HOPKINS (N. EB. A, Staff Correspondent) 8AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20,—The smouldering fire of the Japanese im ion situation, on of the Shantung affair, the League of Nations debate and by the recent alarming inroads of Japanese upon the richest farm lands of Call- fornia, Washington, Oregon and Colorado is flaming high. Seattle has awakened to the fact that Japanese own more than half its hotels and other industries in pro- portion | Apple growers of the famous Hood River district, Oregon, have been amazed to discover that Japanese hold more than 50 per cent of the apple orchards there. | In California, since the beginning of 19 a monthly average of 30 “dummy corporatiot owned by Japanese, has been formed, and each | corporation has bought farm land. Now the Japaneze are ‘working | eastward—they have taken over and Rocky Ford district in Colorado and driven out the whites, California's annual crop of Japan exe babies is now approximately 4500. Thest babies are citizens; their fathers, who are themselves | forbidden to own land, promptly buy land in the name of their babies, they | themselves appearing as “guardians” jin the transaction. The “Gentlemen's Agreément,” whereby Japan is supposed to limit ‘the emigration of Japanese laborers |to the United States, has not pre- | vented the annual immigration from | soaring from an average of around 1910 to 8,900 in 1914, and 10,- 056 in the year ending last June. The Japanese now furnish 10 per cent of our total immigration. June alone saw 1,176 admitted to this country. | In Southern California the Jap- |Anese colonies at Riverside, Imperial and Los Angeles have grown huge- ly within the past two years. ‘There is a gigantic “leak” in our border, probably at the Imperial val |tey, where Japanese own farms | adjacent to the line, How many un- | official “immigrants” have crept thru this hole is a matter for conjecture, In California Japanese are concen- | trated in seven counties, where their land holdings are increasing day by day. You Can Still fanned by dis) 2,000 | All this explains why Californians, in a meeting which I attended at Sacramento a few days ago, created |a new statewide organization to con- trol Japanese situation and | adopted a plan of action that” will surely make some gentlemen at Washington turn over in bed and rub | their eyes. First in History Californians are going to deal with this international matter without “bothering” any legisla- ture, court or diplomatic official. They propose to handle it by It will be the first time in the history of the world where a © matter affecting international re- lations will have been passed upon directly by the people of a single state. | Secretary of State Bryan took a [hurried trip to California in 1913, when the state legislature was con- sidering an antialien land bill. succeeded in mitigating the terms that bill and keepimg it in conformity with the Taft treaty between the United States and Japan. If Secretary Lansing wishes to mitigate the terms of the initiative proposal now being fathered by State Senator John M. Inman of Califor- nia he will have a hard time reach- | ing it. The Inman proposal, dray up by the state legislative council bureau, is to be circulated among the peopile. If sufficient signatures are attached it will go directly on the ballot as a referendum proposi- | tion, to be accepted Or rejected by the voters themselves. ; It's Constitutional j This ig “direct legisiation” with an emphasis. ; Senator Inman, however, claims that the proposed law, as drawn, ” comes within the state constitution, the national constitution and does not exceed the limitations of the Taft treaty. 4 STATE LEADS NATION Data for a bulletin showing that Washington has a greater diversity of mineral deposits than any other — state is being compiled by Ernest N.

H. Klepper this morning. “Our headquarters are still being maintained at 407 Collins buflding, where we will receive Wonations from those who have not yet con- tributed to the Salvation Army.” Chairman Klepper announces jteat donations are at least $100,000 short of the campaign quota of |$250,000, but regardless of this large shortage every effort will be exert- ed by the campaigners to swell the \totals now in hand before Wednes- day evening. Campaign stunts |hehinosal have enlivened the business district for the past two weeks wel called off Saturday night and Sun- day, and from now on the voluntary Elk committee workers will confine their activities to a cleaning up of the campaign in the shortest time possible. When the campaign opened two weeks ago it was planned to raise | $260,000 for the construction of a | girls’ home and a workers’ hotel in | Seattle. With the quota not yet realized, the manner in which the amount actually raised is to be spent will be decided by an ory committee of Seattle business — men. It is likely that funds re- ~ ceived in the present campaign will be utilized for one of the proposed | buildings, either a home where poorly paid working girls may find &@ comfortable home, or a hotel for | working men combined with central offices for the Salvation Army. “Beattie still has a chance to pay _ its respects to the Salvation Army,” _ appealed Chairman Klepper Mon- day. “Let's get busy and make a grand eleventh-hour finish.” MY THANKS To W.

Dr. Matthews, at the First Presbyterian church Sunday evening, told his audience what he thought was the matter with Se- attle, And it was plenty, according to the reverend. For one thing there were too many Bolsheviki, and not enough policemen; too many six-hour-a- day workers, getting eight hours’ pay; too many cigarets, and too high taxes, and not enough plety, and too much poker playing and pool room activity. The reverend skipped the public dance, the movie, and chewing gum, but he pald his respects to about everything else. Those who were drawn to the temple expecting to hear Dr, Matthews take short ride on the neck of the police department were disappointed. Compliments Warren All he said was favorable. He }complimented Chief Warren, and thought all that was needed were more policemen and detectives, And if the reverend doctor's ad- vice about enforcing to the letter all the laws we have is followed, What’s the Matter With the Town? Lots, Says Matthews probably he's right. Taking for his text excerpts from the Old Mosafe law regarding thieves and property rights, Dr. Matthews spoke on the sacredness of property; on the sin of modern soclalism, that seeks to confiscate property, and on the lost sense of respect of the worker for his job. The reverend touched up the so- clety ladies who gamble for a cut glass dish; took a short flyer with the dope ring; declared that the Second and Third ave. pool halls were traps for the young; demand- ed that the prize fight law be en- tor against all “boxing exhibi- tions,” which he declared were brutal as well as illegal; lambasted public officials who object to the merger of city and county govern- ments; remarked that all gamblers were crooked, and that he wouldn't trust one with a lame elephant, and closed by entreating sinners of every variety to embrace the op- portunity thereby offered of leaving their sins. Applause mingled with the ser- mon, and everyone present seemed to have a good time, except the re- porter who tried w sing bass tor ’ the first time in 15 years, and who found the organist was playing it low down on him—about two octaves down, to be exact, There Is frost every month of the year in the Yukon region.
