that with necessary appropriations.
outside of regular expenses, it will
reach $1.60 or $1.065. There are extra
ordinary conditions that must be met
this year, 1t is claimed by some of the
legislators that will preclude a very
low rate While it is agreed that the
Governor will do his best to keep down
the rate, that his administration may
be. known as one of wisdom and econ
omy, 1t is said that he must face the
issue and that when the needs of the
State become generally known there
Will be none to complain against the
raise.
1t is pointed out that the preliminary
work of reclaiming the inundated lands
of the Sacramento and San JOAQUIN ba-
sins VIII cost much money before
means can be devised to make the re-
claimed lands pay for their own SAL
yation; that San Quentin prison must
be practically rebuilt; that Folsom
prison must be walled; that at least
two of the State Normal Schools must
be rebuilt; that additions must be
made to the hospitals for the insane,
all of them being overcrowded; that
the Capitol building must be repaired
at much expense and that much public
work must be cared for by increased
appropriation.
The preliminary step in the proposed
reorganization of the States taxation
system was taken w tonight at q
conference of the Legislative Commit
tee of the Senate and Assembly with
Governor Pardee. There was a full
attendance of the committees and af-
ter lengthy discussion it was decided
to appoint subcommittee of seven
including the chairman Of the Revenue
and Taxation Committees whose duty
it shall be TO draw up proposed cor
stitutional amendment embodying the
proposed changes.
Governor Pardee. who made the prin-
cipal address of the evening. urged "a
complete revision of the tax law and
suggested the substitution of partial
indirect tax which would permit the
cutting down of the State property tax
one half.

Will MEASURE
MOUNT WHITNEY
Survey to Secure Accurate
Figures ON Highest and
Lowest Points in Country
A NOVEL UNDERTAKING
From the Peak Party Will
Go to Death Valley, Where
Is the Greatest Depression
A NOVEL UNDERTAKING

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.-R. A.
Farmer. of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, left this city last evening
upon mission that may establish, in ac-
ccrdance with scientific requirements,
the exact height of Mount Whitney
and also the lowest point in the United
states. From geographical stand
point the proposed investigation is
important for the additional reason
that Mount Whitney is considered the
highest peak within the boundaries of
the country
According to mercurial tests, which
are deemed by Government employees
unsatisfactory and liable to error,
Mount Whitney is anywhere from
1S,5O3 to 1850 feet in height. Farmer,
who is to take charge of corps OF
Government employees at Mojave and
who will direct the running of a line
of level to Owens Lake, across the
Mojave desert, hopes to use the ac-
quired information as a basis for a
calculation mathematically and scien-
tifically correct.
The same investigation will show
the greatest natural depression in the
earth's crust. The surface of Death
Valley. popularity supposed to be the
lowest in the country. has been esti-
mated at from one to five hundred feet
below the level of the sea.
1t is proposed by another survey to
run a precise level from Merced into
the Yosemite Valley via Merced Falls
and Coulterville, branching off at
Kingsley Postoffice and following the
path proposed by the Yosemite VAL
ley commission as a practical railroad
route into the valley

Claim Is Made That
Extra Session Is
Needed.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Cali.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17-Talk of an
extra session of the Legislature to
pass the code revision bills is being
INDUCED in by some of the statesmen
here. The claim is made that there will
not be time at the present session to
attend to these bills. Already the State
has expended between 100000 and $780,
900 in trying to have them adopted The
Supreme Court held that the action of
the Legislature of four years ago in
adopting them as a whole was illegal,
and that action was nuIlified Two
years ago their adoption singly was
prevented by the Judiciary Committee,
of which Grove L. Johnson was chair
man, and constitutional amendment
adopted at that session giving the
Legislature power to adopt them as a
whole was defeated by the people.
There is nothing for the present Leg
islature to do If 1t wishes the tangle
cleared UP. the dead matter eliminated
and the live bills got together in handy
form but to deal with each of them
that has been changed even by the in
sertion of a comma, separately, and
pass 1t in the same way an original bill
is passed. There are about $50 of the
bills in which some slight changes,
some very trif1ing, have been made by
Code Commissioner Davis, who is at
work daily on the revision. Half of
them will be introduced in the Senate
and half in the House. About forty
of them have been introduced to date.
Opponents of an extra session claim
that all the bills can be disposed of at
three evening sessions.

REDDING, Jan. H.-when DR.. c. w.
Bryan Of this city examined the ear
Of Joseph Bucher, a well-known busi-
ness man of Keswisk, he whistled with
surprise, and with reason. He found
imbedded therein a grain of wheat and,
strange to relate. the wheat was
sprouting.
Carefully removing the obstruction
the doctor gave the Bucher ear
thorough cleaning and told the Kes-
wick man that in the future his hear
Ing would be perfect. Several days
later Bucher against visited the doc
tor and complained that his aural ap-
pendage was still far from perfect. The
doctor made second examination and
again he whistled, this time much
longer and louder than when he dis
/ covered the sprouting wheat.
The second search revealed a pebble
three -eighths of an inch long and one
eighth of an inch wide. According to
Bucher's best recollections the pebble
had been in his ear about twelve years
The grain of wheat. the doctor says,
must have been in the ear about a
twelvemonth.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1.-THE fight
against Lukens' bill to appropriate
s250,000 for the construction of an agri-
cultural building for the College of
Agriculture at Berkeley began this
afternoon in the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Dairying and 1t looks
now as though the measure would be
defeated. The committee, which is
composed of Lynch, Rush, Muenter,
Greenwell, Rambo, Mckee and Diggs,
stands in favor of Diggs' bill, appro-
priating s250.000 for the purchase of
an agricultural farm of not less than
500 acres and is advancing on the
theory that it would be strange reason
ing that would put the college build
ing one place and have the farm in
another.
After considerable discussion the
committee agreed to report favorably
on the Diggs bill and ask that it pass,
leaving the question of the building for
further consideration. 1t is the sense
OF the committee that the entire coll
lege of agriculture. building and all,
should be transferred to the site of the
farm it recommends should be pur-
chased. 1t points to the fact that 9TH
er branches of the university are do
ing splendid work far removed from
Berkeley and holds that none requires
such removal from metropolitan sur
roundings more than the college of
agriculture A warm debate on the
focr is anticipated when the recon-
mendations of the committee are read
to the Senate in general session.
Southern California has a scheme
afoot to get the $50,000 it wants for an
experimental station by cutting in on
the oposedsappropriation for an agri-
cultural college or standing out against
that appropriation unless it is allowed
the sum II desires.

RAILROAD is BUSY.
Lobbyists Working for Bill Once We
toed by Governor.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.-Jere Burke
and Walter Parker, political agents of
the Southern Pacific, are again busy in
Sacramento. Their time was we'll oc-
cupied to-day in the Senate and As
sembIy lobbying on behalf of bill pre-
sented by Senator Pendleton, which the
existing railroads of California are anx-
ious to have passed. the same measure
having been killed by the Governors s
amend section 1910 of the Code of Civil
Procedure. the amendment being in
cluded in the following paragraph:
All railroad crossings. when physically prac-
ticable. shall be made either under or over
cross. and IL crossing in any case shall be
physically impracticable then the proposed
level or grade crossing shall be protected by
matte switch and signal service. with derailing
switches to be installed and thereafter to be
maintained at the expense o, the owners OF the
railroad desiring to make such crossing.
Now here Is the point of the bill, as
mapped out by members of the Senate
that purpose vigorously opposing it.:
The existing railroads of California
have a pretty thorough understanding
among themselves as to policies of conf
petition and rates. but no one can tell
Just what the next road to get foot
hold may do. So it Is just as well that
the future hold visions of the tremen-
dous expense for the corporations yet
to come. And again the Southern Pa
cific and other roads were here first
and hence desire that they should not
be compelled to share the expense of
overhead and underground crossings in
the event such provision is made in any
future franchises to be granted
1t is pointed out that the proponents
of the measure can hardly ask for it's
passage on the ground of safety. for 1t
makes no provision for the correction
of the present fiat crossings that check
the State from end to end.

posed 1t on the ground that II would

suggested that the Committee on Pub

Francisco to investigate on their own
account the questions relating to the
morality of the sport. Bauer saw that
he was again hopelessly outnumbered.
so he moved for the indefinite post

FIGHT OVER JUDGES.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.-The Los
Angeles bill by which three new
Superior Court Judges are to be added
to the bench of that county will not
have the easy sailing in the Assembly
that 1t had in the Senate. The San
Francisco delegation thinks that in
view of the fact that San Francisco
pays one-quarter of the taxes of the
entire State, its bill to increase the
salaries of the Superior Judges of San
Francisco County should become a
law and 1t will ask the Los Angeles
delegation to stand for that law in re-
turn for aid for its measure.
If the Los Angeles bench is increased
to nine members, that county will re-
ceive 27,000 a year for its judges,
while San Francisco will, under the
present law, get but $4,000, the State
paying half the salaries of Superior
Judges. The San Francisco delegation
does not think the proportion will be
fair. ssA
