The San Francisco call., 1906-06-11

SACRAMENTO, June 10.-In the late
sessions Of the Assembly and Senate
Saturday night there were several ex-
hlbitions Of wounded feelings. One
fsncied from the frenzied eloquence OF
Charles Belshaw and Frank Leavitt
that the exalted Senate of California
had had its dignities trampled upon
that the lower house OF the Legisla-
ture had assumed a threatening and de-
fant attitude through its representa-
tive on the conference committee. After
the explosion Of wrath in the Senate
Senator Ward of San Diego made a
speech, reminding his fellow Senators
OF their responsibilities and obligations
10 the people Of California in this
emergency. Senators Wolfe and An
derson spoke in similar manner The
result Of the intelligent and timely re-
marks was the adoption Of the con-
ference committees report.
As red hot campaign in State poll
tics is coming on there viii be ample
opportunity for indignant Senators TO
meet outside Of the Senate chamber and
eat fire. Later on. when the business
OF san Francisco is restored, when the
homeless are sheltered and the insur-
ance money is paid. the dignity of the
Senate may be tenderly cared for
There were displays OF frenzy in the
Assembly. Philip A Stanton refused 10
take Speaker Atkinsons programme TO
proIong the session until Tuesday and
therefore was denied Of his right TO
represent the Assembly on the confer
'ence committee This. taken in con-
uection with other raw rulings from
the presiding officer of the lower house
excited the Indignation of several
members and prompted the introduc-
tion Of a resolution TO dethrone Atkin-
son from the Speakership. Hope is ex-
pressed that parliamentary cOurtesies
may be preserved in the future so that
. San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Rosa
may obtain the relief which the extra
session was called TO afford
ASPECT Il CHANGING.
The attitude of the Sacramento dele
cation in the Assembly toward meas
ures~ proposed for the restoration Of
san Francisco cannot be accounted for
on reasonable grounds. The people Of
Sacramento entertain the kindliest feel
ing and the warmest sympathy for the
metropolis To the cali from the Pc
ninsula for help they were the first
20 respond and the generosity Of the
response reflected the highest credit on
the capital city. Now the aspect is
changing The Sacramento delegation
is threatening to oppose appropriation
Of public money for a State building
IN san Fra ncfsco.
When outsiders are asking why the
State Of California does not follow the
example Of the Federal Government
and tender substantial relief to San
Francisco inland representative in the
Legislature interpOse obstacles to the
allowance of State aid TO rebuild the
metropolis The San Francisco delega-
tiOn presents figures to show that the
interest on s500.000-the cost of a
State buildings less than the rent
which the State has been paying for
Offices in the chief city. The measure
viii come up for consideration in the
Assembly tomorrow.
Twenty of the State Senators to be
elected next November will hold over
until the legislative session of 1909 and
participate IN the choice Of a United
States Senator TO succeed Perkins. The
event belongs TO the future. but never
