A LEGAL VIEW.
The Procedure for Amending the State
Constitution.

prominent member OF San Francisco
bar, who was a member of the convention
that framed the existing State constitution,
was asked last evening whether in his
opinion the Legislature had compiled with
all IFS provisions relating to the removal Of
the capital in their action yesterday.
The lawyer replied that he had not exam
ined the constitutional provis slOns on the
subject with that careful scrutiny which was
necessary to form an opinion that would be
entitled TO any weight He assumed, how
ever, that among the members Of the Senate
and Assembly were many gentlemen who
would not be likely 10 make any mistake.
They had. no doubt, very closely studied
all the points beaTingon the question. They
had had before them several proposed
amendments. which certainly must have
had the effect TO make them very Thoroughly
acquainted with the procedure. The pre-
SUMPTION was that they had adopted every
safeguard to make this amendment a valid
one.
with regard to the objection raised By
The Sacramento Record Union, that an
amendment to the Constitution providing,
for the relocation Of the State capital must
be made by first introducing bill, which
must be printed. read three times. etc,
can only say nOw," he added, that the
point is very important one and cannot be
settled by an off-hand opinion. l should re-
quire some time, which 1 have not at my
disposal tonight, to look over the whole
ground before l would be able to say
whether the contention of the Sacramento
paper can be successfully maintained.
The statement by the same journal that
a constitutional amendment with a condi-
tion attached to it cannot be considered valid
dc not view as carrying so much force"
In regard to the mode of amending the
constitution and submitting the amendment
for the action Of the people, the lawyer said
that 1t Is made the duty of the Legislature
to submit the amendment or amendments TO
the people In such manner and a such time
and after such publication as may be deemed
eXpedient. IF the people," he said, "shall
approve or ratify such amendment or
amendments by majority of the qualified
electors voting thereon, such amendment or
amendments become a part of the con-
stitutiOn"

Sergeant Nash and eleven men guarded
the Supervisorial chambers last night dur

This extra police precaution was due
to the fact that the unemployed" were
again expected to pay visit to the city
fathers. which expectation. however, was
not realized.

Journals Arrayed Against the Pro-

Special to The MORNING CALL

SACRAMENTO, March Bon the passage
by the Legislature of the resolution to move
the capital to San Jose. the Record Union
will say in part: The legislative act now
that 1t has become a sermon instead of
song Is the subject Of legitimate criticism,
which the hasty and ill-advised midnight
action OF the houses has heretofore pre-
vented.
The removal of the capital, if ever accom-
plished, means an expenditure by the tax
payers OF not less than S., 600 900, an in
crease OF the tax rate that will be so enor-
nous, taken with other State expenses. as
to be appalling. The wild and senseless
chatter as to the light cost was consistent
with the haste with which the Legislature
acted, and the undignified, not to say reck
less. procedure with which concurrent reso-
luton No. % was railroaded through and
the rights of the Senators and Assem- bly,
men protesting ridden over roughshod.
Let 1t be understood that we entertain no
bitterness of feeling against the houses or
their membership. Their acts we are deal
ing with as the legitimate subjects of frank
criticism. We say that never before was
such an important matter sprung upon
people in the night hours and rushed through
to apparent fnality before the midnight
hour struck.
No excuse can be made for the immediate
occasion OF the Offeuse. The Bee did not
and does not express the sentiment of the
people Of this city. Its uucalIed- for and
sweeping assault made upon the whole men,

Ter which decent journalism abhors. and is

IL was OF the cloth of a journalism that
more than ell else is calculated to drag the
newspaper business in the mre. But
neither can we excuse the retalatory action
OF tho houses. The fact that it was of
character to justify the belief that 1t was In
splred by unreason and hot temper is what
the people will rebuke. What began, as

There was u performance at the Califor.

company was on board the belated cars.
General Superintendent Fillmore offered to
instruct the conductor to increase the speed
so that the train might make Oakland pier
by 8 o'clock, but this was useless so far as
the theatrical people were concerned, and
the placard was hung out no performance

people tiocked to the theater, notwithstand-
ing the notice OF the mishap In all the even
ing papers, only TO turn away disappointed.
The probability Is that there would have
been full house under ordinary condi-
lions, and the "CrusP would have had a

more beneficial to California than the pas
sage by the Legislature of the resolution to
change the location of the State capital
from Sacramento to San Jose. What was
deemed a jest has proved to be the most
serious piece of work OF the whole session.
In a moment of excitement, smarting
under the criticism and cOntemptuous
abuse of an Ill natured newspaper.
the Legislature has rectifed an error
made forty years ago when the capital
OF the State was removed from San Jose to
Sacramento. San Jose Is the natural capital
of California-tbs most central, easily
accessible and beautiful city of the State
This act will set at rest forever the seces-
sion movement in Southern California,
which has been for years a constant menace
to State unity. and facilitate business and
promote political purity, debauched by
Sacramento associations.
FRESNO, March 13-The Republican will
say in the morning concerning the capital
removal: If the Legislature of California
intends to adhere to the precedent it estab-
liShed in the way of retributive legislation,
we may well wonder what remarkable thing
it will do next. Because the Sacramento
Bee criticized the Legislature, a sensitive
Senator had a bill railroaded through both
houses. having for its object the removal Of
the capital to San Jose. That this action
was taken in revenge is sufficient reason for
condemniDg the measure.
Sacramento is certainly not the best To-
cation for the capital, but 1t is not pre-
tended that this was the reason why the
Legislature wanted to remove 1t TO San
Jose. Another serious objection is the pro-
vision requiring the latter city to deed ten
acres and give ST. eco to the State for
being made the capital city. If the doubt
ful honor of being made the States capital
is to be sold other cities should be given an
opportunity TO bid for it. If it be at all de-
sirable to change the location of the capital
Fresno should be the place chosen.
1t is in the geographical center Of Cali
tornia and has all the requirements OF
capital CITY, The location Of the capital in
Fresno would also settle forever the ques-
ton of State division and do away TO a great
extent with the sectional jealousy now
existing. Fresno's claims for being made
the capital are Of more importance than
those advanced in favor of San Jose.
