14 BAD LANGUAGE IN LAWS About the Worst English on Record in the Law for Teachers. PUZZLES IN EVERY SECTION. The Law Won't Work, Nobody Un derstands It and the Teachers Are Distracted. The teachers of San Francisco are in a state of distraction over the teachers' pen sion law created by the last Legislature. That is not surprising, for that teachers' pension act threatens to drive the Supreme Court to drink if it ever gets before that body. Apart from its relation to the interests of the public school teachers of the State this law in nine sections is of interest because it is a shining example of what a State Legislature can do in the way of butchering the Queen's English and in building out of words obscurities, incon sistencies, stupidities and fool mandates; laws of the land which cannot be under stood, and which could not be made to work if anybody could make out how they were intended to work. And this, too, is a law for school-teach ers. They framed a law themselves which was presented to the Legislature. The English was better than the legal pro visions, the legislators thought. When it escaped from the lawmakers it was a tine looking specimen of a law for a free people with a low percentage of illiteracy, but the Governor signed it. Now the teachers are wondering in a disgusted way what the law does mean anyway. Briefly the law provides that a teacher who has taught for a generation may re tire on a pension if she can get one. It ] was intended to provide a fund from which real pensions might come. After all sorts of public >ources were laid aside it was de cided by the Legislature that the teachers | might furnish one themselves if they i wanted one. and the law justifies the sus- i picion that it was intended that the teach- ! ers should pay over 1 per cent of their monthly salaries for that purpose. The teachers would not object to that if the law would work. One provision of the law is that teachers now employed must sign a document Dy which they assume the burdens and bene fits of the law if they want a future pen sion, but another section of the law has caused the widespread opinion that by putting their names on that paper they forfeit their rijrhts to their tenure of otiice euaranteed l>y the law construed by the Supreme Court in the Kennedy and Fair chiid cases. .Most of the leading teachers have ad vised against signing the document pre scribed by the act. Al« concede that, while the law is not satisfactory now. it is so much gained, and will be amended two years hence. One faction favors .signing and taking chances, and about sixty of the 900 teachers of the City have done bo. A short time ago a meeting of teachers started the scheme of organizing a new pension society, the members of which would contribute monthly 1 per cent of their salaries, to be deposited in a savings bank and turned over to the official fund in two years, if the law is satisfactorily amended then. An agreement to this ef fect has been circulated and has received a good many signatures. A week or so ago somebody started around among the schools an agreement that those signing it would "sign the bill," as it is termed, when 500 teachers here had agreed to do so. The other day the prin cipal of one school passed the* agreement on to another school lor circulation there. It then had 269 signatures, many teachers having signed it "in a ri t or sudden reck lessness. The principal sent it by a small boy who had been good, and the small boy lost it somehow. Now the promoters of this particular scheme are making des perate efforts to find out who signed the agreement and to get them to sign over again, but most of these teachers have changed their minds since and concluded not to sign after all. Section 1 of the law makes the Super intendent of Schools, the Treasurer and the chairman of the Board of Supervisors of each county the schoolteachers' retire ment fund commissioners, and it is their power and duty to administer the pension fund, designate beneficiaries, etc. Section 3 is one of tne sticklers. It says: Whenever any teacher entitled to the bene fits oJ this aci has laught in the public schools of this S:ate for a period of twenty years, and shall become incapacitated from performing the auties of a teacher, .^uch teacher shall, at his or her request, and may in the discretion of the Board of School Trustees without such request, be retired as a teacher and shall there after receive an annuity out of said fuud of $45 per month. Twenty-five years' service gives a pen sion of $50 a month. The teachers fear that they may place themselves in the power of the Board of Education to retire them "at iheir discretion" for incapacity. Lawyers who have given opinions on this section are divided as to whether the incapacity is a condition of retirement that would have to be established, as now, by an open and impartial trial. Section 4 is a long one and purports to provide a somewhat imposing i;iachinery for taking care of the fund, and prescribes books, reports and various clerical duties for Commissioners, Boards of Education, Auditors and Treasurers, but it is so weird a thing when its puzzle is sought to be untangled that Auditor Broderick, Treasurer Widber and others concerned have in despair given up trying to figure out any way by which the necessary 1 per cent of a teacher's salary could legally be withheld if the teacher insisted that it should be done, or that the Treasurer could legally get the real money into his vaults. Section 6 beggars description and some other things. This gem is as follows: llTo provide a fund for the payments provided for in this act the secretary of the Board of Education in each municipality shall certify monthly to the Treasurer of sueh'municipality, and the Board of Trustees in every school district outside of such municipalities shall certify and pay over in like manner to the County Treasurer of each county, and 1 per cent of the amount aue each teacher as salary for the previous month; and all moneys de rived from any other source shall be * paid to the County Treasurer to the credit of such fund. Such board shall also receive and place to the credit of said fund all moneys received from donations, legacies, gifts, bequest* or Some things here can be guessed at, but some cannot. What shall the secretary ''certify monthly?" Possibly the 1 per cent. What shall* the Trustees "certify and pay over" in like manner, and in "what "like manner" The Trustees do not gen erally handle the salaries, so that must be something else. This section all at once deals with all municipalities, such as Alameda, which are nowhere ehe given anything to do with the law, and who could not have anything to do with it under this law. Then the "Trustees," who could not get the money unless they stole it, are to "certify ana pay over" to the County Treasure/of "each" county in the State, which would beabigjob. The "and 1 percent" looks bad, but it reads that way in the statutes of California. Several Jawycrs have puzzled over the clause '"and all moneys derived from any other source shall be paid to the County Treasurer to the credit of such fund. 7 ' The general opinion is thatit directs all public reve nues whatever from taxes, licenses, etc., to be paid into the pension fund, and if so the fund is all right after all. Section 7 provides that the act shall be binding "only upon public school teachers who after the pahsage of this act shall sign and deliver to the Board of Education of the municipality in which they are em ployed a notice in substantially the follow ing form." This particular law will be a dead letter for two years, because it's good for noth ing, although it has received considerable of that valuable "force of public opinion" which plays on the laws. TEIED TO END HIS LIFE. Gnatave Anderson Slashed His Throat and AVri-tH With a Razor. Despondency drove Gustave Anderson, to an attemDt at suicide yesterday at noon. For some time past he has been employed at the Nevada House on Napa street, at the Potrero, as a dish washer. Within the past few days his friends noticed that he was in low spirits. and several times he remarked that he did not see anything worth living for. His remarks were not taken seriously, however, and nothing more was thought of it until yesterday when he was found in his room with a razor gash on his throat, and ugly wounds on each wrist from which the blood was flowing profusely. He is in a precarious condition, but may recover. MINING CONSOLIDATION Two More Companies Favor Working the Brunswick Lode. Three Corporations Still to Take Action— Stockholders' Meet ings Called. The work of amalgamating the various mining companies on the Comstock for the purpose of purchasing additional ground and developing the celebrated Brunswick lode is being pushed rapidly forward. The directors of two companies met yesterday and took favorable action on the propo sition, and called meetings of their stock holders to consider the matter. A meeting of the directors of the Savage mine will be held to-morrow morning, and those of the Consolidated California and Virginia and of tne Hale and Norcross will be held on Monday. The proposition briefly stated is that the allied mines on the Comstock shall jointly purchase on the Brunswick lode, a mile east of the Comstock ledge, territory equal in area to that now owned by them on the old localities. To each company then will be assigned separate territory, occupying the same relative position as the mines do on the Comstock. The Brunswick ledce hap always been considered a promising location. It is drained by the Sutro tunnel, and, at the I point where the tunnel pierces it, it shows 1 better indications than did the Comstock at a similar point. North of the territory J which it is proposed to acquire is the old I Monte Cristq mine, and south of it, on the same ledge, is the Occidental mine, where such rich discoveries have recently been made. The property can be secured at a very low figure for mining ground— from $5 to $10 a foot. The companies whose boards of direct ors have thus far approved the proposition are the Chollar Mining Company, the Potosi Mining Company, the Gould it Curry Mining Company and the Best & Belcher Mining Company. « » ■» ' I >• every receipt calling for baking pow der better results and more wholesome j food will be obtained by the use of Royal ; than any other, because of its greater j leavening strength and absolute purity. Their Letter Service Discontinued. The letter department of Wells, Fargo & Co. ■went out of existence yesterday. The manage ment of the company announced several weeks ago that the letter branch of their business would be abolished, as, owing to the improve- I ments in the Government postal system, the express company had found their business un profitable. In the days gone by the company's letter service was extensive in this state, and reached places which the Government routes j did not touch. At one time the company I handled from 10,000 to 1-J.OOO letter? per day, I but lately the business fell off to only a few j hundred. HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL. J Blair.
