INTERFERENCE WITH POLICE. | Assemblyman Duryea believes that pub- lic officers should be given the largest measure protection compatible with reason, and that the penalty for assault- ing or’ Interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty should be made suf- ficiently severe to deter persons from vio- lating the law in this way. ‘The bill is No. 15. It provides that every person who willfully resists, delays or ob- structs, or commits an assauit or battery | 'upon any public officer in the discharge | | of or attempt to discharge any duty of | his office, when no_other pegaity is pre- seribed, punishable by a flne not ex- j ceeding 0 and imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding five vears. The bili was referred to the Judiciary Com mittee, Assembly constitutional amendment No. 1 i# the title of a measure propesed by | Camp, which aims to revolutionize the rery of the Supreme Court as at| T nt constituted. The amendment pro- vides that the Sunreme Court shall con- sist of a Chief Justice and four Assc- ciate Justic All sessions of the vourt be held in San Francisco. Thert shall be three appellate districts, In each of which there shall be a distridt court of apy consisting of three justices. In each district court four regular ses- sions shall be held each year. The jus- | tices of the district courts of appeal sh: | be elected in their respective districts at u general State election and their term of office shall be twelve years, one to go out of office in four years, one in eight and the third in twelve vears. The Judi- | clary Committee will consider the bill. A revision of the scale of wages of the State Lunacy Commission so as to make those wages uniform in every part of the | State is contempiated by embly bill No. 11, introduced by Moore. It provides { for the amendment of sectfon 8 of article IT"of the °t establishing a State Lunacy | Commission, o that the commission may | be empowered to fix the annual salari of the resident officers, etc., of the State | hospit at the salaries shall be uni- { form ail over the te. For attendants and similar officials the bill prescribed the following as the minimum salaries | Attendants, $720; assistant attendants, | $660; vard attendants, $686; night attenc ants, $800; assistant matron, $720. All other employes are classified Into grades and the salarles in edch grade shall Ae | uniform in ail the Institutions. The bill was referred. | LAW FOR RAILROADS. | Some changes in the manner of assess- | | ing railroad property are contemplated by | 4 1 | Dougherty’s Assembly constitutional amendment No. nending section 10 of . {art e XIIT of the constitution. It pre- | seribes that the chise, roadbed, rails | and rolling f ock of all railroads operated {in more than one county in the State shall | be assessed by the State Board of Equal- |ization at their actual value, and the same shall be apportioned to the counties | cities, townships and districts in which ! such railroads are located, in proportion to the number of miles of raitway iying | in such counties, etc. Such apportion- ment shall be made by the State Board of | Equalization, but that of the cities, town- | | ships and districts of and in the several | compties for the purpose of taxation shall be made by the Boards of Supervisors of such counties respectively, after assess- | ment and apportionment by the State | Board of Equalization. People who are opposed to the collection of the poll tax will be pleased to learn that Johnson's Assembly constitutional jamendment No. 4 proposes to amend sec- tion 12 of article III of the constitution so that it will read that no poll tax shall ever be levied upon voters or persons entitled to become voters of this State. Another mendment on the same subject introduc- | ed by Johnson provides that a poll tax | shall not be collected from any male in- habitant who presents a lawful certificate | howing that he voted at the last pre-~ ceding general election. All poll' taxes collected shall be pald into the State school fund. In other words, a fine of §2 per year will be collected from citizens who may have failed to exercise their | prerogative at the polls, and from all| non-voters. | | | | | | | Civil service extension finds a friend in Assemblyman Camp's Assembly constitu- tional amendment No. 6. Under the provisions all appointments, transfers and promotions in the clvil service of the State and all cities and other political subdivisions thereof shall be made ac- cording to merit and fitness. which merit and fitness shall be ascertained by com- | v examinations. All appointees hold office during good behavior and efficiency and may be removed for | cause. | SUPREME COURT MAKE-UP. Another measure affecting the consti- tution of the Supreme Court is Prescott’ Assembly constitutional amendment No. 3. It proposes to increase the number of | Justices from six to nine and the depart- ments from two to three. The concur- rence of six of the nine Justices shall be | ry to pronounce judgment in | it is also proposed to abolish the | of Supreme Court Commissioner office’ and authorizes the Governor to appoint three additional Justices to hold office until their successors are clected and qualified. Whenever in the opinion of the Legislature the public welfare will war- rant it the number of Assoclate Justices of the Supreme Court may be reduced to six and the number of the departments | of the Supreme Court to two. The bill | was referred to the Judiciary Committee, Stockholders in building and loan asso- | clations are affected by Black's Assem- bly bill No. 120. It proposes to add a new section to the Civil Code to be known as section 636A, which shall provide that a | stockholder of a building and loan asso- clation desiring to withdraw from any | association or to surrender a part or the whole of his stock shall have the power to do so by giving thirty days’ notice in writing of such desire. On the expiration of such notice he shall be entitled to re- ceive the full amount paid by him to the association (lees the entrance fee, If any) with such proportion of the earnings as the by-laws may provide or as may have been fixed by the board of dlrectors; pro- vided that no more than one-half of the monthly receipts in any one month shall be applied to the payment of withdrawals | for that month without the consent of | the board of directors, and that no stock- holder shall be permitted to withdraw whose stock shall have been pledged to the association as security for a loan un- | til such loan shall have been fully paid. All withdrawals shall be paid in sue-.| cession in the order in which the notice shall have been given. Black also intro- duced another amendment to add to seo- tion 63A, providing that the . periodical or other payments (not including interest or premiums or loans) required by the | by-laws of any bullding and loan associa- tion doing business In this State to be paid in by the shareholders thereof shall constitute the paid in capital stock, and such pald in capital stock shall not be impatred or reduced except by loss or by withdrawals or repayments on account thereof. Whenever, after one year from the date of commencement of business of any association the paid In capital stock then in force and thereafter paid in shall be found to be impaired then such asso- clation shall be dgemed to be insolvent. | thir .
