OPPOSES SHIPPING TAX.
Senator Savage Sees Chance to En-

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. Ex-senator Savage to-day
introduced an amendment to the consti-
tuition relative to the exemption Of ship
ping from taxation. He proposes that all
ships or shipping engaged in either for
e!gn or domestic navigation, or in the
fisheries, shall be exempt from taxation.
In discussing the measure Senator Saw
aGe said:
THE old law provides that all shipping
shall be taxed, the same as property. The
taxes collected from shipping under the
present law do not amount to a great deal
CT money, but are sufficient to retard the
building of vessels. BY removing this
tax from shipping 1t will have a tendency
to build up the merchant marine on this
coast The constitutional amendment L
offer is introduced at the request of the
ship owners of this coast. 1t does not in
terfere in the collecting Of licenses. In
Los Angeles County we have no power to
tax ships that come from domestic ports
as they are taxed where they hail from.
San Francisco, Tacoma and other places
get the benefit of the tax, which should
be paid to Los Angeles County.

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant al
lunch or dinner time the large number OF
Hearty, vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from GO to 50 years
many OF them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none Of them feeble or senile2

fellows are eating you viii observe that

EluEcrlE picking their way through a
menu card of new-fangled health foods;
on the contrary they seem to prefer a

ol mutton and even the deadly brOiled
lobster Is not altogether ignored.
ne point Of all this is that a vigorous
oid age depends upon good digestion and
plenty Of wholesome food, and not upon
dieting and an endeavor TO live upon
bran crackers.
There is certain class Of food cranks

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 20.-The Judiciary Commit
tee of the Assembly held its first business
sesson to-day and recommended two bills
for passage An important matter before
the committee was McCartney's divorce
bill. The author appeared and said he
wished to make an addition to 1t. This
proved to be of a novel nature. 1t is to
the effect that In the case where a Judge
deems the evidence warrants divorce he
shall issue an interlocutory decree, but
shall not issue final decree until year
has elapsed. This will prevent Reno mar
riages.a
Assembly bills 157. relating to testa-
mentary guardians, and 40, simplifying the
method of attaching growing crops, were
reported favorably. Assembly bill 81,
eliminating juries in certain cases in Jus
tees courts, was unfavorably reported
The committee fixed next Saturday as the
time for hearing the club ladies of San
Francisco and Oakland relative to the es-
tablishment of court for juveniles.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. Glowing to a mistake
made during the last days of the Gage
administration by one Of his secretaries
il will not be necessary for the Senate TO
consider three Of his appointments for
positions as Trustees Of State Normal
Schools In one Of his latest messages
Gage nominated John S. Collins of Ven
tura II. c. Brown Of Santa Clara and
F. W. Marston of San Francisco as Trus-
tees of the State Normal School at Chico.
At least that was the way the names
were sent to the Sebate, and that body
can consider only its official notification
Of such nominations.
It seems from the records in the office
Of the Governor that that is not what
Gage intended. What he desired 10 do
was to nominate Collins Trustee Of the
Los Angeles State Normal School and
Brown and Marston Trustees of the cor
responding institution at San Jose. The
register in the Governors Office shows
that such appointments were made. but
the Senate has no such official informa-
ton. If the Senate confirms the appoint
ments as sent 10 It it will give the. Chico
Normal School larger quota of Trustees
than IS provided by law, and Of course
that cannot be done.
The nominations will therefore be with
drawn and. although it cannot be stated
that Governor Pardee will not renomi-
nate some Of the three. il is reasonably
certain that Collins name will not be sent
TO the Senate again. He is a brother of
the well known Oakland banker. and it
has been charged against him that he
strongly opposed Pardee. in Ventura
County. That he was a Cargo partisan
IS not TO be disputed. and II is supposed
that his reward from the retiring Gov
ernor was the appointment to the empty
honor Of a trusteeship Of the Los An
geles State Normal School. BY some slip
Of the pen, however, one OF Cages secre-
taries spoiled the plan. and Collins may
not serve on any State Normal School

Freedom In Small communities.
CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2O.-Township government
as contemplated by the constitution of
California. but TO establish which a gen
eral law has never been passed by the
Legislature, is something that Assembly
man Brown Of San Mateo wishes to see
in operation. He has introduced a bill
under which any township of any county
in the State may conduct its own affairs.
He said to-day:
the various counties govern themselves
and there is no reason why the people OF town
ships should not be self-governing. Every
state i'm the East has q township governm. mt
Law and these communities find 1t great ben
eft 70 organize under It's provisions. Al pres
ent the affairs OF townships are In the hanIs
of Supervisors, who may be far removed from
them. and who cannot be familiar with their
needs 'Thev have at best but one Silnarv,sor
to represent them. Under the bill 1 have in
trodpced the people Of township. without
paying any more taxes, organize elect
their own Trustees. Justice Of the Peace and
ether officers. The only one of these officers
draw 4 salary being a clerk. who shall receive
services shall be made by fees. The township
can take care of It's own roads and schools
The bill also provides for annual assem-
matters pertaining 10 its welfare shall be dis
cussed and IN the discussion OF which all may
take part.
In my opinion this method OF government
would work a vast Improvement in every town
ship adopting IL and lead to greater Internal
improvements and better OF these improve
ments existing The bill Will not In any way
conflict with the county government act There
will be a sort OF dual government and each
township will be organized into a quasi corpo-
ration.
The bill provides that each Trustee
shall be ex-officio Roadmaster and Dep
uty Assessor in the road district he rep
resents. and that he shall receive 50 80 per
diem, payable by the county, while ac-
lively engaged as such Deputy Assessor.

MINNICK RESTING EASILY.
Details as to How He was Found May Not
Recover.

James Minnick is conscious and
sleeping nicely and DIR. Haines says
he is liable to live two or three days
yet, but does not say anything as to
his final recovery. The story as told
at first was not true about his having
been found near the Three Mile House.
He was found within three quarters
of mile from South Amboy by Phil
Stoddard, and must have been lying
there since O'Clock Wednesday.
At that time men who were at work
nearby cutting railroad ties, heard
two shots. They sounded like an old
musket being firedioff and bid not seem
like pistol shots. They supposed
someone was ginning in the neighbor-
hood. Thinking they might fire in
their direction the men whistled but
did not receive any reply nor hear
any more shots.
The following day a party came to
the men and asked if they had seen
anything of Minnick, saying they
were looking for him. The reply was
"No." After the party had left them
they thought about the shots they had
heard the day previous and started
in that direction and Stoddard, being
first, found Minnick lying in an old
clay hole. Harry Davis, who was just
behind Stoddard, walked up to Min
nick and Minnick said: Halo Harry,
how are your" So he was conscious
when found. Minnick said to Davis
he did not know who shot him.
