JAPS BORN | CALIFORNIA TO OWN HOLDINGS ecision of Superior Court day in Test Case Holds American Born Citi- zens Not Affected ‘o- [By Associated Press.] RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 17.— Japanese born in California may ac- quire and retain title to real estate, and no violation of the alien land law results, according to the opinion of Judge Craig of the superior court in the case of the People of California vs. M. Harada, a test case. The case formally known as The People of the State of California vs. |Jukichi Harada, Mine Harada, Sumi | Harada and Yoshizo Harada, was the first arising from an alleged violation of the California alien land law. This law prohibits persons not elig- ible to citizenship from acquiring real estate in California, except to the extent and for the purposes pre- scribed by treaty and with a further exception in favor of leases for agri- cultural purposes not exceeding three years. |" After the enactment of the law Jukichi Harada, a Japanese, bot a lot in a residential neighborhood in Riverside and had the deed issued to Mine, Sumi and Yoshizo Harada, his three minor children. They were born in the United State and were therefore citizens and entitled to hold real estate. People living in the neighborhood objected to the Japanese occupying | | the property and a committee waited | upon Harada with an offer to buy! the lot from him at a price above} that which he paid. He declined to} sell, explaining that it was the kind} of neighborhood in which he wished | to bring up his children. | Thestate, later, through the At-| torney General's office, brought suit | to have the property declared escheat- | It was the conten-| tion o Joseph L. Lewinshon, Deputy | Attorney General, who represented | the state in the litigation, that Hara- da had the deed issued to his children | merely as a subterfuge to evade the| law and outright and unconditional gift of the property. This was the| issue involved in the decision handed down today. | The question of the constitution-| ality of the law was raised in a pre-| liminary hearing and the court held; it was constitutional. | The Supreme Court in California} is the court of first instance, there being two higher courts in the state.) pes Since the commencement of the! war the time whistle has been abol-| ished in most of the lumber mills and camps in the Pacific Northwest. | The men now go to work in the morn-|} ing and cease work in the evening) with the raising and lowering o the American flag. | — — The ram is the most ancient of! ship weapons. ng two The Round Oak Folks make gs0d goods only—no seconds—no thirds—only ONE grade, one quality—in ROUND OAKS, and that is absolutely the highest possible.
