CALL HEADQUARTERS,
10nZ EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 22.-By a vote
OF % to Ss the Assembly refused today
to consider Grove Johnson's spur track
bill. which was rushed through last
night while many members were nod
ding in their seats. The roll call on
final passage showed 43 ayes and 8
noes. Johnson was not present. Here
tofore it has been the rule at night
sessions to postpone action on contest
ed measures, but last night the rule
was ignored.
AssembIyman Devlin. who had given
notice Of reconsideration, argued today
that an unfair advantage had been
taken of opponents of the measure, but
Grove Johnson was satisfied, so was
Jere Burke, and the Assembly voted
Devlin down.
Jhonson's bill extends the authority
of the Railroad Commission to street
railways and interurban roads, and
gives 1t greatly increased powers. 1t
may hold hearings on petitions for spur
tracks not over 500 feet long and order
such spurs put in. 1t may investigate
and declare the blame for all accidents,
and it may compel any railroad to ar
range an interchange Of traffic with an
other.
According to supporters of the bill
the spur track provisions do not apply
TO incorporated cities and towns, but
opponents say that the existing law on
the subject is uncertain Further, they
argue that under the proposed law a
Railroad Commission subservient to
William F. Herrin could use its power
to make the Southern Pacific Company
demand proof in ell suits growing out
of accidents. One provision of the bill
that particularly pleases the Herrinites
would enable the Railroad Commission
to compel the Western Pacific to inter
change traffic with the Southern Pacific.
Grove Johnson insists that the bill is
in the interests of the people He says
it will give the members OF the Rail-
road Commission something to do be-
sides draw salaries.

To LIMIT THE POWER
Of THE SPECIAL AGENTS
House Decides to Restrict
the Use of the Big
Appropriation
SLURS ON SETTLERS
People of West Resent Idea
Public Domain Residents
Are Thieves

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The FIouse
in committee of the whole placed itself
squarely on record today In favor of
limiting the power of special agents of
the Department of the Interior by a
vote restricting the use of the appro-
priation of s250.000 covered by the sun
dry civil service appropriation bill to
pay the salaries OF such agents. BY
a vote of 104 to 10 the committee
adopted an amendment offered by Mon
dell.
During the debate the work of the
special agents was severely condemned
and the orders of the President re-
garding final proof on homesteads criti-
cised. as working unnecessary hard
ships upon settlers.
Cushman of Washington in cham
pioning the Mondell amendment said
he regarded the Secretary of the Inte-
rior "as an honorable, honest and high
minded man and well intentioned." but
added:
I do believe he IS suffering from a very severe
case of suspicion regarding the integrity of the
people of the West The present Secretary Of
the Interior has advertised and given currency tc
a great degree to these few lonesome instances OF
fraud that have occurred until be has saturated
the public mind with the belief that men who re-
side on the public domain are thieves and loot
ers.
Cushman declared the progress of the
West depended on the ownership of the
land by individuals. and denounced the
present policy as opposed to that in
terest. Continuing he said:
1t seems to me the Secretary Of the Interior is
proceeding in these matters on the assurnntion
that all men on the Western domain are Jishon
est unless the contrary is proved and this is
known 10 be untrue. There is no reason why tbe
people of the West should be watched by n herd
of private detectives. l would like to ask tbq
gentleman from Illinois MANN. who seems to
think II is necessary to have these special agent,
watching the from Minnesota in order thar
they may perpetrate dishonest act who is fc
guarantee the honesty of the special agent?
When special agent starts out from the office
of the Secretary of the Interior, he is satura ted
before he starts with the idea of fraud Tho
very existence Of his Job depends upon his finding
fraud, and if he does not find fraud the necessity
for his official existence ceases.
/ would rather accept the statement of the SET.
tiers than those OF the agents. who have been
appointed perhaps from the suburbs of slatlgb.
ter-house in Chicago. simply through political IN.
huence, to investigate the public domain of the
country.

was adopted.

laws amended further In the Senate to-

by hounds. The proposal was voted
down, twice last week after spirited
debate. Carter's amendment was de-
feated today and Nelson of San Fran
cisco then introduced another amend
ment providing for a closed season for
deer for three years. The amendment
was passed without roll call. Consid-
cradle opposition to the amendment is
expected to develop, however, when the
bill to which it is attached comes up
for passage.

CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, Feb. Ex-senator
Belshaw and Assemblyman Campbell
both come from Contra Costa County.
One is an old hand at the legislative
game and the other is recent re-
cruit The latter fact explains how
Belshaw forced Campbell to with
draw his objection to raising the
salary of Contra Costa Countys Su-
perior Judge from $4,000 to $4,000
Campbell took issue with Belshaw
on prize package" bill introduced
by Grove Johnson. Originally the
bill, which was in the form of an
amendment fixing the salaries of Su-
perior Judges, made only one change.
1t raised the salary of Sacramento
County's Judges from $4,000 to $4,000.
When it emerged from committee the
Sacramento salary stood at $4,000, but
Marin County had slipped in with a
raise from $4,000 to $4,000; also Orange
County. with a raise from $500 to
$4,000. In this form the bill passed the
House.
Upstairs several decorations were
added. Los Angeles was raised from
$4,000 to $6000 Santa Clara from $4,000
to $4,000, Contra Costa from $4,000 to
$4,000 and Mariposa. Ventura and Mono
from $4,000 to $4,000.
When the bill found its way back
to the lower house Campbell objected
to the Contra Costa amendment An
increase, he said, was not needed, and
the people of his county were opposed
to 1t. Out OF courtesy to Campbell
the Assembly, while concurring in all
other amendments. upheld his objec-
ton. A conference committee was ap-
pointed, Belshaw grinned and stood
his ground, and the Senate refused to
recede To-day the question came up
again in the Assembly. Campbell had
"nuthin' at all to say" and his COL
leagues promptly concurred in the
Contra Costa amendment.
