He point- ed out to some extent that the growing commercial necessities of the State re- quire greater harbor facilities. for San 2 o Bay "he length of the wharves of that harbor is now limited by law, and it is proposed that something be done that this 1 can_be removed.

A SOLEMN TRUST. he .sovereign control. of the State over its navigable waters is a solemn trust, held for the benefit of all the peo. ple, which the State cannot absolutely re- sign in favor of municipalities.

HOMEOPATHIC AMENDMENTS. at length. It was pointed out that such a bill had been passed at the regular ses- sion and had received the approval of the Governor. Certain irregularities in the history of the measure, however, make it t least an unsettled proposition of law,” and further, to quote the Gov- ernor’s words, “I am satisfied that the act itself does not express the intention of the people acting through their rep- resentatives, and 1 have therefore called your attention to the defects in this most important legislation, so essential for the prosperity of farmers and other citizens of the Sacramento and San Joaquin val- leys, and to the business and property of the people of the various cities and towns along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their tributaries.” RIVER IMPROVEMENTS. The message next dealt with the Gov- ernor’s views on the amending of the law, as set forth in the sixth article of his message, 50 that river improvements may be extended above the mouth of the Feather River. Of this feuture of the mat. ter, he sald: “It was held in the opinion of the A torney General, rendered April 20, 1% that neither the Auditing Board nor the Commissioner of Public Works could ex.

The unds for the repeal of the wide tire law, as proposed in the seventh sec- | tion of the proclamation, are that the act is inartistically drawn, contains pro- visions of doubtful constitutionality and that its enforcement would cause troubic | and distre ) ds of farmers and | other persons using wagons within the Btate. SOMETHING ABOUT MINING. The eighth ground for the proclamation, the repeal of the mining law, was recom- mended to avoid possible litigation owing to a clerical error which crept into the first section of the act. HE SHIES AT LAND “RINGS.”| | The reasons given for proposed changes | in the law relative to the sale of State lands are that many thousands of acres of land, under the existing laws, have passed under the control of land ‘rings” at a alue of $1 25 an acre, to be at once resold by them at prices ranging from $i per acre and upward. | | ntil prover amendments are made to the laws relating to our public land, power, it is set forth in the message, should be vested in the Governor to with- draw from sale the school lands, scrip upon which is now being used to take the | o1 of the Valentine and Porterfield . he alleged frauds that have been prac- iced upon the State under t > existing | laws are discussed at length, and the Gov- | ernor gives it his opinion that it would have been his duty to convoke the Le lature in extraordinary se lon to amend the 1and ws had no other reason e isted for the call, “for it Is estimated, sa. the Governor, “that hundreds of thousands of dollars would be thereby gained for the State.” | LUNACY HENRY’S FORTE The necessity of empowering the State | Lunacy Commission to fix the salaries of | all officers and employes, as set forth in the eleventh ground for the prociamation, | is given as due to the fact that the com- mission cannot at present cut down the | salaries of such employes, although if such cut could be made their compensa- tion would still be ample. If this power be granted the commission, the Governor ts forth, it will save the people of the tate more than $20,000 annually for years to come. REMOVAL OF APPOINTEES. Regarding the request that the Legis- lature grant the Governor power to re- move appointees for cause the Governor says: “In the twelfth and fourteenth grounds of the proclamation 1 have suggested that the Governor be granted the power to re- move for cause officers appointed for | definite terms, and.in the fifteenth ground | 1 have advised that the power be like- wise vested in the Governor of temporar- | ily suspending for cause confirmees of the Senate. In thus requesting this necessary authority I have not harbored a single partisan thought nor desired such power | for political purposes, but my sole desire was that the responsibility which is laid upon the Governor by the people should not be hampered through his utter help- | lessness to remove officers who misbe- | have themselves in office to the detriment | of the public, or whku may be guilsy of crime. If the Governor is to oe meid responsible to the people, and if the party which nominated and elected him is to be held likewise responsible to the electors for the Gpvernor's conduct of State af- fairs, he should be invested with power commensurate with that responsibility. Personally I would prefer, were I not bound by my sacred oath of office, to be shorn of the responsibility for the acts of others, and would not desire even that the power of appointment to office should rest with me, for among the mest pain- ful and trying duties of office have been those when I have been ceaselessly im- portuned and entreated to grant positions to worthy ‘but rival candidates. AGNEWS SCANDALS APPALL. “The appalling scandals at the Agne: State Hospital, which were revealed dur- ing several investigations of that institu- tution, were of a character to show that the public welfare requires that full and summary power should be given the Gov- ernor to rectify, as far as possible, such infamous wrongs. Under the present con- | dition of the:law an officer, once appoint MBLYMAN McDONALD | ed for a definite term, may be gullty of | ASSE crime, continually dishonor his office, and | enjoy the fruits of his malfeasance by-| resorting to the courts to defend his | crimes.
