Some of the communications reoeived hero were unveiled threats against tho political fu-tare of nsseinblymcn.

Two of the measures provide de tails of how the "evidence" of ability to pay shall be shown and requires that an applicant for mo tor vehicle registration shall state to the division of tnotor vehicles whether or not he carries liability insurance. SEEKS RECONSIDERATION. Senator J. M.

Inman of Sacra mento gave notice that he would move reconsideration of A. B. 69Q which makes the state, counties and cities liable for the negligence of officers and employees driving publicly owned vehicles. Inman objected after the bill had been passed, declaring such a measure would "bankrupt" the political sub-divisions ot the state." The owner ot a car is made 11a ble for the damage done by an other driving his car with his "express or implied permission" under the terms of A. B.

696, and appli cants 'for chauffeur's license are required to submit a statement of any conviction under the motor vehlole laws at the time he makes application by provisions ot A.

Garrison of Modesto prohibiting red lights, other than a traffic danger signal of some sort to be display e4 on or along a highway, was enacted. The sleepy solons then approached one of the veterans' -program bills, passing a measure providing for the creation ot a state emergency council of nine to be composed of state officials, one American Legionnaire, one Red Cross members, one transportation representative and two members to be chosen from business organisations.

The council is Intended to organize and plan to meet any great emergency that may confront the state In the future and function when that emergency arises. TWO APPROPRIATIONS. Two appropriation measures mtt with senatorial approval. One measure by Senator Ray Jones of Marysville, appropriates 3150,000 to "enable the state to get out of the land settlement business at Delhi and Durham."

No person too young to come under the provisions of the bill. The present legal age is 18 for A of la TYRANNY ATTEMPTED "But following the failure of the resolution last week, the members of the assembly were subjected to a. campaign of at- tempted tyranny In which poll-tics could.be discerned and any legislator of independence naturally resents.

The attempt of group of chain newspapers to crack tbe whip over the legislature has failed, and it would fail just as surely were It exerted In behalf of measure of unquestioned merit. That Is not the way to effect legislation, even good legislation." The outcome of the fight Is- viewed by observers here as example of how not to do legls-y lative politics.
