OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 25.-Has the state legiS
lature the right to pick and choose be-
tween charter amendments submitted to
1t for ratification or must il ratify them
all or reject them all?
This question caused a deal of heat

Bill Protects Workmen

MENTO, Jan. 25.-Assemblyman Charles
A. Nelson today succeeded in getting
the unanimous vote of the assembly in
favor of his bill TO protect workmen
employed in the construction of build
ings of more than three stories. The
measure requires the laying of tempo
rary floors to prevent the workmen
from falling between joists or girders
and to protect them from falling sticks,
rivets, bricks and other building mate
rial and tools.
Nat Coghlan's bill increasing the
number of notaries public in San Fran
cisco from 80 to 100 was also passed
without opposition. 1t was thought
some of the assemblymen would at
tempt to have all restrictions removed
as to the number and thus place San

enough interest in the matter to do so.
Assemblyman Wheelans bill increas-
ing the salary of the reporter of the
supreme court from S2,400 to $4,000 per
year got through the lower house with
out opposition.

argument in favor OF the change. while
state Forester Lull advanced arRu-
ments IN favor OF the political system.
The entire history Of the letting OF a
private contract by LulI to remove

reviewed. The forester contended that
the trees, as a result OF ire. had died
and were a menace to life and to the
other trees He contended that the
investigation by the Santa Cruz grand
jury some months ago was unwar-
ranted.
Senator Holohan cOntended that the
trees which were cut down by the
lumber contractor were not dead and
that the beauty OF the park had been
marred.

chase or the Armstrong redwood tract

SOLONS DISCUSS.
RAILROAD BILLS
Administration Is Not Opposed
to a Reciprocal Demur=
rage Law

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.-That the
administration is not opposed to q re-
ciprocal demurrage law similar to that
in force in Texas and Oregon was
brought out this evening at the hear
ing on the governors railroad measure
before the committee on corporations.
1t was contended, however, by Attor-
ney General Webb that such a measure
should be enacted separately rather
than in the general law which will gov
ern the railroad commission.
Physical valuation of railroads as a
basis for the fixing of rates is a fea-
ture of the administration measure and
was also discussed thoroughly. This
evenings hearing was the first of a
series which will be held by the com
mittee
Senator Stetson, who introduced the
administration railroad bill, quickly
gave way to Attorney General Webb
before the committee and the latter
entered into general review of rail-
road legislation and what had led to
the preparation of the new measure.
A general discussion followed. with
Senators Miller and Campbell, who are
also the authors of railroad measure,
taking an active part
1t was discovered that the admins
tration measure contained a provision
whereby the transportation companies
WcIc empowered " supper
for failure to unload a car within a
specified time, but that there was no
penalty imposed on the common carrier
which neglected to supply a shipper
with cars after they were demanded.
Webb urged that the power to assess
demurrage be left with the railroad
commission.
Senator Miller brought out the fact
that California, lying as it does be-
tween Oregon and Texas, which have
reciprocal demurrage laws. would suf-
fer if situation arose in which cars
were needed in all three states. He
emphasized the fact that in order to
avoid the penalties in the other states
the transportation companies would
rush their equipment TO those points,
relying on the fact that California had
no provision to penaliZe them. He
stated that instances in which this
actually occurred had been brought to
his attention

WHISKEY FOR LAME BACK
Formula whose Quick Action Surprises
Expert Doctors

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the med
ical fraternity. 1t is an almost infalIi-
Bile cure when mixed with certain other
ingredients and taken properly. The
following is the formula:
ITO one half pint of good whiskey
add one ounce of Toris compound and
one ounce syrup SarsaparilIa compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before each
meal and before retiring"
1t is surely worth trying by any one
who may be afflicted.
Not only will this formula promptly
relieve the muscular pains. but it also
makes one of the most effective system
builders known to the profession. 1t
will increase the appetite and il use
is continued will restore full physical
-vigor to all persons of falling strength
especially the decline caused by age
The Toris compound in connection
with the other ingredients has such n
decided action in purifying the blood
that the good results OF this treatment
can be felt after the first few doses. bur
it would be serious mistake to discon-
tinue until the health is completely
recovered.

of Question
[Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 25.-The present legisla-
ture may be depended upon to investi-
gate the sale of -jute bags by the state
prison directors. Bills introduced in
both houses today at the instance of
Lieutenant Governor Warren Porter,
who is member of the prison board,
are certain to stir matters up and have
the manufacture of grain bags at the
state prison and their sale. investigated
with view to relieving the directors
from the unpleasant situation in which
they find themselves as a result of the
stringent Boynton bill two years ago
which was aimed to protect the farm
ers. but instead involved the state insti-
tuition to its great financial loss.
For years 1t had been the popular
cry of the farmers that they were not
being given fair treatment at the hands
or the prison board. 1t was charged
that the Southern Pacific milling COM
pany was given an undue advantage
and allowed to claim more bags than
justice allowed. Consequently Boynton
came forward with what he thought
was good remedial measure. He
placed such restrictions on the. board
that the farmers could get the benefit
of the prison jute mill. The farmers
clamored for the passage of the bill
and it was passed.
Acting in accordance with the act the
prison board fixed the price at 61b
cents, cut of - cent under the price
of Calcutta bags at that time. The
board was so restricted that it could
not change the prison price after hav-
ing established 1t. The Calcutta bags
We're thereupon placed on the market
at a figure slightly below that set by
the prison board. The farmers, Of
course, bought the Calcutta bags, and
as result the state now has nearly
5000, 900 bags on hand.
The bills introduced today at the in
stance of Lieutenant Governor Porter
provide that the prison directors shall.
not later than January 10. fix the price
at which bags shall be sold for the year.
Until February Is the bags will be sold
only TO the actual consumers of bags.
After that they may be sold to any
one at the discretion of the board.

The largest increase in the appro-
priation is that OF about S20S.0O0 for
