BUDD RETURNS TO STOCKTON
Reports the Discovery of Serious
Error in the County Govern
meHf Biz

| ment BHL
| STOCKTON, CAL, March 3O.-Governor
Budd arrived to-day from Sacramento,
where he hes been engaged in looking
over the bills passed by the Legislature
and now awaiting his signature. He has
aimed to give each bill a careful reading
three times TO lessen the liability OF over
looking any small "bugs" which might
be concealed in them. There still remain
almost 100 bills which must undergo the
| final scrutiny. The period in which these
must be signed or vetoed Will expire next
Thursday. The Governor believes that
eighty or hundred of the bills will not
meet with his approval-an unusually
large mum Der for the chief executive to
table, by the way.
whats is to be the fate of the county
government bill?" was asked of Governor
Budd shortly after his arrival here.
II can't tell you about that at the pres
ent time" he replied.
II have not finally decided on it as
yet. There are great many things to be
said in favor of it and some against it'
Have you discovered any more bugs
in the bilis?"
"Yes, and big one-that is, an i'm
portant one. 1t depends on the difference
between the words to- and 'by'-a differ
ence that changes the entire meaning of
law
The Governor added that he believed
the mistake crept in accidentally. 1t is in
the bill concerning the assessment OF raj
roads under lease. 1t was proposed to re-
lieve the lessor of some of the tax, the
portion thus taken off the lessons assess
ment to be added to the lessee's. But
there is either an ellipsis of several words
or the word 'by" should be changed to
"to'' in order to accomplish the desired
object. As the bill reads it would throw
all the tax of the leased road upoI the
lessor.

Decision of Interest to Men and Women

New York, March 27.-The appellate
division of the supreme court has hand
ed down decision that will be OF inter-
est to engaged couples, and especially
to a young man who has given his fian-
Gee, who is a minor, an engagement
ring. Justice McAdams, who wrote the
opinion, holds that when a man be-
comes engaged to marry girl under
legal age, and gives her an engagement
ring he cannot succeed in suit to re-
cover the ring, even though she Tilted
him.
She can enforce all the contracts, he
being of full legal age, but he cannot,
in a court of law, succeed against her
for breach of contract of marriage or
other breach. as she, being minor, is
not bound by her promises. Justice Nc
Adams says. however, that II suit
should be instituted after a minor had
attained legal age and while any prop
erty sought to be recovered was still in
her possession, a different decision

Committee Appointed at indianapolis
Calls Upon Speaker Reed
Washington. March 27.-The members
of the committee on legislation which
was appointed by the Indianapolis mon
etary convention of last summer, called
on Speaker Reed Friday and talked
with him concerning legislation for cur
rency and banking reform. The spokes-
mea of the delegation were George Fos-
ter Peabody of New York, John p. Irish
of San Francisco and III. II. Hanna or
Indianapolis. They spoke of the de-
STABILITY of the passage of a bill au-
thorizing the president to appoint
commission to investigate the banking
and currency system of the country ana
to recommend changes. If any bill en-
bodying system which was accepta-
BILE to the business interests of the
country could be passed they would in
dorse such legislation, without the cre-
alton of any commission. The need or
| changes in the present banking system
| which would insure more plentiful
| and elastic supply of circulation for
| farming districts remote from the cities
was the principal point that they urged
in support of their movement.
| Mr.. Reed told the committee that the
| passage of the tariff bill was the first
| and principal work cut out for this ses-
( sion of congress. Congress moved fast-
er than the people in matters of legisla-
ton. he said. and when public senti-
ment became crystalized in favor or
any particular form of financial legis-
lation congress would be apt to respond
with little delay. If the people demand
ed changes in the banking system and
brought pressure to bear on congress
they would secure the changes. The
conference was informal and pleasant,
but had no definite results.
