OTHER IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Senator Wilson has introduced the bill recon-
mended by Governor Waterman, providing that
three Trustees Of the State Library shall be ap-
pointed by the Governor, instead of the FIVE,
that are now elected by the Legislature. The
bill Is TO take effect Immediately, and II passed
would probably legislate Librarian Wallace out
of Office at once.
Senator Greedy has introduced the bill asked
for by the northern sheepmen providing that
Supervisors shall not levy a license tax on sheep
exceeding one cent per head and on cattle and
horses not exceeding ten cents.
Senator Whites bill amendatory of Section
husband may control the community property
he cannot make gift of such property nor con-
vey it without consideration, except the wife
consents in writing.
The constitutional amendment introduced by
Senator Britt provides that no person shall be
assessed except he or she owns more than $500
worth of property.
Senator White has already introduced some
very important bills which have gone to the
Judiciary Committee. One provides that blank
books be printed at the state Printing Office for
the use OF the Recorders of the various coun-
ties, in which to record deeds, the objert being
to reduce the expense. The blanks would have
printed upon them the regular formula and all
that would be necessary to write in would be
the names and description of the property.
The average expense OF recording a deed would
then be about twenty five cents instead of two
dollars Three other bills amend the laws on
education SO as TO make them OF some effect.
AS they are now they are practically dead
letter. The bill providing for law libraries in
the various counties is also an important one to
all parts of the State except San Francisco and
Sacramento. 1t rovides that small portion of
the costs in cases be set aside for the purchase
of law books for the use of the Judges, bar and
public.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will get to
work at once and it is expected there will be
good file to work on within day or two. The
work of the Senate SO far this session is far
ahead of the Assembly, which is reversal of
the general rule.
The question of who will be on the various
committees has been the leading one for the
past few days. President pro tenn. White posi-
lively declines to give ally intimation on the
subject until he makes all of the announce
ments this afternoon. Various gueSSes have been
made and published but Mr.. White says they
are all absolutely without intimation from him,
and most OF them very wild. The following
guess at the Craftsmanship of the Senate COM
mittees my not be any more correct: Corpora
tons, Goucher; Irrigation and Federal Rela-
tions, Boggs; Forestry and Yosemite Meany;
Agriculture, Hinshaw; Claims, Meany; Public
Buildings. Dixon or Langford: Hospitals, Brice-
lana; Education, taminetti; Mines and Mining
Mea5e; Military, Yell: Enrolled Bills Hamill;
Harbor and Coast Defenses, Pinder; Banks and
Banking, Spellacy or Boggs; Constitutional
Amendments. Boggs; Viticulture Roth State
Prison, Caminetti, Boggs or Goucher Chinese
Immigration, WEIGH; Labor and Capital, Britt;
Fish and Game. Pinder; Public Printing, Me-
Donald; County Governments and Boundaries,
ways, Hinshaw; Commerce and Navigation,
Murphy; County Government, Caminetti; FL
nance and City Government Moffitt.
But few of the Assembly committees can be
announced with any degree of certainty,
Speaker Howe having declined to yield any in
formation until to-day. IL seems to he pretty
certain, however. that Mr.. Shanahan will have
the Craftsmanship OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee, the other members being Messrs. Storke
Kenison, Whitehurst Black, Hall, Coomos and
Briefly. Mr.. Tucker, of Fresno, will head the
Committee on Irrigation, with Messrs. Berry,
Wear, Bangs Holmes, avis Matthews McMul-
lin, James, Adams, Edwards, Brieriy. Hook and
Hersey. The Craftsmanship of the Committee
on Education will fall to Mr.. Crawford, OF Lake;
among the other members of the committee
will doubtless be Messrs. Bangs, Wear and
Matthews. Mr.. Sims, of Nevada, will have the
Chairmanship of the Committee on Public
Morals, being the only Republican honored with
a Craftsmanship. unless, as is rumored, Mr..
Young, of San Diego, is continued at the head
OF The committee on Claims: Mr.. Ostrom, of
Corporations; Mr.. Matthews, of Tehama, will
head the State Hospital Committee; Mr.. Dob
bins, OF San Francisco Labor and Capital; Mr.
James, of San Luis Obispo, Viniculture and Viii
culture. Mr.. Wear, of Kern, will be Chairman
OF the Committee on Public Printing: Messrs.
Holmes OF San Bernardino, and La Grave, of
Amador, will probably be on this committee
Mr.. Mccarthy, of San Francisco, will head the
Committee on Chinese immigration and Emf
grafton; Mr.. sewell, of Mendocino will have the
Judiciary Committee, and Mr.. Storke, of Santa
Barbara, that on Constitutional Amendments.
Beginning with this week the Sergeant-at.
Arms and his army of assistants will be required
to enfore the rules with regard to the admission
of persons on the floor of the Assembly. So far
this session the public has been admitted indis-
criminately, and the Chamber has been crowded
with hangerson who had no business there
Much confusion and noise was the result, and
some OF the leading Democratic members had
an informal meeting yesterday and decided
that it must be stopped.

Friday allowing a weeks pay to the temporary

some of the legislators from Southern Califor-
MIA are laying for the London Exhibition pro-
| ject with stuffed clubs. They imagine that
| they see in il scheme to boom Northern Call
folnia. By the time the bill is presented they
will have discovered that this view is decidedly
narrow and utterly without foundation.
Assemblyman Matthews is noted as one of
the most skilltul whist players on the Coast.
The new charters of the cities of oakland, Los
Angeles and Stockton. now in the hands of the
State Printer, will make very voluminous docu-
ments.
