Mir NEW LAWS IN CALIFORNIA After Lengthy Session In Which Many Progressive Laws Are Passed Cali fornia Legislature Adjourns Score of Important Measures Are Out. OVER 3000 MEASURES CONSIDERED BY SOLONS Governor Johnson Praises Work of Body A Number of Progressive Laws Failed to Pass. SACKAMENTO, Cal., March 28. After one of the lengthiest, and, view ed from (he standpoint of political leaders, the most progressive ses sions, the H'Jtli California legislature adjourned sine die shortly before dawn today. Officially, the legisla ture closed at midnight. The senate arjourned at one o'clock this morn ing and the assembly three hours "later. The session wns marked by the passage of a score of important measures and a host of smaller ones in the interests of elennor polities, the betterment of labor conditions and the reformation of judicial proce dure. The consideration of more than .V 000 bills by the lawmakers was oik of the records established. With (he many important incnsure thnt passed were a few that failed among them being senatorial and as sembly district reapportionment, bas ed on the federal consus; an nnti alioji land owning law, which passed the senate but failed in the asseinblv: a double session of the legislature to permit its members to study all bills introduced, and the defeat of the nnli-injunclion bill sought by or ganized labor. A reason for the good work of the legislature, given by one of its" mem bers was that it noted in conjunction with Governor Johnson throughout the session, and at no time wn there any friction between the legis lative and executive branches of the stale government. Hesuino of the work of the Thirty ninth session of the California legis lature wns given the United Press to day by Governor Johnson. Hy Hiram W. Johnson, governor of California. It has been a splendid session and viewed from the standpoint of real progress this sesiou of the legislature has been unique in tho history of Cal ifornia, it has moved this gre.U state from a position of servitude to corporations to a place in tho front rank of tho forces of progress throughout the nation. It is the more encouraging that this result has beon obtained with deter mined and well planned opposition lo the measures that looked toward progress. The list of vistorics is a splendid one. It is no longer and no shorter than I anticipated; and yet, had we won only the initiative, referendum and recall, the session would have been abundantly worth while. With those moasuies in tho form of constitutional niuondmenls to be submitted to the people, tho voters wore supplied with the means of tak ing th power of government into their own hands by the direct exer cise of the right of making laws, re jecting them and of controlling their public officials. With tho adjourn ment of tho Legislature out duty is but partially performed. As 1 say, there has beon stubborn oimosition to what we knew to be the will of tho people as oxpocted at'a the polls ami m tne manor or jegis-, lation.
