Anti Alien Law Text and Proposed California Provisions
A mixed excerpt presents two topics: a drug advertisement for Swamp Root urging readers to request a sample from Kilmer Co, and a Sacramento bill draft by Attorney General Webb on aliens and real property. The anti alien sections grant citizenship like rights to aliens, allow property ownership via treaties, escheat through state action, and outline probate and leasehold implications, including a partial clause on leaseholds. The document reflects interwoven public notices and legal propositions from early 20th century California and federal treaty considerations.
