NEW LAWS ON STATUTE BOOK LEGISLATION OF FAR-REACHING IMPORTANCE ENACTED Direct Primary and Reciprocal Demurrage Bills Passed — Railroad Rate Bill Among Measures Approved, anti-Alien Foolishness Stopped Matters of great importance to California were decided by the legislature which ended its deliberations at Sacramento last week. The most far reaching struggle was over four bills aimed at Japanese residing within the state, three offered by Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento and one by A. M. Drew of Fresno. The latter denied all aliens the right to hold land in the state and was defeated at the earnest request of President Roosevelt. The Johnson bills were defeated after intercession by the governor at the request of the president, although much time was passed in discussion of the measures before the assembly agreed that they should not become law. Another measure of state-wide interest, prohibiting gambling at race-tracks, was passed with little opposition. A railroad rate and a direct primary bill have been passed by both houses. Each measure received much attention from the senate, they being the principal bills before that body. In the line of railroad legislation Senator E. O. Miller of Visalia secured the passage of his car demurrage bill (the Texas car law), compelling railroads to pay eight-hour day for undergates and for crews of no more than three brakemen upon freight consisting of more than five miles each way from Michigan, while Hollingworth tells us is nothing.

Each measure received much attention from the senate, they being the principal bills before that body. In the line of railroad legislation Senator E. O. Miller of Visalia secured the passage of his car demurrage bill (the Texas car law), compelling railroads to pay a forfeit of $5 a day for each car that they fail to furnish shippers upon demand. A bill introduced by Leroy A. Wright of San Diego, giving the state railroad commission power to fix maximum rates, was passed. A fight was made for the absolute rate bill by Senator Stetson of Oakland, but after a long struggle the proponents of the latter measure were defeated, and the maximum rate bill passed both houses. The direct primary bill, introduced by Senator Wright, had a stormy career in the senate. As originally introduced and passed by the senate it provides for the election of United States senators by advisory vote of the state at large. The assembly amended the bill so the vote should be advisory by legislative districts. This amendment, it was declared, was in the interest of United States Senator Flint, and almost to a man the southern members got behind it. The idea was adopted by the assembly, but the senate was deadlocked for a week on the question of concurrence. The matter finally went to a free conference committee and a compromise was agreed upon, making the law much more elastic than had been intended by its authors. As passed almost unanimously the measure provides that a legislator shall cast his vote either for the choice of his own district, or for that of the majority of districts in which his party is dominant. Local option and anti-party bills were rejected. Senator Estudillo made a fight for the local option bill, but was defeated by a large majority. Senator Holohan's bill taking the circle from the various party columns on the ballots was passed by the senate, when, verily, the mail has not yet received his letter carrier tryeth to explain no avail, and there arisen him a multitude of angry place of the joyous song looketh the patron in the sayeth nothing, for he re-that in the good book writeth who art in Washington: Thou shalt not.

Local option and anti-party bills were rejected. Senator Estudillo made a fight for the local option bill, but was defeated by a large majority. Senator Holohan's bill taking the circle from the various party columns on the ballots was passed by the senate, but the measure was defeated in the assembly. Governor Gillett's good roads bill providing for a bond issue of $18,000,000 for the construction of a state-wide system of highways, connecting all county seats; the San Francisco harbor improvement bill, carrying $9,000,000 with it, including the Islais creek bills, establishing a land-locked harbor in India basin, were passed. Acting under instructions from the governor, the ways and means committee cut down the general appropriation bill so that it did not exceed by more than $1,500,000 the amount appropriated at the session of 1907. The new items include $500,000 for a state trades school at San Francisco, $250,000 for a trades and training school for dependent orphans, $150,000 for an armory in Los Angeles, and $100,000 to purchase the Armstrong woods in Sonoma county. Among the important bills defeated was one aimed at the meadowlark. A measure that was passed after a long fight prohibits secret societies in the public schools. Among new labor laws, the most important are those providing for an dozen postal cards of the variety, and on each where they of the father of this country be securely fastened, the penny, but he knoweth it each hath been piled upon much care and exactness and a card, a penny and s he in his mind thinketh th stamped, save only the to he scoopeth them up and pennies where are they? say unto you, they are so cast and he knoweth not ww are gone, and that which removeth the golden crown him.

He things very uncomplimentary carrier, and accuseth him of purloining, or misdelivering it; verily, the mail order house yet received his order. This carrier tryeth to explain, but to al, and there arlseth within multitude of angry words in of the joyous song and he the patron in the eye and nothing, for he remembereth the good book written by our no art in Washington, it say-hou shalt not. Therefore he the horse and kicketh the royally. He hath told of all the things that the carrier hath done in his lifetime and of all the things that he hath heard that he hath done and hath threatened to write to his congressman, who is in Washington, about the matter. This congressman, when he did move about among us (before election) did say unto the carrier: "Behold, it is known unto me that the carrier is worthy of his hire and that his expenses are great and his salary small, therefore, I (if I am returned to Washington) shall exert my mighty influence with the powers that be, to the end that thou mayest have that which thou hast earned." Yet when he is returned straightway he forgetteth all about it and putteth forth all his might and exerteth his great mind to the utmost that he may prevent himself from remembering these things that he hath promised, and yet draw his pay therefor, and, verily, he succeedeth amazingly. The carrier watcheth, and waiteth, and hopeth, and prayeth, and sayeth unto himself, tomorrow, and when tomorrow, cometh he heareth nothing. But hope is strong within him and he waiteth and congress doth adjourn and behold that which he geteth he may put in his eye and know it not, neither will it encumber him or weigh heavily upon him. Yet he may not remind that congressman of his promise which he hath made for in the law it is written, thou shalt not. Verily, I say unto you the path of the carrier is like unto a path of roses, for though he smelleth the perfume of the flowers, he graspeth the thorns, and if he have not the grit to grasp them tightly of a surety they will sting him. CALIFORNIA IN TARIFF FIGHT Greek Minister Appeals to Senate for Reduction on Zante Currants Washington, March 25.—The Greek minister, it is reported, appealed to the senate finance committee today to reduce the duty on zante currants. In fact, a determined onslaught is being made on California products by importing interests, but Senator Flint is feeling satisfied he can prevent any reductions. Hops probably will be increased from 12 cents to 20 cents a pound. Appeals continue to come in from lemon growers for 1½ cents duty. The tariff bill probably will be passed by the house on April 10. By that time nearly every one wishing to be heard will have had his say, and it is expected the bill will go through with little opposition and practically no amendment. In the meantime the senate finance committee is making rapid progress and many changes in the bill. No reports are to be made by the senate committee, except on the census bill and deficiency appropriation bill, until the tariff is disposed of and until then the senate will continue to meet only on Mondays and Thursdays. The real fight on the tariff will be made when the bill goes in conference. Senator Perkins wants to see more than 1½ cents on borate of lime and borate of soda. "F. M. Smith spends his money in Oakland," says Perkins, "and I am in favor of giving borax all it will stand under a 5-cent tariff. It has come down in price from 8 cents to postal cards of the picture vaulted on each where the likeness thereof of this country should rarely fastened, there is a but he knoweth it not, for which been piled upon each with care and exactness, a penny card, a penny and a card, and its mind thinketh they are all save only the top one, so behold them up and behold the where are they?

The real fight on the tariff will be made when the bill goes in conference. Senator Perkins wants to see more than 1½ cents on borate of lime and borate of soda. "F. M. Smith spends his money in Oakland," says Perkins, "and I am in favor of giving borax all it will stand under a 5-cent tariff. It has come down in price from 8 cents to 4 cents a pound." It is reported that the lumber lobby has abandoned the fight here, being satisfied that a majority of the house is opposed to a higher lumber tariff. Flint is supplying the finance committee with California oranges. CITIZEN FAIRBANKS HERE "I'm Going to Enjoy Life," Says Ex-Vice President on Arrival Charles W. Fairbanks, whose title is now "Citizen," instead of "Vice President of the United States" reached Pasadena last week on the Golden State Limited from Washington, and is now at the home of his son, Fred Fairbanks, 348 Congress avenue, in the Crown City. His companions on the trip were Mrs. Fairbanks and Mrs. John W. Timmins, his daughter. "I am out here for a good rest and my stay may be for several weeks," said Mr. Fairbanks. "While here I will not," he continued in answer to a question, "discuss politics. My only purpose and desire are to enjoy life awhile in this country. I know of nothing I could say which would be of interest to the people."

Delivery Made Everywhere A MOTOR ON TRIAL One of the beauties about individual electric motor drive is this: you don't have to start out with a lot of expensive equipment and in the risk of getting "stung." You can try a single motor at little expense and no inconvenience. Study it, watch it work, tabulate results. From it you can learn just what a complete installation of motors will mean. Most people who start with one motor end with complete electrical equipment, and become enthusiastic converts to electric power. If they find it profitable to use individual motor love, mightn't you? Why not install a single motor and form your own opinion? THE EDISON ELECTRIC CO. SANTA ANA DRINK PRIME BEER It makes you healthy. Keg and bottled Beer delivered to all parts of the city.
