REVISION OF THE CODES.

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 1.-THE necessity of revis-
ing the codes section by section will lead
to the introduction of constitutional
amendment at this session empowering
the Governor to call the Legislature to
gether annually for the purpose of pass
ing such enactments as are made impera-
tive by existing conditions.
At the present time an Assemblyman is
elected for a session, and when he re-
turns home at the end of sixty seventy
days he is no longer of service to the
State unless summoned to attend an ex-
ira session. 1t is well-known fact that
if the codes are to be adopted in the
manner indicated by the recent decision
of the State Supreme Court all other leg
islation will be blocked and it would be
incumbent upon the Governor to call an
extra session. This would of necessity be
a heavy burden upon the taxpayers. The
plan is to give the Governor power to call
the Legislature into session each year if
then receive annual salary and could
remain in session until they had finished
the business before them.
O @
fice should be filled by a Democrat, as a
member of that party had been elected to
to the position.
Judge Bennett has been Superior Judge
of Ell Dorado County for the past six
years. He is very highly thought of by
the community In which he lives, and
although defeated for reelection Repub-
Hcans and Democrats Joined in asking
Governor Pardee to appoint him. Judge
Bennett has resided at Placerville for the
past twenty years.

Briefly stated the plan which Senator
Hahn proposes is to establish appellate
courts, one in San Francisco, one in Los
Angeles and one in Sacramento. These

certain sections of the State known as ap-
pellate districts. The courts are to pass
upon the cases which may be appealed
from the Superior Courts of the various
counties in their respective districts
/ There will, of course. be the right of ap-
peal from these courts to the Supreme
Court, but such appeals would be taken
only in very important cases.
The bill will also provide for the reduc-
ton Of the Supreme Court to tribunal

LUKENs FOR JUDICIARY.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. u.-Senator G. r. Lukens
of Alameda will be chairman Of the Ju-
dietary Committee in the upper house.
His selection for this important position
is due to the fact that he has the Gov
ernor's confidence, coming as he does from
the chief executives home town and from
the further fact that he is familiar with
law and legislation.
All the holdover Senator'S are willing to
forego the honor in view of the fact he
is Governor Pardee's representative in
the Senate. Great Importance attaches
to the committees decision this session

- who viii head the committees of
the two houses when they are
announced on Tuesday and. while the
committees have practically been made
up the fight to control the more important
ones has not yet ceased. The leaders in
each branch of the Legislature are anx-
ious TO have charge of the important
work of the session, and the only way to
accomplish their ambition is to get charge
OF the big committees. The fight is in
progress even on the eve of the great so
cial function Of the administration.
The big fight, which appears to be still
open, IS that for chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Senate In this raee
there are four entries-Devlin of Sacra-
mento, Leavitt Of Alameda, Belshaw of
Contra Costa and Rowell of Fresno. The
knowing ones are picking Devlin as the
man who VIII have charge Of all OF the
appropriations of the session.
The Alameda contingent says that
Leavitt has won out by gaining the ap-
proyal Of the Governor by his master
ful work in holding up the Gage ap-
pointments. Belshaw would like to head
that committee. but as he is president of
the miners association of the state
and il is customary to have the highest
official Of that organization who happens
to be in the Senate at the head OF the
Mining Committee. it seems likely that
Belshaw will handle the mineral bills of
the session. Rowen of Fresno seems to

JUDGEsHIP FOR BENNETT.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. u.-Governor Pardee has
decided to appoint Judge M. P. Bennett
to fill the vacancy in the Superior Judge
ship of Ell Dorado County. This announce
ment was made this evening by Private
Secretary A. B. Nye.
The vacancy was caused by the death
of Judge-elect Prentiss Carpenter. The
latter defeated Judge Bennett at the last
election by seventy-five votes. Before
taking Office Judge Carpenter passed
away. His father. G.. j. Carpenter. editor
and owner of the Placerville Democrat,

CALL HEADQUARTERS
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1I.-There
is sadness depicted in the faces
of the attaches who were IN
fortunate enough to have their
names held out until the late
lists of appointments were
prepared. The resolutions that
the Senate and the Assembly
have adopted making easy but
lucrative positions for the
crowd have all read that such
appoin tments were TO date from
January 5. and in their passage
not one dissenting voice has
been heard.
When Speaker Fisk of the
Assembly declared that the at
taches whose names graced
the many lists must report at
once to the sergeant-at-arms,
under penalty Of losing the
Stase Treasurer, more than one
member was there with ready
excuse and a faint offer to
waive few days pay at least
till their appointees could reach
Sacramento. To-day the story
spread that Controller Colgan
had announced his intention of
cutting down the warrants CT
those who were appointed dur
ing the latter part of the week
and allow the demands only for
actual working days.
When the news reached the
street the quietude that marked
the first Sabbath OF the Legis-
lature was quickly changed to
hustle and activity. Members
were sought thas they might go
to the Capitol and if possible
have the Controller change
what they termed e far-reach-
ing and unfair order. Lew1nak-
ers were scarce and little could
be done In the interests Of the
employees. There remains
nothing for them to do but to
await the coming Of salary de-
mands and abide by the decis-

Is to keep faithful tab on the

sMITH AND ANDERSON.

Senator Fred II. Smith and Lieutenant
Governor Alden Anderson had some
words to-day over the ambition Of the
man from the sunny south to head the
Committee on Corporations. Smith claims
that he was originally slated for the head
of that very important committee, but
that recent developments have >relegated
him TO the background in favor of some
one else
The Lieutenant Governor asserted that
no lists had been made up, and that
Smiths assumption that he had either
been slated for the place or turned down
was unwarranted- Whether Smith was
ever promised the committee he seems in
"a fair way to miss his ambition. 1t is a
settled fact that Senator Lukens Of Ala
media will have the judiciary.
In the lower house there are twice as
many candidates, because there are twice
as many members, and so the contest
doubles in intensity. Dunlap of San Joa-
quin will head the Ways and Means Com
mitttee of the lower house, which is the
equivalent Of the Finance Committee Of
the Senate This is agreeable to Governor
Pardee. who is anxious to have harmony
in both houses. Grove L. Johnson was at
the head of the Judiciary Committee two
years ago and the impression prevails that,
he will hold that place for another ses-
sion.
head of the Committee on State Prisons
and Reformatory Institutions would go

which San Quentin Prison is located. If
this be true il will fall to S. H. Olmsted

date for either the head Of the Committee
Municipal Corporations or County and
Township Governments. 1t is believed
that he will get one or the other. A

success. 1t is by finding out our weak
points and putting those right. If we
are to learn anything from the Ameri-
cans it is that if success is to be at
tanned in business, conservative ways
must be abandoned. The British man
ufacturer has to learn that what has
been good for twenty years will not
necessarily be good for the next twenty.
There is a word-a word which I have
frequently used in these pages, repre-
senting a quality of which the Briton
is not largely possessed, but with which
the American is saturated-the word
adaptiveness. And when the people of
Great Britain realize what that word
stands for, there will be less talk about
the loss of trade, less grumbling about
the increased cost of production, and
great deal more progress"

THE INTERESTS OF THE NATIVE,

There was a strong point made by
Mr.. Beckley in his recent speech when
he said that Republican officials, when
in need of money for the legitimate
expenses of the government, can al
ways get an advance from the banks
and merchants, but that Home Rule
officials, though their need be equally
urgent, would appeal in vain. Finan-
cial men, here as elsewhere, only help
the men they can trust.
This is a consideration which the
native laborer should keep in mind.
When long waits come in the work
of road and bridge building and re-
pairs he is the one who suffers most
by it. 1t is to his interest to have
public work go on and its wages reg
ularly paid; but he cannot make sure
of this means of support if he votes
for irresponsible men like those who
head the Home Rule county ticket.
In brief Republican success means
that employment for manual laborers
will be steady and its pay secure,
while Home Rule success would mean
just the reverse.

ROSENBERG HEARD FROM.

Mr.. Rosenberg has informed the
large aggregation of Slavs, Poles,
Huns. Italians, and other Europeans
who have collected under the name
of the American Federation of Labor,
that the policy of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent is to check all immigration
except that of japanese and Koreans.
Before Mr.. Rosenberg left here an
immigration agent, drawing govern
ment pay, was at work upon plans to
get white Europeans and Americans
to labor in the cane fields of Hawaii
During the past twenty years Ameri-
cans, Portuguese, Italians, Germans,
Galicians, Porto Ricans, South Sea
islanders and negroes have been in
dustriously sought and some of them
secured. More are wanted if they
will come to labor in the fields; but the
trouble in the past has been that they
preferred other forms of employment
in the lurch. The Americans baked
at "coolie work." the Portuguese are
small farmers and took up land Of
their own; the Germans did likewise;
the Galicians, inspired by labor dema-
gogues, jumped their plantation jobs
and sought employment in town; the
negroes were failures and many have
turned out to be criminals; of the
Porto Ricans, the majority are now
in the fields but are less satisfactory
laborers than the japanese. Further
experiments are being made with white
men in the hope that the right sort
may be found; but if not, the planta-
tions must turn to Asiatics as a mat
ter, not of race preference but of self
preservation. AS for the government
it prefers to fill the country up with
American citizens and we can assure
the Federation of Labor that, if it
has any Americans in it's ranks and
they want steady work the year
around, they can find it in Hawaii
with the appreciation of the Govern
ment

Premiers and Their Clothes.

The late Lord Salisbury shared with
Mr.. Gladstone a disregard for clothes,
and several times his attire was re-
ferred to with regret by sartorial wri-
tiers. So long as his coat hung fairly
well from the shoulders the deceased
premier cared little, but he never went
the length of Mr.. Gladstone, whose
clothes were often so shabby that only
an eminent person would wear them.
Lord Salisbury's hats were enormous
affairs, quite equaling Mr.. Gladstone's
in size, and much more respectable;
indeed. Mr.. Gladstones headgear was
generally in the shocking bad hat"
category. While in attendance in the
Commons Mr.. Gladstone dressed fair
ly well, but outside the house he paid
little attention to his garments. The
successors in Office of the great de-
parted are, on the other hand, careful
dressers, especially Lord Rosebery,
who designed a collar for himself with
the turnover peaks rounded for great
err comfort and durability. Mr.. Bal
tours appearance is usually very
smart on social occasions, although he
seemingly does not endeavor to attain
the well groomed condition of Mr..
Chamberlain.

county situation combined. 1t did not

sumption of revenue and expenditure

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Electric Metronome.

In the study Of music the metronome
has come to be a very important ele-
ment, not only in determining the
tempo that a certain composition shall
be played at, but in aiding the student
in technical exercises to maintain a
precision of rhythm in any tempo from
a largo to a presto. There is. how
ever, a disadvantage in the present
marketable types of instrument that
consists in the necessity of somewhat
frequent interruption of the musician
in his practice to wind up the barrel
spring of the device. This Interrupt
ton frequently occurs in the middle
of some important passage and is very
aggravating to the student.
In the present invention this is over
come by the employment of an cleo
trio device, driven by battery. A
small motor is added to the percus-
sion mechanism of the metronome in
such a way that when the barrel has
made but one revolution the motor is
automatically started and made to
wind up the handspring.
This has a double advantage-the
first being that the musician is pro-
vided with a metronome that will con-
tinue to run without attention as long
as the battery lasts, which, if several
cells of dry battery are employed, will
be in the neighborhood of a year. The
second advantage, which is also one
Of considerable moment, is, that by
reason of the barrel being allowed but
one revolution before the handspring
is recoiled, the force for operating will
be absolutely constant and the beat Of
the pendulum will not be marked by
any perceptible Observation-Disclosures
