CONVICT LABOR BILL.

Manufacturers Association Trying to
Abolish Machinery in Prisons.
A majority of the directors of the Manu-
facturers' and Producers Association on
Tuesday came to the conclusion that the
use of power machinery in the State
prisons is curse rather than a benefit TO
humanity, as by its use many worthy
free men are deprived of the means OF
ma king living. 1t was decided to frame
bill TO prohibit the use of power mac hin
cry in the prisons of the State and ask the
Legislature to make it law. Wednesday
the com mmittee-DIrectors Kerr, Jacobs
and Keller-met ana framed the following
bill, which Manager Lewis took to Sacra-
mento IN the evening:
The people of the State of California, repre-.
sented in Senate and Assem- bly,, do enact as
follows:
Section 1. On and after the 31st day OF De-
cember, A. d. 1898, it shall be unlawful to
manufacture in any prison in this State any
thing whatever by machinery driven by power
produced or generated by any means except
human labor. Any person In charge of or en-
ployed in any prison violating this act shall
be guilty of n felony.

REJoICING AT BERKELEY.
Faculty and Students Welcome the NetCs
From SaoramentO.

hdcuttB ana students Welcome the ActUs
From Sacramento.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 18.-There was
great rejoicing at the State University
this afternoon when the news came that
the measure known as the Wright bill had
passed the Senate and was in readiness for
the signature of the Governor Great
reason had they to be glad, for when the
bill is once signed and becomes a law it
will mean that the revenue from the
State will be just doubled. Two dis
patches bringing the glad tidings came
simultaneously from Senator Stratton and
AssembIyman Wright. These missives OF
Joy to the faculty and students read as
follows:
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. Is, 1897.
President Martin Kellogg, Berkeley, CG'.: The
university bill passed the Senate by unani-
nous vote. +. S. STRATToN.
SACRAMENTO. Cal, Feb Is, 1897.
President Nc tin Kellogg, Berkeley, cal: The
senate repeated the experience received by
university in Assembly and passed bill by
unanimous vote. l have blue and gold pen
for Governor to sign with
HOWARD E. WRIGHT.
When thev were posted on the bulletin
board great crowd gathered to read the
golden words and soon the news began
spreading like wildti fire. At once Presi-
cent Eiston of the Associated Students
sent out the announcement that the stu
dent body would give a big celebration
next week in honor of the Governor and
legislators.
A grand review of the cadet com panies
will be held and exercises will be carried
on in the gymnasium, at which speeches
from the Governor, President Kellogg and
prominent alumni will be made.
When the bill becomes law the income
of the university from the State will be in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 900 year, in
stead of about S125, 600, as al present. This
doubling of the State revenue is to be per-
petual, although half of the increased
amount will 60 toward buildings and gem
eral improvements for the first ten years
The professors and students look upon
the passage of the bill as the dawn of a
new era for the university

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
Reforms Proposed BY the PopuHsts Are
Discussed by the Members of
tie Assembly.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 1s,-Popu-
lism, socialism and the little Swiss Repub-
lie had their field day in the Assembly
this morning. Danton Dryden, Marat
Mcclellan and Robespierre Lands borough,
assisted by Citizens Cartwrig ht and Toland
ard the Chevalier Cutter from the historic
dam of the Yuba, concentrated their
forces upon Louis Philippe Dibble, and ior
an hour the Assem- bly, Chamber re-
sounded with debate on matter, not of
partisans ip, but on an issue overturning
the corner stone of the State Government.
The subject was three constitutional al
amendments-Nos. !, and 3-Introduced
by Dryden of San Diego, their purpose be-
ing to introduce into the governmental
system the initiative and referendum.
Amendment No. l provides that when
ever 20 per cent of the voters of the State
shall petition the Governor to submit to
the people any amendment to the consti-
tuition of the State the Governor must ad =
vertise the same at least 40 days before q
general election, and the amendment must
be voted on by the people.
After ratification by the people no power
can reverse their judgment or do away
with the amendment, unless by the same
means by which it was adopted, namely,
vote of the people.
Constitutional amendment No. 2 pre-
cribes 20 per cent petition to the Leeis-
lature on laws and statutes which the
petitioners desire submitted to the peo-
pie. No. 8 provides that ordinances, Or
ders, etc., of Boards of County SUP r
visors and City Councilmen must be sub
mitted to the people in like manner on a
20 per cent petition.
Dryden made lengthy speech on the
amendments. Their adoption, he said,
would purify politics and be a relief to the
NIL b4 to-
by their representatives and tco often at
the mercy OF powerful and unscrupulous
corporations.
Dibble of San Francisco characterized
the amendments as a proposal to revolu-
tionize the present system OF government

slap at the Market-street road let it hurt
whomever il may. In conclusion he said
Il hope the Senators will not be carried
away by the style of argument lndulged
by the gentleman. The measure is not
one that is in demand by the people OF
San Francisco. Those who live in the
crowded districts of San Francisco are NJ OF
the ones who use the streetcars. The
crowded districts are where the IaDorlng
classes reside, and these crowded districts
are easy OF access to the places where
these people are employed. l hope this
measure will be defeated"
Wilmington attempted to point out the
unconstltutionality of the measure, de-
claring 1t was special leg islation in favor
CT the people OF San Francisco.
Mahoney presented the petition of the
San francisco streetcar EN- mployes protest
ing against the passage of the bill.
Morehouse denounced the measure as
an attempt to regulate fares without an
effort having been made 10 determine
whether they would be just and iair.
This legislation" he sald, sis intended
TO break down the streeicar system of San
francisco and injure the suburban resi-
dents by ompelling the railroads which
they now patroniZe to 90 out OF business.
"WhaJ Is tins biIi!' he exclaimed. at
should be headed entirely dIffeIeat-a bill
to enable some gentleman TO nave an OPP
portunlty to hear the gallery Dark When
he attacks the railroad corporations. He
stands here against the signed petit IN OF
thousands of railroad employees.
II am satisfied" he con cluded, with
great vehemence, that the intelligence,
the honesty, the uprightness OF this SEN
ate cannot Indorse 50 infamous and con-
temptible a piece of legis alton as intro
duced by the gentleman from San Fran
cisco"
Smith said be thought the bill was a
proper one and that he would be pleased
10 vote for it, but there was nothing in
evidence to show that the proposed re-
dUction was fair and justified.
Bert stated that ne coincided with the
views of Wolfe and would vote against the
bill.
Braunhart in closing denied that the
measure was directed against the Market
street Comps in any spirit of vindic-
tiveness. In conclusion he said: 1.-The
battle has just begun. This is but mere
skirm ish on behalf of tn people and the
masses. The day will come when the
corporations will be made to bow to the
will of the people,"
Wolfe, in a sort of "amen" tone, arose
and responded: II hope that day will
soon come" and the debate was over.
The bill was defeated by vote of ayes
to SO noes, Linder alone being absent
Those voting with Braunhart were:
Dwyer, Hall, La Rue, Seawell and Toner
Braunhart was hearty heartbroken over
his defeat.

FOR BERKELEY
Senate Passes the Bill I'm
posing a Tax of One
Cent.
Its Supporters Confident That II
Will Be Signed by the
Governor.
Blue and God Aiorn the Capitol in
Honor of the University's
Victory.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 18.-Sena-
tors, Assem blymen, State officers, news
paper men, legislative attaches, pages,
lobbyists. and in fact nearly every one
ladies Included-about the spacious Capt.
tol building sported the colors of the Uni
versity of California to-day in honor of
the passage through the Senate Of the bill
giving that institution the increased rev.
enue to be derived from an additional l.
cent taxation. The bill has already passed
the Assembly, and is said 10 be certain OF
the approval of the Governor. Blue and
gold not only hung from the lapels of
nearly every individual, but the desks of
the President of the Senate and of the
Speaker of the House were decorated with
ribbons of the same hue.
So jubilant were the epressntatives Of
the university who are here, and who
aided in gaining the victory for the insti-
tuition, that they exhausted the local
market of its supply OF blue and yellow
ribbons in the desire 10 spread in their
unique way the good news.
1t is matter of deepest qualification to
the university that this measure has been
passed, and the news probably came with
added welcome to Professor LIE Conte, who
to-day celebrated mis- golden wedding an
niversary at the Mark Hopkins Institute
of Art 1t will forever obviate the un-
pleasant necessity of the regents and the
faculty of the institution going before the
Legislature as suppIicants or main Etaining
e lobby at the Capitol. Among the
strongest supporters of the measure were
Senator Stratton and Assem- bly, mar
Wright, both of Alameda County.
AT the present time the annual income
of the university is about $175, 900. OF this
$50, 900 comes from private endowments,
and the additional l cent will increase
this total to $500, 900 per annum. OF this
amount about $50, 900 will be set ASIDE for
ten years as a building fund, and there
will. therefore, al the end of that period be
$500, 600 at the disposal of the university
for the construction OF new buildings
The remainder OF the extra appropriation
will be applied to improving the present
accommodations OF the students and in
increasing the mum Der of instructors.
