MEASURE GOES
TO COVER NOR
FOR SIGNATURE
State Senate Accepts
Measure With Few
No Votes

SACRAMENTO, Ca =,
April 30. (UP)-California's
1879 budget bill, reduced
about $8,00O,OO0 from t h e
original $466,000,0OO pro-
posed by the administration. was
enroute to the governor today af-
ter two of the most unusual legis-
lative maneuvers ever witnessed by
the states lawmakers.
The senate, predominately Re-
publican, accepted almost without
question the budget as amended
by the Democratic ic-controlled as
sembly and passed it with only
three dissenting votes. The entire
action in the upper house con-
sumed little more than half an
hour, most of which time was
devoted to debate on the question
whether to delay final action un-
til Monday. .,. -.
Neither house followed the pre-
cedent of studying the budget item
by item. The senate hardly ques-
toned its contents, but merely ac-
cepted the recommendation of the
finance committee and approved
the huge appropriation bill with
out amendment.
Gov. Frank F.. Merriam declined
to indicate whether he would sign
the measure without reducing any
items. He said he had not had time
to study the amended article.
Senator Ralph Swing, chairman
of the finance committee, steered
the bill onto the fastest course
ever taken by. measure of that
nature.
He explained that the senate had
one of two courses to follow. It
could throw the bill open to amend
ments and cause it to jockey back
and forth between the two houses
for three or four weeks, or il
could accept the budget as receiv-
ed from the assembly and cleal
the path for immediate action OF
scores of appropriation measure!

ed, but Mayor Rossi did add one
official touch. He turned on the
