The Senate Committee on Constitu-
tional Amendments met last evening al
7:30 o'clock in Department Two of the
Supreme Court for consideration OF the
substitute for Senate Constitutional
Amendment No s, which has been intro
duced by Mr.. Gesford. The usual large
crowd was in attendance, and represent
atives of several railway corporations
dropped in to witness the process of in
cooperating a distance tariff into the State
Constitution.
Gestord opened the discussion with
reference to the feasibility or possibility
Of adopting rate schedule to govern
transportation pending the establishment
Of rates by the Legislature, and then re-
terred to q number of slight changes
made and proposed in the measure. He
said that after due consideration it had
been deemed advisable to eliminate
the two cents a mile proposition and to
substitute therefor a mileage OF three
cents, this being a more Just and equita-
bic return for service.
After the word mile" in line II Of
Section 30, it was also proposed to sub
stitute the words, ''as shown by the thir-
lGenlu dnuGdl report OF LQG 1alIfOaQ
Commissioners OF California;" making
the passage read, "Rates of charge for the
transportation of passengers on ali rail-
roads in this State, whose gross annual
earnings are more than $4,000 mile, as
shown by the thirteenth annual report of
the Railroad Commissioners of Calitor-
MA"
There were number of other minor
changes, in a discussion of which Gesiord
referred to a maximum tariff.
Senator Earl wanted to know if he in
tended his bill to fix a minimum as well
as a maximum rate, TO which Gesford re-
piled that he had no such intention.
but you have clearly specified" !" re-
sponded Earl, in Section 30, that on all
railroads in this State, whose gross annual
earnings are more than $1,000 per mile.
that the $ate shall be three cents per
mile
Gesford read the section referred to
carefully, and then answered that some
mistake had been made in the wording
which would have to be rectihed.
Leeds OF the Traffic Association was then
introduced, and read lot Of comparative
statements which We're submitted at a re-
cent meeting, showing the earnings per
mile of the southern Pacific, as compared
with some Eastern roads, where the con-
ditions are totally different.

port favorably Assembly Bill No. 4O3, by
Mr.. Emeric, which is a substitute for
bills 427, 423. 14S, 12l. 100, 15I and So The

itself against marauding market hunters;
it also prevents the shooting of birds at
night.

Sheriffs and Constables Fish and Game

TWO NEW MEASURES BEFORE THE
SENATE COMMITTEE.
Ex-senator McComas Makes an Argu-
ment in the Interest of
Pomona.

The Senate Committee on Counties and
County Boundaries met yesterday after
noon Immediately after adjournment and
listened to arguments for and against
Senate Bill Sd, introduced by Senator
Seymour of San Bernardino, which pro-
vides for the creation of county TO be
known as San Jacinto County.
Messrs. Atherton, Gill and Seymour
spoke at length in favor of this measure,
Eeiterating TO great extent arguments
already made while the Riverside project
was under consideration.
In their opinion Northern San Diego
had the wealth, population and assessed
valuation sufficient to warrant the estab-
lishment Of new county. This section
is many miles from the county seat, and
justly entitled to some relief at the hands
oi the Legislature.
DR.. Gregory Of san Jacinlo spoke for
the opposition. He did not think that

A Noble Young Man,

The college graduate often sacri-
fees time, talent and opportunity in
loyal service to the interests of those
who are near and dear to him.
A Yale student had barely finished
his college course when his father
died suddenly, leaving a large family
in reduced circumstances. The young
man had planned a professional ca
reer for himself and had an excellent
opening in a western city. Without
a murmur he remained in the east,
obtained clerkship in an insurance
Office and earned what he could for
the support of the family.
Year after year he devoted his life
with cheerfulness TO business for
which he had no taste. twas a plain
duty to help his mother and sisters
and it was not shirked.
AS time passed he read law and
was admitted to the bar, but the ne
cessity of feeding and clothing those
at home forced him to remain an in
surance clerk. Meanwhile, college
classmates without adrag upon their
careers were rising steadily to posi-
tions of eminencein professional life
Some men always get the burnt
cooky," he used to say grimly.
That was his sole comment upon
the sacrifice of his youthful hopes
and ambitions to commonplace home
duties. Youths Companion.
