A LOBBYISTS TRICK.
SLANDERED AssEMBLYMAN LAUGE-
NOUR TO FORCE A Bill.

SLANDERED AssEMBLYMAN LAUGE-
NoUR TO FORCE A BILL.
SACRAMENTO, March 15-Assembly-
man Laugenour of Yolo created sensa-
ton tonight by demanding the removal of
lobbyist named Dwyer from the floor.
Dwyer is a hunchback, and has been
working for the passage of bin that would
put the election of trustees of the reclama-
ton districts of Yolo County into the
hands of the wealthy owners of large but,
at present, invaluable tracts of land.
Under the law now in operation mans
influence depends upon the taxes he paws.
Under the proposed law it would depend
upon the acres he owned
Laugenour had a similar bill withdrawn
from the Assembly files. Although the
bill really affects only Yolo County, he
knew nothing of the Senate bill till it had
passed the upper House. Then he began
working against it. He tried to induce
Dwyer to have the bill withdrawn.
Dwyer then questioned his motives and
had afterward said in the lobby that
Laugenour had been bought. It was
known that Dwyer was working for a bill
Laugenour was opposed to. In conse-
ouence, when the removal of Dwyer was
demanded some of the members expressed
dissatisfaction, it appearing that Laugen-
our was taking advantage of his position
to help an opponent from getting a chance
to work for bill. This brought Laugenour
to his feet.
GA question OF privilege, Mr.. Speaker y
| he said
81 wish to explain that / requested the
removal of Mr.. Dwyer from the floor be-
cause he said that had been paid to op-
pose the bill for which he was working.
Taking advantage of the immunity from
physical ehastisement that his crippled
condition insured him he had the impu
dence to say to me that he thought l had
been purchased, and that I could not make
the people of Yolo believe anything else.
81 understand he has said this to others.
| would go through fire and water for a
friend. There is no sacrifice l would not
make for one dear to me, but cannot be
bought to do thing, and will resent al
imputation of that nature in every posi-
Bile way. Not being able to use force upon
the man who lnsulted me there was only
one way to keep him from disseminating
his false stories. This have followed"
Laugenour then explained the bill at
length. He showed why the majority OF
his constituents opposed the bill. He also
showed why the employers of Dwyer
wanted 1t. AS result the House showed
their sympathy for him and their trust by
refusing to have the bill read second
| time.

provisions to be allowed in charter
Among the things, it says that charter
may provide ''for the manner in which

the members of the Boards of Police Com

pensation and government OF such boards
and the municipal police force"
There were no speeches On the subject.
No one had word to say about it, and no
questions were asked. The clerk read the
amendment and a rollcall obtained its
passage. There can be no doubt that if the
members had been more thoroughly ac-
quainted with the contents of the bill there
would have been energetic opposition from
some OF the men who voted for it.
Bulla of Los Angeles has moved to have
the consideration of the bills and other
business of the files end at 3 80 clock Sat
urday afternoon.
If this is adopted the House will adjourn
at some decent hour Saturday evening.
The resolution comes up for action to-mor-
row morning.
Hardly a member has not turned in a
resolution to give one or two of his friends
q longer lease OF Inelr JOBS dIIer the house
adiourns. Altogether, If every demand
were acceded to, it would cost nearly $4,000
to wind up the affairs OF the Assembly.
Last session it cost $500. The session be-
fore it cost only 500.
To-day the Committee on Attaches be-
gan to look over the stack of resolutions.
Their number were too formidable, though,
and, after brief attempt to get some idea
of the men necessary from the resolutions,
they gave up the job in despair and de-
cided to wastebasket all resolutions.
In their stead a committee resolution
Will be presented to the House fixing the
number of men TO be retained at the
smallest possible number. Some of the
resolutions are of most preposterous ma
ture. One man demanded IS day for ten
days during which he hung around the
capitol awaiting for Job.
To-day, upon motion OF O'Day, G. E.
Dixon, E. J. Gates, E. W. Card, F. a.
Blakeley, Robert Young, Gustav Hartman
and Mrs. Seeley were retained a week to
assist the enrolling clerk.
North OF Alameda then moved that all
other committee clerks be discharged
Immediately. This was carried.

A SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Speaker Lynch Had Coerced Them
to Work for Five Dollars Day,
Instead of Eight.

SACRAMENTO, March 15.-For three
weeks a rebellion has been brewing among
the assistant engrossing clerks OF the As
sembly They have been receiving s. a
day The statutes say they shall receive
IS. Speaker Lynch has insisted that they
should not ask for the extra So under pain
OF dismissal This has kept them quiet.
They have been working Just the same,
and tomorrow, backed by the assurance OF
the Acknowledgement that they are right,
they intend making demand on the Con-
troller for their extra SO day for the fifty
eight days they have been employed.
This means STA for each clerk, or $50 for
the lot.
Those interested are: J. B. Horton, as
sistant engrossing clerk; George HattOn,
assistant engrossing clerk; Ella Bateman,
assistant engroSsing clerk; Mrs. n. A.
Cummings, assistant engrossing clerk;
Amy O'Neill, assistant enrolling clerk.
When the resolution appointing the
above-named clerks was presented nothing
was said about salaries. In the committee
their salaries were fixed at s. day each.
Not being lawyers the clerks were I'M
acquainted with the codes and took the
pay allowed them without word. But
soon they learned that last year officials
doing just the same work had received So
q day. Then they began TO investigate.
Soon they learned that a statutory provis-
ion fixed their pay at S. This provision
is section 26S of the supplement to the
codes Of 1898 reads:
There must be paid to the secretary and as
sistsnt secretary, minute, journal, enrolling
and engrossing clerks and their assistants, each
IS per day.
Immediately visions OF additional wealth
filed their imaginations The visions
faded quickly.
Speaker Lynch promptly put his foot
down on the proposition to raise their
salaries. He not only opposed the idea,

FOREST RESERVATIONS.
The Question Attracting Some Attention
mt Washington.

The Question Attracting Some Attention
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Considerable in.
terest has been manifested in the West
over the prospect of the passage of a bill
Tor the protection of the forest reserves.
and II has become evident that, since tho
bill passed the house, il will encounter no
considerable opposition in the senate.
The bill, when il first went to tho senate.
was referred 10 tho committee on public
lands, but the reference was changed
later and II then went to tho committee
on reservations, of which Senator Allen
of Nebraska is chairman.
The necessity OF proper caro- of the for
esis, Tor the preservation of the timber.
and the conservation of the water supply
in all arid mountain states and terri
tories, is generally admitted, even bv
those who oppose tho pending bill. but
they contend that the selections
or land for such reservations ns
have boon made were made hastily and
without an adequate understanding
OF the conditions provided. They assert
that any OF tho reservations arc far moro
extensive than they need be and TINT
they operate TO prevent the settlement of
large areas OF county which might other
wise become productive. 1t Is asserted
by them that the timber only holds tho
snow in the mountainous regions and that
many OF the reservations, especially in
Colorado, California and Wyoming, OK
tend to regions where tho snow docs not
lie at.
There is also objection to the principle
OF using the standing army as n guard for
the reservations.
Probably the objection to placing tho
privilege of cutting timber within the dis
erection OF the secretary of tho interior.
which was made in the house, will also be
revived in the senate.

ances that this sentiment will find much
