POLITICAL CHEFS WHET KNIVES
FOR REAPPORTIONMENT BIRD
Textbook Dressing and Conservation Jelly
To Spice Final Feast
GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
[Spccia/ Dispatch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO. De«v 17- —Reappor-
tionment, the free textbook and water
conservation questions will hold the
center of the stage in this, the promised
last week of the extraordinary session
of the thirty-ninth legislature.
Legislative interest and, thanks to
the extraordinary efforts of self-seek
ing politicians, public interest is cen
tered chiefly in the reapportionment
question which should develop into
something like a genuine battle tomor
row.
That battle wyi be fought out be
tween the two houses and fought out
on th* question of legislative reappor
tionment. The work of reapportion
ment for congressional and equaliza
tion districts virtually is untouched,
although several bills designed to effect
such reapportionment have been intro
duced.
COMMITTED TO COUNTRY CAUCUS
The assembly stands committed by a
small majority vote to the country
caucus scheme of reapportionment,
which is a frank attempt to deprive
both San Francisco and Los Angeles
of the legislative representation they
are entitled to under the provisions of
the act.
The senate is committed by a virtual
ly unanimous vote to the Thompson
bill, which gives San Francisco and Los
Angeles counties their constiuttional
representation so far as numbers are
concerned, if the distribution is made
on a crazy quilt plan.
The senate ii in possession of the as
sembly bill, which reposed quietly
enough over Sunday in the archives of
.ipportionment committee. The
senate or Thompson bill has passed
gjh the assembly reapportionment
committee and is before the whole
louse without the dignity of a recom
mendation either favorable or unfav
orable.
,II>T A CHOICE OF BOXES
celerity with which the respec
tive houses get at their work my de
termine which bill wll be the bone to
be gnawt-ii at in free conference. If
Bsembly takes up the Thompson
bill tomorrow and amends it by strik
ing out all but the title and inserting
the text of the country caucus bill it
will V>e back to the senate before the
upper house has an opportunity to give
ountry caucus bill the reverse
English. Jn either case there will be
a refusal to concur; conference and
free conference.
onsideration of that free confer
roufd Vie comprehensive without
consideration of the plans of the San
Franciscans who came to Sacramento
on the advice of the goveifcor to en
deavor to change the district lines as
rhopped by the San Francisco delega
tion and inserted In the Thompson
bill.
The members of that committee ex
j>e<-t that the queer things done to San
Francisco are to be corrected in free
conference. Some of them are pinning
their faith in tut- expected cure on the
theory that no San Francisco senator
will be on the free conference commit
tee and the assembly conferees will be
men committed by their VOt*fl to the
plan to deprive San Francisco of one
of the senatdrs and two of the assem
blymen it is entitled to under the con
stitution.
The logic involved is at best queer
IMPEACHMENT NOT
LIKELY FOR JUDGES
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
t AM- HEADQUARTERS, SACRA
MENTO. Dec 17.—That the complaint
of Attorney A. H. Carpenter of Stock
ton, asking- that impeachment proceed
ings be begun in the assembly against
.Judges Chipman, Burnett and Hart, of
the third appellate court, will be dis
missed, practically was agreed upon
morning at a meeting of chairman
William Kehoe, W. D. L. Held and W.
,\. Sutherland of the subcommittee of
diciary committee named to hear
Carpenter's case. •
Owing to the absence of A. Joel and
M. R. Jones, the other members of the
subcommittee, it was decided to wait
until tomorrow before drafting the re
port. The showing made by Carpenter
before the committee was very poor
and in no way tended to indicate that
the iudgea had treated him unfairly.
It is expected that the committee will
nut only report against the desired im
peachment proceedings, but will make
recommendations otherwise adverse to
Carpenter.

Y. M. I. TO HONOR
ITS GRAND OFFICERS
San Jose Council Plans Big
Banquet for Them
[SpeeiaJ Dispatch to The Call]
SAX JOSE, Dec. 17.—A banquet will
be served in honor of the grand officers
of the Young Men's Institute, who will
pay their annual visit to the local roun
cll Tuesday evening. Among those who
will speak are Grand President J.
Denehy, First Grand Vice President
James Bacigalupi. Past Grand President
Charles Will< y, former Grand President |
James P. Sex, John P. Fitzgerald. Nich
olas Bawden, Rev. Father Morrissey,
S. J., president of Santa Clara college.
and D. M. Burnett, grandson of Califor
nia's first governor, who will preside as
toastmaster.
even in these times of strange legisla
tive tactics. First, it is not easy to
understand their confidence in the the
ory that no San Franciscan will be
on the senate common 'r free confer
ence. ,That may be the program, but it
is not likely to be popular with a big
delegation, the members of which un
derstand that the conferees from the
other house will be committed to; the
policy of wiping at least one or more
of them off the political map. No less
unpopular will be the idea of submit
ting to any change in the strange dis
trict lines they have drawn for their
personal protection. „. ■ .
• Regardless of outside assurances rep
resentatives of the San Francisco com
mittee have been told that, they need
hope for nothing from the senate side
that the San Francisco delegation will
not agree to. In that connection it may
be worthy of note that the eight sen
ators who have had districts 'built for
them have agreed to stand pat for the
Thompson bill. It-is my" opinion that
San I Francisco's prayers / well may be
directed to warding off. something
worse "than is ; contemplated by the
Thompson bill. ''■■'■,
Trie ' free textbook amendment is
down for further and possibly final con
sideration in the *. senate tomorrow
morning. As amended by Curtin, "it
provides for the 'abolition of the state
board of education by taking body
out of the constitution and putting it
in the hands of ; the legislature. I am
confident that : neither the proponents
nor the opponents of the measure are
sure of their ground as regards the
final vote. . . .• : _:'.
FEAR FOR SHAXAHAX'S HEART
The jockeying Incident to the adop
tion of the Curtin amendment has re
sulted in several changes of front and
may have given the amendment the
27 votes necessary to get it through the
upper house. The adoption of the
Curtln amendment has certainly taken
one vote from the main proposition if
it has added two. Shanahan and the
proponents of the measure admit* theirs
is a close fight. Some of the opponents
contend that Shanahan is due to suffer
heart failure when the final roll is
called.
The water conservation program,
which was all mussed up ,by. the de
cisive defeat of the Glavis-CJark bill
in the lower house, is said to' nave been
switched to an attempt to obtain the
enactment of an amended form of the
Caminetti bill. The Caminetti bill pro
vides for a limit of 40 years on the
life of corporations formed : under the
water bill. It is asserted that the con
servation commission purposes to have
the 40 year limit in the Caminetti bill
reduced to 25 years and send 'the
measure through. This program ap
parently is based on the theory that
Glavis' bill was beaten in the lower
house only because it was in Clark's
custody and Clark had voted for the
country caucus reapportlonment bill.
. So far as public demonstration! is
concerned no notice is taken of the \
fact that A. E. Boynton, president pro
tern. of. the senate, was one of the ]
chief factors In the . roundup of - votes
against the Glavis-Clark .bill. ■ Never
theless that Is the fact and there is
something more than a probability of
George C. Pardee's inability to make
Boynton lie down to the Caminetti bill
with, the 25 year amendment.
PRIMARY BILL
MAY BE CHANGED
[Spccia/ Dispatch io The Call]
CALL, HEADQUARTERS, SACRA
MENTO, Dec. 17.—An effort will be
made in the senate this week by Sen
ator Leroy A. Wright of San Diego to
make important changes in the presi
dential preference primary bill, which
was rushed through the assembly and
is now before the upper house.
Wright would make the measure
more elastic by changing the plan of
selecting delegates. Inasmuch as it is
uncertain just what representation will
be allowed California in the national
convention, Wright has planned to ha.ye
each distri't name delegates accord
ing to the ratio. If the number allotted
the state is his scheme would pro
vide for naming two from each district
and four at large. If the number is to
be 20, he would name one from each
district and elect nine at large.
Another improvement to the bill to
be offered by Wright is a provision
that an advisory vote also may be ca.st
for vice president.
