Alien Land Bill Dominates State House Debates
The house, meeting in three daily sessions, passed the alien land bill despite Republican objections. It bars non resident aliens and foreign corporations from owning land, with land already held reverting to the state after five years. The body also fought over a fees and salary bill and addressed a Botkin impeachment inquiry, while a railroad bill faced senate delay. A relief measure for a widow and a labor anti blacklist provision plus a constitutional convention resolution were acted on amid broader fiscal and tax changes.
