The Vindication of the Public Printer

tAuGusta Correspondent OF the Bansor
Commercially
III the entire truth be told there was
no great surprise for the members oe
the Legislature and The general public
IN the report of the committee on print
ing on the matter of the State print
ing. Some months ago sensation was
expected with the reoOrt of this COM
mIttee bat the air Of expectancy has
gradually died away and the reno-,
was awaited without much interest save
perhaps, by the interested parties
Looking back over the printing sem
sation." as it has been termed. one
wonders how any feeling of excitement
could have been stirred up and it is
pretty safe to say that if the first few
weeks Of the Legislature had develop-
ed any matters of especial excitement
the printing matter would have been
lost 20 sight long before it was. Bur
the first Of the session was rather dull
and there seemed little but the print
ing investigation which COnseuIentlv
received much more than it's lust due
in the line of nOtoriety with the natura,
sequence that the public. glancing at
the headlines only, began to wonder
" He'l tii'it NdS III tn.S matter of tina
printing that made all investigation
necessary. 1t is perhaps but fair to call
attention at this point to the fact that
there was no public call for an nvesti
CATION but that the request for the
same came from the State printer HIM
self because nf some of the intimations
which had been made.
The investigation Went slowly on it's
way. The members Of the committee
"aded through a mass of detail and
nave now brought forth their verdict
which is unanimous one and which.
so far as the writer has heard, is uni
versaily commended az an able and i'm
partial report. There has been no at
tempt in this report to whitewash the
matter as had been predicted by some.
and the testimony very clearly estab-,

was necessary for nothing whatever
was adduced which in the slightest de-

20 PER CENT OF NAMES
ON PETITION THROWN OUT
Anti-SaIoon League Vet Has Sufficient
Number to Call an
Election

City Clerk Lelandes office force is
pushing the work of checking the
names on the anti-saloon petition
against the great register with night
and day shifts of men. During the
day eight men work on the books and
at night four.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon 1858
names had been checked, of which 521
had been thrown out, leaving 2137 as
correct. With the petition half checked
the percentage of names dropped is
less than 20 per cent.
Owing to the fact that the anti
saloon league secured $500 signers this
percentage of loss still gives the requi-
site number of voters, and in fact the
league would have sufficient number
should the percentage of names
dropped reach 25 per cent.
The law provides that to call an in
itiative election petition must be filed
with the city clerk signed by 10 per
cent of the voters who cast their bal
lots in the preceding city election for
all candidates for mayor, and that the
verihcation shall be by the great
register.
The total vote for mayor in the city
election last December was 27,2S2, thus
10 per cent of this number, or 4O93 cor
rect names on the petition fill the re-
quirements of the statute.

POMONA GAS COLLECTOR
Is DENIED APPEAL
Judge Smith Decides That Paul j,
Dennineer Has No Recourse to
u. s. Supreme Court


Judge Smith in the superior court
yesterday put quetus on the persist
ent efforts to Paul j. Denninger the
Pomona gas collector, Ito secure vim
dication from the judgment imposed
upon him by the inferior court at Po-
mona.
The decision handed down by Judge
Smith Is based upon Denningers appli-
cation for a writ of error to the SUI
preme court of the United States from
the judgment rendered in the superior
court on an appeal from the record
ers court of Pomona.
The petitioner was prosecuted in the
recorders court for the violation of an
ordinance which made it a misde-
meanor to charge more than a certain
amount for gas furnished to the in
habitants of Pomona.
There were three cases brought
against Denninger, and in each instance
judgment was rendered against him.
whereupon he took an appeal to the
supreme court of California.
The supreme court affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court, and Judge
Smith yesterday denied Denninger's
application for writ of error to the
supreme court of the United States.

LONG BEACH CENSUS
MEN HAVE TROUBLE
Many Permanent Arrivals, Fearing
Tax, Declare They Are
Visitors


Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April 1S.--The school
census enumerators are having their
troubles here. This Is the time of the
year that sees the largest exodus of
winter visitors, and the enumerators
find 1t hard. to discriminate between
residents and tourists. Many people
who intend remaining here tell the
census men that they are tourists, "go-
ing away in few days" Subterfuge
Is resorted to because there are people
here from states which impose school
tax per capita on the children in each
family and they think the same law
exists In California.
The Seaside Water company has Of
fered to pave the approach from Pine
avenue to the beach at it's own ex-
pense. The work will cost about $4,000.
The public works committee of the city
trustees will take up the matter with

be mad, yet they are buying with the
strangest economy ever witnessed at
an auction sale, Every buyer feels
assured that the class of goods is the

they do, it's not to be wondered at
that the people are so anxious to get
the goods. Today furniture will again
be sold and tomorrow carpets and
