GOVERNOR GILLETT SIGNS
YOLO BASIN DISTRICT ACT
Bill Which Provides for Drainage Of
Lands to Be Used for Grazing
Purposes Becomes Law

SACRAMENTO, April 22.-The argu-
ments of score of Yolo county peo-
pie who labored with Governor Gillett
a week or two ago to have him sign
the Wilson bill creating the Yolo basin
drainage district prevailed, because he
signed the measure today and it is
now a law.
One of the objections of the act is
to secure the drainage of the lands in
Yolo basin by means of canal con-
Meeting it with Suisun bay, into which
all the flood waters will be drained
While the canal is not calculated to
drain the basin completely, it at least
will afford relief and render many
acres fit for grazing for a longer pc
Rod of the year than at present.
The law is so framed as not to in
terfere with the Sacramento drainage
district, of which the Yolo basin. is
part.

ELECTION COMMISSIONER
DELINEATES PRIMARY LAW
Political Candidates May Accept Nom-
nations from Parties Other
Than Their Own

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-An
opinion filed with the election commits
sioners today by Commissioner Thomas
v. Gator, holds that the new direct
primary law does not prohibit the NOM
nation of the same candidate by more
than one party. The commissioner
asks that the registrar be instructed
to receive the petitions of candidates
who seek nominations from parties
other than their own. The opinion
presented declares that the presenta-
ton of an affidavit by prospective
candidate stating that he belongs to
the party but desires the nomination
of another is sufficient to comply with
the law. Election Commissioner King
is understood to agree with Gator in
this contention.
