From the Archives: 1913 California law prohibits Asian immigrants from owning land

19/05/202321/04/2025dansa

On May 19, 1913, California Gov. Hiram Johnson signed the Webb-Hartley Law prohibiting “aliens ineligible to citizenship” from owning farm land, a measure targeting Asian immigrants, particularly Japanese farmers who were perceived as a threat by some in the agricultural industry. Seven years later, the state barred anyone with Japanese ancestry from buying farmland.

The Alien Land Laws were invalidated in 1952 by the Supreme Court of California.

From the Evening Tribune, Monday, May 19, 1913:

ALIEN LAND BILL IS SIGNED BY GOV. JOHNSON

SACRAMENTO, My 19.—Governor Johnson signed today the alien land bill, against which Japan protests, and which the California legislature passed by an overwhelming majority over the remonstrances of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. The act will go into effect 90 days from date, or August 17.

Biden’s proposal would let conservationists lease public land much as drillers and ranchers do

15/05/202321/04/2025dansa

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Biden administration wants to put conserving vast government-owned lands on equal footing with oil drilling, livestock grazing and other interests, according to a top administration official who defended the idea against criticism that it would interfere with industry.

The proposal would allow conservationists and others to lease federally owned land to restore it, much the same way oil companies buy leases to drill and ranchers pay to graze cattle. Companies could also buy conservation leases, such as oil drillers who want to offset damage to public lands by restoring acreage elsewhere.

Tracy Stone-Manning, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the proposed changes would address rising pressure from climate change and development. While the bureau previously issued leases for conservation in limited cases, it has never had a dedicated program for it, he said.

LETTER: Saanich ignores the encroaching properties of municipal land

15/05/202321/04/2025dansa

Across Saanich, dozens, if not hundreds, of properties encroach upon municipal property and, despite current CAO Brent Reems’ assurances (report to council, April 2018), little is being done to prevent it. Thousands of square feet of public property, worth millions of dollars, upon which no taxes are being paid, have been illegally appropriated by homeowners for their sole use and enjoyment. People who know how to manipulate the system are obtaining permits for fences and hedges at the expense of the majority.

In 2020, the Saanich Engineering Department issued a boulevard permit, contrary to policy and for which there is no charge, for a fence. Granting the homeowners a strip of property worth roughly $16,000 and with the consent of the Bylaw Department. In just the last year I have appealed to the Bylaw Department to enforce infractions in clear violation of bylaws dealing with encroachments on roughly 2,000 square feet of municipal property, yet Brent Reems maintains the municipality’s policy of discretionary enforcement and nothing has happened.

While many of these encroachments endanger public health and safety by forcing pedestrians to walk on roadways [an illegal act in itself, MVA part 3, section 182(2)] the municipality regularly turns a

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 06: Britain's Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex leaves Westminster Abbey following the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 6, 2023 in London, England.

Prince Harry has landed back in California just 16 hours after his father’s coronation.

The Duke of Sussex caught a British Airways flight shortly after King Charles’ service finished and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport at about 7.30pm local time (3.30am UK).

This was just 16-and-a-half hours after the coronation commenced at 11am on Saturday.

British Airways flight attendants confirmed to the PA news agency that Harry had been on the flight but said they were not permitted to discuss his trip.

The duke was reuniting with his son after Prince Archie turned four on Saturday, spending the day with his mother, the Duchess of Sussex, at their US home.

Harry’s appearance at the coronation marked his first public appearance alongside the royals since he lambasted his family in his controversial memoir Spare.

His book contained claims his father put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of his wife.

There was also the incendiary claim his brother, the Prince of Wales, physically attacked Harry during an argument about Meghan.

Transition to EVs shakes up the familiar Jaguar, Land Rover luxury brands

29/04/202321/04/2025dansa

Say goodbye to the Land Rover brand, and get ready for a smaller, much more expensive model line from Jaguar.

Those are the top-line takeaways from Jaguar Land Rover’s new strategy, as first reported by Automotive News.

The storied Land Rover brand name will reportedly be relegated to a “trust mark” badge on tailgates — perhaps elsewhere; the announcement is short on details. The Jaguar brand — so esteemed that Ford paid $2.5 billion for it in 1989 — will finally abandon efforts to become a full-line luxury brand, shifting upmarket to build fewer — one hopes more profitable — vehicles that compete with the top of Mercedes’ and BMW’s lines. Prices will start north of $125,000 and likely elevate into Rolls-Royce/Bentley territory.

Land Rover, on the other hand, will grow into three separate brands: Range Rover, Discovery and Defender.

My first thoughts? It’s fair to view highly publicized “rebranding” campaigns skeptically.

A billion here, a billion there

Ford paid $2.75 billion for Land Rover in 2000, for those of you scoring at home. Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover acquisitions paid off. Ford sold Jaguar and Land Rover to current owner Tata Motors of India for $2.23 billion in 2008.

This Lego Defender 90 Is the Cheapest Way to Get a Vintage Land Rover

24/03/2023dansa

The current Land Rover Defender is nicely designed, comfortable, incredibly capable off-road and can be ordered with a 518-hp V8. And yet, it just doesn’t have the same charm as the Defender it replaced. There’s just something special about the classic design. But if you can’t justify buying a bare-bones off-roader with questionable-at-best reliability, maybe this Lego Land Rover Defender 90 set will be more your speed.

In case you missed it:

To be clear, though, this set isn’t going to be cheap. It costs $239.99, which isn’t exactly Lego Millennium Falcon money, but it’s also not something you’ll probably pick up for your kid’s classmate’s birthday party. Unless you just happen to be that kind of generous. In that case, hell yeah, and thank you for spreading the Lego love.

Queens Assemblyman Clyde Vanel crash lands plane on Long Island beach

18/03/2023dansa

Queens Assemblyman Clyde Vanel crashes and lands a small airplane he was piloting on a Long Island beach Friday afternoon in a scary scene that was captured on video.

Vanel told CBS 2 that he and a friend took off in his single-engine Beechcraft from Brookhaven Airport around 2 pm “to practice some maneuvers” in the nice weather.

Suddenly, however, a pleasant day in the skies turned to terror when the plane’s engine lost power.

“Of course I was panicked. I didn’t understand what was going on with the engine,” Vanel said.

But Vanel regained his composure and said that his emergency training kicked in.

“Airspeed, find the best place to land, communicate and then exit,” he said. “The best place for me to land was a small area that had a beach that wasn’t around people, that wasn’t around stuff.”

The single-engine Beechcraft landed on a beach in Shoreham.

Only one woman was on the Shoreham beach at the time — Caelyn Canace, who captured the heart-stopping landing on video, obtained by CBS 2.

The dramatic footage shows the plane descending fast before landing on its belly on the sand.

The company sees room for hotels on vacant land near Routes 41, 42 in Deptford

14/03/2023dansa

DEPTFORD — The thriving hospitality business here may add more hotels off Route 41 near Deptford Center Road, a traffic-heavy strip that already hosts four relatively new hotels.

A Wilmington firm, SSN Hotels LLC, wants to build two hotels on land at the rear of Harmony Lane, according to information before the township’s planning board.

The location is off Route 41, or Hurffville Road, a street that currently holds four hotels.

The last official use of the partially wooded property was a storage lot for trash containers and construction vehicles and equipment, according to reports.

The hotels’ site plan was set for a planning board review on March 8, potentially with a vote on final approval. That meeting was canceled with no new date set for a hearing, according to the township.

Regional partnership reunites Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation with land

20/02/2023dansa

Nearly 7,800 hectares of ranch lands, along with grazing licenses for 56,000 hectares of land, are being returned to Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation (SXFN) as part of treaty with the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (NStQ).

“Our ancestors would be pleased with the acquisition of the BC Cattle Company,” Kukpi7 Hillary Adam, Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation. “Our Elders brought the land issue forward to governments many times over the years, but it always fell on deaf ears. Our resolve to acquire this land has never wavered, even after we learned the ranch sold earlier this year to a private purchaser. We never gave up hope that it would be ours someday and today with Stswecem’c Xget’tem as the new owners, we have something to celebrate.”

Kukpi7 Adam continued: “The concept of acquiring a fee for simple lands like ranch lands is not new to us. In 2008, Stswecem’c Xget’tem pursued the Circle S Ranch as part of the treaty land package, but at that time fee-simple lands were off the table, non-existent in the government’s mandate. Fast forward to 2022. Times have changed. Today, we’re witnessing a giant step in reconciliation with the provincial government, reconciling past injustices by returning land
