When the assembly adopted a .
concurrent resolution advocating a,
constitutional convention and pro-.
posing that the matter be Line

the bill. failed to notice the short .
time permitted to set up the machin.
ery necessary for a special election .
and a convention. And nobody .
mentioned the oversight until after
the measure had been Passed by the
people. .
Proposition No. 8 on the November ballot, which carried by the vote i
of 705,915 to 668,080, provided .
that if the measure was passed, the
governor should issue a pees

tion ‘‘announcing the fact that such
a convention has been called.”
“Thereuppn,”’ the act ‘read, “it
shall be the duty of the Legislature
at this session next after such election, to providé by law for the election of delegates to such convention
and for the holding thereof at the
state capitol. Such convention to
meet within three months from the
date of the election calling it, and
shall continue in -session until it .
shall have completed the work of
revision and provided for submitting the same to the electors for ap-:
proval or rejection.’’
The ‘‘catch’’ in the wording occurred in the last sentence, saying
“Such convention to meet within
three months from the date of the
election calling it.’ B
Since the election calling the convention was on November 6, the resolution. therefore would necessitate
holding the convention prior to February 6.
Before the — convention may be
held, however, the Legislature must
set up the necessary machinery, decide how many delegates’ will be
chosen, how they will be selected
(by districts or counties or on the
.-,basgis of population) and, make arrahgements for a special -election
for the primary purpose of choosing
the .delegates.
The Legislature: convenes January 7, and will have only a month ia
which to hold the election and start
the convention. Such speed would
be impossible, so the entire matter
has been turned over to the attorney general's office for a ‘decision

public utterances, Preside'‘n t
Roosevelt has. specified that such
legislation will come ,before the

A staunch believer in this form

his New York governorship days,
the president does not feel that

rebuilt unless, in its new foundation, there is some such provision for security of its 40,000,000
wage-earners.
Sentiment favoring unemployment insurance has grown.in leaps
and bounds during the depression. State and: federal governments grasp at it as a means of
averting tremendous relief de‘mands. And industry begins to
see in it a desirable alternative to
costly federal relief projects spelling burdensome taxation; and a
vast supply of purchasing power
during slack times.
More than a score of state legislatures have in recent months
studied a host of proposed jobless
insurance measures. There’s the
“Buropean plan” bill, considered
in Ohio, for instance, under which
employers and employes would
contribute in a 2-1 ratio to a general benefit fund.
And the “American plan” measure, adopted July 1 in Wisconsin,
by which each employer maintains. at a definite level a fund
for the benefit of his own employes.
In what was perhaps the most
sweeping measure of its kind, the

PLAN looked upon with favor last winter by President
Roosevelt and others high in federal circles was that proposed by
Senator Robert Wagner of New
York and Representative Davia
Lewis of Maryland.
Under the Wagner-Lewis pill,
the federal government would coilect an excise tax on employers’
payrolls. .Then each employer
would be entitled to a return of
the tax up to the amount he had
paid into a state insurance fund,
with extra henefit to him if he
stabilized his industry.
The worker when laid off would
get at least $7 a week for 10
weeks of unemployment. The the
ory of the Wagner-Lewis setup
may have some influence on the
insurance measure finally adopted, even though, recently, the
president declared insurance funds
should come from “contributions,

California’s present document, old

ible amendments, emergency provisions and conflicting regulations.
It contains many laws, including
wet and dry measures, which have
been changed so much they are unrecognizable.
There is a general feeling among
legislators and officials that the constitution should be simpler, based
on fundamental principles, and that
most regulations should be matters
of legislation which could be changed every two years, if desired, with-.
out the necessity of cluttering up
the constitution with new amendments.

“The Brand of Hate,” —
Bob Steele, will be shown Friday
night at the Nevada Theater.
The plot concerns itself with the
development of the hero, Rod Camp,
from a rather sly, diffident lad to
the status of a man who can hold
.
starring
play the knight errant in behalf of a
distressed damsel when occasion requires. So far. as purely physical
qualifications go, Rod does not suffer by comparison with the rancn
stalwarts around him. But he is
handicapped in his ambitions te
prove himself as good as the next
fellow by the consciousness that he
is still a young’un in point of years,
well as the cowhands, insist upon
regarding him as a boy.
How he proves himself a man is
the plot of this thrilling picture.
Saturday night the modern problem drama ‘“‘Housewife,”’ will play at
the Nevada Theater. ‘‘House Wife”
is the story of a man who is spurred
to the heights of success througn
the efforts of his wife, played by
Ann Dvorak. George Brent plays .
the role of the talented, but easy going husband. After Brent has
achieved . success he forgets’ that it
was his wife who is responsible for
it and begins to philander with the
beauteous’ Betty Davis, whereon
many complications ensue.
Sounding the modern note of intimacy and searching psychological
reaction typical of the Noel Coward
period, one.of the most important
pictures of the year which comes to
the Nevada Theater Sunday and!
Monday, boasts a cast of only four
major players.
And while the cast of ‘‘Chained’”
is small, it is also potent. Clark.
Gable and Joan Crawford are co-.
starred, with Otto Kruger and Stuart
Erwin in support.
Written especially for the screen
. and for the co-stars, as is the present trend, by Edgar Selwyn, noted
director and. producer, the ppoto
story picks up the life thread if a
magnate, Otto Kruger, and the girl with whom he is
enamoured, Joan Crawford.
With no break in either physical
or dramatic movement, it sweeps
‘from the skyscrapers to shipboard,
where Joan meets and later falls in
love with a young South American
rancher, Clark Gable, who is returning with his friend Stuart Erwin
from a vacation in the States.
Quickly introduced, the characters’
lives, in juxtaposition with one another, are followed against a conORDINANCE NO. 219
