a hearty viva voce "no," and the house
then began the discussion of a reso
lution Introduced by Stanton's close
friend. Assemblyman Jacob P. Transue,
who wanted the whole anti-Japanese
question wet blanketed at this time.
The resolutions clearly define the at
titude of California regarding federal
control of state legislation of school
questions, but while emphatically lay
ing down this principle, they take the
conciliatory attitude of yielding a big
point in order not to "disturb the re
lations between this government and a
friendly power."
The resolutions read In full as fol
lows: "Whereas, Xt has been represented by
the president of ths TTnitdu States that

Salem. Or.; Feb. 10. "Unleaa the sen

Frank Miller this morning, "I shall call
for the bill on the floor of the senate

Indifferent to Code.
The senate committee on Irrigation,
of which Senator Merryman is chair
man, has .been very indifferent toward
the water code. Senator Miller, who is
the only member of the committee that
has taken enough interest In the bill to
crowd it. has been unable to get the
committee together. A meeting was
called for last night, but it failed be
cause the members would not attend.
The other members of the committee
are Senator Parrlsh, who is openly
against the bill; Senator Beach, who Is
indifferent, and Senator Bingham, who
was against the. measure at the open
ing of the session, but who, it Is now
believed, . will favor' the bHL Senator
Miller now believes the bill will pass

would have had a chance at all early in

Public favors Bill.
Public sentiment in favor of the
measure will assure Its passage. The
fact that the house has passed the bill
has caused some of the members of the
senate to complain that they were be
ing crowded, and they have pretended to
resent the house's forwardness. They
offer the action of the house as an ex
cuse not to report the bill sooner. The
whole course of the committee, how
ever, . has been to delay action on the
measure as long as possible. However,
it oannot be delayed longer than - to
morrow, according to Senator Miller,
who says now he will force It before the
house In the morning unless a report
is made on it sooner ny the committee.
