ALIEN CAN ACT
As GUARDIAN Of
LANDS HELD BY
AMERICAN BORN
[RepubIIcan a. P. leased Wlrel


SAN FRANCISCO, May IA de-
cision declaring unconstitutional that
portion of the California alien land
law forbidding aliens ineligible to
citizenship to act as guardians of the
agricultural lands of their Americans
born children was handed down by
the state supreme court today.
The decision was in the case of
Hayao Yamo, a Sutter county Jap-
anese, who sought such guardianship
over the person and estate Of his in
FAINT daughter. The decision reversed
a decision of the Sutter county su-
perior court, which denied Yamo's
application for such guardianship.
The guardianship feature OF the
state Jaw prohibiting aliens inelig-
ible for citizenship from holding farm
lands constitutes an improper dis
elimination, the court held, because
the right or privilege of father to
be the guardian of his own minor
child does not in any respect depend
upon or arise out OF the nationality or
his eligibility to citizenship in this
country 1t has no relation thereto"
Similarly, according TO the court,
the child was entitled to have her
father selected as her guardian. "The
child is a native of the United States
and of the state. of California. Moth
ing can be denied to her because of
her race or color that is not denied
to all Citizens, regardless OF race or
color. Any privilege that is given
generally to citizens of other races
must also be given to her upon the
same terms and her race cannot be
considered as a factor in the problem
or as a cause for denial thereof to
her"
If the law is intended to prevent
evasions of the law forbidding aliens
ineligible TO citizenship to acquire.
possess or enjoy agricultural land,
the court declared, it must have some
tendency to remove the evil. This
the guardianship feature does not do,
according to the decision which was
written by Chief Justice Shaw.
The court said that if the real
purpose of the law was to discourage
the coming OF Japanese to California.
the relief should be sought of congress
and not the state legislation.
Associate Justice Lawlor dissented,
saying that as there had been many
attempts to evade the law, it was
proper to enact measures to uphold
the statute as long as they were not
unreasonable.
Yamo's two-year- old daughter,
Tetsubimi Yano. is the owner of IA
acres of land in Sutter county, valued
at $4,000 which her father bought in
trust for her.
1T is a general law OF the state
that the parent of a minor under IA
is entitled to be appointed guardian
on the preference to any other per-
son" the decision said.

OF the soft drink bill and other pro-

soft Drink Licenses.
MANY old time saloon keepers have
turned their saloons ostensibly into soft
drink places, but are also selling strong
drinks as well as soft drinks.
This bill forbids any person going into
the soft drink business unless he has
first secured a State license and pro-
viding a heavy penalty for failure to do
so. Only an American citizen can get
such a license; no one who has been
convicted of illegal liquor selling within
year past can obtain a license; no one
who has ever been convicted of a felony
shall be given such a license; also re-
quiring that q bond shall be given for
obedience to the law, and should the
licensce be- convicted of illegal liquor
selling he shall not be granted soft
drink place license again for at least q
year after tn edate of such conviction
also making II mlsdemeanor to employ
any man in a soft drink place who has
lost such license within year. These
and other restrictions will make II dan
