LEGISLATION NECESSARY.
THE SUPREME COURT COMMISSION
MUST BE RENEWED.
The Assembly Judiciary Committee
VIII Duplicate Senator Car
penter's Bill.

When the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee met last night Mr.. Bullock, Secre-
tary of the Supreme Court Commission
ers, was present, and asked the committee
to have introduced bill for the contin-
uance Of the commissioner re-enactment
Of the law passed four years ago. A
similar bill, Mr.. Bullock said, has al
ready been introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. Carpenter. There is a vacancy at the
present time in the Board of Commits
sioners, but no learned lawyer could be
induced to take the position for the re-
mainder of the term without the COM
mission will be continued. II is abso-
lutely necessary for the Supreme Court
to have somerelief, which under the ex-
listing laws can be done only by Board Of
Supreme Court Commissioners.
The Chairman of the committee was in
structed to introduce bill in accordance
with Mr.. Bullock's 8 request.
1t was the sense of the committee that
Mr. Bretz be permitted to withdraw his
bill providing for seats for females in
mercantile and manufacturing establish
ments, as there is now an existing law
covering all the points Of Mr.. Bretz's bill
Assemblymau DoGge's bill directed
against shyster lawyers, and providing
that it shall be a misdemeanor to adVer-
tise to procure Il divorce or nullity of
marriage, was considered favorably. The
bill will be reported back to the Assem-
bly, with recommendation that it do
pass.
\ very important measure is Assembly
Bill No. 81. introduced by Mr.. Bulla.
| The committee considered it. but de-
ierred action until tonight. The bill is
in relation TO the sale OF real property for
delinquent taxes, and the redemption
ana resale of such property. 1t provides
that the State shall purchase all property
at delinquent tax sales; that the property
may be redeemed any time within five
years by the original owner or party in
interest if not redeemed within that
time it shall be decided to the State which
may sell it.
The bill further provides that if the
/ property be redeemed within six months
10 per cent. additional shall be added TO
the taxes; if within q year, 20 per cent,
and each subsequent year an increase OF
20 per cent. over the preceding year.
Mr.. Bulla explained that as the law now
now stands purchasers of tax titles only
buy such property as they think will be
I redeemed by the owners, and then the
purchasers exact eXtortionate sums from
the owners to permit them to recover
their property, and the poorer property
reverts to the State. Mr.. Bulla thinks the
State should get the cream as well as the
skim, by having the valuable property
revert to the State. The bill cuts oil the
allowance to the Auditor of 81 for every
delinquent tax sale, as now.
Some of the members of the committee
expressed some doubts as to the constitu.

The Senator prefaced his motion with
quite a speech, and Senator MCGOWAN
raised the point of order that under par

The point of order was sustained.

ures in which he is interested, when
Shanahan rushed into the room and ad-
dressed the members on the best methods
Of downing the railroad company. He
had evolved certain ideas as to how anti
railroad legislation should proceed, and
proposed to instruct the members Of the
committee as to their duty. In apologize
ing for his hasty entrance and fierce in
corruption, he stated that he had left an
important committee meeting in another
room for the express purpose of attend
ing to the Committee on Corporations.
Several members objected to hearing him.
but the Chairman decided to allow him
the privilege Of addressing the members,
and the tall Sycamore" straightway un-
burdened himself OF many words In
the course of his remarks he reminded
his hearers that he was the fond father
of anti-railroad legislation in California
and that his ideas had at last, after years
of waiting, been incorporated into the
platform Of one Of the great political
parties. He thought that he should be
consulted in all matters concerning rail
way legislation. as opposition to corpora
tions had originated in his fertile brain.

IMPROVING THE GUARD.
SENATOR EVERETT'S MILITARY
BILL FAVORABLY CONSIDERED.
Provision for Ten New Companies-No
More Dress Unfforms-The
Naval Reserves.

The Senate and Assembly Committees
on Military Affairs met in Joint meeting
last night in the Adjutant-GeneraIs
office and took up Senator Everetts bill
for the improvement OF the National
Guard.
Ihe bill proposes to amend several sec
tons Of the Political Code SO as to add ten
more companies to the guard, making
seventy in all instead of sixty, as at pres
ent, including one battery and one troop
of cavalry; also, to require that regi-
mental or battalion colors shall bear State
devices; that any member of the organi-
zatlon who shall have served three years
satisfactorily may enlist again for one,
two or three years, at his option; that
officers may 90 on the retired list for dis
ability, or after eight years of continu-
ance in service; that regiments consist Of
not less than six companies nor more
than ten. Some changes are also
proposed in regimental and staff Off
GERS and in method of concentrating
field music. Orange County is to be in
cluded in the First Brigade. Solano in
the Fourth and Glenn in the Fifth. 1t is
also proposed to do away with dress uni
forms, so far as the Stale providing them
Will provide for the appointment of
! board, consisting of the Quartermaster-
General and two commissioned officers,

shall purchase cloth and distribute it for

uniforms may supply themselves at their
/ own expense and adopt any kind Of uni
/ for they choose, as is done in the East.
/ The monthly appropriation for cavalry
companies is by The bill increased from
Sl50 TO 500. Provision is also made for
the establishment Of a hospital and am
/ bulance corps, and six men for each bri-
| gade, the expenses to 5e borne by the
| State. 1t IS also provided that there shall
/ be graded service bars instead Of new
medals for each five years as at present.
| Adjutant-General Allen called atten-
ton to the effect that appropriations had
! not been provided for in the bill. SO it was
amended so as TO provide that money
sufficient to meet the Increase in the
4 service be provided for The Adiutant-
/ General also offered a suggestion for
/ economy that instead Of holiday brigade
encampments at the seaside or other dis

as to save expenses for transportation.

Rather Expensive.

The Bill to Keep the People Posted
Rather Expensive.
There was not a quorum in attendance
at the Assembly Municipal Corporations
Committee meeting, held yesterday
morning, but nevertheless several bills
were considered in an informal way.
Mr.. Pendleton's bill, No. p, providing
for work upon streets, etc, was talked
about, but temporarily passed over.
Assembly Bill No. 43, introduced by
Mr.. Finlayson, was then taken up. The
author of the bill was present and said he
introduced it at the instance of the Cham
ber Of Commerce of Los Angeles; that
that body was unanimously in favor of
the bill. 1t provides that monthly state
ments shall be published Of city indebt-
edness.
Mr.. Finlayson claimed for the bill that
it would keep the people advised and ex-
ert them to look after the interests of
their respective cities, and thus have q
moral effect in securing the proper ad-
ministraton of city affairs. In Reno,
New, there is a similar law in effect, and
il has been the means of enforcing econ
omy.
| In Los Angeles the expense for monthly
/ publications would be about $50 per
month. but Mr.. Finlayson thought it

| ing to the city. By having the advertis-
/ ing done in papers of opposite political
[ persuasions they would act as a guard
/ upon each other against extravaganza.
Mr.. Anderson thought the people of
Sacramento would be opposed to such an
expense being saddled upon them. In
! Sacramento at the present time weekly
summarized statements are published,
/ which answer all requirements, and the
/ expense is very limited. Mr.. Anderson
1 thought the bill might possibly have a
good effect in some cities
/ Other members thought the bill should
make some provisions for cities and
| towns of less than $4,000 population,
which the bill does not provide for.
] The bill was postponed for mature con-
I sideration.
The committee, rather those present,
! were in favor Of the passage Of Mr..
/ Schlesinger's bill limiting the time
I within which franchises or privileges for
street railways may be granted. 1t was
( decided to recommend the passage of the
1 bill il the absent members of the commit
tee favor it, and it is understood they do.
The bill provides that it shall be unlaw-
ful for the Board Of Supervisors of any
county, or city and county, within tho
| ninety days next preceding the date Of
holding general election, aud within the
| seventy days next Immediately follow
/ ing, including the day Of holding such
