Litigation Is
Made Luxury
Bill Is Presented That
Would Keep Poor
Out of Court
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.-A bill, which
critics say might well have been en-
titled An act to place litigation be-
yond the reach of the poor" was in
troduced in the Assembly today by
Grove Johnson. The father Of the
measure, however, is not Johnson. He
acted merely as a foster parent at the
request of the San Francisco Bar Asso-
cations committee on amendment OF
the law.

torneys practicing in the Superior
courts of the State. Preceding a
schedule that suggests q Sacramento
ba1bers price card, Is paragraph re-
citing that party in a civil action or
proceeding entitled to or allowed costs
may recover certain amounts to be ap-
piled as attorneys fees.
Then comes the minimum wage
scale Among the items are the fol-
lowing: For fling first pleading, SIS;
for entering 5udgmera, If judgment be
recovered with trial on issues Of facts,
$50; for resisting demurrer that is
overruled, $40; for each hour consumed
In trial of case, excluding time taken
by jury for deliberation, sS; for filing
findings In case where trial is held
without jury, s25; for motion for new
trial where same is granted, 800; for
resisting motion for new trial where
new trial is denied, $50.
Modesty must have dictated the next
paragraph. 1T provides that attorneys
fees be limited to 20 per cent of the
amount awarded to the plaintiff In
cases where the defendant wins he will
not have to pay more than 20 per cent
Of the money involved or a similar
percentage of the value of the prop
erty at stake. Where the Judgment
does not determine value, the attorneys
may go into court and learn what they
want to know by making motion to
tax costs.
That is not all. There is another
schedule of prices, which applies only
to practice in the District Court of Ap-
peal and Supreme Court. In these
places they must get $50 for their first
brief. $25 for reply brief, $25 for a
petition for rehearing and SIS for oral

FOUR-TRACK BILL
IS SUSPECTED
Belief Expressed That It
Would Stop the Western
Pacific in Niles Canyon
VOTE is POSTPONED
GALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.-Assembly-
man Transue'e bill permitting railroads
to bring condemnation proceedings for
four-track rights of way Is viewed with
suspicion by several Legislators, who
fear that 1t contains some Hartman
trick to make trouble for the Western
Pacific.
The measure came up for final
passage today. but opposition caused
postponement of the vote. Transue ex-
plained that the bill merely added an
other rod to the width of the way for
which suit may now be brought. The
object sought, he said. was to enable
electric railways IN Southern California
to four-track their lines.
Davis of Hollister feared the bill
would enable one railroad to prevent
another from passing through a mar
row canyon The canyon might be wide
enough for two lines, but a double right
of way would give one road a monop-
oily.
Stetson of Oakland suggested that
consideration of the bill be made spe-
cial order for next Tuesday.
Transue expressed willingness to
oblige, but added, Southern California
wants this relief. We are badly In
need of such a law"
IT think you can walt until next
Tuesday" remarked Deviin of Vallejo.
Whitmore of Modesto inquired of
Transue whether there was anything in
the charge that his bill would shut the
Western Pacific out of Niles Canyon.
Transue replied that the Western Pa
cifc already had it's right of way
through Niles Canyon. Strobridge Of
Hayward informed him that 1t had OBJ
tanned right of way for only part of
the distance through the canyon. This
ended the discussion. The bill was
made special order for Tuesday morn
ing.

STANDARD INSURANCE POLICY
One Is Submitted by Jones to Be Used
as the Basis

One Is Submitted by Jones to BE Used
as the Basis
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.-The Senate
committee on insurance reached a de-
cisive vote on standard form of
policy this afternoon and agreed to
have the one submitted by o. G. Jones
made the basis of it's work. Jones is
the former Eastern insurance man en-
gagged by Senator Frank Leavitt as
expert for the committee He has
drafted his form on the standard in
use in Massachusetts,, but it has been
amended considerably at the sugges-
tion OF the committee to meet the Cali
fernia conditions
Insurance Commissioner Myron Wolf
T. c. Coogan, representing the board
OF underwriters, and Senator John Cur
tin of Sonoma embodied their ideas of
what a standard form should be in
separate documents. but the vote taken
by the committee today establishes its
preference for the handiwork of Jones.
A bill favorable to mutual insurance
will be decided upon by Jones tomor-
row, after a conference with the Attor-
ney General and will be ready for in
PRODUCTION on Mondoy.

Members of the board Of library

the work of constructing the Car
negie library building on South
Main street. The contractor. G.. V.
Berry, piqued by the fact that SOW
eral months ago the local labor un-
ions filed charges against him for
employing non-unlon men, secured
all Of his workmen from Mansfield,
where he resides.
AS result of the charges filed
against Berry, the union Of which
he is a member fined him 800.
In order that he might proceed with
the work, Berry paid The fine.
This spring. when the weather
made it possible to resume opera
tons, he engaged all Of his men al

However, Berry apparently has
plenty of help, and work on the IL
braiy building is progressing nice
ly. Although his contract calls for
the completion Of the structure by
July !, weather conditions have
been so unfavorable that it will be
impossible for him to finish within
the time prescribed. II is not likely
that the library will be finished be-
