The Committee on Constitution and
Bylaws reported that it had prepared
tie articles substantially in accordance
with the plan suggested by the State
- orld'S FAIR Commission. It was pro-
POSED that ali citizens OF Sacramento We're
eligible TO membership, upon the pay
ment of 81 initiation fee, and % cents q
month thereafter. The committee also
submitted clause, which is neither
recommended nor condemned, provid-
ing for the establishment of honorary
membership. These memberships are
SPECIALLY designated for persons not resi-
dents of the county. 1t was recon-
lHended that Worlds Fair clubs be es-
tablished in the various Supervisor dis
iricts, and that a Board of Lady Man
;eers be established. 1t is provided also,
that the new association becomes a part
oi the State association.
Ii. NJ. LaRue thought that the by
laws should be taken up seriatim.
Mr.. Lubin said this would take up con-
siderable time, and he thought that the
meeting should hear from T. c. judi
Rins of San Francisco, who was present
to represent Secretary Thompson of the
State Commission.
Mr.. Judkins said that the clause sug-
geSted by the committee regarding hon
airy membership was a most important
one, and the State Commission highly
IL. AlCIuDcTS OI lD6 SaCra-
mento Association could purchase these
honorary membership certificates and
send them to their friends in the East,
making them members of the local as
ISOLATION, and when they go to the
Worlds Fair they quite naturally inter-
est themselves in Sacramento'S exhibits
and products. Other counties were adopt
ing the idea and had sold large numbers
OF these certificates.
IN rrITI
Being asked to give the meeting some
ideas as to what other counties are doing
with regard to preparations for the
Worlds Fair, Mr.. Judkins said that the
State Commission was surprised that
Sacramento had not organized before. In
Southern California there was great ac-
tivity. Nearly all of the counties were
organized. and they were far advanced in
their preparations. They intended to
make a grand showing, and the north
would have TO get to work immediately
in order TO catch up.
Wells Drury asked Mr.. Judlins if the
preliminary Southern California exhibit.
at present in Chicago, had been sanctioned
by the State Worlds Fair Commission.
Mr.. Judkins said it had not. 1t was
simply an advertising scheme, which
any other county or section was privi-
legged TO do. 1t was simply part of
Southern California's enterprise and
push.
Mr.. Drury said that that was the point
he wanted impressed upon the meeting,
with the hope that Northern California
would rouse itself from its lethargy.
Resuming, Mr.. Judkins said that in the
East it was generally recognized that
California was to reap greater benefit
from the fair than any other State in the
Union. And California was expected to
do more at the fair than any other State
in the Union. 1t had been allotted the
largest building, and Fasteners did not
doubt but that great tide of ilnmipra-
ton would go West after tho fair. South
ern California intended to capture all of
this immigration it could, and intended
leaving no stone unturned to herald the
grandeurs of their section.
Mr.. Judkins was piled with questions
from all sides. In answer to them he ex-
planned that the county associations would
not be called upon to stand any OF the ex-
pense of shipping the exhibits, the State
Commission taking charge of that branch
of the work Immediately upon the ex-
hibit being completed; that the California
building would contain displays of all the
industries OF the State. properly arranged
so as not TO lose the identity of the coun-
ties; that besides the State exhibit there
would be special exhibits in the buildings
set apart for that purpose, so that Caliior-
MIA could compete with the world.
OPPOSED TO sECTIoSALIsM.
A general discussion followed on the
necessity of Northern California waking
up, and showing the south that it did not
constitute the State.
Mr.. Lubiu took exception to the sec
tional talk. He said California exhibit
was what was wanted-not Northern or
Southern California exhibits. ssThis
thing of Southern California is getting so
bad,n he said, that before long that Sec
ton will be looked upon as some king
dom outside OF the United States. There
should be no north and no south-its all
California"
