MEXTO, Jan. 6. — The assemblymen
have made the usual onslaught on the
state treasury to equip themselves with
law boobs. These volumes are con
sulted by a few of the members during
a session and the rest of the members
take them home to overawe their
neighbors.
Richard Melrose of Anaheim this
morning Introduced a resolution, au
thorizing Clerk Clio Lloyd to purchase
S5 set-? of the pony codes, general laws
and Treadwell's constitution of Cali
fornia, costing about $17.50 each. It
met with opposition chiefly from the
San Francisco delegation and prob
ably because the measure left no
chance for buying more expensive
books and took the matter practically
out of the hands of the contingent ex
pense committee, which is to be ap
pointed. By a viva voce vote it was
decided not to refer the resolution to
committee. The following roll call

WILL INTRODUCE BILL
FOR JURY REFORMS
CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OP COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 6. — Senator Tom Ken
nedy of the district attorney's office in
San Francisco has several Jury reforms
up his sleeve for submission to the
legislature. Kennedy intends to intro
duce a bill which he framed with the
assistance of Assistant District Attor
ney Louis Ferrari providing for the
same method of impaneling juries in
! the police courts as obtains in the
! superior court.
The idea is to get rid of the profes
sional jurymen who hang around the
hall of justice waiting for a policeman
to summon them for service. Kennedy
would like to see a venire made up
once a year by the police Judges, and
believes a citizen should be excused for
a year after serving once.
Another bill which he will introduce
is aimed at the abuses that are cur
rently believed to play a part In the
decision of damage suits brought
against certain public service corpora
tions. Kennedy would change the law
so that a hangeron summoned -on a
jury may be excused without challenge
on the showing that he has served on
a jury within a fixed time.
SOLVES QUESTION OF
PAYING LEGISLATORS
CALL HEADQUARTER?. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 6. — The burning question
as to how the legislators will be paid
their $1,000 will be solved when the
senate passes today a bill by Price of
Santa Rosa. The bill calls for the
amendment of section 266 of the po
litical code by providing that legis
lators shall be paid $10 a day, war
rants to be drawn once a week during
the session. This will give the law
makers a comfortable $100 a week to
blow in or save. The payments are
to be kept up till $1,000 has been re
ceived bj* each legislator, and if the
legislature adjourns before the full
amount is paid, the legislators are to
receive the balance at once.
For special sessions the legislators
are to get $10 a. day for not more than
30 days, payable weekly.
Senator Wolfe introduced a resolu
tion calling for the appointment by
the president of a committee of three
on contingent expenses and mileage.
Senator Leavltt submitted a bill, call
ing for an appropriation of $900 to
pay the expenses, per diem and mile
age, of the ten presidential electors.

FEES FOR CORONER
Salar> r System Is Proposed by

for Alameda County :; •
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CALL, HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING,-. SACRA
MEXTO, Jan. , 6.— A ;Tjillrto J put the
coroner of Alameda county on a salary
arid incidentally ; work" an., estimated
saving of from $18,000^to $20,000, a year
to the people of that county will be in
troduced by .Senator.- Frank "W. : Leayltt
when Warren Porter drops " the senate
gavel for the Introduction- of Ibifls.- ;
Unwilling: to admit "thatf; the /long
hairs have a corner on the reform marf
ket. Leavltt Is • out to-do -avllttletrei
forming: himself and at the same time'
demonstrate that, the , reports^, of. his
loss of power In the halls' of legisla
tion to draw it mildly, exag
gerated. His first reform— more are
promised — is directed at Dr. Tlsdale,
coroner of Alameda. county. \u25a0'\u25a0 •
ATTACK OX FEE SYSTEM
According to Leavltt the fees of the
Alameda county coroner .-amount s, to
more than $25,000. Out of his fees the
coroner is expected to compensate his
deputies, but, says Leavitt, a majority
of the Alameda county deputies . are
undertakers who get the funerals and
accept the profits as compensation.
Leavitt's bill will be modeled after
the law governing the compensation of
the coroner of Los Angeles county, who
gets a salary of $3,000 and is provided
with a stenographer, who may be his
deputy, at $2,400 a year, and a clerk at
$80 a month. Leavitt is also of opinion
that there are too many unnecessary
autopsies held in Alameda county and
he mikes a salaried autopsy surgeon a
feature of his reform measure.
While Leavitt is preparing to re
form things in his own county Gov
ernor Gillett and the elective state offi
cers are struggling with plans to equal
ize the salaries of the subordinates in
their several offices.
STATE SALARIES DISCUSSED
The salary equalization question was
thrashed out at length this afternoon
at a meeting in Governor Gillett's. of
fice, which was, attended by Attorney
General Webb, Secretary of State Curry,
Treasurer Williams, Controller Nye,
Surveyor General Kingsbury and Super
intendent of Instruction Hyatt.
The salaries of chief deputies, prin
cipal clerks, secretaries and stenogra
phers are all awry in these offices and
the conference had to deal with the
problem of doing Justice to the affected
employes without working an injustice
to the tax payers.
The chief deputies \u25a0in the secretary
of state's office, treasurer's office and
controller's office, who in the opinion
of the officials in conference are per
sons of equal importance, do not receive
like salaries and some of them not
enough.
DUX TO CORRECT EVILS
Then, too, some of the stenographers
in the departments receive larger sal
aries than does Miss Andrews, the ex
pert In the governor's office. Governor
Gillett's private secretary, E. C Cooper,
strenuously denies that he Is a party
to the movement, but it Is maintained
that his salary of $4,000 is out of pro
portion with the new salaries of state
officers and with the importance of his
position. Attorney General Webb was
instructed to draft a bill embodying the
conclusions of the conference.
After the conference Governor Gil
lett said the purpose of the meeting
was not to issue a general Invitation
for a demand for increased salaries by
state employes, but to correct evils
which involved both the Increasing of
some and the reduction of other sal
aries. No reductions were determined
upon at the conference today.
LITTLE BOOST DESIGXED
State Printer Shannon and Clerk of
the Supreme Court Caughey were not
invited to the conference in the gov
ernor's office, which had to do with the
salaries of subordinates, but they have
not overlooked the salary question. No
constitutional amendment is necessary
to boost their salaries of $3,000 a year
and they both have little bills designed
to permit the state to compensate them^
at the rate of $5,000 a' year.
CAMPAIGN 1 FUXD BILL *-;
Senator J. B. Sanford ofUkiah is
preparing to return to the attack with
Governor Hughes' New York anti-cor
poration campaign contribution bill

RAMENTO, Jan":-' 6:—- National and state
banks in California will' have a well
organized lobby on 'hand within the
next few days to' fight, the passage of
the proposed constitutional amendment
relating to separate taxation. The con
tention of the financial institutions will
be that the contemplated system-of
taxation is; vicious," so I far as they are
concerned, and will lgad, H approved, to
"wild cat" banking-methods. -Senator
Leroy Al "WrightV floor leader of the
majority, will lead' wie* fight on this
section of the amendment;
Under the constitutional amendment
prepared by the commisslon'on revenue
and taxation banks throughout the
state will be taxed 5 to the extent-of 1
per cent per annum on the total of their
capital stock, surplus and undivided
profits. Senator Wright said:
This measure in sa far as it af
• fects the banking institutions and
their depositors is vicious. It. is
wrong in its very principle, and
should be amended so as to elimi
nate the financial instructions. In
the state there are banks which
have a capital stock of $500,000
with surplus- and undivided profits
of $200,000 in addition. There are
others which have a capital stock
of $100,000 with surplus and un
divided profits of $100,000. Now
suppose their deposits are $3,000,000
each. The first' class institutions
\u25a0will be forced to pay 1 per cent .
in taxes, or $7,000. and the latter
will have to pay only 1 per cent
on ItR capital, surplus and profits,
or $2,000. The former institutions
can only lend as much as the lat
ter, hence their earning power Is
about the same. >and yet they will
be forced to pay more than three
times as much in taxes, although
their large capitalization renders
their depositors . much safer.

caused a laugh; in the assembly this
morningr by refusing to accept money
from the state. Each law maker is
allowed 10 cents a mile to defray his
expenses of coming to the legislature

sides in Sacramento he was allowed
only 20 cents by the- committee on

granted leave to have his name and
the 20 cents stricken from the report,
remarking that it was not a big enough
sum.
"If anybody else would like to have
his mileage stricken out this is the

Speaker Stanton with a smile. Need
less to say a calm fell over the house.

Suggestions for a >*ight Eailroad Trip s
Preparations for. a night's journey
differ much from those for a day's :
trip because the same articles are not
required. Hence the selection for the
former must include comfort, and to
secure this one. must have personal
experience or suggestions -from some ,
traveler.
For example, a hand mirror, a neces
sity at ' : home, can be dispensed with
for> one night, but I would not ad
vise a woman • who contemplates- mak
ing a long journey to be without one.
Back hair has too facile a way of get
ting badly- tumbled, and if it is not
put in : proper; order the whole effect
of ( smartness of costume may be lost.
Therefore, though for one night it may
be given up, for two it should be con
sidered a necessity. ,
: A long dressing gown — a thin one in
summer and a warm onein winter —
is better than a night robe: for sleep
ing. It is a mistake not to remove
all -the clothing when going to bed,
but at the same time one should be' in
condition to go to ;-the dressing room
if » necessary, so a wrapper fills the
bill is, incidentally, .
comfortable. \u25a0 : \u25a0 . if- r
If. a wash blouse .is worn a fresh
collar for the morning Is - essential.
Beyond ; this no extra clothing is re
quired. ; :
Toilet articles resolve themselves
into, a box-of cold cream:, also, either
some toilet water, or- saturated I solution
of borax.: .The water,, to be . found i in
sleeping 'car, toilet rooms is ; not -only
lacking in qualities >for cleansing, but

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OP COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 6. — Patronage is a real
bugaboo in the assembly. Law making
is at a standstill /while \u25a0 the trouble
some pie is being cut. Thanks to the
insistent demands and the votes of a
large majority in this state each house
has only $500 a day to distribute.
With each member of the majority
submitting to the committee the name
of his friend or friends that he desires
on the payroll.- the commitee has found
itself In a dilemma trying" to select
men for the $6 a day jobs behind the
desk. Heretofore these berths have
been much in demand, but at this time
the republican assemblymen find them
selves with only $7 a day for patron
age. That divides easily into $4 and
$3, the pay respectively of a clerk and
a stenographer. By dividing his share
of the pie this way an assemblyman
can take care of two persons from his
district, but the member who names a
$6 man finds that he can place only one
person. This., leaves him ?1 a day
which could be poojed. ;
It was expected that the solution
finally would be' reached today and the
assembly took a. recess -from forenoon
until 6 o'clock, at which time the com

ears and neck should be smeared with
cold cream. This must be wiped off
with a fresh towel. ; Another portion
of the towel : must then be wet with
either toilet water or • borax solution

Better Follow "Anty Drudge's Advice*
Mrs. Newbride— "Yes, but this is the way mother wash-
ed. She always said to boil the clothes good and
long.!*
Anty Dntdge—' t Yes y . and your mother wore hoopakirts,
and a poke bonnet, and did her sewing by hand, when
she was young". Bat J don't see you doing' those
Athfngs. ;Takemy. advice and use Fels-Naptna soap
:in cold or' lukewarm water. Those pretty whita
hands will last longer and so will your health."
Every woman inherits certain ways o!
doing housework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
of these ideas from ancient times concerns
the washing of clothes. "Boil 'em, Boil
'em .good," is the old tradition. Until the
invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the
only way to wash. Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when a way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub-
bing has been found?
, Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken their fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid of the hot fire,
steam and suds, as well as the back-break-
ing work of hard rubbing.
But there's a right way and a wrong
way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Fol-
low the directions on the wrapper anci
you'll have a better, easier, cleaner way oJ
washing. For other reasons which are ex-
plained on the red and green wrapper,
Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all kitch-
en purposes as it is for washing.
