SACRAMENTO' HOTEL,
- Sacramento, May 6.
ICehoe'a bill to regulate the .mining
industries in California was defeated
in the senate this afternoon; by y32; to
4. Only four senators stood by * the
bill. They ? were Brown, Carr, Grant
and Its author; -yy ~y'-'-'X'i¥y£':
There was only one speaker in favor
of the* measure. Senator Kehoe. ; He
said that the dredgers' -were ruining
much ; farming" property. y r Y XyXXXy.
A Senator Boyntoji maintained that the
dredgers had yielded in gold* infinitely
more than.- an*.- fruit crops eonld yield
and that In. prospect:? was $10,0,000,000
from gold production?- that would!add
to. the purchasing. power of 7 the state.'
Senator Boy n ton said that there
were only SOOacres of 20,000 t'nat were
capable of agricultural production and
he showed "that: it would take? many
years for the?.land named to produce
ST-n.0n0.000 in fruit. Y?Y 7 -
Senator Kehoe introduced 3 telegram
from Congressman Kent 'dated; in
Washington that said:*
"From this end of* the line it would
seem strange that California asks',mil
lions for government7co-operation?yon
reclamation projects,?- while. at the
came time, permitting, under state
law, the destruction of some of the
most valuable? land In the stateYby
the gold dredgers. This destruction
represents shortsightedness', -.. inconceiv
able folly. - V: 7 ,--.' y'."-:A.S.y.
'The short lived Individual ought?not
to be permitted to destroy the common
assets of the state, not to abuse his
property that others may he injured
by that abuse. Ylf .thisy common law
'doctrine does not apply to future gen
erations then, it is meaningless and
sterile. Nothing could be more reason
able than to demand 7 the carrying out
of this fundamental principle .' of ; law
and social order."
