Bacremonto Cal Feb i President
Rouevlf letter to Oov Olllett on the
Japanese question made public this
morning was eagerly read by mem
bers of the legislature A M Drew
author of the bill prohibiting aliens
from holding land In this state said
After a cursory reading of the let
ter I am determined to stand for the
bill as It has been amended A to
the presidents view In this latest let
ter I take no exception but I do be
lieve that Secy Root In the letter
enclosed hv the president takes an
unwarranted stand against all legisla
tion proposed against the Japanese
My object In introducing the bill I
may frankly state was to keep the
Japane from gutting a foothold In I
California
They are not and should not be
allowed to become clthwns of this I
country and they should not have
the right of property ownership We
are confronted with a serious situa
tion III this regard and I shall make
every effort to have my measure pre
venting all alien from owning land
panned through the legislature
1Iover L Johnson author of the
bill prohibiting Japanese
being mom
bore of eortiorations and providing for I
their segregation said
The presidents letter has no more
effect on me than water on a duck
bck I have
pack not changed my mind
In the least about the wisdom of en
acting these antiJapanes laws AH
to the strength of this sentiment In
tbe assembly I have no Idea as I
have not approached a single member
on the question I only know that I
shall stand pat
On motion of Johnson of Sacra
mento the rules were suspended and
the Drew bill was received as amend
ed by the author and passed upon by
Lha judiciary committee Tile measure
will be the first special order of busi
ness on Wednesday
Transue of Lo Angeles made an ef
fort to defeat the motion to suspend
the rules lie declared that as Drews
bill bad been so amended that It was I
practically a new measure It should
take the regular course of a blU In

ENDORSES NATIONALS ACT
luau NMIclHtlllll lit tntllt MrH All
IIHHCM tt Slierley 1 kill liru I It Act
Tin Ctah Association of Credit Men
hit formally endorsed the action nf
the National association In New York
In PiiNhlng through Congress an
amendment to the National Hank
ruptc act embodied In the Sherley bill
tli ft 21i2f
The accomplishment of settlements
between a debtor and his creditor is
authorized after be has undergone a
proper examination but before he ha
been adjudged bankrupt The object
is when possible to relieve a deserv
ing debtor of the stigma of bank
ruptcy and to facilitate hi resump
tion of buHlneax usefulness under con
dltloiiH satisfactory to hi creditors
Another amendment doe away with
a practise which has caused much
just complaint The courts have ren
dered decisions In effect that if a
debtor owes his creditors say 1000
and the creditor having no security
make a rabaoauont lean of tit to
a
preceding loans his security 111 good
as to both loam even within the four
months period or perchance the day
before the bankruptcy These deci
sions are now Iwlng made use of by
creditors to secure unjust and Inequit
able advnnUKea over other creditors
and are subversive of the plain pur
pose of the law that all creditor of
the same claM shall be treated alike
Another change In the law is a provi
sion that It shall ppply to any
moneyed buelneM or commercial
corporation exoept a municipal rail
road Insurance or banking corpora
tion In effect this makes a general
rule of application with jrietlnlte ex
ceptions and any corporation Is In
cluded which does not clearly come
within these specified exceptions
Heretofore the exact opposite has be n
the case and a good deal of confusion
and delay have resulted
