THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW In response to the mandate delivered by the people by their vote amending the constitution, the legislature has enacted a direct primary law, which includes within its scope the office of senator of the United States. The law is not, in the opinion of the Express, all that the people of California desired, nor what friends of reform within the republican party itself fought for, but it effects a vast improvement over existing conditions and greatly extends the political power of the people. What has been withheld, it will be easy for them later to seize. And they will seize it. Under the primary bill as enacted, the people are not only themselves to nominate at the primaries by their direct vote all the elective officers of the state, they are to have an advisory vote on United States senator. Those who stand for government by the people as distinguished from those who stand for government by the machine were desirous that the law should provide that the candidate for senator within each party who received the largest popular vote throughout the state should be held to be the candidate of that party for United States senator. The law as enacted provides that each senatorial and assembly district shall separately express its preference, and each senator and assemblyman shall be guided by the preference so expressed at the primaries. But inasmuch as the number of candidates might be so great as to leave none with a majority of the legislators, and so make the senatorship again an object of deals and trades in the legislature, it is fitting report that Speaker Cohen tends to look after these decisions who do not stay on the job because consideration of the time and that they will be "doomed" they fail to attend the session. History affords ample room for such a course. Speaker Cohen brought a lot of absentees' senses by ordering that he should be made from the same those who failed to attend his sion. The pity of it is that methods must needs be resisted in order to enforce a respect that should be regarded as and a privilege. PORTLAND HENEY'S Francis J. Heney, the expert prosecutor, is going to Portland diately following the conclusi trial of Patrick Calhoun in Sisco. Heney is being brought to by the Daily News of that city News has been waging a cog against alleged official corruption Portland and in the State office for the past year. Two years ago Heney refused of $25,000 to go there and invite the acts of the political leaders. It is asserted in Portland that will institute a thorough investigation into that city's municipal affairs which certain men of politics financial prominence in Oregon terested. DESERTION OF FAMILY FELONY The man who deserts his will hereafter find himself in way to spend two years of his penitentiary, thanks to The law as enacted provides that each senatorial and assembly district shall separately express its preference, and each senator and assemblyman shall be guided by the preference so expressed at the primaries. But inasmuch as the number of candidates might be so great as to leave none with a majority of the legislators, and so make the senator-ship again an object of deals and trades in the legislature, it is further provided that any senator or assemblyman who does not vote for the candidate receiving the highest number of votes in his district shall vote for the candidate who has carried the largest number of districts electing members of his party to the legislature. Half a loaf is still far better than no bread, and in this law the people receive far more than half a loaf. Moreover, the principle being admitted, what is withheld from the people cannot long be retained. Under this law, the members of every party acquire the absolute right of nominating by their direct vote every candidate of their party for every elective state office. That alone is a tremendous advance. In addition to that right, they acquire great and valuable advisory powers in the choice of a United States senator. The powers are not as absolute and complete as could be wished, but they add greatly to the people's political strength and curtail that of the machine. What this law fails to grant, the people will hereafter take in fullest measure. No future event can be more certain than that. MANY BILLS TO SIGN Five hundred bills are awaiting the signature of the governor within thirty days. Heretofore the governor was allowed but ten days to sign bills. This was changed at the last election by the adoption of a constitutional amendment. The thirty-eighth legislature established a record for the introduction and passage of bills. The number of bills introduced in the senate was 1252 and in the assembly 1451. Fifty-one constitutional amendments DESERTION OF FAMILY FELONY The man who deserts his will hereafter find himself in way to spend two years of his penitentiary, thanks to the ent legislature, which has acted an amendment to the code, which increases wife and desertion from a misdemeanor felony. And makes it possible court to commit an offender penitentiary for a period not exceeded two years. Heretofore it has been an easier for wife deserters to get on light fines and light sentences county jail, and as a result county's indigent list comprise number of wives and children have been deserted by husbands are now free and refuse to come to the support of their families. Under the new law the only offender, after being arrested stop prosecution is by giving a good for six months, to secure support of his family and they must be approved by a judge. At the expiration of the riod, should he again fall under law, the same procedure can be but the court may, at its plea refuse such a bond, and commute offence to prison. THE TARIFF AND REVENUE The conference at the White House on Saturday last, when the president that the inheritance provision of the Payne bill not pass the senate, as that body tertains intense and insuperable in thirty days. Heretofore the governor was allowed but ten days to sign bills. This was changed at the last election by the adoption of a constitutional amendment. The thirty-eighth legislature established a record for the introduction and passage of bills. The number of bills introduced in the senate was 1252 and in the assembly 1451. Fifty-one constitutional amendments were submitted in the senate and 19 in the assembly. Eighteen concurrent resolutions were introduced in the senate and 19 in the assembly. The joint resolutions offered in the senate were 22 and in the assembly 11. The assembly passed 432 bills, 105 of which have been approved by the governor, and seven vetoed. The senate passed 651, of which the governor has approved 127 and vetoed twelve. Governor Gillett is being criticised for his haste in signing the direct primary bill after delaying so long before signing the anti-race track bill. DOCKING THEIR SALARIES Absenteeism in the house of representatives is becoming a real evil, to such an extent indeed as to interfere with the business of the lower branch of congress. It is well known that during the closing days of the Sixtieth congress a number of votes were lost to the organization as a result of the absence of members. From Washington comes the grati- IMPROVED FRUIT CULTURE Government Expert Here to Make Investigations A. D. Shamel, physiologist in charge of cotton and tobacco breeding, has arrived from Washington and will pass some time with G. Harold Powell, the government expert, making a study of field work as conducted by Mr. Powell and his associates. He will make a study of cooperative methods in fruit culture in this state. While yet a young man, Mr. Shamel ranks high as an original investigator and worker. He has been devoting considerable time of late in the Middle West with the corn breeding associations, teaching the farmers to build up better seed through the selective process and working with them in an effort to secure the better handling of crops. Mr. Shamel says of his work: "We first demonstrate what can be accomplished by selection and get the associations interested in good seed. It took several years to accomplish this; now pedigrees corn is being quite generally used. The fact that the yield from selected corn is often ten bushels more an acre than where seed is selected haphazard has been an object lesson the farmers are not slow to learn. The higher the type of seed the more productiveness is the lesson we seek to teach. Combined with this we take up cultural methods."

Reinert the sum of six hundred dollars and eighty cents claimed as damages caused by the failure of Reinert to fulfill his agreement to supply irrigating water sufficient to care for a crop planted by Winsell on property leased by the latter from Reinert. The property is the same sold by Reinert to B. H. Loveless and over the deal for which came the quarrel that ended in the shooting by Reinert of C. N. Gary. Winsell and Reinert have had trouble before that had to be adjusted by the court, as not very long ago Reinert brought suit to oust Winsell from the property he occupied as tenant, the suit however going against Reinert. The suit just filed has nothing to do with the troubles between Reinert and Loveless and others who are said to have had a hand in the purchase of Reinert's ranch, but has beer brought as a business proposition that has been under consideration for some time.
