(Continued from Pas?* One)
ships and electing to remain here,
gradually amassed a competance
and settled down to become
American “burghers.”
The new law now changes that
situation. It specifies that, on
and after July 1, any alien who
came to this country before June
3, 1921, and who cannot produce
satisfactory evidence of arrival,
may secure a certificate of regis
try from the government by sub
stantiating his claim. This cer
tificate will take the place of the
certificate of arrival. It will cost
the alien $20, and will legalize his
residence in this country. Two
years after he secures his special
certificate he may apply for citi
zenship.
■Derivative Certificates
The law clears up also the cases
of tens af thousands of derivative
citizens of this country. For the
first time the wives and children
of citizens, who by relationship
are citizens themselves, may ob
tain a citizen certificate issued in
their own names—at a cost of $10.
Heretofore such a certificate could
not be obtained at all, wTith the
results that grievous difficulties
were suffered.
There was the case of a foreign
born woman who had obtained a
divorce from her husband and
who could not sail abroad to visit
her mother because she could not
prove her citizenship.. Her sailing
would probably have meant her
returning as an alien, if at all.
Yet she was a bona fide citizen
by virtue of the fact that her hus
band, whom she had married in
1921, had been naturalized during
that same year. His refusal, after
divorce proceedings had been in
tituted, to acqaint her with the
number of his citizen certificate
or of the date or place where he

ererers Alaska Shop.
had received it, left her unpro
tected.
; The new law corrects, too, many
cases in which witnesses have had
to be brought from long distances
to testify for Applicants- The old
law said that an alien’s witnesses
from another State could testify
by deposition or by affidavit with
out appearing in person, whereas
a witness from the same State,
knowing the applicant for at least
a year preceding his application
for citizenship, must testify in
person. This anomaly resulted in
hardship. The new law demands
the personal appearance only of
those witnesses who have known
the applicant for the six months
preceding his application and dur
ing his residence in the county
where he applies-. All others may
testify by deposition.
As to Continuous Residence
Continuous residence, so long a
football in naturalization, is at
last nailed down. Generally speak
ing, an alien may leave this
country for visits abroad, up to
one year, and yet not be held to
interrupt the five-year period con
tinuous residence demanded of
him for citizenship. Previous to
this, some courts ruled that nine
months broke up the continuous
residence, while other courts held
that two years were allowable.
One court permitted an absence
of nine years to be accepted in
the same term that another court
refused to grant citizenship be
cause of the applicant’s absence
of siz months. The alien was
never sure; the judge’s personal
attitude, and not the law, deter
mined the issue. But now the
;law is inflexible: let the alien
stay away a year or more, and
regardless of the reason, he can
not be naturalized until he can
again prove continuous residence
of five years.
While the new law overcomes
many technicalities that were em
barrassing and discouraging to
the alien, it imposes upon him
greater cost in obtaining citizen
ship. Whereas up to now, first
! papers have cost $h they will
after July 1, cost $5. Nor can
these first papers be obtained un
less they are accompanied -by
proof of legal entry to this
country,, and such proof, called
certificate of arrival will also
cost $5. Second or final citizen

ship papers, formerly costing $4,
will now cost $10. In other words,
for the legally arrived alien citi
zenship will cost a total of $20
as contrasted with the $5 fee of
before. If he cannot prove his
legal entry, he must pay $20 for a
special certificate of arrival, in
stead of $5 for the ordinary cer
tificate, and that brings the cost
of his papers from $20 to $35.
An individual derivative certificate
costs $10- If papers are lost,
duplicates cost $10 instead of 85
cents to $1.50 under the old law.
I For a family of five to be
naturalized, provided all of them
can prove that they are legally j
here, the cost will be: Citizenship
I for father, $20; citizenship for
mother (no first papers necessary),
$15 citizenship certificate for
three children, $45; total $80. All
of this is payable at one time.
The new law itself contains
many important and helpful
provisions other than those en
umerated. It represents a con
structive bit of regulation that
has long been awaited. It leaves
room for more adjustments to new
conditions,' but corrects come of
the most grievious faults out of
the 1906 law
