CALL HEADQUARTERS, BSACRA- MENTO, Feb. 21.—The cleanest cut cinch game that has sought the legalizing en- actment of the present Legislature has | been unearthed in Senate bill 648, and the people of the city of Placerville are up in arms to defend themselves against the | onslaught that is threatened on their treasury by a clique of grafters that has for years been seeking to make profit out | of the financial misfortune of historic oid “Hangtown.” Senate bill 648, If 1t be passed, will open the door of the city treasury to a cold | steal of $240,000, a bagatelle in some quar- ters, but a large enough amount to set lacervilie so far back in her finances that the ultimate result of the shock can- not be foreseen. Placerville's troubles have started as have the woes of many of the prosperous mining towns of the mountains—at the hands of the beneficent railroad. Back in the early sixties the people of old El Do- rado wanted a rallroad and they wanted it badly, so much so that they were will- ing to pay a portion of the price. The railroad wanted El Dorado and it wanted it just as bad as is the fashion of rail- | El Dorado should pay the price. The people of El Dorado and the cor- oration finally came together, and as the the Sacramento mpany, a fractional n_Pacific, agreed. to put & line through to Placerville. It was an expensive task, however. The high-| est bridges and the stiffest grades in the State characterized the route and the company suggested that the people at the | other end of the line bond their town for | 35,000 and turn the issue over to the com- | pany to be realized on. In return the company would put a line through to Piacerville without undue delay. The bargain was struck and the city went into debt and In good faith. The railrgad people started their road and stopped at Folsom, just forty miles from making good their promise. After years | of delay the work was begun again and the road finally attained Shingle Springs: there it stopped and nothing more was done uncil 13¥9, when the company had aved enough by exorbitant freights and | worse fares to close the fifteen-mile gap | between Shingle and Placerville.

ORATORY EXPENDED ON THE BLACKSMITH BILL CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 2L.—There was more ora- tory in the Senate at its session this even- ing, but it was of the jovial not the bit- ter kind, as was the case last night when young Mr. Works’ bill was passed upon. Senator Shortridge’s maiden effort in leg- islation, the bill to allow a lien upon a horse by the unpaid blacksmith who had shod {t, came on the urgency file for sec- and and third reading and for final pas- sege. There was a great deal of merri- ment at the expense of the bill, but hon- ors were about even. There was more parllamentary law expended on the prog- ress of the bill toward its final downfall than is usually accorded a Senate mea- sure, and when it came to voting on a motion to deny the bill a third reading the Senate got on the wrong track and actually passed it up for final passage instead of consigning it to the grave, for which the motion had intended it. This oversight was remedied, however, on the final Jausuge of the bill, for it was de- feated by a vote of 17 to 13, Senator Short- ridge having changed his vote from aye to Do In order to move for & reconsidera- on. Senator Dickinson made the first assault by moving to strike out the section pro- viding for the foreclosure of the liens. To this Shortridge objected and in doing 80 spoke lonf and earnestly for his meas- ure as one looking to the protection of honest labor and a help to the poor me- chanic, who, he said, referring to other measures regulating the methngs of court lprocedure, was as much entitled to pro- tection for his hard earned money as was the rich lawyer for his fat fee. Dickin- son’s amendment was jost. Then Smith pointed out some clause he was not satisfled with, and it took Short- ridge another ten minutes to explain why there was nothing wrong with the sec- tion Smith referred to. Curtin next.claimed the floor with an amendment that the provisions of the bill should not apply to sections of the State higher than an altitude of 1500 feet above the sea. This riled the Santa Clara Senator and he warned the Senate that some time some of them would have pet measures to pass and he would retaliate by mo- tions for delay and vexation numerous the two stenographers busy for a month. Curtin’s amendment was lost and, nothing daunted, he submi striking out the words *“ox wherever they occurred, for, said he, he wanted to protect them. This amendment, too, was lost. Bulla then submitted an amendment that found favor with the author of the bill, R e e o e e e e e e as J R R R R R S T R s =Y | fi | D e e R R R e Y | | | MEXICAN DAN: B R T R S RSl S e s as ;/I,QWI/% ATARE “PLL DO IT WITH MY LITTLE HATCHET."

Then Curtin moved that the bill be denied a third reading and the question was put, “Shall the bill be denied a third reading?’ ty-seven of the Senators voted an effort to deny the reading and found they had voted not to deny the reading and the bill was read again. The vote on rollcall stood 15 to 14 against the bill. Shortridge demanded a call of the absentees and then a call of the House. There was a rollcall on the cail of the House demanded and ordered, but it was stopped, and then Shortridge changed | his vote from aye to no, and when the vote had been announced he gave notice | of a motion to reconsider. It will prob- ably be dealt with to-morrow. —_———— STANFORD UNIVERSITY MUST PAY ITS TAXES cE i CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 21.—The plan to exempt a| great deal of the property of the Stanford | Unversity from State taxation was ruth- | lessly downed in the Judiciary Committee | of the Senate this evening.

There were not many meeting, nor was Senator Morehouse, who was supporting the amendment in the Senate, at the committee to speak for his measure. There was a quorum, however, and the matter was referred back with | the adverse recommendation by a vote of | 4 to 3, Senator Sims casting the deciding | vote, because, as he said, he considered it | a very dangerous plece of legislation.

In the amendment the limits of the har- bor were changed to include both the property the courts had decided belonged | to the city and State and that belonging | to individuals, but it was provided that the harbor commissioners should have risdiction over that erllnn only which State.

MORE BUGS FOUND | Guirey. IN THE SCHOOL BILL CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 21.—Senate bill 36, with its mate, Assembly bill 639, not only contains the amendment to section 1617 of the Po- | itical Code affecting the tenure in office of the teachers in San Francisco, but it appears there are other “bugs” in it. Section 1674 is so amended that not only will the number of principals be reduced, but that teacher's horror, the “inspector, will be re-established in his old pesition. The amended section reads as follows: “In schools of more than one teacher the board of school trustees or city Board of Education must designate one of the teachers as principal of the school, tire school; provided, that nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent boards of trustees and beards of education from selecting a principal to supervise the work of in_one school distriet. San Francisco constitutes but one school district, and there would be noth- ing to prevent, if this amendment car- ries, boards of education from districting the ‘city and appointing “Inspectors” un- der the name of ‘“‘principals,’” the *‘Pooh-bah” Btone board, b; John Swett and man ‘which other educators were thrown out of the School Depart- | ment some Section I ears ago. is so amended as to lengthen entering the high school, from eight to ten vears.
