Bills for Removal From
Sacramento Presented
in Both Houses
SENATE FAVORABLE

the Measure

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21-The Legis-
lature will suspend the arduous labors
Of lawmaking on Saturday morning
for the delights of a junket to Berkeley
and an inspection OF the capitol site
that the Berkeley boomers propose TO
present to the State IL the people will
consent to a removal of the seat Of
government from Sacramento to the
bay side.
The Berkeley removal boom came
formally before the Legislature with
the Introduction of bills authorizing
the submission of the proposition to
the voters OF the State at the general
election in 1908 and providing in the
event of ratification for the removal
on January 1, 1909. Senator Lukens
is sponsor for the measure IN the up
per House and Phil Walsh has charge
of it in the Assembly. Both houses
have agreed to adjourn at 11:15 on
Saturday morning to accept the invita-
tion of the Berkeley boomers and spe-
cial coaches will carry a majority Of
the lawmakers to Berkeley, where they
will be entertained royalty.
A poll of the Senate indicates be-
yond question that If the Berkeley peo-
pie will submit a proposition for the
donation Of the capitol site and at
least $1,000, 900 their bill will receive
the necessary twenty-seven votes In
the upper House.
With the Assemblymen there is a
question of the expenditure of some
$4,000. 600 or s5.ooo.00o and the virtual
abandonment of the investments here.
A good big working minority of the
lower House, in common with the peo-
pie Of Sacramento, are not disposed TO
treat this subject seriously.

K. Mott returned from Sacramento to-
day, where he spent yesterday with a

project to make Berkeley the capital

was impressed with the situation and
he declared that Berkeley could win
its fight il the Legislature would sub

FAvoRs DEATH PENALTY
Senate PASSES Bill Making Robbery at
Night Capital Crime

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.-Lukens of
Alameda was Seen In action for the
first time since his return to the SEN
ate when he spoke today against the
bill introduced by Wolfe of San Fran
cisco making robbery between sunset
and sunrise crime punishable by
death. Lukens was against the bill,
because the history of criminology
showed that when the punishment of
a crime was increased IN severity
the crime itself progressed in violence.
He thought that thugs who held men
up in the street at night would be
more likely to resort to murder IL
they knew that robbery was a capital
offense.
Wolfe. in explaining that the bill
had been introduced as a result of the
gaspipe crimes in San Francisco. spoke
in support of 1T at length. He was not
in favor of the amendment made to II
in the Assembly, which makes it dis
cretionary with a jury convicting a
man for robbery to recommend that
the penalty be imprisonment of not
less than ten years or for life The
bill passed with this amendment The
vote stood:

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb 21.-Assembly-
men waiteds<vainly this morning for
their bill files. Bills came up for pass
age. and as there was nothing to refer
to Nthe members had TO depend on the
explanation of the authors Down
stairs in the fling room files were
stacked up in great piles. Many bills.
fresh from the printing Office, were on
! hand. but not a single bill filer was
at work. Down town the rumor went
around that ten bill fllers had hypothe-
Gated their warrants for the rest OF
the session and disappeared.
Early in the afternoon session of the
Assembly, Thompson of Los Angeles
protested against members being de-
under consideration. Speaker Boards
lee sent word to the sergeant at arms
that the files must be returned to
the desks Immediately. Soon afterward
files began to come upstairs by the
basketful, but it was noticed that they
were far from up to date.
Inquiry in regard to the story that
ten bill filers had fled, after transacting
the limit of business with some money
lender, brought forth denials from the
chief bill filer.
Skeptics were taken down to the
fling room. where several men who
seemed new to the work were busily
engaged. Excuses were made for the
delay. 1t was urged that the work had
assumed immense proportions, but old
hands at the legislative game were not
convinced. They insisted that the work
is no harder than at previous sessions.
They believe the story of the fight
of the bill flers. and say the men now
at work are janitors, porters and ser.
geants at arms pressed into service
not only to perform a task that must
be done, but to avoid scandal

The amendment provides for the
senaration of state from local taxation.
Leaving the matter of real estate taxa
tfon to the municipalities and counties,
franchises and all taxes derived from
corporations are TO revert TO the State.
The scheme of revision entails some not
s,crrious results. The Southern Pa
cifc. for instance, will be compelled TO
nav more taxes under the provision
calling for a per cent rate on gross
eernines. The United Railroads, on the
other hand, viii have its taxes reduced
IN San. Francisco by more than 100000
annually. It IS estimated that Wells
Fargo will pay more than $4,000 ad-
