lie recommends such action a. will
give efficacy to the assessments of the
Board Of Equalization. Several great
corporations have not proved obedient
to the laws, in refusing to bear their Just

regretted that the retiring Railroad
Commission has neglected and refused
to take any positive action towards en-
forcing the powers conferred upon it by
the constitution and laws. ALI the

between the people and
TRANSPORTATION coMpANIks
TO final and satisfactory termination.
The question of regulating freights and
fares IS the great living issue of to-day.
THE SUNDAY LAW.
He considers the late election an en-
phatic endorsement Of the attitude of
the Democracy toward the Sunday law
and that it is an universal burden and
is an enactment which experience has
shown cannot be enforced.
REAPPoRTIoNMENr.
The reapportionmcnt OF the State, he
says. should engage the early attention
of the Legislature. The instances are
frequent in which party in lower has
enacted an apportionnent law for par.
ti1an purposes. which is wrong.
THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The people will depend upon their
Congressman to guard them against any
attempt to render nugatory the Chinese
restriction law by allowing Chinese to
enter the country in transitu.
ROAD LAWS, ETC.
Prompt legislation is needed on the
subject OF a general road law, and laws
providing for the incorporation Of mum.
eipal governments, etc.
PRISON GOVERNMENT.
He recommends change in prison
government to the solitary system. San
Quentin should be made distributing
prison and prisoners should be graded
according to their criminal standing.
IMMIGRATION.
He invites consideration to the immi.
grafton question, where careful legisla-
tion is needed.
his PLAN OF GOVERNMENT.
In closing the Governor gave bis ideas
oil good government thus: To tighten
tle burdens of taxation and reduce ex.
penses to the lowest possible standard;
to allow the largest personal liberty
consistent with the general welfare and
not to govern except where government
is necessary; to administer the laws
evenly and impartially on all classes and
interests, and he promises his devotion
to the practical carrying out of his
theory.
