CALIFORNIA'S NEW UW8
MAKK POLITICAL PROGRESS
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 14 ? Tlio bird
sail - Webb antl ? alien land bill,
which aroused tho Nation because
It threatened to bccome a stumb
II tig block to poaco between the
Uulted States und Japan becamo a
' law on the 12th. During the time of
Its passage and the affixing of Gov
ernor Johnsou's signature and tho
date of Its effectiveness, the Jap
unes* of California have purchased
mauv hundreds of acres of land.
Uy the law, heroaftgr no alloii who
is not eligible to cltUeushlp can ac
quire land within tho state by pur
chase. He may, however, rent pr?>
pert% for not longer than thrse- yea
periods with renewals at the end of
these periods. The bill, which brught

huriy mission to attempt to pre
vent its passage, is almod directly at
the Japauestf who have a cqutred
vast tracts of the most fertile val
Jey lands which American citizens
have been forced to vitcqtq because
of the choapness of Japanese labor,
With the ant( - alien law, a|so
went |nto effect some of the most
radical and progressive laws yet to
?ipptar on tho stature books of any
state. Some of tliu uiwt Important
and far reaching are:
The compulsory compensation law
which effects every toller In the
stale excepting only those employed
lu agricultural, dairying or domestic
service. It imposes on tho employ
direct responsibility for accidents to
workmen during performance of the'4
duties and does away with contrlbut j
ory negligence and fellow servant
Tile uea-iignt uouieiiifiii, \vm<-u
has been held up by referendum
but which Is expected to remain on
the statuto books, affords a way to
eliminate seuil-reeognlzed social evil
establlsnments. Under tho law any
citizen may swear out a complaint
against the use of property for Im
moral purposes and may carry bis
dem-iud for action directly Into
court without huvIUK to depend on
tho district attorney for prosecution.
If the citizen proves his charges the
owii>-r Is deprived of all revenue
from his property for one year.
By the Mothers' pension law the
sum of $430,000 appropriated by th
legislature becomes Immediately
available for aiding dependent moth
ers. The sum of $6.25 per month
' Is given for each child, this sum to
t>e supplemented by n similar amount
from the couuty.
The minimum wago law provides
for the appolntmont of a commis
sion to luvestlgato Industrial condi
tion In California preparatory to
the establishment of minimum wage
Khtdules for women and children.
There are to be five commissioners;
one from the employers, one from
:he employes, one a woman and the
other two to be selected at the dis
cretion of tho governor.
Tbo discriminatory practices act
ilmt* chiefly at Standard Oil. It pro
hibits corporations from making a
llfforence In the prlco of goods sold
in different communities allowing of
?ourse for tho differences In freight
?ato9. Slashing rates to freeze out a
competitor or to prevent a now com
petitor from entering the field will
be eliminated.
