Plan Legislation

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3f-Much Of
the work Of the forteth regular ses-
sion Of the California legislature, which
convenes a week from yesterday, has
been carefully planned in advance. The
Democratic members elect held eau
Gus recently to frame a platform for
the minority. The Progressive maj0ri-
ty, while emitting the pre-seSsion eau
Gus projected at the state convention,
have also been engaged in the prepara-
ton Of bills.
The session will be dominated by
the Progressive party, under the lead
ership OF the Johnson state admins
tration. In the senate there will be
81 Progressives elected as Republi
oans), 10 democrats and three classe1
as regular Republicans. Already Pro
gressive senator's have indicated their
purpose to invite the affiliation of all
members elected under the Republican
name. Similar action may be taken i'll
the assembly, consisting of Is Progress
sives elected as Republicans. nine reg
ular Republicans. 25 Democrats and one
Socialist.
But determined efforts are being
made to organize the assembly on 4
non-partisan basis, possibly with a
Democratic speaker. 1t is regarded as
probable, however that the forces af
flliated with the state administration
will have a good working majority il
the assembly as well as in the senate,
and control the organization Of both
bodies.
or the legislation planned for the
session, that of widest public interest
is likely to be amendment Of the pri-
mary election law providing for the
segregation of the Progressives and
Republicans, possibly through Ger
tain percentage of the registration b.
party.
A law creating a new board of edu-
cation, appointed by the governor un-
der the free textbook amendment, IS
forecast. Further legislation is neces-
sary to put the amendment into effect.
OF much moment are the plans to
revise the tax system, in order to in
crease the revenues Of the state. These
involve, it is understood, an income
tax law and an increase in corpora
ton taxes.
A struggle will take place over the
control of San Francisco and other har-
bors by municipalities instead of the
state. Municipal control has been
granted to Los Angeles and San Diego.
Revival of anti-Japanese legislation
is certain and will afford some Of tho
excitement Of the session.
The corporation department may ha
taken away from the secretary Of
state.
Several constitutional amendments
are proposed, one increasing the salar-
les and terms of judges.
Among the many bills of general leg
islation will be the following: Provid-
ing health certificates for marriage;
permanent state immigration commits
sion: uniform dress in public schools:
a state bureau Of elections.
The inability Of the state to dispose
Of at par s23,OOO,OOO of 4 per cent
bonds is one of the perpleXing subjects

Aerial Joy Riding.

Since the Death Of Rodgers, tn,
first and SO far the only coast to

newed agitation against circus stunts
in aviation. These are responsible
for most of the deaths and are I'm.
necessary, since they do nothing to
advance the art of dying and
through their disastrous effects hav,
done much to retard It.

The county. it is said. should re
ceive about $1,000 as its share O
the fund. but members of the auto
