SACRAMENTO. Feb. 7.— A1l the
changes on the old argument that la
bor Is a commodity were rung today
In the Assembly before a vote was
taken on Assemblyman O'Brien's bill
raising the minimum wage scale on
public work from J2 to $3. The roll
call showed forty-seven ayes and sev
enteen noes.
Stanton of Los Angeles said he
thought the proposed law would ham
per the project of his home city to get
water from Owens River. Forbes of
Inyo declared the Owens River water
system would mean the ruination of
the Owens River valley. Aside from
that he was opposed to the State going
Into the market to get labor as cheap
ly as possible.
Stetson of Oakland talked of the
futility of pitting a 6tatute against
an economic law. Beckett of' San
Francisco pointed out that Stetson
had Introduced a bill Increasing sala
ries in the office of the Attorney Gen
eral-.
Grove Johnson made a strong appeal
for the bill, declaring that the same
old fight had been made every time
an. effort was made to raise the wages
of men employed on public work.
The seventeen members who voted
egainst the bill were: Bishop of Santa
Ana. Case. Cogswell, Leeds, Pierce,
Stanton. Transue and Thompson of
Los Angeles. Cutten of Eureka, Drew
of Fresno, Johnson of San Diego, Lu

FIGHT HIGH SCHOOL BILL
Aiwemblr Reject* Measure, Bat It Will
Be Reconsidered Later
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7. — Assembly
man Campbell'6 bill forbidding the
charging of fees by high schools pre
cipitated a iioti fight in the Assembly
today and the end is not yet. The roll
call showed thirty ayes and thirty-six
noes. This was far short of a majority,,
but Campbell changed his vote and
gave notice of a motion to reconsider.
Tne committee on education fought the
bill on the ground that it was only
fair for high school districts to compel
pupils from outside territory to pay
tuition fee*. Advocates of the proposed
change thought such fees'discr'iminated
against the poor. The lineup was as
follows:

RACETRACK 3IEN ARE WINNING
Committee Froirns «-nfa Bill Aimed to
Stop Wasering on Horse. Contents
SACRAMENTO. Feb. 7.-^The Assem
bly committee on public morals, headed
by Samuel Beckett- of San Francisco,
did the expected thing today when it
agreed to report unfavorably on the
Eshleman bill to prohibit betting on
horse races. Lobbyists representing
poolrooms and racetracks predicted that
the measure would die in the dark, but
recently a strong movement to force a
report has developed and this is be
lieved to have forced the committee to
take action. A fight on the floor is now
assured, as Eshleman is determined
that the Assembly shall go on record
either for or against betting on horse
races.
WVATT WOULD AID FARMERS
Want* Abolition of Saturday Half-
Holiday In County Offices
SACRAMENTO. Feb. 7. — City and
country clashed in the Assembly today
over Wyatfs bill to abolish the Satur
day half-holiday in county offices.
Wyatt managed to round up thirty
nine votes, after moving a call of the
House, but the other two necessary to
make a majority could not be found,
and he therefore changed his vote and
paved the way for a reconsideration.
The argument advanced in favor of
repeal was that farmers drove to town
on Saturday afternoons and were incon
venienced greatly by the present law.
All of the San Franciscans present, ex
cept John McKeon of the Thirty-fourth
District, voted against repeal.

nltlon and suggested that in order to
preserve regularity Caminetti's request
be put. Porter was ruffled, but he saw
the force of Curtin's plea, and address-
Ing himself to the Democrat, who is a
general favorite, said: ,'
<\u25a0 "I never refuse the request of a gen
tleman. Coming from you, Senator Cur
tin, I grant it. Senator Caminetti askß
unanimous consent to explain. Is there
objection?"
- Lea^vitt promptly Interposed, and with
a bang of the gavel Porter said:
"That settles It," and, raising .-'" his
voice, "Senator Caminetti; # you sit
down." .
Caminetti sat. The rollcall, which
followed immediately, failed to disclose
a dissenting vote. Save for the ratifi
cation of the proviso added in the Sen
ate committee by the Assembly, the
work of the direct primary reformers
Is done for the session. The "measure
will probably be made a special, order
in the lower house for Monday,' and its
original' passage there by a unanimous
vote leaves Email opportunity for re
pudiation of It in its amplified form.
GILLETT FOR FAIR PLAY
Governor Gillett has gone on record
again as opposed to petty partisan leg
islation by promptly and emphatically
repudiating today a measure intro
duced in the Assembly by Speaker
Beardslee which bears all the ear
marks of an organization attempt to
legislate Pardee appointees out of of
fice.
The bill introduced by Beardslee .is
sweeping in its provision. Enacted, it
would terminate the"terms of all State
officers appointed by the Governor as
a pure exercise of executive power or
by and with the consent of ., the Sen
ate, on the first Monday in July, 1907,
with the exception of the University
Regents, Bank Commissioners and the
State Board of Prison Directors. At
one fell swoop the decks would be
cleared for Gillett to make four-year
appointments to scores of places. The
San Francisco Harbor Commission, the
Building and Loan Commission and the
attorneyship for. the State Board of
Health are among the good things that
would be placed at the Governor's dis
posal. To make the measure good, the
bill further provides that no writ of
injunction, restraining order or other
judicial process,' shall be Issued, or be
effectual to prevent s the appointees
provided for taking office.
BEARDSLEE SAYS LITTLE
Beardslee professed the deepest ig
norance touching the origin of the
measure. He explained that -its pur
pose was to prevent holdover troubles
and an outgoing- Governor jobbing his
successor out of a lot of good appoint
ments. Some week's ago, when such
a measure directed at Al Lindley and
Jake- Transue, Building, and Loan Com
missioners appointed by Pardee, was in
process of incubation, Beardslee an
nounced with great fervor that he
would fight any legislation aimed at his
good friends: Today he fathered , a
more sweeping measure/without even
learning whence it emanated. Beardslee
admitted that he was not the author
of the bill, and claimed; he 'did not
know who was. He declined also to ad
mit that he was in a -position to dis
close for whom he introduced it. A
mysterious measure, ; with \u25a0 its mystery
fingers pointing; toward the machine.
When the bills to oust Ltadley, Tran
sue and Elston ; were : first discussed,
Gillett announced with decided em
phasis that he would be party to no
such cheap politics. He has not changed
his mind. The Governor denied Indig
nantly today that he was; responsible
for the bill introduced by the Speaker
or that he would countenance that kind
of legislation. He said: "I am in no
way responsible for this measure. I
say now, as I. have said before, that I
will not be a party to that kind of
political legislation.
XOT AFTER PATROXAGE
"I do believe the State is loaded up
with useless commissions,' and I have
recommended the abolition of four of
them. My recommendation in this mat
ter was based solely on a desiro to in
ject business methods into the State's
affairs, to save money improvidently, if
not improperly, spent. I want no legis
lation for the purpose of placing
patronage at my disposal, and, as I
have told The Call in reference to the
same general : subject, I will ' veto
promptly such legislation if it comes
to me. I will not play that kind of
politics. '
"If the Legislature wishes to wipe
out useless political places, I am in ac
cord with it, but I will have nothing to
do with legislation designed to put one
set of men out -of omce to make way
for others of my selection."
TEST OF VOTING MACHINES
Senator Richard Welch of San Fran
cisco, doubting- his ability to secure an
investigation of the voting machines
used at the last election in San. Fran
cisco before the Legislature adjourns,
proposes a general law, which,; If-en
acted, will go a long; way toward pro
tecting the voter tfrom manipulation of
the machines by boss-owned experts
and toward restoring public confidence
in voting devices., ". .•..;-;'. . \u25a0.\u25a0'\u25a0:"\u25a0\u25a0>

his vote by saying he did not think the

sought As an /additional . reason | for
his opposition, he declared, the bill was
unconstitutional in that it empowered
persons to sue for money that was not
their own. ,
Advocates of the bill reply to Stet
son's last argument by pointing out
that a similar law has been declared
constitutional by three States— New
York, Wisconsin and Illinois.)

Thirteen of the measures are based on

tions and rate discriminations. Ten
of the -bills are alike and provide for
the return of taxes paid by ten dif
ferent companies. This routine was
made necessary by 4 decision that such

By the failure of recent appointees

the *of " their "official duties
"shall respectively give and. execute to

as may be required by "law; ordinance

cle 16 of the charter an office becomes
vacant when the incumbent dies, re
signs or "neglects toquallfy within the
time prescribed by law, or within twen
ty days after his election or appoint
ment." -\
As more than twenty, days : have
elapsed since the appointments, It ap
pears that . under a strict construction
the ;- offices . for -; which"; the } appointees
have', neglected to file their bonds, are
vacant.
More serious, however, Is the danger
of {Illegality which hangs over the ac
tions of the Supervisors. Fire Commis
sion,. Police - Commission and "Works
Board.- Men whose right to the office is
in question as a result of their failure
to qualify have voted, on measures be
fore these bodies and may . have ren
dered void air the proceedings.
From a political standpoint, . the sit
uation presents 'unusual possibilities.
Should acting Mayor 'Gallagher desire.
It Is .".within his "power to declare va
cant those ' offices for which the ap
polntees.'have . failed to - qualify, and
then, under the direction of the master
mind of'Ruef. to fill the positions with
men selected by the boss.
•£ln ; ' contrast' with, the dilatory meth
ods of the new appointees was the alac
rity with which Ruef qualified for the
office of District Attorney, to, which he
was appointed : some . tlme^ago by • act
ing Mayor Gallagher. From an Inspec
tion I of the bond filed by Ruef at the
time, which,, by the may, Is still on
exhibition in the Auditor's office, It ap
pears that, the document was -executed
before the "appointment was made.
There 'is .the difference, however,' that
Ruef qualified \ and i did not - get . the job
and the new appointees did not qualify
