WHY THEY VOTED No.
At this point Senator Seaweu sent to
the desk the following, which was or
dered spread upon the journal:
We, the undersigned, who voted against
the McGowan substitute for A, j. r. ,
submit our reasons therefor:
EirSt-It is to the best interests of the
State OF California that the bill known as
the Reilly refunQing bill should ba de
ieated in the Congress of the United
States. The people of the State of Cali
foinia have declared against the passape
OF SAID DiII, ana as their representatives
we feel that Congress should be informed
directly, decislvely and succinctly that
the passage OF said bill would be against
the best interests and welfare of the neo-
pie of this State.
Secondly-We believe that if the in
debtedness due from the Central Pacific
Railway Company TO the State of Cali
fornia is not promptly paid, the Gov
ernment should commence proceedinus
at once to collect the amount due and
pursue the assets of said corporation into
All the companies which have been or
panized for the purpose of promoting the /
construction of said road and have re-
ceived large profits for such work, and
also should be collected from the assets
of the estates or the property standing in
the name Of any OF the directors of said
corporation.
Ihirdiy-We believe that the resolution
directing the Secretary of this BODY TO
telegraph the passage of the resolution
to our representatives in Congress is a
discourtesy to the Assembly. and that the
passage of the substitute by the Senate
will engender differences between the
two houses of the Legislature of the State
of California, and tend to repress the
wish OF the people upon this question.
FourthIy-We think that the bsst way
- 81
the Legislature is TO pass Assembly Con-
current Resolution No. 2. We do SOL
resolution, coming from whatever source
it may, that titly expresses the opinion of
the people OF the State OF California upon
that subject.
Signed: John Fay, j. Fl. Seawel, ".
