AntiCartOOn Bill Gives the SOlOS an Opportunity to

any living person a resident OF California
without the written consent of such per-
son first had and obtained; provided, that
it shall be lawful TO publish the portrait
of a person convicted of a crime. A Vio-
lation of this section shall be a INSIDE
meanOr. and shall be punishable by a fine
Of not less than 500 nor more than 500,
or by imprisonment in the County Jail for
not less than one month nor more than
six months, or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment. All persons concerned in
said publication, either as owner or man
ager, editor or publisher, or engraver, are
each liable for said publication.
When the bill came up Senator Cur
tin submitted the following amend
ment:
Sec. 25s. It shall be unlawful to pub
lish in any newspaper, handful, poster,
book or serial publication, or supplement
thereto, the portrait of any living person
a resident of California other than that
Of a person holding q public office in this
State without the written consent of such
person first had and obtained; provided,
that it shall be lawful TO publish the por-
trait of a person convicted of a crime.
1t shall likewise be unlawful to publish
in any newspaper, handful, poster, book
or serial publication or supplement there
to any caricature of any person residing
in this State which Caricature will in any
manner reflect upon the honor, integrity,
manhood or reputation or business or po-
litiCal motives of the person so carl
Catured or which tends to expose the in
dividual so caricatured to public hatred
or contempt.
To the amendment of Senator Cur
tin, Senator Leavitt submitted another
amendment, adding the word 'ridicule"
before the word contempt in the sub
stitute section, and then upon the word
'ridicule" the fight was on.
In introducing his amendment. Sena-
tor Curtin said that the bill was aimed
to prevent an undoubted evil. but that
it went too far. There was no harm
in a cartoon that was neither malicious
nor personal, and he did not think such
drawings should be legislated out Of
existence. When a man aspires to pub
lie Office. he said, he becomes. in a
measure, public property but only so
far as his public life was concerned.
and so far would he allow the cartoon
list to ply his trade; he objected to the
prohibition of such cartoons by the
original bill. 1t was then that Leavitt
submitted his amendment and a quar-
ter of an hour was spent on definition
of the word "ridicule" before the de-
bate was again taken up.
The amendment on ridicule having
been allowed to come before the House.

then the vote was taken and everybody
voted just as he would have voted had
there been no oratory; but the silent
ones were tired and didn't care, and the
orators were satisfied and exhausted,
and it was everybody's turn to con-
graduate everybody else. Altogether it
was a great day for the press and pub
lie men.
The bill was introduced in the AS
