A Puzzled freshman.

Some years ago, class in the San
Francisco art school was startled by
the sudden appearance in its midst
of q dilapidated Irishman who, with
tears in his eyes, begged for money
enough to get him "a bite The
first impulse OF the presiding genius
was to request him to move on. But
his picturesque qualities suggested
that he might be given chance to
earn his supper by sitting as a
model.

kindly. IF you viii permit these
young ladies to paint you, we will
pay You four bits. What do you
say?"

beggar, with q puzzled look in his
face.

Civil Service Provided For.

The civil service measure which Rep
resentative Keefer introduced into the
house provides for the appointment by
the Governor of three civil service COM
missioners, each Of whom shall be from
a different political party.
The bill places under civil service rules

ployes Of all State penal and charitable
institutions and asylums, and teachers
in public schools, colleges and univer-
sites to police and fire departments In
cities maintaining paid departments, and
rules may be extended at the discretion
Of the Governor to any or all appOintive
State, county or municipal officers, ex-
cept those which are subject to confrma-
tion by the Senate or city council, or
to the heads of principal departments In
the State or any city.
The commissioners are to assist the
Governor in preparing civil service rules
and appointing examination boards.
They are given a secretary, who will re-
ceive a salary of s2,5O0 per year, and
they must maintain their Office In the
State house. They receive IS per day
for actual services and actual expenses.
The regulations set forth in the measure

of the laws of this State, 1t should be
made the duty Of the attorney general,
upon being notified by the secretary of
State Of such failure, to commence pro-
ceedings against such corporation to
wind up It's affairs, and that a receiver
be appointed to collect It's assets, pay It's
indebtedness, and distribute the balance
OF the assets, after paying costs and eX-
penses, among its stockholders.
THAT any corporation organized un-
der the laws of this State, which for
three successive years fails to make the
statements required by law, or fails to
elect its officers or to transact business,
shall, by such nonaction, cease to have
any legal existence.
That any corporation organized un-
der the laws Of any other State, but
whose business is principally within this
State, shall not be permitted to continue
In business longer than one year with
out Incorporating under the laws Of this
State"

BUsH's SENSIBLE REPORT.

In his biennial report to the legisla-
ture, Secretary Of State Bush makes a
number Of interesting recommendations.
Mr.. Bush is a practical printer and his
experience in that line leads him to be-
lieve that State ownership of the print
ing plant would give the State double
the results for the same expenditure.
He thinks that the penitentiary the re-
form school, the reformatory and State
agricultural college ought to do their
own printing Another sensible recon-
mendatlOn is that each department and
institution be allowed specific amount
for printing, and he believes that by so
doing orders would be curtailed. He ad-
vises a revision of the rates paid the
State printer but points out that hOr-
izontal reduction would not be reason
able, as some classes Of work are secured
on reasonable terms, while others are
too high.
Mr. Bush believes that the system oil
issue Of public documents is grossly
wasteful and decidedly unsatisfactory.
The State librarian should be charged
with the distribution Of all reports and
should mail them only on application,
keeping a record of the number printed,
the number sent out, the number remain
ing and the number Of requests in ex-
cess of the supply. Reports covering
this information should be made to the
legislature for It's guidance in determin-
ing the number which should be printed
in the future. He calls attention to the
fact that the number of copies OF the
statutes authorized is exceeded by the
number required to be distributed, and
that the former should be increased or
the latter diminished.
He then takes up the corporation laws.
There are $1,000 charters on file in his
Office, of which 5000 are churches, GEM
eteries and other similar organizations
not intended for pecuniary profit to
stockholders He has succeeded in weed
ing out most of the dead ones and has
completed the index and records so as
to include this information. He advises
the passage of new law ON the subject
OF chartering corporations, his remarks
on the subject being as follows:
"The fee for Incorporating in Kansas
is $1 whether it be a railroad company
with millions of capital stock, a church
to spread the gospel of peace, or a club
organized to evade the provisions Of the
prOhibitOry law; and when charter,
properly executed, is received, it must be
filed and recorded by the secretary of
State. No person or board has author
ity to pass upOn the charter, and the
result is that thousands of corporations
with millions of dollars Of capital stock
ION paper) have been chartered by the
State, that never had a dollar back of
them or valid reason for being brought
into existence, except to swindle the pub
lie; and the State, by issuing such char
ters, has been a party to the fraud. /
would recommend that a new corpora
tion law be passed embodying the fol-
lowing provisions:
