NO LAND FOR
THE JAPANESE
iJVVIS SFONSEHS BILL WHICH
FORBIDS THEIR OWNING LAND
IN STATE.
SOUTH PLATTE MERCHANT HUX TlTVmrf A1PI?
ORER AT OMAHA LAST WEEK. Willi Luliuli
AND. SOCIETY
Representative E. S. Davis hue in
troduced a bill in tho House ot Rep
resentatives which forbids a citizen
t; Japan or China from owning real
estato in Nebraska. It is argued that
these peoplo by tho laws of tho United
States government cannot becomo clt
nens, that they bring oriental cus
toms with thorn whon they come to
this Country, that they tend to settle
n colonies, that thoy do not take to
our ways of living, that thoy kill till
competition becauso their standard of
Hving is so low, that thoy can never
intermarry with tho white citizens and
yj will always' presont a raco prob-
iom, and that Japan bolng tho most )
likely nation with which wo will over
go to war, it is unwlso to havo any
urge number of her citizens in our
r-ildst.
On the other hand it is hold thut tho
Japanoso aro thrifty, that they aro not
nereaslng in numbers in this state,
!hat they aro good farmers and make
and produce good crops, that they are
Jaw abiding, not one having been in
the courts during the past year, that
they would becomo cltizons if they
could, that they arc more aesirablo in
any community than Moxicans who
havo the chanco to becomo citizens nnd
do not, and that thoy do not constitute
a problem hero in Nebraska.
Tho bill is the same as the one
jiassed by tho California legislature
and it is argued that now is tho time
to take up tho matter before things
get any worse. To this it is replied
that California has her Japanese prob
lem, Georgia has her negro problem,
Arizona her Mexican , problem and
other states have their particular raco
problems but none of them,is Nebras
ka proDiem.
The bill was killed in j committee
it week but Mr. Davis gave notice
.at he would fight tho matter. out on
.'ie floor of the house on Monday.
