REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Cross. from the Committee on Rules, reported
favorably the amendment TO Rule l6, calling Tor
an additional standing committee Mr.. Cross
said that there is already Committee on Chl-
nese Immigration, and the amendment is made
to have q Committee on immigration, other
than Chinese, to consist of seven members. 1t
| is well known that there has been great effort
10 induce a good class OF immigrants 10 come 10
| the State, especially immigration from the
Eastern States Immigration societies have
been formed in different places Ill the state and
an attempt has been made TO give them cen
| trail head and great number of publ atoms
| have been issued. This matter having attracted
| so much public attention has made 1t a subject
of public Importance, and considering these
matters the committee have agreed to make tins
report. All OF the members OF the committee
| concurred. with the exception of Senator Del
| Vale, and he does not make minority report,
| but claims the privilege OF the iloor, ON the
md = hat n mot
Del Vale said that if there is any object IN
| the formation of new committee he was III Ia
| vor of it.
| Wrirht-In behalf of the adoption Of this re-
solution l desire simply TO say word That
this question of immigration is one of great I'M
portance to the State, apprehend no Senator
| upon this floor Will deny To do so-or, rather
| for this Senate 10 do so, and so declare-lt APP
| pears to me would be a stulti1catlon OF It's own
action, for the reason that it has already created
| a Committee on Chinese immigration, the pur-
| pose and object of which 1 understand TO be to
| obstruct and prevent that kind Of immigration
! which is undesirable and injurious 10 the state
| Upon this question. | presume, we are al
| agreed Now, sir, if this question OF immigra
! ton be of sufficient mpOrtion to justify the ap
| pointment of committee for this purpose, Is il
not of sufficient importance To justify the exist
| ence of a committee to invite and encourage 8
| kind OF immigration that Is desirable ana Dene
| fetal to the State?
Cross-It has frequently been stated, and
| tTuthfully, that We have vast undeyelOped re
| sources in this State From what source the
! brain and muscle shall come to develop these
| resources is Of some Importance 10 the State
| and it is question which stateSmen-lf there
| are any among us-Ought to consider. a com
| Inittee has been appointed the purpose OF which
| IS 70 devise ways ana means 10 prevent mai
| brain and muscle coming from the Chinese En-
| pire and there ought to be Il committee to assis
! in bringing that brain and muscle from bette
, source. I cannot give a better example of wha
| can be done IN the way OF encouraging lmmlgTa
| ton 10 this state than by referring the Senator
from Los Angeles TO his own county, where. by
the action Of intelligent men in getting lnfor
nation as 10 that portion OF our State before th'
people in the Eastern States. the population ha
been more than doubled in five years
Perry said he hoped immigration would bt
encouraged, and hoped it would have the sam,
| effect on all the other counties as in Los Ange
les. II has converted, he said. the county 0
| Los Angeles from a strong Democratic county t
| a strong Republican county.
Whitney, shall vote Tor this report becaus
there is still lacking at least one position 70
some person who wants TO be secretary OF u com
mittee. and | have agreed t. the formation O
this committee that this person shall have
clerkship. 1 think that is the general under
standing among the persons who are working
for that committee. think that IS good rea
son for the adoption Of thisreport, and suppos
the Senate all understand il if they donot the
ought to. There are Committees on Chinese I'm
migration and Labor and Capi'al. These com
mittees are not overworked, but nevertheless
clerkship IS involved.
Del Vallc-I was charitable enough not Z
make that statement when commenced to as
sail It, and am glad the senator from Alamed
has furnished me with the argument. He says
i generally understood that the only object O
the committee is to make place for clerk.
do not know who the clerk Is, but l presume
that has been determined.
Cross-Do you understand, sir. it is to be
lady clerk
Del Valle-I understood 60.
| Cross thought you would be IN favor o
it if you knew that laughter | never hear
the question of clerk mentioned i'll connection
with this committee. If have been eutrap2e
into anything of that kind, ! am sorry but d
not believe il is not the case. ! believe that tn
man who stands on this floor and dcnonncest tn
| appointment Of q committee on cieCh imlai
grants on the ground it is only done to put
clerk in place, has the same RICH
to denounce this senate as only organize
for the purpose of electine a secretary
There is nothing of the kind with me be

and do not care anything about it. do No

Filcher offered Il substitute for the resolution
to the effect that as the Committee on AppTC
