When Assembly Constitutional Amend
ment No. q came up there was a long
discussion. The measure provides for a
bonus of 81 100000 for competing trans
continental railroad. The Humboldt
bantam expressed himself as willing to
enact anything as long as it was in oppo-
sition to the Southern Pacific Company.
Mr.. Mordecai cited the folly of such an
amendment, giving instances of similar
appropriations where no good had been
accomplished. Kennedy spoke in favor
of the bonus. He was followed by MIR.
Duckworth, who showed that the passage
of such measure would be discrimina-
ton in favor of San Francisco as against
the interior. If the people of that city
wanted competition they should show
with coin the sincerity Of their wishes.
The amendment lacked the requisite two
thirds vote, and was defeated by the fol-
lowing vote:
