pealing the flat salary state printer law

Lifting b la voice to high pitch and
pounding his desk with vigor, Josepn
declared the situation was a ."crying
ahunie,';. and an "outrage." H shot his
dart directly at Chairman Abbott Of the
. house ways and means committee link
ing Abbott to HUto Printer puniway as
a brother-in-law and business associate,
then linking- Chairman Perkins of the
senate ways and means to Abbott as
another brother-in-law, ..--'' : ftr; .v. !
Perkins' heatedly denied that he is
brother-in-law of Abbott, the fact being
that be Is a brother-in-law of W..M.
l'llmpton, and Plimpton Is a brother-in-
law, of Abbott. ' wnen , reruns naa

an example of the1 hold 'up methods of
. tlm ways, ' and, moans ( committee. Hs
mid that although the terms of this bill
must bq fought 'out on the floor, it has
"never chirped,", since he Introduced. it
as the first measure of the session. It
has been held up, he asserted, as a. plot
to compel paasuita of the flat salary rev

He gave only a little attention to this

"arigger" Difficult to JTlnd.
- Justly or unjustly, the opinion Is
rath wing in certain quarters that a
hocus-pocus gam Is In progress. -. It Is
sometimes difficult to pierce the poll
tics of the situation, owing to the bland
ana piausioie s explanations - that are
made3uat as it is sometimes dlffloult

But the feeling Is growing' among the"
granger members that coterie of the

keeping back ; bills In which the out
ainers are particularly interested. They
are thinking of this in connection with
the paltry lldt of measures that have
actually been sent up to the governor's
i office after more than four weeks' work.
Bill Bald tfp for furpose,
That the flat salary repeal bill has
something to do with this situation is
regarded more and more as the real ex

the question a little cold analysis. This

plan to refer all referendum measures
of the present legislature to the people
at a special state election on August 4,
1913, "was saved from defeat In the
senate yesterday afternoon by a close
VOte. ' ' ' .'. '.'7 " .,.v: '.:'
The bill came to the senate with a
divided report, , Moser, Carson, Thomp
son and Bean of Judiciary commit
tee In its favor, Butler, Dimick and
McColloch against. The vote came on
substitution of'tha minority report for
th majority, and this was lost by 12
to 14. ' The bill then was referred to
tho ways and means committee, as It
carries an appropriation of 112,000.
The test vote1 of yesterday indicates
that, the final result on passing the
bill will be close. Sixteen votes aro re
quired to pass a bill, so In addition to
the 14 given yesterday, two more must
be gathered from four members not
voting yesterday. Those Tour are Far
rell, HoBkins, Von de Hellen and Presi
dent Malarkey. - ; .
The 14 who gave votes favoring the
bill were Barrett, Bean, Burgess, Cal
kins, Carson, Day, Joseph, Kiddle, Les
ter, MOser, Patton, Perklns, ,Smith of
Josephine and Thompson. 1
The plan of Day is to add an emerg
ency clause to the bill before It comes
to vote, so that the referendum may
not be. applied to it. lie argues tttut
the "bill is urgently needed because such
bills as The appropriation for the Pan
ama-Pacific fair, compensation act and
road bills ar likely to be held up by
me referendum, and under the pres
ent, law could not be accepted or re
jected until 4914. when it, would be too
late to. pass another "bill for an exhibit
at-fiaa Francisco in 1915. ' ?
McColloch and Dimick argued- that hs
the people have already i provided by
law when referendum measures majr be
voted upon, the legislature would not
be Justified In Incut-ring, the expense of
a special election to pass on bills that
may encounter the referendum.

Kellahor pointed out that the city

in general terms commends the college
and hints that additional facilities will
receive favorable action. In part the
report says:
"The tfommlttee found that the money
appropriated by the legislature in 1911
for buildings,' equipment and improve
ments has been judiciously and effec
tively expended , The new buildings are
plain, substantial and admirably suited
to the purposes for which they wero au
thorised. In the equipment of the build

"We found that the rapidly increasing

the growing resident attendance and the
requests for assistance from the people
of the state who are unable to go to
the college deserve and require, addi
tional facilities for the proper prosecu
tion of the Work for which the Institu
