A public ownership action in the Assembly failed, 48 to 32, to over-ride Governor Merriam veto of the Nielsen bill permitting political subdivisions, upon a majority vote of the people, to issue revenue bonds and acquire or establish municipal utility projects. Forty-six favorable votes were cast to over-ride but 54, or two-thirds, were needed.

The measure was attacked by Sen ators J. C. Garrison of Stanislaus County, Chris Jesperson of San Luis1 Obispo County and Thomas Scollan of Sacramento County. Jesperson charged that lobbyists would dominate the convention, while Harrison argued that the present Constitution had been 58 years in the making and some of its satisfactory features might be lost. Scollan feared "special interests" would make their influence felt in framing a new Constitution.

CALLED FAnt BILL "The arguments you people are making now should have been made to the voters before last November's election," said Senator Andrew Schottky of Merced County. "I was not in favor of a Constitutional convention. I voted against it. But the people gave us a mandate and I think, under the circumstances, this is a fair bill." The Assembly had previously spent several days on the same issue, arguing over features of a bill for a Constitutional convention proposed by Assemblyman E. V.

"He recommended an income tax in his budget message at rates one-third those of the Federal law." "If you want to stand by the Governor." replied Williamson, "then let me say that this compromise is agreeable to the Governor. The tax experts tell us this will raise from $20,000,000 to $22,000,000, but I personally think it may raise as much as $25,000,000. In its original form the Chatters bill would have raised $28,000,000." "The Governpr did recommend a rate one-third of the ederal law, but we wanted only $17,500,000 per biennium from this tax source," said Assemblyman Cliff Cottrell of San Jose, addressing McCarthy.
