ALIENS DENIED LANDHOLDER
U. S. Supreme Court Ends Pacific Con
troversy Stateg Upheld.
Washington, D. C. Aliens can be
prohibited by states from owning land,
provided there is no treaty stipulation
to the contary, the supreme court an
nounced Monday in an opinion ending
a legal controversy, which for years
had been an issue on the Pacifc coast.
The question has shared in impor
tance with the controversy which was
waged over the right of Japanese to
citizenship until the court removed the
latter from the field of discussion by
a decision last term.
The issue reached the supreme court
in two cases, one from Washington,
brought by Frank Terrace and his
wife, and N. Nakatsuka, and the other
from California, brought by W. I.
Porterfleld and Y. Mizuno.
While tho cases presented only the
question of the proposed leasing of
land to ineligible aliens, the court
squarely mot the issue and passed up
on the broad question of the consti
tutionality of the law. It held that
states could, as Washington had, pro
hibit from owning land aliens eligible
to citizenship but who had not declar
ed their intentions, as well as aliens
ineligible for citizenship, or, as Cali
fornia had, restrict the prohibition to
aliens who had not, in good faith, de
clared intention to become citizens.
The states of California and Wash
ington sought to have the challenge
disposed ot upon the technicality that
in neither case had there been an
actual violation of the( law, there hav
ing been no leases made nor any
confiscation of land as provided by tho
two stato3 as penalty for tho violation
of tho law. They had been success
ful in having the attack decided in the
lower courts without going into the
merits of the constitutionality of the
laws.
The supreme court found, however,
that thoro was presented certain equit
able rights which entitled both the
land owner and the proposed Japan
ese lessor to a decision on the valid
ity of the laws before they had incur
red liability to punishment. It, there
fore, assumed full jurisdiction to re
view the case from every point of
view. The main decision was hand
ed down In tho Washington case, the
court explaining that the grounds upon
which the Washington alien land law
was attacked included those on which
the California act was assailed.
It not only found tho laws in har
mony with all rights guaranteed under
tho constitution, but In their direct
application to tho Japanese, it dis
cussed the treaty with Japan, conclud
ing that it guaranteed the subjects of
thai empire no such right as that for
which they contended in the matter of
owning or leasing land.

IN BUSINESS HOURS
Labor to keep alive In your heart

TP YOU want to impress your em
ployer as being a thoroughbred,
never let him see yuu adding lutie
finishing touches to your toilet, if
you must re-coat your face with pow
der, adjust your hair net, manicure
your nails or add more carmine to
your lips, be clever enough to do this
where he cannot possibly see you.
There are very few employers who
would willingly forbid their employees
from using the telephone for any per
sonal matters whatever. Where there
is such a strict ruling it is usually be
cause some few employees have tiken
advantage of telephone privileges and
have spent considerable time making
and receiving calls of a purely per
sonal nature during business hours.
Not only Is it unfair to use the time
for which you are paid to work in this
way or to make your employer pay for
your personal calls this is a trilling
matter but It really Is unfair to
make hlra listen to your telephone
small talk. You know how stupid
this usually Is to a third person, and
how annoying to overhear Mamie
Brown's coy telephone remarks to
her "best young man" when you are
attempting to transact some really
important business. If you are em
ployed In some one else's office, re
member this: If you are allowed to
receive phone messages during busi
ness hours see that they are brief. It
is quite possible to be brief to per
sons over the 'phone without being
rude.
Many an office worker seems to ho
quite unable to get through the morn
ing or afternoon without the taking
of almost constant nourishment In the
way of candy. Really this probably
does often help. Business lunches
are too often Inadequate and office
work Is fatiguing. Doubtless the
craving for sweets Is based on per
fectly normal appetite, and'sometlmes
It Is easier to get through a hard
day's work if we have this additional
nourishment. But It Is in very bad
form, nevertheless, to munch candy
during business hours and the young
woman who does so Is not acting in
her own best interest.
