AID IS
ASSURED

Governor Pardee at Oakland last
evening announced his decision that
an extra session of the Legislature
would be necessary The time for
calling the session has not beeen de-
termined On the subject Governor
Pardee said last night:
In regard TO the calling of special
session OF the Legislature for the pur-
pose of relieving the distress brought
about by the recent earthquake and
the subsequent fires, and for the pur-
pose of modifying our laws and the
State constitution to comport with
the new conditions which have arisen,
and will arise in the near future, as a
result thereof, it appears that an ex-
ira session is necessary. But it doeE
not appear that it would be wise to
call the Legislature together until we
have had time to settle down from
the excitement and the shock occa-
stoned by our misfortune, and, hav-
ing had time and opportunity TO sur
vey the field, determine just what we
need. The destruction Of public rec
ords is apparently so complete that
many changes, both in the laws and
the constitution, will be necessary to
remedy the defects. We do not yet
know the full results of the earth
quake, but we do know that many Of
the State buildings are badly dam
aged and some Of them entirely de.
stroyed.
In short, there are many impor-
tant questions to be thought over and
decided in the public mind before the
legislative action is had.
.Hasty legislation has always
proved, and always will prove, disas-
trous- And in such times as these
with which we are now confronted
hasty legislation would, because OF
the public excitement anG our Want of
knowledge of what we really need, be
doubly disastrous.
We are at this time entirely abb
sorbed In relieving immediate dis
tress. providing against the immediate
future and reckoning up our accounts
of losses sustained 1t seems as If {.
calmer Judgment as to cur future
needs viii be had after the expiration
Of at least a few days"
At the. meeting yesterday Of the
committee OF fifty it was the general
voice Of the Mayor and the COMM sse
that Governor Pardee should call Z
special session of the Legislature.
