Senate bill. identical with that of
Coghlan in the lower house. prohibit
ing the use of trading stamps. Cogh-
Ian in explaining the measure to the
Assembly said: "Commercialism is at
once the blessing and bane of the
age. We have mighty ships bringine
to our shores the wealth of the Orient
and railroads carrying across the des-
Nerts the goods of the East, and pros
perity is with us. But out of this great
prosperity we see springing up a class
of men who do not work. but prey
upon the credulity of the public. 1t
is at them this bill is aimed. From
the retail tradesmen of San Francisco
alone $4S0,000 is taken every year by
this illegitimate scheme
Treadwell said the bill should have
been referred to the Judiciary COM
mittee for final inspection, as in other
States legislation against trading
stamps had proven abortive because
the bills drafted were not constitu.
tional. Coghlan said the authors of
the one before the Assembly were
satisfied that it would stick in all
courts.

render decision, the court announced
that it would decide the matter next

STATE EXPENSES HEAVY.
Ways and Means Committee Makes
Report on Appropriation Bills.

Ways and Means Committee Makes
Report on Appropriation Bills.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20.-After
several weeks work the Ways and
Means Committee presented the gen.
eral appropriation bill to the Assem-
bly, just before adjournment late this
afternoon. The measure was ordered
printed in the journal at the request
of Chairman Stanton of the commit
tee and was made a special order for
next Thursday night. The total
amount of the bill is, in round num-
bers, S7,500,000, exceeding the Con-
troller's estimate by nearly S500,000.
Particularly noticeable in the bill
is the large appropriation that has
been made for the maintenance of
San Quentin penitentiary. The
amount set aside for running expenses
for this institution is s396,352, as
against $4,000 given for support two
years ago. and $207,92O as against
s12O.0O0 for salaries two years ago.
The reason given for the increase is
that instead of allowing the Prison
Board to handle the funds accruing
from the sale Of jute bags the sums
will be turned over to the State treas
ury.
The University of California is Civ
en- 100000, its full share, which is
in excess OF the constitutional tax levy
of cents.
An entirely new item appropriates
$12,00 for the support and salaries of
officials and employees of the proposed
State Hospital for Insane Convicts.
The item of the States portion of
the salaries of Superior Court Judges
was set at $350,000. an increase of
$2O,500 over the budget of two years
ago.

ACCUSED DESERTED.
There was a scurrying this after
noon on the part of the disgraced SEN
ators TO rake up sufficient force to
prevent them from being expelled when
the vote on the committee TeDOIl -
called next Thursday, but they were
not successful. From now on till the
final day they will use every influence
they possess to gain votes, only ten
besides their own being necessary to
save them. It requires a two-thirds
vote to eXpel a member of the Senate.
A careful canvass was made this
afternoon by legislators that know
pretty well the temper of the lower
house, and they say the boodlers will
be able to secure only five votes out
side of their own if, indeed, these five
do not lose their nerve at the last mo-
ment and decide not to run the risk of
going to their political graves with the
accused. There is no question, how
ever, but that the vote will be pre-
ceded by a warm debate, but many
members of the upper house have been
known to talk. one way and vote
another when they saw the odds were
against them. 1t is the general opin-
ion that this system will prevail when
Thursday comes and that some of
those that enter most actively into the
debate on behalf of the boodlers will
give way when they see the avalanche
approaching and vote with the major
ity to expel the men that have dishon-
ored themselves and cast a reflection
upon the entire Senate.
