THE GOLD CENTER NEVADA CITY, NEVADA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA THE COUNTY SEAT PAPER APRIL. 17, 1938. REAPPORTIONMENT ‘BILL DISCUSSED Beleiving that <you would be interested in publishing the history of the present reapportionment battle that is now and has been taking “place in the State Legislature is the reason that I am sketching the outline ofthis famous battle that the people of the district may be informed as to present status. (My personal interest in the fight is to take care of the people of my district and at the same time keeping an open mind that the other portion of the state may receive a fair and just consideration. The Craig bills of the Assembly and congressional reapportionment are in my opinion the most equitable for the people of northern California. At the same time giving southern California a fair represeutation. The Craig Assembly bill provides that any present district will be divided the reapportion at follows: Nevada, Placer, Eldorado, Amador Alpine, Calaveres, Tuolumne and Mariposa counties taking Sierra county along with Plumas and Lassen counties and placing them in District no. Northern California mountain counties making eight in. all. The Craig Reapportionment bill leaves the No. 3 as it isin its present form which, I believe owing to the fact that it consists of sixteen counties whose interests are similar is the proper thing to do. The MsKinley Bill adds two more eounties Inyo and Mono into the present district, which I believe, is unnecessary and could be absorbed in Southern California. The McKinley for the for the counties in my present assembly district mentioned in the Craig bill with the exception that Mono and Inyo counties have been added making a total of nine counties instead of eight as provided for in the Craig Bill, There being one}. exception, Nevada county and Sierra county were placed in the Sacramento Valley along with Yolo, Yuba and Sutter. I opposed this set-up and supported the Craig bill because I believed that due to the fact the mining sections of California and particularly Nevada and Siera Counties have always been at swords points with Yolo, Yuba and Sutter counties over a period of fifty years. This being the case I feel that no man could honestly and sinceraly represent the Mountain people, and in addition 70 per cent of the vote being in the lower valley district indicated to me that Sierra and Nevada Counties parically would be without representation in the State Assembly for reasons that I have mentioned herein. The Craig Bills successfully passed the Assembly and were amended in the Senate, by having the McKinley Bill amended into the Craig bill which eliminated the Craig Assembly . Bill, The McKinley Bill passed the Senate with only the San Francisco senators voting against it. When it reached the Heuse the Assembly amen‘ded’ the Craig bill into the McKinley bill. This leaves the reapportionmant picture in a deadlock in both Houses with no hopes of breaking the same. Senator Cassidy amended the Craig Bill in the Senate which was in reality the orginal McKinley Bill by having Nevada county removed from the orginal set-up with the Valley counties, and placed along with the mine other counties in the orginal MeKinley Bill, outlined herein. This would give my Assembly District ten counties with a population of 78,000 plus of more than 8,000 more than should be in any Assembly district. He, also, took Sierra county and placed it along with thé same €ourtise that were in the orginal Craig Bill. I am opposed to that set-up as I believe ten counties are too many espically when you increase the population above that required to form an Assembly District. The unfortunate part of it lies in the fast that in removing Siera and Nevada Counesties from Yuba, Yolo and Sutter an lection of $8212 and Eureka, with outlined in the McKinley Bill it leav-!a quota es Yuba, Yolo and Sutter three counties with 78,000 population, Nevada counties without adding the” population in the Valley counties. I \believe the stand that I have . taken is a fair one and for the best interested of the people of the Moun-! tain counties as well as the Valley counties and in addition to this I want to point out the following: Uuder the terme of both McKinley bills, Southern California in 1933 would gain control of the Assembly ; and the congressional representation in Congress. The failure: of the Narthern California Senators to support the Craig bills that protect the interested of the people of Northern California has angered the people of San Francisco Bay District. The purpose of the Los Angles politicians is to gain cntrol of the Assembly and the congressional representation at which time I am of the opinion they will invoke and initiative measure on the ballot to repeal the present plan of federal reapportionmant in the State Senate which -gives control of the state Senate to the rurel section of California. Los Angles has always voted against this plan and after years of effort the rural sections were succeasful in obtaining federal reappontionment in the State Senate. With Los Anglesdesiring to! gain their former feeling as they do attitude toward the Craig bills, I am afraid they will join with Southern 2 which consists of the . Englebright or District, [ed with a view to California in an effort to repeal the . If this plan is repealed by a vote of . LEGISLATIVE GOSSIPAT STATE CAPITAL BURNED BY INCENDIARY! BERT A.

It was desired to keep the mountain counties within, mountain district so the amendments named were prepared and adopted at the instance of the writer. Governor Frank F.

Governor Merriam made one of the finest addresses we have been privileged to-enjoy, and we have heard him on ithe people It will mean that Southjern California will not only control} . the State Assembly and congressional . have control of the State Senate as ; well. : I believe this would be an unfortunate thing for the rural sections of California and for Northern Calif-. ornia in general, and for that fee son alone I have consistently and will conststantly continue to support the Craig bills beleiving that I am doing! so for the best interest of the people of my district and the people of Northern California in general. If the McKinley bill passes I have been informed that the people of; ferendum that would hold up the reapportionment until the one of the State had an opportunity to express their views on the subject, pwhiel would’ also, mean that the nine new congressmen would have to be elected from the State at large and not from a District designated by law through an act of the Legnumerous occasions during the present session of the legislature. iThe Breed motor vehicle bill pased the Senate Manday and goes to the ‘Assembly for concurrence. The outstanding changes in the preset’ setup are to increase the speed limit to 45 miles per hour, and increasing the age limit for operators licence from 14 to.16 years. All new operators who stand an examination must pay $1 for obtaining their licence. and all interested parties are now virtually satisfied with the bgji in its present form.
