Ogden.-An educational gathering OF
notable importance convened In Og-

hundred teachers from all parts of the
state were registered Wednesday
night in Ogden and although the gath

for the afternoon work, not one place

1907 EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 1l.-Four more
names found their way to the Assem-
bly, patronage list this morning. This
increased the number of attaches Of
the lower house to 316. The additions
were made by motion and there were
no dissenting votes. It would have
been bad taste for any Of the six
Democrats to object. Two Of the ad-
ditions were credited TO Democrats, one
10 Baxter Of Mariposa County and the
other 10 Davis Of San BenitO. Repub-
lican advocates OF retrenchment and
reform could not protest because that
stanch believer in legislative economy,
f. NJ Pyle OF Santa Barbara, was
sponsor for a third. The fourth ad-
dition could In no way excite COM
ment, for il was made at the request
OF Grove Johnson, who made no pre-
tense OF opposition to fat patronage
Pyle came to town expecting Sc a
day patronage. He was appalled, at
the thought OF SIG, protested against
SIS and voted against S1S. but when
the patronage was fixed at the latter
figure he began to send kilograms
home. he used UP about all that was
coming 10 him yesterday, but he still
had a friend to place; so he induced
o.-er members to let him have left
over fractions until he had hired out
another good Job. Those sterling
Democrats, Baxter OF Mariposa and
Davis Of San Benito. also had to do the
hiring act TO add two more names to
the army Of attaches.
The latest recruits are a watchman
at So a Gay, a stenographer at $5 and
two assistant committee clerks at 81.
This makes eighteen Watchmen, LOG
committee clerks and twenty-eight
stenographers. Some Of the watchmen
are near-sighted, many OF the commit
tee clerks could not write a 200-word
report in less than two hours and not
q few OF the stenographers have a
system based on the theory that
transcription is wholly unnecessary.

EVERYBODY WORKS
BUT STEPPACHER
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET..

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 11-Jake Step
pacher, assistant secretary of the Re-
publican State central committee. has
both hands on the lemon passed Cen
eral George Stone and himself and
philosophically declines to let go. That
Steppacher is somewhat in the situa-
tion of the good citizen with a grip on
the caudal appendage of the legendary
bear deprives the situation of none of
the dignity that Steppacher's manly at
t1tude has graced 1T with nor any of
the indignity heaped upon him and his
chief, the chairman of the State central
committee.
With all the patronage pie parceIed
out and no piece of it on the one plate
Chairman Stone presented, Steppacher
declines TO put his chief deeper in a
hole or lay himself open to the criti-
cfsm that must attach to a further at
tack on the treasury already looted to
the amount of $25 day for each Sena-
tor and $1S day for each Assembly
man.
Stone originally asked that Steppa-
cher be elected chief clerk of the AS
sembly. That was his only request for
recognition in the organization of that
body. He deemed it q reasonable re-
quest, based not alone on the theoreti-
cal pull he, as chairman of the State
SChti al SOulAi4lltes OuBnL nave on
almost exclusively Republican body, but
also on the faithful party service of his
candidate.
After Steppacher was permitted to
pose as tentative candidate for two or
three days, Stone arrived and was told
that his man must make way for Clio
Lloyd Later, that his candidate could
not have his former position as minute
clerk of the Assembly. A little rustIing
- 4oIz
cher in the Senate was Forthcoming.
Then Steppacher was drafted for the
hard work incident TO the preliminaries
Tor the inaugural ceremonies In that
capacity he covered himself with dis
tinction. His work done to the salts
faction of every one, Steppacher dropped
around to find out in what capacity he
had been attached to the Senate pay
roll, and to his panied surprise discoy-
cred that the whole S134,0OO worth of
pie had been shoyeled out and that he
had BEEN overlooked in the unloading
Steppacher mildly raised a point of
order and got voluminous and effusive
excuses. The excuses lasted twenty
four hours, and then it was proposed to
recognize the claims of Stone and Step
pacler by special resolution creating
a place for Jake, If unanimous
consent could be secured Unanimous
consent was necessary to save Sena-
torlal honor, because, had not the Re-
publican Senators agreed to mulct the
State OF not more than SIS day each?
Steppacher had one large, juicy lemon
and did not want another. He saw
where he and Stone, in order to get one
measley job from the Legislature, were
to be put in the light of sandbaggers.
The legislative insult perpetrated
upon his chief was sufficient for the
San Francisco man. He did not pur-
pose to put Stone up for public exc
Grafton also, and he told the Senator'S
today that they would confer a favor
on him by permitting the question of
his employment to be forgotten.

amendment of the constitution. Their
efforts are not at all unwelcome 10 the
enemies Of the direct primary.
One Of the avowed friends OF direct
primary reform. pledged TO vote for
a straight, simple proposition for con-
stitutional amendment, who wants also
10 get quick action in the matter OF
United States Senator, is Senator J. B.
Sanford of Ukiah. He has prepared
and viii introduce on Monday a bill
entitled AN act 10 enable the people
OF California TO express by ballot their
preference for some person for the
Office OF United States Senator" The
bin viii not originally be offered as an
amendment TO the Political Code. It
does not IN it's original form provide
either for a method Of getting the
names OF candidates officially before
the people. II does provide that the
names OF candidates shall be placed on
the official ballot, but, probably through
an oversight, does not prescribe q
method for patriotic citizens 10 become
Official candidates.
Sandford's proposition is entitled to
consideration, and IL IL be demonstrated
that the people can be given a chance
10 express themselves on a direct pri-
mary amendment and also 70 advise the
Legislature whom they wish elected TO
succeed Perkins at the next general
election, well and good, but IL both can
not be done, both Democrats and Re-
publicans owe IL TO the people to inter
pose no obstacles TO submission of an
amendment. That Sanford is a Demo
crat probably viii not help his measure
out but il viii not be the sole bill of
the same character They viii all con-
sumo more or less time. That none Of
them viii be allowed to pass is not an
Illogical surmise; but il is not in bills
OF this character that the real danger
lies.
The real danger lies in the attempt
10 leave the whole question hung up
when the Legislature adjourns in March
or the submission Of an ambiguous
self-throttling amendment, which the
people must in self-defense vote down
or see any law enacted under IL go
down before the mace OF the courts.
One proposition for an amendment
already prepared, and which has the
support OF a most estimable association
Of refOrmers, provides for the interJec-
tion OF a few words to section ~ OF
the constitution, which authorizes the
Legislature TO enact laws governing the
election OF delegates TO the conventions
Of political parties Without striking
out the optional clauses Of the section,
which the amendment does not propose,
they would have a constitutional au-
thoriZation OF wholly contradictory
laws applicable TO different political
subdivisions and defeat their object
before they attempted to enact primary
legislation. II is through both the hon
est and dishonest propositions Of this
kind that the machine hopes 10 stave
of and ultimately prevent the redemp-
tion OF the party pledges.

LEGISLATORS FIAT
SET At NAUGHT

Senators Frank w. Leavitt and Ed
ward L. Wolfe have fight on their
hands. Notwithstanding the declaration
Of these Legislators that they would
countenance no amendment to the Ju-
venfIe Court law that aimed to place
probation officers on salary TO be paid
by the various counties, unless the ap-
pOintfve power were removed from the
hands of the various probation COM
mfttees and transferred to the Judges
Of the Superior Court, a conference of
representative of the various yTomen's
clubs and probation committees, held
vest erday at Calvary Church, decided to
propose such an amendment to the Leg
islature at its present session and to
use all available influence to secure its
enactment.
The conference was held at the invi-
tation Of the California Club, Mrs ]. w.
Orr president, and was well attended.
The proposed amendment to the exist
ing law was presented for the con-
sideration of the delegates by ]. w.
Todd. probation officer of San Fran
cisco. 1t provides that in San Fran
cisco there shall be one chief proba-
tion officer at salary of 5000 a month,
four probation officers at 1925 and three
assistants at 500; in Los Angeles two
probation officers and three assistants
class counties one probation officer and
one assistant; in Santa Clara. the only
fourth-class county, one probation of
ficer at a salary of 500 month, and
in all other counties one probation
officer to be paid SO a day for days
actually employed.
Former Probation officer Decota of
Alameda County said that while he
favored the bill he was of opinion
IL
have to be sacrificed before the Senate
would pass the proposed measure. as
Senator Leavitt had stated frequently
that so long as the appointive power
was not delegated to the Superior
Court he not only would refuse to
vote for the bill, but would fight IT.
1t was this feature of the measure
another delegate pointed out that had
caused Senator Wolfe to express his
disapproval. Both of the Senators had
agreed to vote for the measure, how
ever. if the question of patronage were
settled to their satisfaction. NJ J..
White pointed out that to amend the
measure to conform to the ideas of
the Senators named would be to throw
the whole probation system into poll
tics and forever destroy its usefulness
He said the supporters of the proposed
measure should ask for the support of
the Legislature on broad grounds of
public welfare and then IL il were
defeated all right, for it were better
that there be no probation officers un-
der pay than that the probation COM
mittees be retired, as their work had
been of inestimable value.
Probation officer Todd agreed that
this was the proper view 10 take of
the situation and as a result the con-
ference decided to stand pat and
fight for the amendments the pro-
ponents of the measure deemed to be
just. Delegates Lee of Santa Clara,

cisco and Mrs Baldwin and Mrs. Pal

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1OO7 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 11.-What looked
like a fight over the matter of pre-
senting bills came up when the Senate
met this morning, but no part of the
wrangling came out in open session,
Senator Frank Leavitt of Oakland
clamoring for a recess and having his
way. During the recess Leavitt main
tained that all the talk about present
ing bills was premature and absurd.
His own bills were in Oakland, he said,
and he was not ready to present them.
When the Senate reconvened Leavitt
submitted a resolution calling for ad-
Journment until Monday, and again had
his way. Most of the Senators will be
prepared to unload their bills on Mon
day, when there will be considerable
more jockeying for preferential hear
ings.
Balzac's "Comedie Humane" does not
present more variegated subject of
topics than the array of bills with
which the Senators are primed up.
They range all the way in human in
terest from measures restricting false
representation among nursery men in
selling virgin trees to bills designed to
save gullible commonwealth from the
Vaccinations of grasping corporations
and "sixbit" insurance underwriters
Prizefighting, racetrack gambling, pa
