protest against the passage of McMartin' $
Assembly bill 129 now before the Assembly

tiers of education it is retrogressive inasmuch
as the present medical law requires fair
knowledge of the fundamental principles of
medicine. surgery and obstetrics, while the
proposed law seeks to eliminate this require

exclude from practice the unlearned and in

OF medical colleges whose output would receive
certificates from State board to practice med =

source Of degradation to the medical profess

That the bill encourages the incorporation

numerical strength as opposed to bona hde

Committee Decides to Report Favor
ably Senator Caldwell's Bill.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 2S.--At a meeting Of the
Committee on Banking held Immediately
after the adjournment of the Senate this
morning, it was decided to report favor
ably on Senator Caldwells bill to repeal
the act creating a Board of Bank Com
missioners. Plunkett was the only alb
sent member. Senators Knowland,
Woodward, Hubbell and Hahn were in
favor OF the repeating act.
1t was decided to introduce a bill for
the creation of a new board, and that
task has been allotted to Knowland and
Hahn
Among the points of the proposed
measure discussed by the committee was
the compensation of the Commissioners.
1t is still undecided whether the mem
bers of the board should receive their
salaries by assessing the banks according
to their capital stock or their assets. AT
present they are assessed according to
their capital stock.
One of the salient points of the new
bill, which will be introduced within a
few days, is to have four members of
the board. At present there are only
three. When the act now in force was
adopted In 1873 there were comparatively
few banks. The banking business has
materially increased and n Is necessary
FOR the commission to have an additional
member. This will permit its members
going through the, State in pairs and as
sisting each other in checking up.
Another important feature will provide
for the ratification of the Governors ap-
pointments by the Senate

port. and If they did not do so quickly
the object Of the resolution would be la-
feated. He withdraw his first motion
and substituted a motion 20 have the
committee report in the matter on next
Monday. Leavitt also objected to this
but Devlin would not brook delay He
said he did not want 10 have his reslln-
ton smOthered IN committee. Upon a
vote being taken il was decided to have
the committee report Monday next
Many OF the members are opposed to
advising our Senators in Congress how
to vote in the matter Devlin wants
them TO vote against the ratification IF
the proposed treaty with Cuba. He
claims that it is Numerically opposed
to the interests Of this State
It is the intention Of the Republican
members of the Senate to decide in
caucus whether Devlins resolution shall
be adopted. Several members have
signed call for a caucus which may
be held Tomorrow night. The advan-
tage Of such a plan is that in caucus
the members will have an opportunity
TO say what they please without fear
of their speeches being made public and
those who are in favor of the resolution
viii be obliged to vote against it if a
majority of the caucus decides that IT
should not be adopted. The suggestion
that caucus be held was first made by
Senator Hahn, who takes the position
that national questions of such a char
acter are properly party measures and
should be considered in councils of the
party.
The following resolution, the preamble
Of which follows the language of the
last Republican national platform, was
presented to the Assembly by Carter Of
Los Angeles to-day and referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations:
Whereas There is now before. the Senate
OF the United States for ratification a treaty
with cuba providing for reciprocity in articles
comprising many OF the leading industries OF
California: and
Whereas. Such reciprocity arrangement with
cuba or any other foreign country is regarded
by the people of California being destructive
TO the interests of her beet sugar, raisn citrus
and dried fruit industries, in which large
amounts OF capital have been invested under
the assurance that the same would be safe
guarded by the protective tariff as other in
dustries have been protected and that ann
ciprocity so directed to open our markets
on favorable terms for what We do not our
selves produce IN return for foreign markets
is detrimental to the Industries of California
therefore be it
Resolved by the Assembly and Senate OF
the State Of California. jointly. That we re-
spectfully instruct Senators George c. Perkin,
and Thomas r. Bard representing the State
Of California in the United States Senate, tc
vote against said treaty
Resolved That a copy of these resolutions
be transmitted by the sergeant at arms by
telegraph 10 Senators George c. Perkins and
Thomas r. Bard at Washington. d. c.
