Brief Filed in Supreme Court by De- partment of Justice. = Washington, April 21—An unex pected development in the state rate| cases which have been pending befors the supreme court for more than a year occurred today, when the depart- ment of justice obtained the perm sion of the court to file a brief as a “friend of the court.” The contention of the government in the brief was that the interstate com- merce commission is supreme over state rate making bodies, and may an- nul state regulations in the disguise of state rates, when interstate commerce is affected substantially thereby. The brief was a copy of one filed by the government recently in the “Shreveport rate case,” in the com- merce court. In it the government up- held the right of the interstate com- merce commission to require the rai roads tc reduce interstate rates from Louisiana to Texas points or increase rates in Texas. The commission had held that the action of the Texas au- thorities in requiring - low rates on state shipments so as to “protect home industries” was a crimination against interstate commerce. 1t is not believed that the action *o- | @ay wili delay the decision >f the rate ca'ws, which are expected any Mon- | | AUTO PASSENGERS = KILLED BY TRAIN.

April 21.—Governor Johnson zave out {onight the following statement regarding the pending alien land legislation. This is the first state- ment the governor has made on the subject. Tt follows, in part: Californlans are unable to under- stand why an act admittedly within the jurisdictior cf the California legis- lature, Iike tho “wcsage of an alien land Dill, creates tumult, confusfon and crit- icism, and why this loca] act of un- doubfed right becomes an international question. Of course, the California iegislature would not attempt to con- travene any treaty of the nation nor to do more than has been.done by the federal government itself and many other states. To say that California criticlsm and the charge of disrupting friendly relatlons with foreign powers, is to deny to California what has been freely accorded to every other state in the Union, and what has never been questioned with any other state. “Our legislature is now considering an allen land bill In reneral language ard not discriminatory. If terms are used which are claimed to be discrim- inatory, those very terms long since were made by enactments and by the Jaws of the mation itself. Broadly speaking, many states have endeavored to prevent the ownership of land by those Ineligible to citizenship. The power to pass such laws Is coneeded, but immediately upon the exercise of this power by a great sovereign state a remarkable and inexplieable outery is heard all over the land and in other lands as well. “Phe United States by statute pro- vided that ne alien or person who is not a citizen of the United Btates or who has not deelared his intention to become a citizen of the United States shall acqire title to land, ete, and in relation to the District of Columbia, the United States statutes eontain the same inhibition. “We of California ask, therefore, why sheuld California be singled oue for at- tack when it ix exercising the same right that has been exercised by so many states and by the United States itself? “Lhe characier of tis prcacAt Coll- S AN must do less, or be subjected to harsh | only legislation sential for the prese and the protection wion having its pre actments of the n and the various state And such measures s ill be considered t crimination.’ its p eden tional horous dicially and without preju | fornia legislature is the guarantee deemed absolutel ation of the the eople t in 11 be JAPANESE TREATY RIGHTS.
