SACRAMENTO, Cal, March s.
a two-horned dilemma.-reappor
tionment and revision of criminal
laws-faced the California legislat-
ure today.
On the reapportiOnment issue, the
senate and assembly committees
were wrestling with the problem Of
getting the bill into shape to meet
the scores Of objections to district
lines and at the same time follow
the mandate of the people as ex-
pressed at last November s elec-
ton.
An ugly battle faced the crime
revision comm tees, with Senator
Roy Fellom sworn to fight for his
measure abolishing the death penal
ty until the last committeeman
capitulates.
Reapportionment sub committees
are working on new districts in San
Francisco, los Angeles and Ala
media counties, and MADEIRA and
Merced came in with new objec-
ton at last night 5 meeting, which
will have to be investigated.
The problem of allocating district
lines in San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Alameda counties does not face
the senate committee, because the
federal reapportionment plan allows
but one senator to a county.
AS the three large counties will
gain several new assembly districts
under the new plan of representa-
ton, the matter of fixing the dis
trict lines becomes important. The
measure, however, will have clear
sailing, as soon as its ramifications
are adjusted. ~~'
Crime revision will come up again
tonight before the joint legislative
committee to pass on the merits of
the 65 bills for recasting the states
criminal code.
Stiff Opposition
The senate committee, headed bv
Senator C. C. Baker of Salinas will
likely pass out several of the crime
bills with a favorable recommended
ton. On the other side of the
house, Assemblyman William Horn
blower, chairman of the assembly
committee on revision of criminal
law and procedure, is prepared to
battle against the entire program to
which he is opposed.
If Hornblower succeeds in block
ing some of the bills in his COM
mittee, move will be made in
assembly to take the measures out
by vote of the house-and then the
fireworks will begin.
Regulation of cosmeticlans,
plumbers and BARRIERS was the sub
iect of heated discussion in the sem
ate committee on public health and
quarantine, last night. The hearing
was public, but the committee s YER
diet on the measures was postponed.
The meeting was thrown into an
uproar by testimony of Charles r.
Moehrle, former inspector for the
state board of pharmacy, that the
board had employed ''stool pig
cons and paid them in morphine
to obtain narcotic law convictions.
The sensational charges took
place in the hearing on the bill of
Senator Sanborn Young of Los
Gatos to provide for a state mar
cotic inspector for the pharmacy
board.
