Proceedings of the Legisla-
ture--Big Appropriation
Bill.

Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer: The House of Re-
presentatives spent, it's morning
session with the general app ro-
priation bill, which passed with
notice of general amendments
ON third reading, practically un-
changed as it came from the
ways and means committee a
few days ago. What the Senate
will do with it remains to be
seen. The bill carries a total of
$1,51O,0O0, which, in round fig
ures, is 100000 greater than
last year, and the heaviest since
reconstruction days.
The bill does not carry any
increase in salaries for State of.
ficers, which has been recon-
mended by Governor Ansel.
There is bill now before the
House looking to such increase,
and so there was no contest along
this line.
The appropriation for the
immigration department., on
which it has been expected there
would be fight, passed without
a dissenting voice. Bills are
pending looking to the abolish
ment of the office.
The item in the bill appropria-
ting $500 for the annual re-
union OF Confederate veterans
was stricken out by a majority Of
ten votes. These reunions have
been held in Columbia, but in
spite of the fact that Columbia
supplemented the amount to en-
tertain the veterans those who
attended generally seemed 10
expect more than they got, and
the reunions have proved unsat-
isfactory to the better class of
veterans themselves.
A fight was made on the item
of SO, 900 to complete the work
of beautifying the State house
grounds, on which $4,000 has
just been spent, but all efforts
to cut out or reduce the amount
failed.
Mr.. Werner wanted to double
the appropriation to 100000 for
the system of high schools in
rural districts throughout the

could write something done,
but if there is one virtue about
this Legisl stature it is that it is
going slow, and 1 think that one
half at least of the bills in "oduc

that will be so much better for

of bills introduced does not mean
that so many laws are needed,
for we have as many as ten on

bill on my desk is marked 1928,
so you may guess this is a good
big batch. The bills that have
caused most trouble are the pro-
hibition, the lien law, the in
surance bills, bills on education
and the contract labor law. These
have not yet been disposed of
entirely. The prohibition ques-
tion is likely to go before the
people in the next primary elec
ton. The lien law, it is thought,
will be repealed by both houses.
Education is receiving rather
the lions share. All the col
leges have their usual large ap-
preparations. The high school
was provided for in the same
amount appropriated last year,
but there has been much talk
against the high school law
Yet, the Legislature seems to be
committed to schools of every

"The railroad corporations have al
ways benefited the harbor cities, and
it is beyond our conception why they
have been brought SO keenly under
the hammer by the metropolitan press.
The apparent fact that San Pedro has
received special favors at the hands
of the railroads has caused few heads
to be sore and in order to relieve their
feelings they have resorted to the roast
ing methods through public channels.
The railroads are the people who are
making San Pedro ahead of all ports

The Los Angeles harbor commission
does not seem to be as alarmed over
the scheme as it's opponents have ex-
pected.

ponent looking at his hand. All right,
he said, the more you see of it the

WOOLWINE'S FRIENDS
LOOK FOR BUSY WEEK
Expected Attack at Liberal Alliance
Meeting Fails to Materiallze, the
Subject Being Dismissed
in Curt Style

When the grand jury meets at 10
o'clock this morning it is expected that
decisive steps will be taken TO bring
the graft charges TO head. No one
who could give an inkling of what TINS
may be will say a word, but interest
around the courthouse will be greater
this week than it has been at any time
since the letter was sent by Mr.. Wool
wine to the police commissioners last
August relating his belief in police
in police apathy against vice.
"rhe result this week will satisfy
Mr.. Woolwine," said one of his friends
yesterday. HE asks only a fair
minded investigation, and we believe
that everything points to movement
on the part of the grand jury to see
that he gets it. If the truth We're
known I believe the majority of the
jury would be found heartily in SYM
pathy with Mr. Woolwine, and in favor
of giving him decent chance to prove
his charges. If they are as weak as
the mayors friends claim why doesn !
he have a chance to hit the GROUND
Their attitude certainly disproves their
contentious and shows that they have
a poor case"
1t was thought that the mayor would
make an attack on Woolwine at the
Liberal Alliance meeting at Chutes
park yesterday, but he was not pres
ent. He was in the Antelope valley,
where he went Saturday to take in the
rabbit drive, and remained to learn
some things about the progress on the
aqueduct work, The only reference
made to the graft investigation was
Chairman Gesner Williams character
ization OF it as a tempest in tea
pot such, according to him, being the
Liberal Alliances opinion of the mat
ter.
1t is said that another libel suit will
be flied this afternoon

looks to the consolidation as one mar
Dor city of Long Beach, winning t1Ir .'1,l
and San Pedro. The argument openly
urged is that this will make city
not antagonistic to the railroads, prlng-
ing about corporation and state ue-
velopment of the inner harbor without
paying any attention to Los Angeles.
In that way, the advocates OF the
scheme say, Los Angeles could be left
to whistle by the wayside.. ;,
at is no use to antagonize the rali-
roads," say the men who propose TINS
scheme. "You can't do without them
and they can put in lot of money
and influence if they want to- They
can make the harbor and make this
combined city a great commercial CEN
ter. If we do this you will see Los
Angeles moving down here before
long,"
An editorial that prominent San Pc
dro men say is inspired, which defends
the railroads and takes the same view,
was published last week in the san
pedro Times. The editorial is as fol-
lows:
"The fear that Los Angeles rightly
entertains lies In the fact that the
very near future will witness the COM
plete bottling up of this harbor by the
railroads, thus making Los Angeles ap-
pear on the map as an inland city.
"This point has every indication of
being the future headquarters for all
the principal business that is intended
for Southern California. We have the
facilities for making it so. as relates
to the railroads and the shipping ad-
vantages, both of which have provided
big inducements for the proposed loca-
tions of factories along the harbor.
"The proper caper to be cut is for
the cities of Wilmington, San Pedro
and Long Beach to get their heads to-
gether and combine in one great har-
Dor, leaving the name to be decided
upon after all preliminaries have re-
ceived due attention. The move would
be one Of financial gain to all; the

permission to try the machine and

EXTENSIVE PLANS
Realty Men Emphasize Need OF Unity

The Sacramento valley has awakened
to its possibilities and is to play a
prominent part in advertising and I'M
proving the state, admittedly following
the example of Southern California III
this respect. At the congress IN sac
ramento Wednesday and THURSDAY
last. when "get together committees
were organized, several speakers allud-
ed in complimentary terms to the "orh
accomplished and the unity OF spirl1
demonstrated in Los Angeles anu the
seven counties as whole.
1t was asserted, however, that the
Sacramento valley was endowed py
nature with many advantages thdI elle
men and organizations of Southern
California had to create ana that M MtlleIe
was no reason when these advantages
were made known to the world, why
the growth of population and wealth.
in the great northern valley shoulo
not at least equal that OF the region
south of the Tehachapi.
The realty board of Sacramento
PLAYED a leading part in awakening the
enthusiasm displayed at the congress
One "get together committee was
composed of real estate agents doing
business in the valley. The other COM
prised the promotion" men or secre--
taries of chambers of commerce ana
boards of trade and the mayors OF the
various cities and towns.
The value of membership in the Cali

forcibly expressed by several speakers
and the work of that organization ana
of the several local boards which are
included in it in Investigations and ex-
posing false representations, mislead-
ing advertising and fraudulent selling
of land was specially commended.
Urges Need of Unity
The executive secretary, Herbert
Rurdette. was present by request, and
spoke on the Importance of state har--
mony and unity. Every word uttered
by previous speakers in disparagemeht
of Knocking" narrowness and inter-
town jealousy in the valley applied
he said with equal force to the state
at large, He explained that one OF the
principal objects of the federation was
to abolish sectional i'll feeling and pro-
mote the upbuilding and colonization
of the entire state on honest and falr
lines.
President w. r. Noble of the Sac
ramento realty board pointed out that
chambers of commerce and similar
organizations, through advertising, at
tract people to the state, but 1t remains
for the real estate men TO make set

MAN KILLED ON RAILWAY 4,
IDENTIFIED BY DAUGHTER

The body of the aged man who was
struck and killed Friday night neal
Ramona station, on the Covina line of
the Pacific Electric railway was iden-
titled last night at Pierce Bros morgue
by Mrs. A. S. Thompson of 1866 Bush
nell avenue South Pasadena, as that
of her father, August Lewis, who lived
with her.
Mrs. Thompson stated that her father
who was 70 years of age, frequently
took long walks and long street car
rides and she presumed that the time
of the fatal accident he was on one OF
the latter.
He left their home Friday afternoon
without stating where he was going
but no uneasiness was felt on his ac.
count until late Friday night, when he
had not returned home.
Since that time Mr.. and Mrs. Thomp-
son have beer looking for the aged
man, but had not resorted to a. search
of the hospitals and morgue until they
had exhausted every other place wherl
they thought he might be.

GLENDALE MAKES PROTEST
AGAINST SCHOOL CHANGE
Superintendent Mark keppel Hears
Complaints Regarding Rear
rangement of Dis
tricts

Residents of Glendale and West Glen
dale appeared before Mark Keppel,
county superintendent of schools, Sat-
urday morning and protested against
petitions on file to change the school
districts of these two suburbs. 1t had
been proposed to take a portion OFF
the west end of Glendale and give it
to West Glendale, and off the south of
West Glendale to be added to Glen
dale.
The position for this change alleged
IL would make the school districts more
convenient. The protest was based
chiefly on sentimental grounds and
as superintendent Keppel cannot find
that any material benefit will result
from changing the districts, he de-
clared he would recommend to the SUI
pervisors that they be left as they
are.
