We recommend the Legislature to favorably consider the Introduction of voting machines now in successful opcratioa tn many States. The semi-centennial of Callfornia’s admission to the Unfon is a scason of congratulation and rejolcing among our people and for the renewal of our alleglance to those eternal prin- clples of free government under which our splendid growth and development have proceeded and her future prosperily and happiness Zuaranteed.

We therefore advocate reasonable increase of the university revenues through the action of our next Legislature. We also favor all necessary aid,and the required legisia- tion to harmonize our school system so as to meet the wants of the people in the elementary as well as in the higher de- partments.
