Referendum Not Favored
Especial Dispdich 10 The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
lis, chairman of the judiciary commit
tee, isn't hot tonight. His committee
this afternoon reported out with a
favorable recommendation Senator
Blacks proposed constitutional amend
ment providing for the initiative and
referendum. 1t was not Willis fault
that the amendment got favorable
recommendation. He tried to avoid a
vote, but he will have to content him
self with a minority report.
Senator Black happened in to the ju-
dietary committee this afternoon and
found a bare quorum of seven senators
in attendance. They were Chairman
Willis, Thompson, Mccartney, Anthony,
Campbell, Caminetti and Cartwright.
That combination looked good to
Black and he blandly requested as a
special favor, that his amendment be
taken up for consideration.
The Black amendment was con-
sidered in the judiciary committee last
week and got number of severe
jolts, Notwithstanding that John w.
Sweeney, Walter Macarthur and Isidor
Jacobs of San Francisco and DIR. John
r. Haynes of Los Angeles a~-eared to
make speeches In favor of 1t. Wright
of San Diego led the fight against it
that day. stating his belief that 1t was
in conflict with the federal consti-
Senatorial courtesy requires that a
measure be considered in committee
when Its auLnOT comes around making
the request so although Willis would
have liked to see a few more senator's
at the committee table, he was unable
to prevent the calling up of the amend
ment.
After some little discussion the mo-
tion was made that the amendment be
reported to the senate with the recon-
mendation that it be adopted. That
didn't suit Willis at all. He thought
there was plenty of time to take ac-
tion; ne thought the hour was late and
that an adjournment was in order, he
probably thought, though he didn't say
it, that he was having "one put over
on him."
But a vote was taken and Senators
Anthony. Campbell, Caminetti and
Cartwright voted to report favorably,
while Senator'S Willis, Thompson and
Mccartney took the other side.
Willis was visibly perturbed when
the motion prevailed and announced
his purpose of submitting an adverse
minority report. 1t remains to be seen
whether the senate will substitute that
minority report for the report of the
triumphant majority, consisting of
three democrats and one radical re-
publican.
