tion mid it is declared this sum in
onliicly inadequate.
Jeffrey declares tho bill is uncon
stitutional in thnt it is an attempt of
tlio legislature to limit tho powers of

SF.ATTLK, Wnsh., April 38. That
Japan tdmuld bo amused over tho
proposed notion of California in re
fu.sing to permit oitmuis of thnt
country from owning land, when a
law forbidding any foreiguor to hold
laud is nu tho statue books of this
state, is enuring enmmont bore. It
is nlso noteworthy thnt nn effort Is
being mudo to repeal this law, so tho
state may benefit by immigration
through tho Paunmn canal.
Tlio Washington constitution, ex
cluding aliens from owning land, hns
existed hero since 1S80, and tho cham
ber of conunerco hero succeeded m
getting tlm recent legislature to sub
mit nn nmeudinent to tho people,
which would throw tho doors open to
foreigners. This nmeiidment, which
is to come up nt tlio election of No
vember, 101-1, would also permit rest
dent JnpmiCM nml Cliinono, to own
land. It is not generally believed,
however, that tho chamber of com
meruo amendment will bo ratified.
