Of ALIENS To
BEGIN At ONCE
Penalty Under LalU adopted BY
PeOEle PrOUides for Arrest
and Property Seizure.
(By United PresS)

SACRAMENTO, June 1.-The alien
poll tax law, which became effective
when Governor Stephens signed the
alien tax bill, will prevent this state
from getting into the situation in
wrch the United States found itself
upon entering the World war, When
thousands upon thousands of alien
enemies roamed the country unchecked
according to opinions expressed by
state officials.
The measure was ratified by the
people at the general election in No
vember, 1920. 1t will provide sys-
tenn of checking aliens. something the
state and country has lacked, 1t is
said authoritively.
School districts are made the regis
tration units, and the money will be
turned over to the school fund OF the
county where collected. The COST OF
collecting the alien poll tax will be
betrayed by the proceeds from the tax
itself.
Under the provisions of the alien
tax bill, the tax of $40 annually will
become due and payable August and
will become delinquent December 81.
1t will also be due the first Monday in
March and become delinquent the fol-
lowing July Fl of everv succeeding
year. A penalty of SO per cent VIII be
added for delinquency, and the tax
on penalty will bear interest at the
rate of per cent per annum.
Registration of adult aliens will be
performed by temporary registration
clerks, who will receive 10 cents for
each registration. One field deputy
will be appointed for every 1000 aliens
residing in the county up to 5000
aliens, and one deputy for every 1000
aliens there eafter.
Inability, failure, or refusal to ex-
hibit the certificate of registration,
after the close Of the registration
period, is prima facie evidence chat
the alien has not registered. and con-
stitutes cause for immediate arrest.
Field deputies will be paid at the
rate of sc per day in the cities and 81
a day in the rural communities. They
not receive an allowance for travelling
expense.
The new law provides for the seiz-
ure and sale of personal property. of
the delinquent alien poll tax payer to
satisfy the tax and the penalty. 1t
also provides for the garnishment of
wages in case of the delinquency of an
employed alien. Registration of aliens
will begin within 10 days and will
be completed by July 81.

Senator Hiram Johnson and
Chairman Clark of Inter-
state Commerce Commits
sion Write Encouraging
Letters on Subject.

w WASHINGTON, June 1.-The
downward revision of railroad rates
was discussed by President Harding
and members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in conference
this morning at the commission
headquarters. President Harding
inquired particularly into the pros
pect of Il modification of the rates
on fruits and vegetables fror Cali
fOrnia points to the eastern mar
ketS.
The cXhorbitant freight rates which
obtain under the traffic regulations of
August, 1920, and which are .marring
the otherwise prosperous and prolific
cantaloupe season for the Imperial
Valley melon grower, may yet be re-
duced in time to give some relief be-
fore the present season is over.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson in let
ter to Merrill d. Davis, the publisher
of The Press, states that Special rs
sistant Ford, of the Interstate Com
merce Commission has just returned
to Washington from his inspection and
investigation trip to the Pacific Coast
and that conferences with members
and experts Of the commission and
others interested will commence at
once the consideration of the data col
lected by Mr.. Ford and will be ready
for action in a few days.
At the conclusion of these confer
cnces Senator Johnson says that the
commission will have an important an
nouncement to make with respect to
the rates on fruits and vegetables
from the California producing grounds
to the markets of the East.
From the optimistic tone of Sena-
tor Johnson's letter some of the local
cantalOupe distributors are taking
much comfort and hope that it will
mean substantial reduction of the
present rate.
In this connection is a letter writ
ten by Edwar E. Clark, chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
to Charles J. Brand, vice president of
the American Fruit Growers, on the
same subject, which is as follows:
My Dear Sir: l thank you for the
information contained in your letter
Of the 10Th inst.
AS you doubtless know former Com
missioner Ford, acting as special as
holding a series of informal confer
ences between the shippers and the
representatives of railroads in Cali
fornia, Oregon, Idaho and Colorado.
He will return within two or three
days. Much interest has been mani
tested in these conferences, and /
think the entire situation has been
presented therein.
have personal knowledge of the
fact that some of the traffic execu-
tives of the transcontinental roads
are considering this matter very SER
iously. They have sensed the fact
that it is not at all in their interest
that the production shall be perman-
emily impaired or that the locality of
production shall be changed. l., of
course, cannot attempt to indicate
what may be determined after all that
has been presented before Mr.. Ford
has been fully digested, but arrange
ments are already made to have it full
ly considered by the responsible traf-
fic executive of the roads most at in
terest.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Edgar E. Clark,
Chairman.
