Japanese law. The suggestion has been
made in Toxic that after the law IS
enacted it be tested in the United States
supreme court Some japanese authorl-
ties on international law doubt that this
would be effective as they state frankly
that the proposed California law CON
ficts neither with the constitution nor
with the terms OF the American-Japanesee
treaty DIR. X. Kobayashi,. writing OF
the proposed law in "the Japanese Re
view of International Law says it is
futile to attempt opposition by legal

fornia alien land law nor the proposed
