Assem- olyman Freeman's bill limiting

passed by vote OF 81 to l.
Asse mi bly, bill 2l3, by Pendlston, rels-
tive to mortgages on personal property,

At IL 80 o'clock the general appropria-
tions bill reported by the committee on
ways and meana came up as a special
order. and the asse bly, went into com
mittee of the whole, Powers, of San
Francisco. in the chair. Spencer asked
the chairman of the committee why the
appropriation bill had been reported 80
early in the session and why the appsr'
ent determination to rush it through.
Chairman Brusie explained that the leg
islsture stood pledged to keep the ex-
penses OF the state within 90 cent limit
and that to do this the total appropria-
tons OF the Legislature must be kept
down to $12.000,000. To do this there
was only one way, ne said. That was
first to provide for the necessary ex-
penses of the state government and
then to see how much remained for the
improvements on state buildings and
the extension OF state institutions. etc.
Other wise, he said, the legislature woul d
go on making extravagant appropria-
tions and at the end it would be found
that all the funds had been exhausted
and that it would become necessary to
have deficiencies in the expense funds
ef several departments OF ths state gov
eminent. Spencer declared that this
explanation was satisfactory and that
be approved of the plan.
Consideration OF the appropriations
bill, item by item, was then begun. No
objection WAS raised until the item Of
5000 for two years. salary for the gov
ernor'e private secretary was reached.
Dixon Of San Francisco moved that
the appropriation be reduced to $4,000.
He said there Yves no reason why the
governors secretary, mere clerk,
should be paid higher salary than the
state comptroller and other state Off
GERS.
Reid, Democrat, spoke vigorously
against the proposed reduction. Dxon's
amendment was finally defeated by an
overwhelming vote.
BIedsoe OF Humb oldt also attempted
to cut down the allowance for clerk hire
in the Office OF the secretary of state.
His amendments, too, were defeated.
When the appropriations for the
maintenance OF the state capitol and the
capitol grounds were reached several
amendments were suggested, and a long
discussion followed. Ii vas agreed
finally to postpone further action on the
bill, and to make it a special order for
next Monday morning. The committee
OF the whole then rose and reported to
the assembly.
Among the bills introduced ia one by
Waymire OF Alameda for the relief OF
