The Legislature, having been in session four months without solving any major problems, it is fitting that someone inject some humorinto the proceedings. For that we can be indebted to Assemblyman Mike Cullen who has advanced the notion that the ‘state should move its capitol. Cullen hasn’t disclosed where he would relocate the seat of government. At the moment he is merely seeking some support to pull out of Sacramento, a city he feels is unfriendly to the lawmakers. It could be that, as a retired navy captain, Cullen would favor his hometown of Long Beach. That city can lay claim to having the largest municipal navy in the world by virtue of its ownership of the Queen’ Mary. It also has started a ‘nucleus of state government within its boundaries by prevailing. upon the State College Trustees to locate its headquarters there. This was done without authorization and without capital outlay appropriations from the Legislature. ‘Cullen. says his proposal is appropriate at this time since the state is about to embark upon the rebuilding of its century old Capitol to make it earthquake proof. This is being done despite the fact that, since such records have been kept, “Sacramento has been virtually unaffected by earthquakes. And, ‘if te is to build an eare proof new Capitol it would hardly then matter if it were located in Long Beach which has been the focal point ofseveral large scale earthquakes in the state’s short history. Besides, if the Queen Mary or some discarded battleship were converted into a Capitol it would be immune from quake damage, as long as it remained afloat. In fairness to Cullen, he hasn’t mentioned Long Beach or the Queen Mary or even a discarded heavy cruiser. He has talked about some place more centrally located, such as Mariposa.

And ‘‘centra ” was in relationship to population, not the geographical center. Thus, we have Washington D.C. as we have Sacramento, established in locales which were at the time regarded as being equi-distant to the majority of the people. Time has changed all that and the nation’s capital today would nore appropriately meet that test if it were situated in perhaps Chicago. As for California, Fresno might be closer to being the true population center. It is also fairly close to being the geographical center. But, it is almost as certain as Foolish Pleasure in the Kentucky Derby that, once it was agreed to dislocate the state Capitol . it would end up somewhere near Disneyland, give or take 2 miles in any direction. It was this very fact which obstructed the removal of the seat of government from Sacramento back in the 30’s: At that time Samuel F.B. Morse, the ‘“‘duke’’ of Del Monte, was possessed of the dream to restore Monterey as California’s capital city. To this end he offered a choice hillside property overlooking Monterey Bay as a gift if the state would bring the Capitol back. Legislation was introduced ‘several times by Senator Edward H. Tickle, landlord of the Carmel Highlands Inn. Each time, as Tickle’s bill gathered support, the ugly spectre of it ending up in Los Angeles was raised to defeat it.
