ON THE FILES.
O'Briens Assembly Joint Resolution
-, asking a national appropriation, and
a Government exhibit for the Pacific
Coast Exposition of 1901, was amend
ed in the wording and sent to the
printer, keeping it's place on the f1ie-
NICARAGUA ONCE, MORE.
Wade made his motion to reconsider
the vote whereby S. J. r. 10, relative
to the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal was refused adoption on Friday.
He thought it would have bad look
if it went out that the California Leg
islature had refused to adopt such a
resolution as that, and even II 1T was
not worded just to suit everybody it
would be better to reconsider the vote.
Caminetti called attention to the fact
that the Assembly several days :. ago
adopted and transmitted to the Senate.
an Assembly joint resolution on the
canal, in which the language was I'M
equivocal concerning Government own
ership and operation. This resolution
was with the Senate when that body
adopted this one, which is vague. and
ambiguous. He did not want to see the
Government build the canal and then
allow it to pass into the hands of a
corporation.
Brown thought the House should.
stand by the resolution created and
adopted by itself.
Wade Offered two amendments, one
to strike out the word control and in
sert the word Operate" the other to
eliminate the words under the aus
pices of The amendments were
adopted and the resolution sent to the
printer.
SANFORD'S BILL STANDS.
Raw called up his motion 10 recon-
slider the vote by which Sanford's A B.
So, prohibiting the blacklfsting of en-
ployes in lumber mills. etc, was passed.
The motion to reconsider was lost.
CARTOON BILL STANDS
Cowan called up his motion to re-
consider the vote by which Works A.
B. 400, the bill exterminating cartoons
and leaving cartoonists with their ,oc-
cupation gone. was passed.
He said some features of the bill
might be good. hut as a whole he
thought it was Unfair He believed
that the permission to depict convicts
should be extended to include those ac-
cused of crime, as this was often an
aid in finding and arresting criminals
AS for cartoons, he didn't know that
they were any worse than the literary
matter which accompanied them, and
which was full of filings and sarcasm.
Life was a serious thing, but il was not
well to eliminate all the fun. He be-
lieved some of the members were not
noticed as much as they would like He
therefore moved to reconsider.
Feliz supported the motion He be-
lieved the law of libel, if appealed to,
was sufficient protection from injury
He thought members took cartoons too
seriously. 'Is Sur bump of self
esteem" Feliz asked, "outclassing all
the other bumps on our heads?"
Melick said he wanted the vote recon-
sidered. He considered the cartoons
fattering. This brought applause, as
Melick has been favorite subject with
the artists. Melick said the bill had
been rushed through out of pique.
Members had looked every morning
through the papers to see themselves
with their ears exaggerated, or their
noses elongated, and had been disap-
pointed, and then they went and voted
for that bill.
Burnett was absent when it passed,
and wanted it reconsidered, so he could
vote on it.
Cosper wanted it reconsidered He
had been absent, too, but he was i'm
pressed with the idea that the bill was
unwarranted and unconstitutional and
a restriction of the press. He should
be as glad as anybody of a bill that
would legislate truth and honesty into
the press, but if a man had done wrong
let him be excoriated. The papers had
certainly paid their respects freely to
the Investigating Committee, but as for
him Cosper), he had only been amused
and f1attered.
But all this eloquence was lost, and
so was the bill-by vote of Is noes
to few ayes.
