There is 2 Solution. (New York Herald) ““The only solution of the matter is to prohibit aliens, or at least Japanese, from holding land,” says Senator Phe- lan, of California, in speaking before the house committee on immigration at Washington. Unconsciously, perhaps, Senator Phelan presents here the remedy for the 1lls of which California complains. It is a remedy which Californians all the time have had the power to apply, but have persistently refused to use it. If California in its legislation should prohibit “aliens’—that is, all aliens— owning or leasing land in thelr state not the slightest objection would be raised by Japan. As it is. the laws of California permit white aliens to own land there, but deny that privilege to aliens whose skin is brown or yellow. Were & discriminatory provision in California’s land laws removed we would bear nothing more of Califor- nia’s land trouble for there would be none. And if similar were removed from California’s other laws where it is found we would hear nothing more of the so-called “Japan- ese peril.” discrimination ! 2l The MCMILLAN STORE, Inc. | “ALWAY S RELIABLE.” THE STORE THAT CLOSES MONDAYS AT 6 P.
