License Revenue.

A bill has been introduced in the Legsla-
ture for change in the Revenue Law by
which the State receives one-half of the nett
revenue arising from license taxes. The bill
provides that all the revenue from this source
shall be retained by the counties for their
own use and benefit, as was formerly the case.
The necessity for this action is believed to be
imperative as in some of the counties, with
out this revenue, the ordinary expenditures
are found to exceed the receipts. In Placer
county, the amount paid to the State from
license taxes, is at the ate of $l2,O 900 per an
mum. Could this sum be retained by the
county, it would help greately to relieve the
heavy Indebtedness under which we now la
Dor.
The operation of the law, as it now stands
has doubtless, been the principal cause Of
filling the State Treasury to repletion; but if
it should be ascertained that the withdraw
ing this revenue from the State would leave
the total annual receipts less than the expen.
di,ures, certain per cent. of this license tax
might be paid over (say 20 Or 25 per cent
for the use of the State, and the balance re-
tained by the counties. 1t is neither good
policy nor justice that the State Treasury
should accumulate much larger sum of mon
ey that the wants of the government demand,
while the different counties are largely in
debt and their treasures impoverished, as is
now the case in many instances.
We believe the State can derive an equal
amount of revenue from present untaxed
sources, in lieu of her share of the license
tax, and permit the latter to remain with the
counties for their own necessities. If this
be possible it should be done Immediately.

Biennial Sessions.

There is an urgent disposition in some
quarters that a resort shall be had to ben-
nial sessions Of the Legislature to reduce
State expenses. The proposal has an econo.
mical appearance upon its face, without it
possessing the merit of being possible to car
ry it, as such, into practical operation. 1t is
made. no doubt, by those who are honest in
believing that it will be measure of econo-
my, but who have not examined the work
ings of the system in other States and who
are altogether deceived by superficial aspects.
Since California has been State, not a
single season has elapsed that did not show
the necessity Of Legislation Of some kind,
either in perfecting the crude enactments of
previous sessions, or in passing laws to meet
some new demands of Justice or the wants
of State and county governments. These
emergencies constantly arise, and to-day as
much legislation is demanded and in pro-
gress, as at any previous session.
If States that have been more than half
a century perfecting their laws, have found
upon trial, that biennial sessions were totally
unsuited to the purposes of good for their
people, how much less inadequate will they
be in meeting the requirements of California
interests.
Calitornians are practical and fast people,
and they want practical legislation, if it is
possible to get it; and they want it with
promptness. Biennial sessions would but
create delay and annoyance, and on the
score Of economy would effect but little.
Longer sessions would certainly result from
the plan.
We would prefer, as means of saving
money to the State, to reduce the legislative
representation one third or one-half, lut still
adhere to annual sessions. We would be
content in Placer county, with one Senator
and two Assemblymen, and think that num-
Der would be sufficient to represent the pres
ent constituency; this would be reduction
of one-half our present delegation, and in a
session of ninety days, at the present per
diem of members, would be saving to the
State of s2700. A general reduction of
this kind would be large saving to the
State, and yet give the people the benefit of
legislation annually.
This talk of biennial sessions, sounds much
like buncomle. An effort to get rid of the
unnecessarily large and oftentimes Indifferent
representation, would be in much better taste.
The economy of the latter proposition is
demonstrable-the former is not.

Thousand Dollar Chunk.

On Monday, Messrs, Currie, Chandler &
Gage took from their claim on Temperance
Flat, near Rock Creek, three miles from Au-
burn, splendid quartz specimen. The piece
weighed ninetyfive ounces and three quar-
ters, and contained gold estimated to be
worth $1,000. The nugget was found in
light diggings, five feet below the surface,
in the clay. Several smaller pieces of quartz
containing gold were found at the same time
Although the larger piece had not the ap
pearance of being much water-worn, there
are no quartz lodcs in the immediate vicinity
of the claim. The same company found a
chunk last season, in the same claim worth
s5O7.
We 'hefted' the big 'un the other day,
and have had a contempt for double eagles
ever since.
