Think About Your Boy !
MR. FARMER! By the time your boy grows up and
becomes old enough to take up in his own name one of
the new Government Irrigated farms in the Big Horn
Basin or North Platte Vatley it will be too late for him
to get one. Will you let his chance go by ? Is this fair
to the boy ? What will he think of your foresight when
he seeks for land and finds out that you neglected to
take in 1909, almost as a gift, an Uncle Sam Irrigated
Farm that in 19 19 will cost him $150 per acre? Of
. course, if he has the price, all right, but what if he has
weat if he has not ?

Representative Howard Intro
duces Jap Segregation Bill.
Senators Miller and Oltls Would Raise
8tate Taxes From Corporations.
Amendments to Pure Food Law.
Howard's Jap BUI Is In.
Lincoln, Feb. 9. Tho house voted
(15,000 for a Nebraska exhibit at tho
Alaska-Yukon exposition. Of this
amount, 3,000 is reserved to pay pre
miums on Nebraska exhibits.
Taylor of Custer country Introduced
in the house a bill providing that
stockholders of a banlt may borrow an
amount ot money from the bank equal
to 80 per cent of the deposits ot the
stockholders. Another bill he Intro
duced provides that the stockholders
of a bank must have an amount of
property other than bank stock, equal
to their stock It was Mr. Taylor's
intention to offer his first bill as an
amendment to the bill to guarantee
bank deposits whenever that is gener
ally finished, but he concluded ho
would introduce his bill as a separato
measure.
Representative- Howard of Douglas
county introduced In the house a bill
to segregate Japanese and Chinese la
borers from American workmen. The
measure provides that the Japanese
and Chinese must not work in com
pany with white men and must not be
employed in the same building. How
ard bays his bill was evolved to erad
icate conditions existing in South
Omaha, where Japanese laborers are
employed in the packing houses.
To provide that all state taxes shall
come from the taxation of corporations
on the valuation of their tangible prop
erty, Senators Miller and Ollls have
introduced a bill Into the senate to
amend the constitution.
State Food Commissioner Mains has
prepared sovoral amendments to the
dulry section of the pure food law,
which he will ask to have passed by
the legislature. These amendments
provide tor an assistant dairy com
missioner under the deputy food com
missioner; for licensing cream receiv
ers as well as testers; for the use of
a six-inch bottle in tho testing; nine
gram samples of cream and for mak
ing the butter fat test a range of from
120 to 140 degrees fahrenhelt.
Talking of Sifting Committee.
Among the matters first to come be
fore the legislature. In both branches,
this week will be some method of ex
pediting business. Already members
are considering the probable action of
a sifting committee, which, It Is be
lieved, will soon be named Progress
has been made slowly thus far and it
is believed that the leaders will from
now on insist on faster action
Many of the paitisan measures re
cently introduced In the use by the
Democrats are expected to receive
consideration this week, but it Is doubt
ful Just what sort or reoeption they
will receive In the senate in the event
of any of them reaching that body.
These bills have raised considerable
antagonism In the Republican tanks
and that branch of both houses will
be very active In opposition to the
measures.
Activity on the part of the woman
suffrage movement has not met with
much success thus far. The bill pre
pared on that subject is on the general
file of the senate, but no senator thus
far has had the temerity to propose
action on It in that body. The bill re
quires a three-fifths vote, and while
there Is said to be a possibility of it
passing the senate should it come up
for final disposition, it is not believed
It can pass the lower house.

KEEPS UPJFFORTS,
President Wires Another Mes
sage to California.
Bends Long Telegram to Speaker ot
House Stanton and Says Government
Is Working on Other Lines to Same
End as Its Legislature.
"The administration's policy, is to
combine the maximum of efllciency in
achieving the real object which tho peo
ple of California have at heart, with
the minimum of friction and trouble,
while the misguided men who 'advo
cate such action as this against which
1 protest are following a policy which
combines the very minimum of effi
ciency with the maximum of insult
and which, while totally falling to
achieve any real result for good, yet
might accomplish an Infinity of harm."
In this language tho president, in a
telegram to Speaker P. A. Stanton of
the California assembly, set forth tho
government's view of the Japanese
school legislation now before that
body.
The president stated, that the bill
gives grave and just cause for irrita
tion and that the government would
bo obliged immediately to tako acUon
in the federal courts to test such leg
islation because It Is held to be clearly
a violation of tho treaty obligations
of the United States. The telegram
to Speaker Stanton was sent only aft
er a conference with Senator Flint
and Representative Kahn of California
and F. K. Lane of the Interstate com
merce commission.
In the telegram to Speaker Stanton,
the president said: "I trust there will
be no misunderstanding of the federal
government's attitude. We are zeal
ously endeavoring to guard the inter
est of California and of the entire west
in accordance with the desires of our
western people. By friendly agree
ment with Japan we are now carrying
out a policy which, while meeting the
interests and desires of the Pacltic
slope, Is yet compatible not merely with
mutual self respect, but with mutual
esteem nnd admiration between tho
Americans and Japanese. The Japa
nese government Is loyally' nnd' In
good faith doing Its part to carry out
this policy, precisely as the American
government is doing. The policy aims
at mutuality and obligation and be
havior. In accordance with it tho pur
pose is that the Japanese shall come
here exactly as Americans go to Ja
; wfh,ch ls ,n C?Cnl ' , i S" '
students, persons engaged in Interna-
t,.onal ". men who sojourn for
pleasure or study, and the like, shall
have the free access from one coun
try to the other and shalhbe sure of
the best treatment, but that there
shall be no settlement In mass of the
people of either country In tho other.
During the last six months, under this
policy, more Japanese have left this
country than have come In, and tho to
tnl number in the United States ha3
diminished by over two thousand.
"If In the next year or two the ac
tion of the federal government falls
to achieve what It is now achieving,
then through the further action of the
president and' congress It can be made
entirely efficient. I am sure that the
sound judgment of the people of Cali
fornia will support you, Mr. Speaker,
in your efforts. Let me repeat, that at
present we are actually doing the very
thing which the people of California
wish to be done, and to upset the ar
rangement under whlqh this is being
done can do no good and may do great
harm. If, In the next year or two, the
figures of Immigration prove that tho
arrangement which wbb worked so
successfully during the last six months
Ib no longer working successfully, then
there would be ground for grievance
and for the reversal by the national
government of its present policy. But
at present the policy is working well
and until It works badly It would be
a grave misfortune to change it, and
! when changed it can only bo changed
effectively by the national govern
ment." California Senate Delays Action.
Only Ave senators In the California
legislature favored agitation of the
anti-Japanese question when the mat
ter was called up by Senator Marc An
thony of San Francisco. The senate
decided, by a vote of 25 to 5, to defer
j ,mtn next Thursday its action upon
the report of the committee on execu
tive communications, which advises
against legislation aimed at the Japa
nese. Senator J. B. Snnford intro
duced a joint resolution asking con
gress to include Japanese in the pro
visions of the Geary exclusion act
Senator Anthony's bill providing for
submitting to the voters at the next
state election the question of prohibit
ing Asiatic immigration was favorably
reported.
Speaker Philip A. Stanton took the
floor in tho California assembly and'
secured, by a strong personal appeal,
unanimous consent of the assembly to
postpone further action on the Japa
nese school segregation bill until next
Wednesday. He declared he had in
formation, which he could not reveal,
that proved the assembly was tread
Ing upon dangerous ground in pass
Ing the anti-Japanese bill Thursday.
The governor sent a special mes
sage to the house raising the point of
the bill's constitutionality and this
was the subject of a long debate, dur
ing which It was suggested by leadors
on both sides that the measure he re-
) ferred to the committee on Judiciary
and submitted to the attorney general
for uu opinion as to its legality.
