WAxED ELOQUENT OVER
THE INHERITANCE TAX

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 9.-Whether or not to tax
the inheritance of an absent brother or
sister was a subject over which more
than one Senator waxed eloquent to-day.
Senator Braunhart's Senate bill No. was
the cause of 1t ALL and an amendment
placing back in the bill something the Ju-
dietary Committee had already stricken
out was the direct occasion of all the ora
tory before it was defeated.
To place back in the bill a clause -ex-
empting the inheritance of absent broth
ers and sisters would be to reverse them
selves, declared Senator Bulla, and Sem
ator Davis then took up the cudgel and
explained how the amendment refused to
stay dead after the committee had hit
it with club. Bulla, with the habitual
gallantry of the South, could see the wis
dom and the justice in allowing sisters to
inherit without the supervision of the tax
collector, but he thought brothers could
and should shift for themselves.
Senator Curtin, who generally likes to
delve deep into the legal aspect of things,
tried a touch of sentiment which won a
nod of Senatorial approval from Bulla.
Curtin could see no reason why the lit
tie nieces and nepheWS of the dece2Sed, /,
possibly and probably minors, Should be
assessed for their inheritance While the
brothers and sisters, generally adults.
charge Smith of Bakersfield admitted
the existence of brother whom he had
not seen for twenty years, and while the
tie that still bound them was a strong
one, still he was willing his brother
should pay tax on any little testament

Senator Morehouse says that notwith-
standing his desire to wallow in the blood
of offending newspaper men he will offer
an amendment to the cartoon bill which
will provide that cartoons may be pub
ltshed If they be not drawn with malice
prepense and a desire to injure or distress
the subject. Morehouse will also mitigate
to great extent the severity of the pres

COLONEL JACKSON
UNFOLDS HIS PLAN

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 9.-Late tonight Colonel
j. P. Jackson's plan for breaking the
deadlock was unfolded. In brief he
proposes to consolidate all the elements
of opposition to the candidacy of Dan
Burns. He would call convention of
the legislators who are voting for
Grant, Barnes, Bulla, Scott, Bard. Fell
ton and Estee. The numerical strength
of these scattered forces is fifty-eight.
The colonel would have all of them
meet in convention and ballot openly
for United States Senator. If no one
receives a majority of the iftyeight
on the first show down then the lowest
candidate is to be dropped. The pro-
cess Of dropping the lowest candidate
is to be continued until one man re-
ceives the entire vote. The fifty eight
Republicans, with the aid OF three
Democrats may then elect Senator.
There is a good deal of merriment in
the camps of Bulla and Barnes over the
unfolding of Jacksons method of
the opponents of Colonel Burns to vote
for Grant. In the Burns camp there
is "ha ha" at the expense of the
Collector and his caucus scheme.
There was an alarm in the Burns cor
raj to-day. Howard Wright was not
present and Dan was shy a vote. Jake
Steppacher was in great state of trep-
idation and blamed Dlbble for the
blunder or mishap. Dibble replied that
he was too busy to look after Wright
and then Jake suggested that the ex
Speaker should be permanently paired
to avoid a repetition of the disaster.

which tends to blacken the memory" of
any one dead or 'impeach the honesty or
integrity" of any one living, shall be sup
plemented by the name of the one who
writes 1t. The bill is a substitute for the
one which makes it pastime to Kill the
men of pen and pencil, or makes 1t only
necessary to have soap and towel handy
to get rid of the only stain his former bill
would recognize. 1t is the result of the
discussion before the Judiciary Commit
tee of the Senate Of few days ago, in
which much of the pent-up bitterness of
the senior Senator from Santa Clara took
the form of a speech. His speech was
well-worded and interesting denunciation
of law which closes the muzzles of law
less pistols, and against the men who
write on personalities, and having del1v-
cred it he felt better, and not SO VICIOUS,
and, taking up suggestion from senator
Davis, he demanded names In MS next
bill.
AS it is now, both bills are before the
Senate, and should the murderous one De
allowed to go before the Senate as well
as it's running mate, there will be double
dance upon the wishbone OF the prostrate
journalist, for If there is aything a leg
islator dearly loves 1t is to follow IN the
footsteps of the eloquent and erratlc SEN
ator Simpson, of Pasadena, to deliver an
impassioned speech in one direction and
at the press, and then kill the bills.
Senator Warehouses; latest idea in ed
itorial legislation is as folloWs:

sented in the Senate and Assembly, do enact

DOUBT IN REGARD TO
SCHOOL TAXATION

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 9.-Doubt seems to exist in
the minds of the members of the Assem-
bly, Judiciary Committee in regard to the
taxation of school property. Constitutional
amendments 2, 7 and ID, which all relate
to the subject of school property taxa
ton, were reported back to the Assembly
without recommendation by the commit
tee this evening. Representatives from
Stanford University appeared before the
committee and spoke in favor of amend
ment 2, which relates directly to the
Stanford University. The object of the
amendment is to exempt all the property
which is connected directly to the college
from taxation and in consideration of
which the university is willing to allow
residents of this State tuition free of
charge. The other amendments are of
like nature in regard to schools in the
southern part of the State, with the ex-
ception of the free tuition. When the
matter comes up in the Assembly, as it
will in the near future, considerable dis
cussion will follow.
The bill relating 10 administrations were
all put over until Monday evening, which
is the next meeting night of the commit
tee.

PROF HERMANN GROVE JOHNSON IN HIS MARVELLOUS NET OF HAND PERFORMANCE

Colonel Jackson and Milton Green were
boon companions in the Perkins cam
pa1gn two years ago, hence it is not
strange that much of the colonel's time
is passed in the room of Mr.. Green.
The Alameda kilograms which were
programmed to excite Grant boom
have fallen as fiat as fell the mercan-
tile Endorsement which Nose Gunst pro-
cured for Dan Burns in San Francisco
In each case the Calls prompt exposure
knocked out the vitality of the scheme
The touts are here in force again, and
may rally for one more big bluff, but
positive information from the inside Of
the Burns corral is to the effect that
the colonel does not expect to win
The best that he can do is to defeat the
election Of any Senator. This decision,
if carried out, would not bring Senator
Perkins to grief. Perkins would be well
pleased to have as colleague weak
ling like Mr.. Grant Of San Diego, but
he would view with alarm" the cleo
tion of some man of robust and vital
energy. No Senator would suit Perkins
to a dot.
Should the Legislature adjourn with
out electing a Senator to succeed
Stephen NJ. White great pressure may
be exerted to induce Governor Gage to
call an extra session on the single ques-
ton of the Senatorial vacancy. Already
there is talk of such plan. In the dis
cussion of the matter it is said that
public opinion, backed by the influence
of the Republican party organization,
would compel members to come to an
agreement. When the, subject was pre-
sented to Governor Gage this evening
he manifested no inclination to express
his views thereon. His friends enter
tain the opinion that he never will yield
TO extra session pressure.
He may deem it advisable to consult
several of the leaders in each house and
endeavor to facilitate action on the gen.
eral appropriation bill for the mainte-
nance of the State Government. With
the tax levy bill and the general budget
passed the Legislature could adjourn
without detriment to the public inter-
est. The Governor Sc far as known,
has expressed no views on this subject,
but his general declaration in favor of
retrenchment in the conduct of State
affairs leads his friends to the conclu-
sion that he would do everything with
in the scope of executive privilege to
avoid the necessity for an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.

Assemblyman Cobb's bill to provide for
the registration of master and journey
men horseshoers and board of examin-
erS to insure their competency, brought
Senator Cutter to his feet, for he had
found a bug. He wanted to amend the
bill by striking out that clause making
the act apply to counties of $4,000 inhabi-
He represented two of the counties
which were not up to the limit, he said,
and should the bill pass the effect would
be to drive all horseshoers who failed to
pass the board of examiners in the larger
counties to the smaller ones, where no
such disability would exist under the
bug Cutter thought the law should
be made general If it were passed at all.
Taylor declared that the bill would not
pass the Assembly again as amended, and
Senator Smith submitted two amend
ments, one of which made 1T impossible
to establish newspaper in any town un-
less by consent of the editor already run
ming papers there, and another of a
SIMILAR nature, both of which were barred
for levity. He said he wanted to get rid
of such legislation. The amendment fin
ally went through and the bill was passed
for third reading.
The bill introduced in the Assembly to

COUNTY CLERK JORDAN
MAY YET GET HELP
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Q02 Rroa dWav Fab O

908 Broadway, Feb. 9.
County Clerk Jordan was before the
Grand Jury to-day, testifying in regard
to the additional help needed in his Of
fee to get out the great register.
The Alameda delegation last night at
Sacramento, in caucus, declined to give
Mr.. Jordan any help, and the Grand Jury
will probably attempt to induce the dele
cation to reconsider its decision. Mr.. Jor-
dan to-day made the following statement
of the situation as viewed from his stand
point:
I appeared before the Alameda delegation in
Sacramento last night and asked for one regis
tration deputy and for the year 1900 $4,000 foI
extra help, making the cost of registration dur
ing the next four years $12 900. In the four
years prior to 1885, the first year of my first
term of office. the county paid about SIS 900. AS
every one knows in this county during my first
term through an accident of Legislation 1
compelled to do the work at an expense Of
several thousand dollars to myself. The allow
sufficient TO attend to such duties properly
Under the new registration law about $4,000
men will have to make duplicate affidavits, or
10000 aff1davits in all, How is this to
be done without extra help?
Can any reasonable man say that out Of my
salary of $4,000 ] have to pay for this? The
Situation is just this: The people of this
county and the city and county committees Of
the political parties should take warning and
act at once in order to prevent thousands Of
men from being disfranchlsed. I don't care
how the delegation provides for assistance. for
Yrovide they will have to, or else the voters Of
this county will remember it to their sorrow
THE allowance of extra assistance does not help
me cents worth. They can either give me
the patronage, as propose to throw the au-
thority upon the Board of Supervisors, only II
it goes there, as 1t rested before 1895, IL
will cost the county for the same period,
embraced in my proposition, $4,000 more.
think those members of the delegation who
voted against the proposition when they think
the matter will arrive at the conclusion
to consider the wishes Of the voters instead Of
vengeful politicians.
All the county officials have been sub
poenaed ITO appear before the Grand Jury
and enlighten that body regarding the
help required in their departments.
