CODE REVISION ARDUOUS.
Will Make an Effort to
Accomplish Heavy Work.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 1S.-The Senate Committee
on Code Revision and the Assembly Com
mittee on Revision and Reform of Laws
have decided to meet jointly and with the
Code Commissioners proceed with the
Code of Civil Procedure. which will be
about all the work that they will be able
to do during this session.
The work of the Code Commission was
swept aside some time ago by a decision
of the Supreme Court on the ground that
each title should contain but one sub
ject. In order to obViate this difficulty
the committees named will take up each
subject in the Code of Civil Procedure,
beginning with the first, prepare it into
bill and present it without delay to the
Legislature for passage. The work of
revising and codifying the remain
irg codes will be left for succeeding Leg
islatures, the time of the present session
being barely sufficient in which to deal
with the Code of Civil Procedure.

ATTACHES TOO NUMEROUS.
Senator Emmons to Demand Explain
alton About Legion of Employees.
CATT uEAnOT- APTEPS SACRA-

CALL HEADQU ARIEKS, SAChA-
MENTO Jan. Ex-senator EmmOns of
Kern County will throw bombsheH into
the upper house tomorrow. He has pre-
pared a resolution requesting that COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
attaches of the Senate. 1t is understood
that there are now 179 attaches in the
Senate, and out Of that number many
have never reported to the proper officials
and have not even been seen. The reso-
luton will demand that committee re
port the best way to curtail the present
expenses in the Senate.
In discussing the matter tonight Sem
ator Emmons said that he is unalterably
opposed to the present extravaganza in
the attache fund In the Senate, and that
fifty attaches would be amply sufficient
to conduct the business of the Senate,
providing they were distributed properly.
1.-The supernumerary attaches" he said,
"who are simply here for the purpose of
drawing their pay must be cut off, or else
the persons and parties responsible for it
must answer to their constituents, as L
intend to come to the bottom of this mat
ter and find how many political debts are
paid and what service is rendered the
State inreturn for political debts unpaid

SAFEGUARDS FOR INVESTORS.
Effort to Be Made to Regulate
Building and Loan Concerns.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
EfENTO, Jan. 1s-People who have been
paying money for years into building and
loan associations and home-building CO.
operative associations will be particularly
interested in the bill introduced by AS
semblyman William II. Waste of Berke-
ley and referred to the Committee ON Ju-
dietary.
Waste said to-day that he had intro
duced the bill for the purpose of placing
more safeguards around investors and of
bringing certain unincorporated associa-
tions under the supervision of the Build
ing and Loan Commissioners, thereby
tending to weed out wildcat combinations
for the building of mythical homes on the
substantial gold of their unsuspecting
dupes.
These building and loan societies. said
Waste, ARE divided into locals and ma
tionals the nationals being wider in their
scope, and the locals freer in their meth
DDS, and partaking of the mutual feature.
These societies have grown very fast, but
there has always been some friction
among them. About six years ago large
number of amendWents were made to the
law, among others one requiring that the
name Mutual should be placed on all Of
them
to operate uniformly upon all these asso-
Citations, the California League of Mutual
Building and Loan Associations was or
ganized, with Frank Otis as president and
Frederick II. Clark as secretary. This
body is legislative in its character and is
open to all associations that may desire
to become members. Annual meetings
are held in San Francisco, at which these
and similar subjects are discussed. The
league prepared at the last session of the
Legislature a bill which was very strong
ly opposed by several associations. 1t
got safely through the house, but was
buried in the Senate. The present bill
was prepared by the president and secre-
tary of the league. A few changes in
the existing law proposed by the bill are
as follows:
Section GA has been amended so that shares
may be issued under direction of the board of
directors. At present associations Incorporated
prior to 1891 can issue shares in monthly Sc
ries, and many are doing. All should have
the right. Many are also using the Dayton
plan. That plan is under which the shares
issued in the monthly series be paid for
by each member on his own account The
definite contract plan came much later, and be-
cause Of the sharp competition OF the savings
banks which offered a lower rate of interest.
The maximum entrance fee is enlarged to 81

WAR ON THE ATTACHES.
Assemblpyman Mccartney Proposes
to Establish New System.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 1s.-With a view to giving
the voters OF the State an opportunity to
express their views on the question of pat
ronage at future sessions of the Legisla-
ture, and also enabling them to prevent
repetltions Of the scendalous scramble for
office which characterize every session,
Assemblyman Mccartney will tomorrow
Introduce proposed constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the people
at the next general election. The purpose
of the proposed amendment is to limit and
definitely fix the number Of attaches who
shall be employed to assist each house in
its work
Perhaps the most radical feature of the
proposition which Assemblyman McCart-
ney will submit is that it changes the
method of paying members of the Leglsla-
ture and also increases the legal limit of
the biennial sessions. Instead of allowing
each member IS per day for sixty days,
his plan is to make their salary the fixed
sum OF $1,000 for regular sessions, and
when they are called in extra session they
shall receive s400 for the services then
rendered. The duration of any one session
is proposed to be limited to 100 days in
stead of sixty days as at present.
1t is argued that with a fixed salary the
members will not find it profitable to re-
main in Sacramento longer than the 120
days proposed as the legal limit Of all reg
ular sessions. Extra sessions are to be
limited in length to not more than fifty
days. Instead of specifying a given
amount which shall be allowed to each
house for the employment of attaches, the
proposed amendment will specify just
what attaches shall be employed and what
salary shall be paid each of them.
The reason for making a proposed con-
stitutional amendment of this measure in
stead of introducing it as bill is that if
it became merely a statutory enactment
any Legislature wsuld be able to change
it. On the other hand, If 1t be approved
by the people and incorporated in the
State constitution future Legislatures
could neither amend nor disregard it, 1t
has been argued against the proposed
measure that it is not sufficiently elastic
to meet contingencies which may arise in
future, but its author declares that it is
better to have the measure ironclad than
to have a scandal over patronage at every
session.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY BILL.
Plan to Determine the Legal Status
of Various Trusts.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S.-A bill will be
introduced tomorrow which proposes a
means of ascertaining and determining
the status of the various trusts and
amendments to them affecting Stanford
University. Under it the trustees are en-
powered to commence the necessary pro-
ceedings to ascertain such status. Its
objects are stated by those having It in
charge to be as follows:
The passage of the bill providing for
the judicial ascertainment and determna-
ton of the legal effect of the trusts Great
ed under the provisions of the educational
bills of 1853 and 1887 is desired by Mrs
Stanford, but it is general in its applica-
biIity, and is therefore not confined in its
scope to the conditions existing or likely
to exist in the case of Stanford Univer-
sity.
1t provided, Of necessity, against all
possible contingencies to any institution
created under either of the acts. Accord
ingly inferences as to future plans for the
university cannot be safely drawn from
the wording of the act In the case OF
Stanford University the title to the prop
erty is secured under the provisions of the
constitutional amendment, but there are
still doubts as to the validity and legal
effect of certain clauses of the university
trusts and amendments which might en-
barrass the trustees when they succeed to
the management of the university All of
the amendments of the trusts are very de-
sirable and should be sustained if possl-
BILE. They include a change in the num-
Der Of trustees from twenty-fQur to fifteen
and Of their term of office from life TO ten
years. and a requirement that the univer-
sity should always keep in touch and har-
mony with the public school system, and
provides against possible future dictation
to the high schools by the university. The
