SACRANENTO'S new CHARTER

Some of the hasty and less considerate
friends of Senator Hart of Sacramento
are expressing a feeling Of disappoint-
ment that he has not been given the
Craftsmanship of some such committee as
the Judiciary, and are talking about the
Craftsmanship he has as being unlm-
portant. But those who are more thought
tul are gratified that the Sacramento
Senator has been honored with what is
really the most important trust in all the
committee work of the Senate-Chair-
manship of the Committee on Education.
The fact is that that committee Will be
heard of and its action treated more by
the people than the judiciary or any other
committee, and will be remembered
when the others are forgotten. 1t Will
have before it that which concerns every
man. woman and child in the State di-
fectly. That committee will do more oil
history-making for California than any
other in the Legislature.
THE book RING" ON DECK.
Before it will be made the chief fight on
hand, that the 'book ring" has come here
to inaugurate. Its action is to determine
the whole future, the fate OF system
established by the Constitution and upon
which hinge questions offirst importance.
1t will be the tribunal before which the
fate of vital element in State economy
may be decided, before which the pro-
foundest interests of the common schools
may be put to trial
When it comes to the relative impor-
tance of committees of the Senate, that
having in charge measures relating to
public education, support OF the schools,
fair trial of the home textbook system,
the defense of the people against the
most powerful and unscrupulous combi-
nation of book and money interests ever
known. and representing millions of cap
ital. the Educational Committee over
tops any other.
The Sacramento Senator has place
also on another committee of first impor-
tance-the judiciary Committee-before
which will come the new charter of this
city for critical examination. Likewise
he has been placed on the committee oi
next importance, and which may directly
