Would Protect the Treasury

OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA-
MENTO Feb. S.--To prevent excessive
prices being paid by the state for sup
plies and services the assembly com
mittee on contingent expenses and ac-
counts. of which Robert L. Teller of
San Jose is chairman, this afternoon
prepared resolution which will be
introduced tomorrow.
Petty inroads on the state treasury
have aroused Chairman Teifer, jim
Stuckenbruck, p. II. Johnson and other
members of the committee. This year
claims for supplies and services were
given more than the ,perfunctory ex-
animation that has been the rule in by
gone sessions AS a result resolutions
which were passed today to pay claims
saving of more than $500 to the state
was effected.
In the claim of the printing Office in
vestigation committee appointed last
session the stenographer's bill was cut
so that the total of the claim was re-
duced from S2,35S.6O to S2,127.4O
The committee caused III. S. Crocker
& Co. to charge S1.50 each for keystone
binders this session, as against So last
session. On the $40 purchased the saw
ing was s2S5.
Various other accounts were trimmed
among which was the bill of Cunning
ham. Curtiss & Welch. Because of
goods returned and reduction in prices
the total of the bill was reduced from
$S96.50 to S585.25.
The committees resolution will pro-
pose that for all accounts over 5000
competitive bids be invited. Minor
accounts are to be secured only on

The bill under discussion was one IN
troduced at the request of the unions
providing for the proper manning OF

forced on the Southern Pacific company
would be the employment of an ad-

Burke contended that the matter was
one which should be regulated by the
corporations with their employees, and
expatiated at length on the fair manner
in which the Southern Pacific had al
ways treated its employees. He also
IMPRESSED on the committee, by several
repetitions, that the railroad company
always paid damages when they killed
any one in wreck.
s'Mr. Burke knows that right now
the Southern Pacific is violating an
agreement with its men in regard to
the motor cars which it is installing,
said John of Placer. the author of the
bill. "and he also knows that the men
have to fight for their rights instead of
getting them as easily as he wishes
to make YOU believe. This bill requires

a holdover committee for the investi-
cation of high prices and report back

not be hampered in its inquisition, the
sum of $4,000 is set aside for it's eX-
penses.
Eddie Wolfe has drawn down $4,000
already this session for service on two
holdover committees. OF course. as the
mover of the resolution he will be asked
to serve on the cost of living committee.

said he. Each inside organ has its
controlling or inside nerve" When
