' SENATORS WRATHY OVER GOVERNOR GAGE'S DICTATION Braunhart, a Democrat, Used as the Guber- natorial Mouthpiece. OPPOSES THE SANTA FE CONSOLIDATION ‘l An Effort to Defeat the Effect Give the State a New Line in Competition With the Southern Pacific. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- TO, Feb. 10.—Governor Gage has ned the right to dictate to the Sen- f the State of California as to what do, and has selected one of the least popular members of the Demo- minority to act as his mouth- piece. Very naturally the Senate, and par- riy. the majority members of the riate, object to being made the in- ts by which the Governor per- forms thée wonders of his will. This, is a small matter when com- ed: With the indignation that is be- manifested b use the Governor ected Sammy Braunhart, the r. from San Francisco, to act as id. It is bad enough, they s ave the Governor of the State at- t gtrurne wever, the dictates of his promulgate 1 through Braunhart is an insult not wil yverlooked or to be allowed to go \ished.

It was at this point in jceedings that Senator Braun- .bpeared on the scene with a bill proposed to have subs ituted substitute bill agreed upon by nittee. Braunhart's bill, when <orutinized, was found to contain pro- which practically defeat (_he for which the proposed legis- 1 is_intended. It !,-_.\ just here that the fine Ttalian hand of the Governor was made ap- parent. In defense of his proposed sub- stitute: Braunhart stated that he rep- résented Governor Gage in the matter ana that the substitute bill was drawn up ‘at the Governor's request and in ac- cordance with the Governor's views on sib, that the Governor was not avorable to the bill proposed by the mmiitteé and that if it were passed the Senate he would veto it. ' In re- té° this astonishing statement unkart was informed that while (iage is recognized as the Governor tie.

Braunhart now declares his intention to act as the defender of the Governor on the floor of the Senate when the bill comes up for final passage and will at- tempt to substitute the Governor’s bill for it. In the meantime the Senators are nursing their wrath and awalting a favorable opportunity to demonstrate to the Governor that he is not the “whole show g e GOVERNOR’S ACTION AN INJURY TO THE STATE Many years ago, when the Atlantic and Pacific Raflroad, backed by the capitalists of the Santa Fe corporation, was extending a line of railroad from Albuquerque to the Pacific Coast, the Southern Pacific stepped in to block the extension. In order to checkmate the Santa Fe the Southern Pacific mana- gers rushed in and constructed a line from Mojave, on the desert, east to the Needles; on the Colorado River. There- fore in order to get into California the nta Fe was compelled to lease from yuthern Pacific the line from the Needles to Mojave. ~Accordingly a thirty-year lease was negotiated. Now the Santa Fe has acquired the Valley road, also the line from Los An- geles to San Diego, and to make the system complete for consolidation :d around that Braunhart is| in alterations in it | s of the Measube Which Will| agreed to purchase from the Southern Pacific the line from Mojave to the | Needles. In return for this line the Santa k. agreed to give the Southern | Pacific a line from Benson through also to appropriate $500,000 of the State funds for its purpose, and the other to allow counties to appropriate funds.to have themselVes properly represented. _ The first bill provides for a commission of fifteen, to be appointed by the Gover- nor from the two leading political parties of the State, they to serve without com- gensauon and furnish a bond of $20,000. he commission is to-handle- all moneys of the exposition and will have full .con- trol of all its affairs. The second bill al- lows counties to appropriate money for exposition - purposes, the money to be raised by a tax levy lasting over three years. Senator Dickinson introduced a bill ap- propriating $25,000 to pay the claim of Claus Spreckels for money ‘now being due and owing.” This is the money ad- | vanced by Mr. Spreckels to aid the drought sufferers. Senator Dickinson also introduced a bill appropriating $18,000 for the contingent expenses of the present session of the Sepate. Senator Morehouse introduced a bill pro- viding that no bequest to a charitablé or benevolent corporation: shall, when thére is surviving a parent, wife, husband or legitimate descendant of the deceased, éx- ceed more than one-third of the estate, provided that if it should be more than one-third it should be reduced by assign- ing the surplus over one-third -to- each deyisee in proportion to his inheritance. | Assembly bill 234, allowing the Supervi- | sors of San Francisco to appropriate $300,- 000 for the building of a county hospital, was passed after béing supported on the floor of the Senate by Francisco. Bliss’ Assembly bill 229, adopting the golden poppy as the State flower of Cali- fornia, was passed to third reading. Assembly constitutional amendment §, exempting church property from taxation, was passed to third reading after the adoption of Senator Wolfe's amendment taking from the privileges of exemption church property which has been rented. A SOLID DAY’S WORK IN THE ASSEMBLY ‘'CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 10.—To-day has been one of good solid work in the Assembly. For the past two weeks bills have been piling wyer of San Mexico to Guaymas. The Santa Fe people now come to the Legislature as a Federal corporation to secure legislation enabling them to carry out this agreement so that their system may be consolidated and bonds issued. If the Santa Fe were a Cali- | fornia corporation legislation would not be needed, as they could under existing | statutes purchase from the Southern | Pacific the link from Mojave to the Colorado River, When the bill was submitted “it" is | said that Governor Gage was appre- | hensive that the measure might pre- | gested an amendment. The Santa Fe managers incline to the opinion that if the amendment should be adopted the purpose of the measure, that is to say, | the complete consolidation of the Santa | Fe interests, would be defeated. | Dot opposing the original measure. | They hold in escrow the deeds to the line from Benson to Guaymas and are | anxiously awaiting legislative authority | to make the bargain effective. In the Assembly Judge Dibble and Mr. Mead understand the situation. sires of the corporation. EVIDENCES OF HASTE AN THE SENATE | Members Are Anxions to Hurry Up the Most Important Matters, CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- | MENTO, Feb. 10.—The Senate is showing | & desire to hurry matters a little. The end of the session is apgroaching faster than the bills are being considered and passed upon. The first symptoms of haste | appeared. to-day, when Senator Smith | produced a resolution providing for night sessions of the Senate, and another s | tom showed itself to-day in the ri tion by Smith of Kern to form an urgency | file and later in a discussion precipitated Boyce of Santa Barbara, when he | asked to withdraw one of his bills on the | second reading file and substitute another one farther down on the same file. Senator’s Smith's resolution to form an urgency file was referred to the Commit- | tee on Rules. It provided that next Tues- | day morning each member of the Senate | should be allowed to name one bill to be | placed on the urgency file, which would | insure its early cbnsideration. | The consideration of the secondsreading | file wa | proce No. then taken up, and when it had ded as far as Senator Boyce's bill b 6, Senator Boyce rose and asked to be allowed to withdraw that bill and put | in its place on the file his bill numbered | 36, over one hundred numbers farther | down the second reading file. Senator Rowell objected. He did not want bills jumped around the file unless the one substituted was of a nature simi- | lar to the one withdrawn. | swer, declared every Senator had a right | to the place of a bill on the file, and should he wish to withdraw a bill his | right to the place allowed him to substi- tute another bill on the same file. ““There will be a great deal of business transacted in this Legislature before the | end of the session, and it will be nec sary for Senators who have important unavoidably delayed to advance them in some way. I want this thing decided now, and I move that Senate biil 36 be put in the place of Senate bill 156 on the file, and | that I be permitted to withdraw number 1%. I want a rollcall on this motion and I will abide by the decision of the Sen- ate.” | Senator Leavitt supported Boyce's mo- | the 'opportunity would give for the getting of useless biils on the file for the purpose of holding a | place. Davis did not h@lieve any Senator | would resort to such a subterfuge. He | thought Boyce's motion a good one, for it expedited legislation by getting rid of one- bill at the same time that an impor- | tant measure was advanced for consider- | ation. He thought, however, it was wrong to have a new bill sprung suddenly on the Senate when they had probably studied the bills on file just ahead of the session, for the purpose of becoming familiar with them. As several Senators thought there was something in this point Mr. Boyce made his formal motion to fit the case—that Senator may substitute one of his own bills on the same file, provided, how- | ever, that the bill so substituted cannot be passed to a vote on the same day with- out the unanimous consgent of the Senate. Senator Smith had all along been trying to catch the eye and recognition of the chair, and just there he got his opportu- This motion would overturn the whole system of rules in force in this Senate,” | he said. *“I object to this jumping of bills forward on the file, and I object to the consideration of this motion. It should be referred to the Committee on Rules. We all have important work to do here which often takes us away from our seats in surance that while we were away some one has not jumped a bill forward on the file, and we have been deprived of the chance to vote for or against it. I make the pbint of order that this motion effects a change in the rules of the Senate, and therefore should go to the Committee on Rules be- fore being considered here.” The point of order was declared to be well taken. Then Senator Leavitt moved to suspend the rules and pass Senator Boyce's mo- tion. Davis supported the motion to sus- pend. ‘“‘Suppose you had a good bill be- fore a hostile committee,” he said, “and it has been delayed; thére ought to be some way to bring it forward for early consideration.’” \ Giliette thought the motion ought to go to the committee, and then, by a vote of suspend the rules was lost and Boyce's motion on substitution went to the Com- mittee on Rules. It will probably be fixed up to allow of substitution, but not jmmediate consider- ation, and will then be reported upon fa- vorably. Senator Wolfe submitted two bills on the Pacific Coast Exposition in the Senate this afternoon, one to create a commis- sion to have charge of the exposition and' | clude competition and therefore he sug- | The Southern Pacific managers are | They* have | | maps and documents to_explain the de- | Boyce, in an- | bills far down on the file that have been | | tion, but Luchsinger called attention to | which such a privilege the Senate, and we must have some as- | 17 ayes and 22 noes, Leavitt’s motion to | | on the files and the committees have | been so busy with rapidly accumulating | legislation that little time has been’ given | to the actual passage of measures be- | fore the House. Now, however, that the | third reading file is well fllled the legis- | lators realize that they have got to be up and doing in order to get things over | by the time their pay stops, or spend an- | other thirty days at law-making without | any compensation. i The only matters that Jame up to-day | to interrupt routine work were the unique ‘}\etu messages of the Governor, and the | case of Milton J.
