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 . { leaders in the legislature. aes } { 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.

THE —+ Lee sOYMENT insurance for American worker? is definitely on the way. In several recent public utterances, Preside'‘n t Roosevelt has. specified that such legislation will come ,before the next. Congress. A staunch believer in this form of workingman protection since his New York governorship days, the president does not feel that the shaken house of American industry can be safely and solidly. 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.

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, —AT-— ' Uncle Tom’s Cabin Le WITH WALTER HEGARTY 'S "ORCHESTRA The Largest Dance Floer in the County DANCING FREE LUNCHES AND DRINKS SERVED 4 Miles North of Nevada City On The Downieville Highway J.

California’s present document, old and unwieldy, is a mass of inflex. wéaTthy shipping 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. “CHAINED” WITH JOAN CRAWFORD, CLARKE GABLE SUN. AND MON. “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 AN .ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE. CREATION.
