USLATIVEin) SETTER by Graham ¢ Berry (By WNU Service) Backed by more public interest than has been centered on any political body in the history of the state, the Fifty-first California Legislature convened in the Capitol at Sacramento, last Monday noon. No Iess than 41 per cent of the 120 legislators who will face some of the most difficult problems ever set before the state government are new mén, chosen at last November’s election for their progressive policies and for their stand with Roosevelt’s New Deal. Chief among the problems facing the Legislature, and “one which ties in with all the important issues, is the state or executive budget. The paradoxical demands made on this budget include on thé one hand slashing expenses and on the other, spending more. Although the Legislature has been convened since Monday, not much work has been done with the bills 2s yet, other than to shape them for presentation. Monday afternoon was spent in the usual election of officers for both heusés. Tuesday, Governor MerTiam was inaugurated, delivering his inaugural speech at a joint meeting of both houses in the. Assembly chamber. In the evening the governor’s ball was held at the Sacramento municipal anditorium, being attended by one of the largest collection of California’s notables ever to assemble for a social occssion. Wednesday morning business began in earnest under the Capitol dome. What Has Happened The background from which the present political problems and tthe Legislature have evolved is unique in California history. Never before has so much political interest been aroused or such wholesale shift= been made in popular opinion in such a short time as in the last election. Behind the dramatic political campaign of last year were the growing economic needs of California such as unemployment relief, unbalanced bifdget, tax tangles and the complicated liquor control problem. : The. first upsetting political event was the death of Governor James Rolph, Jr., who collapsed while campaigning for re-election. It was then that Merriam, whom Rolph had called his most dangerous rival for gubernatorial honors, became the twenty-eighth governor of California. Immediately he was declared the outstanding candidate for nomination on the Republican ticket. Opposing him among the Democrats were Upton Sinclair and George Creel After abitter fight, Merriam was nominated on the G O. P. ticket and Sinclair landslided in on the Demecratic nomination. The public had swung from the right wing Republicanism of Rolph to Sinclair’s radical EPIC platform, ashe received more votes at the primaries than Merriam. The combination of a lack of support from his party henchmen-and a_ withering attack by the press was enough to swing back public sentiment in the three months between the primaries and the general election to the conservative-progressive platform of the Republicans. Taking the 850,000 votes cast for Sinclair as_a hint, Merriam veered on a decided progressive tack after his election and has followed Roosev¥elt’s policy very closely in formulating his plans. Merriam Kept Rusy Lately, the governor has been active reorganizing the state departments, paring down salaries whenever possible and limiting state officials to 310,000 a year. In his own council, made up of heads of the various state departments, Merriam has retained eleven of the original council appointed by Rolph, making only feur appointments: Florence Turner, director of social welfare; Arlin. E. Stockburger; finance director; Harry L.utgens, di rector of state institutions; Thomas. M. Foley, chairman veterans welfare. In formulating his executive budget, the new zovernor found himself fac ing requests for $398,000,000, which is the largest amount evei asked to be included in a California budget. Of this figure, $173,000,000 must be bud: geted as it includes the total fixed charges over which the Legislature has no control. Only the vote of the people can alter this total and the pub lic has signified that it does not want it lowered. The last Rolph budget, considered unusually large for the financial condition of the state, was $345,000,000. Unemployment relief is another problem which is equally urgent in California. Several bills on this issue will be presented The Legislature must make necessary arrangements so that those out of work can receive im-. mediate benefit :.from the $24,000,000 bond issue voted at the last election Of course this sum is entirely separate from budget funds and is handled sep arately as money voted by the people. Reviewing StatCivics For those whose state civics is a little rusty, a brief resume of the setup of California’s government will aid materially in understanding how the government is functioning at Sacra mento. At the head of the setup, of course, is the governor, elected for a four-year term and to receive $10,000 per year during his term of office. He heads the executive branch of the government. The legislative, or law-passing — 1 , ; a much like the houses of Congrass: branches, consist of a state Legislature made up of two houses, a bicameral political group, a Senate and an Assembly. These two houses are organized In choosing members for the state Senate, California is broken up into 40 senatorial districts, the districts apportioned by counties, not more than one senator coming from one county. Since there are 58 counties, several of the districts include more than one of . them. Half of the 40 senators are elected every two years for a four-year term. , The assemblymen are all elected for two-year terms, there being 80 assembly districts in California, apoprtioned by population, each district having one assemblyman as representative. Regular sessions of the Legislature are held biennially, beginning on the first Monday after January first of each odd-numbered year. Special sessions may be called by the governor. Since 1913 the regular sessions have been ‘bifurcated,’ ’that is, the Legislature has convened for not more than 30 days, followed by a recess of not less than 30 days. Then the Legislature convenes again, this part of the session having no time limit, although usually lasting 60 or 70 days, Present indications show that this session will last longer, even though assemblymen are limited to two bills apiece which they can submit .during the second period. Even then the bills may be introduced only by the consent of threefourths of the members of the house in which it is presented. Each legislator receives. a yearly salary of $1200, plus traveling expenses. No extra salary is paid for attending syecial sessions. Heutenant-governor, provided he be:. longs to the majority part of that house. In this year’s Assembly the Republicans have a bare majority. The presiding officer appoints all standing committees. As practically all the work in the Legislature is done by these committees, the job is an important and powerful one. The Senate has over . 40 such committees. Each senator is a member of about ten such groups. The Assembly Speaker is elected by assemblymen, and requires a majority vote, under a new law, to gain his office. In other words, at least 41 assemblymen must favor him. In this house there are about 60 comnelttees, . all members of which are appointed by the speaker. Bills to Flood Houses As for bills (conservative estimates session) a majority of the elected members of each house is required to pass them. That is, 41 must favor them in “Presiding over the Senate is the ' say nearly 1500 will be passed at this . NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the Matter of the Ernest DePratti, Deceased.

After passage by both houses, the bills i are sent to the governor who either . signs or vetoes them. If they are . signed, they become laws. A veto { means that a bill must be passed through both houses again, but by a two-thirds majority. In 1913 the Legislature created a legislative counsel bureau of five members, one of which may be the governor. The remaining members are chosen, two by each house, and each representing a majority party of each house. In other words, no two may be of the same party from the same house. This bureau assists legislators prepare bills. We have discussed the governor and Legislature. Now we come to another branch of state government, one which ties in with both departments al. ready outlined. This is the governor’s ! council. 1 { j ‘cameeaerithain cei Sebel ai To carry on routine activities, to regulate business and to administer to growing humanitarian needs, the Leg! islative has created since 1880 150 of. . fices, boards and commissions. More than 50 appeared during four sessions, 1911-1917. Mounting expenditures led } to complaints from tax associations . and the press that over-lapping and { extravagance were the characteristics . of the “Forty Fat Commissions.” This . criticism strengthened public disapproval against the system which was . finally changed in 1919. . The myriad committees were amal2 1 gamated into a few large departments . with department heads appointed by ; the governor, forming.a cabinet simi5 lar to the President’s. It is the duty of the governor once a month and make reports on how the businesses, industries or institutions under thelr supervisions are progressing. These directors may formulate and have bills presented to the Legislature. Another branch of state government ! which must be considered during the legislative session is the board of equalization, which is the tax collecting body of California. This discussion, in brief, outlines the setup at Sacramento and the functionings of the various political units. \ Many Bills Ready As the lczislators took their seats Monday, most of them believe increase in taxes are inevitable, although they realiz when such increases materialize. The public is watching proceedirgs with much interest and will be quick to react against any false move in tax raises, although it is believed they will sanction justified raises. Governor Merriam in his recent radio address has taken pains to explain the the 14 department heads to meet with : the danger of political suicide { STEEP NEVADA COUNTY .

This is the governor’s ! council. 1 { j ‘cameeaerithain cei Sebel ai To carry on routine activities, to regulate business and to administer to growing humanitarian needs, the Leg! islative has created since 1880 150 of. . fices, boards and commissions. More than 50 appeared during four sessions, 1911-1917. Mounting expenditures led } to complaints from tax associations . and the press that over-lapping and { extravagance were the characteristics . of the “Forty Fat Commissions.” This . criticism strengthened public disapproval against the system which was . finally changed in 1919. . The myriad committees were amal2 1 gamated into a few large departments . with department heads appointed by ; the governor, forming.a cabinet simi5 lar to the President’s. It is the duty of the governor once a month and make reports on how the businesses, industries or institutions under thelr supervisions are progressing. These directors may formulate and have bills presented to the Legislature. Another branch of state government ! which must be considered during the legislative session is the board of equalization, which is the tax collecting body of California. This discussion, in brief, outlines the setup at Sacramento and the functionings of the various political units. \ Many Bills Ready As the lczislators took their seats Monday, most of them believe increase in taxes are inevitable, although they realiz when such increases materialize. The public is watching proceedirgs with much interest and will be quick to react against any false move in tax raises, although it is believed they will sanction justified raises. Governor Merriam in his recent radio address has taken pains to explain the the 14 department heads to meet with : the danger of political suicide { STEEP NEVADA COUNTY .
