HOW NEW COUNTIES
MAY BE CREATED

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. Previous to the Legis-
lature of 1893 nothing was easier in the
way of enactment than the creation of a
new county. All that was necessary was
the introduction of a BILL little lobbying,
and the trick was done. In 1893 the Legis-
lature prepared and submitted to the peo-
pie who adopted it, a constitutional
amendment, which provided that the
Legislature should enact general law to
govern the creation of new counties. The
amendment was adopted, but the Legis-
lature never made any law, and since that
time there has been no way by which
county troubles could be settled.
Burnett of San Luis Obispo County in
the long felt want. 1t provides that coun-
ties may from time to time be formed
from parts of other counties provided that
in so doing no county is reduced to less
than a population Of 5000 or that any
county shall be created having less than
5000 population.
In order to create a new county, a petit
ton signed by so per cent of the qualified
electors of any district wishing to sepa-
rate itself shall be laid before the Board
of Supervisors The petition shall be ac-
eompanied by bond of $4,000 to guarantee
the payment of all expenses of the cleo
ton which shall be necessary to effect the
disunion.
The bill was referred to the Committee
on Counties and County Boundaries. The
same bill was introduced in the Senate
to-day by Senator Trout.

DIBBLE HITS AT
POLITICAL ADVERTISING

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 1--Assemblyman Dibble
stated this evening at the meeting of the
Assembly judiciary Committee that he
would not only vote for any purity of
election law that would include the max
ing it felony for any newspaper to
solicit advertisements from candidates for
office at the time of election, but would
stand on the floor of the Assembly and
advocate it, and If such a bill did not
come before the Assembly he would form
ulate one. He denounced the practice in
good round terms.
The matter came before the committee
through a bill introduced by Caminetti
which condemns the practice of candi-
dates for Office treating, buying or giving
cigars, intoxicating liquors or temperance
drinks to any person at the time of cleo
ton, and provides for a punishment of
the same. When the matter came UP As
semblyman Dibble was very ELUSIVE in
his arguments in favor of having il
amended so as to include newspaper peo-
pie also in regard to soliciting advertise
ments. Caminetti Immediately arose to
his feet and stated that If such clause
was included it would certainly kill his
bill, and asked that it be not included.
The committee reported favorably upon
the bill without Dibbles amendment.
Bill $40 was also taken up and reported

confidence operator, no matter in what
walk of life he may be operating, to
kill a newspaper man who exposes him
and thereby protects the public. He
will not for so doing, be held amenable
to the laws.
When the bill comes up in the Senate
Senator Stratton of Alameda has an
amendment to propose that will have
a material bearing upon the bill. His
amendment will propose q closed sea-
son, during which the killing of news
paper men is not authorized. This
closed season will be from August l to
August q of each year. In defense of
his amendment Senator Stratton will
claim that there is a closed season for
all game. during which the particular
fowl or animal covered by the law is
given immunity from the hunter in or
der that during the breeding season
there will not be a useless slaughter
and thereby the particular fowl or an
imal will be permitted to propagate the
species. Without some protection, Sen
ator Stratton believes that the news
paper men might become extinct, and
it is his opinion that they are entitled
to the ordinary protection given to
game of various kinds by the law
1t is also understood that Senator
Braunhart will propose an amendment
which will prescribe that all killing of
newspaper men, in order to be legal,
shall be done with the weapon of the
ordinary suicide-a Smith & Wesson
of 3S caliber.
1t is mutually agreed by a number
of Senators that an amendment shall
be added to the bill fixing the distance
at which the murder of a newspaper
man shall be justiflable at not less than
ten PAGES nor more than fifty. The OBJ
lection of maximum limit is to prevent
the use of cannon or long-range guns.
