The effort to exempt the ju-
dietary under the operation OF
the recall, was the last deter
mined attempt to block the prog
ress of California's new admins
tration in the fulfillment of its
pledges.
In the struggle in the 1egisla-
ture to secure the adoption of a
resolution to submit to the people
the question of a general recall
law, the forces of special privi.
1ege were driven from their last
intrenchments.
Three important steps re-
NAMED:
To safeguard public funds.
To further fortify the state
against corporate aggression.
To extend the power of the
people in the national congress.
The first was accomplished by
the creation of board of control
to replace the existing state board
OF examiners, which had proven
itself ineffective in preventing
waste and extravaganza. The new
board, made appointive by the
governor, was empowered to SUI
pervise the expenditures of funds
for state institutions, in the mat
ter of purchasing supplies, let
ting contracts, inspecting building
operations and other work per-
formed for the state and other
wise to guard against wasteful ex-
penditure of public funds.
The second steps was accom-
plished by extending the powers
and jurisdiction of the railroad
commission from railroads to all
public service corporations.
What has come to be known as
the Oregon Plan" accomplished
the third step. Though, under the
existing direct primary law, the

people had gained the power OF
choosing by direct vote their rep
lresentatives in the lower house of
the national congress, the func-
tion of electing U. s. senators still
remained with the legislature. The
new administration stood pledged
to transfer this function to the
people.
We believed the Oregon Plan
to be the most satisfactory meth
cd of effecting this transfer. Its
operation, / think, Is now very
generally understood. BY indi-
rection 1t removes the function of
electing U. 8. senator's, conferred
upon legislatures by the constitu-
ton of the u. 8. from the legisla-
ture to the people, by permitting
the pledging of candidates for the
Legislature to vote in the legisla-
ture for the peoples choice for u.
s. senator, as expressed by direct
vote at a statewide election.
A bill amending the existing di-
rect primary law to include the
Oregon plan was submitted to the
legislature and passed without Sc
rious opposition.
1t was long, hard, splendid
session. 1t was a session unprece-
denied in the history of the state.
1t marked the end Of one era, the
dawn of another.
The 85th day ended with every
promise of the new administra-
tion fulfilled, with a list of clean
cut victories for the people truly
astounding in extent and import.
TT RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE"
How far reaching will be those
victories, to what extent both
state and nation will benefit by
them, rests largely with the cleo
'torate of California.
My faith I'm the intelligence and
the patriotism of the average
American voter leads me to the
firm conviction that the splendid
opportunities created by the Iegis-
Iature will be improved to the ut
most i'm California; and that there
by the cause of true democracy,
the struggle to establish a govern
ment in this nation, will be adj
vanced intelligently, effectively,
permanently.

turn of the same 10 City Registrar

The Clerk of the Peace and the
magistrates are having troubles Of
their own under the new marriage
law, which went into effect yesterday.
Deputy Clerk Of the Peace Wright
was working overtime last evening,
trying to untangle the law, when ono
Of the justices of the peace called him
BY telephone. He asked II a mar
riage license could be issued and a few
minutes later the prospective bride
and groom appeared They were from
Pennsylvania, and while the girl ad-
mitted being twenty-three years old,
the groom under oath admitted he was
only nineteen.
There was nothing TO do but refuse
the license, as the young man. being
under age, was not accompanied by
his parent or guardian.
Under the old law, when a couple
would appear before a magistrate for
a license and they or either of them
we're too young, the magistrate would
