IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL?

The Law Appropriating Money forthe World's Fair.

Can the $300,000 bo Expended by the

Commissioners—Synopsis

of the Briefs.

There is now on hearing before the Su-preme Court of this State a very interest-ing proceeding, involving the question ofthe constitutionality of the so-calledWorld's Fair bill. The last Legislaturepassed an Act appropriating the sum of$.'500,000 to pay the expenses of maintain-ing an exhibit of the products of thoState of California, and for the purpose ofproperly representing the State at theWorld's Columbian Exposition to boheld in Chicago in 1«!«, and also provid-ing for the appointment of seven Com-missioners, one each from the Con-gressional Districts of tho State, whoshould constitute the World's Fair Com-mission. At the time of the passage ofthis Act by the Legislature, there wasand still fa a wide divergence of opinionboth as to the policy of the Act and as toits constitutionality. In accordance withthe provisions of the Act the Governorappointed tho requisite number of Com-missioners, who have given tho necos--i;y bonds and have proceeded vigor-ously upon tho discharge of their dutiesLts such Commissioners. Among otheritems of expense is one of $85 for rent ofan oilice used by the California World'sFair Commission.

Demand was made by the commissionon the State Controller for a warrant onthe Treasurer to pay tins amount, whichthe Controller refused to issue. TheWorld's Fair Commission thon com-menced a proceeding in mandamus tocompel E. P. Colgan, State Controller, toissue the said warrant, and the case isnow before the Supreme Court upon ademurrer to plaintiff's petition.

The point relied upon by defendant, ina brief lately filed, is that the Act of tho.Legislature creating the commission amigranting tho appropriation is unconsti-tutional, and cites Article IV., Section 2^,Of the State Constitution, viz:

**Nomoney shall ever be appropriatedor drawn from the State Treasury for theuse (or benefit) of any corporation, asso-

iation, asylum or hospital, or any otherinstitution not under the exclusive man-agement and control ofthe State as a State

itution, nor shall any grant or dona-tion ofproperty ever bo made thereto bythe State."

"Article IV., Section 31. The Legisla-ture shall have no power to give or lendthe credit of tho State in aid ofany per-non, association or corporation, whethermunicipal or otherwise, or to pledge thecredit thereof in any manner whateverfor the payment of liabilities of any in-dividual, association, municipal or othercorporation whatever, nor shall it hare thepower to make any gift, or authorize themaking of any gift, of any public moneyor thing of value to any \u25a0tinlirulual, mu-nicipal, or other corporation, whatever."

"Article IV., Section 3ii. The Legisla-ture shallhave no power • * • topay,or authorize the payment of any claimhereafter created against the state'under any agreement or contract made•without express authority of law, andall such unauthorized agreements or con-tracts shall be null and void."

[The italics arc ours.]The defendant contends that the legis-

lative Act is inhibited by the foregoingprovisions of the Constitution for threereasons:

First—The management and control.•md the "work and object" in view arenot exclusively in the State as a State in-stitution.

Second—This Act carried out accordingto its own terms aids a private corpora-tion.

Third—The use of the appropriation isnot a public uso.

In support of the first contention de-fendant urges:

That the Act of Congress providing forthe World's Fair in etlect says that the< 'alilornia Commission cannot exclu-sively or at all control and manago herexhibits or her products in the Colum-bian Exposition, to do which the |900,000was appropriated—but that uuder saidAct of Congress the NationalCommissionWill have almost complete control of thoexhibition, prepare and classify exhibits,determine the i>!an and scope ofthe exhi-bition, ana generally have charge of allIIntercourse with the exhibitors and therepresentatives offoreign nations.

That the National Commission and theCalifornia Commission cannot each at

-aine time have exclusive controlmanagement of the California ex-

hibit, and lor that reason alone the Act isplainly unoonstitution.il.

That the commission must do a largopart of its work outside of the State'slimits.

That California, under the guise of ex-pepding money fora State institution, ist-.muz u> expend itunder three authori-ties: 1. General laws of Illinois. 2. I n-<. v the law a and regulations of Congress.•':. Under the by-law powers ofa privateIllinois corporation. Itselfsubject to tholocal Legislature's future control.

In support ofthe second point made byadant, "that this Act. carried out ;u:-Ltngtoits <»un terms,aids \u25a0 private

corporation," defendant argues:That there is a private corporation tn |

Chicago which virtually controls th<-World's Fair.That this corporation will control us

Xhibitors, and then asks and answerstho pertinent question, "'Who can controlthis Illinois corporation?" "Nobodybut its Directors and the Legislatureti r."

That there is no moans of knowing orcotapeUing this iprivate corporation ofi ing and expending the Sli 1,000,000 jrailed for by the Ait of Congress.

That the California Commission, by !Obtaining the consent of the National ICommission to select a site for their build-ing, -have thus (airlyconceded thr- supe-rior authority of the National Conun\u25a0ion.

[n support of tho third contention oflefenaant—"the use of theappropria-Is not a public use" be argues that I

• ion can only be for a public UTho right to tax depends upon the ulti-. purpose and omd for whichthe fund is raised. While it may be true,as contended for by plaintiff, thai Stateadvertisement is desirable and that theultimate object of this expenditure is t. attention to the resources, greatness,grandeur and possibilities of our State,

the State's money can only be ;;In Sid ofa public project—an object whichis within the purposes for which govern- Imentsare established—and that tho ex-penditure of this appropriation of thepeople's money would be an arbitraryexercise of power—• violation of the< onstitutionai rights of those from whomthe money is taken. And an unjustifiableusurpation.

iiii: oomxssioirros* nThe plaintiff contends that the Act of

the Legislature creating the commissionand appropriating ss'ioo.ooa for tho pur-- therein mentioned hi constitutional.

Thai the Legislature bas the same un-limited power of legislation that resides Ii;i the British Parliament except as

Ined by the provisions of the State\u25a0 onfttitutions.

\ i c rtainly does not violate. • \u25a0• n3l of Article IV.ntitution.

I ure h:-.s not loaned tho' it.' in :i\.\ at any person or

r lon, municipal orruiso. The State has created no

j dgc. It ha* n.>t made a gifttoanymoney appropriated Is t->

1 c us<'! For purchasing materials, etc. for IState, i!,,. titl< to w Inch tho

uniissioners i» ing simplythe porchasine or contracting agents.

That tit. \ : ,v not violate any ofthe provisions ofSection 330f Article IV.,for the appropriation is not nads top*yany claim again*! the State under anagreement or contract made without ox-j. rc«s authority of law.

That the Commissioners are only au-

thorized to expend the money whenthey have entered into contracts for theState for its benefit, and have receivedvaluable consideration. Upon such con-tracts they are to pay the money.

That the State becomes the owner ofthe materials and the buildings to beerected to exhibit the whole products ofCalifornia.

The display is also under State control,so far an the Legislature has chosen to en-act, and where not so it certainly may besubjected to such absolute control when-ever the Legislature chooses.

This commission is not created for pe-cuniary profit, but for tho benefit of thoState. Tho Commissioners are simplythe agents of the State for making con-tracts on the part of the State and for dis-bursiug the money of the Slate uponsuch contracts for the State. ,

The objection made to the expenditureof the money in question could equallywell be made to the expenditure of allmoneys appropriated for the maintenanceof State institutions, prisons, asylums,etc.

As to the contention of defendant thatthe Stato cannot own, control or managean institution outside of the State, the,commission urges that this State and allStates have at all times and must neces-sarily carry on institutions outside of theState.

That the State has sent an agent toAustralia to procure parasites for the pro-tection of fruit trees.

That physicians are sent out of theState to conventions of health officers ofthe various States to ascertain the bestinodo of treating epidemic diseases.

That these Acts and appropriations havenever been questioned, notwithstandingall the powers of these various Stateagents have been exercised outside of theState.

The plaintiffurges that this appropria-tion is not a gift, and that the State hasthe undoubted right to expend money todisplay its products.

That there is nothing in the argumentthat some of the money may be improp-erly expended. The courts willprcsumothat every State officer will perform hisdoty according to law.

The chief objection made to the Ace isthat the building will be erected on landnot owned by the State. In answer tothis tho Supreme Court of this State, inMcCauley vs. Brooks, 10 Cal. 11, has de-cided that there is nothing in the Consti-tution prohibiting tho State from erectinga building on leased ground, hence thecourt must presume that the Commis-sioners willlease or obtain a right to oc-cupy space in Chicago at such feasibleand practicable point as they may selectfor the State building. The State willown the building, and may remove thesame at the termination of the exposition.

This Act is not special legislation, andnot in violation of any of the provisionsof Section 25 of Article IV. of the Consti-tution. The appropriation is for theState, not for any individual. Never be-fore did anyone .contend that an appro-priation to a State Fair was special legis-lation. The expenditure is for the bene-fit of the State.

The brief of the Attorney-General,from which this argument for the plaint-iff is largely taken, shows that a Verylarge proportion of the States of theUnion have appropriated large sums forthe very purpose of making Stato exhib-its at the World's Fair.

In the discussion of this* case eachparty has cited numerous and well-con-sidered authorities in support of the va-rious positions assumed by them.

While the amount at stake in this pro-ceeding is a very Insignificant one, stillupon the decision of this case rests thevalidity of the Act of the Legislaturecreating the commission, and appropri-ating money for the California State ex-hibit at the World's Columbian Exhibi-tion. The decision of the Supreme Courtwill be awaited with anxiety by many,and with much curiosity and interest byall.

A BURGLAR.

Major Ennis and His Family Startledat Night.

j The Thief Ringed Out with a Mask,

a, Bnll's-ey© I^antern andan Ulster.

When burglars steal anything IromMajor Enuis' home, it willbe on someoc-casionwhen the Major is not in the im-mediate vicinity of the house. He has

! always said so, and an experience whichhe had early Thursday morning at hisresidence, on Eighteenth and 0 streets,proves that he is a man of his word, butthat he relies to a great extent on the as-

| sistance of his wife.\u25b2bout half-past 1 o'clock Thursday

morning, Mrs. Ennis awoke and noticeda dim light in a room adjoining the bed-room. She thought at first that it wasone of the family, and rather faintly asked"ifthat was Scott," hor son. Receivingno reply, she arose and walked to thedoor, and, to her horror, saw that it was aburglar. The man was very tall, worean ulster of light colored material, and amask, and had his feet wrapped withcloths. 1!< carried a bull's-eye lantern fnbis hand, but the moment he saw Mrs.Knnis standing in the doorway he turnedthe light out and rushed towards the backpart of the house.

Mrs. Bnnis awoke her husband, and,pistol in hand, he started in pursuit, butdid not even get a glance at the burglar.The rear window offthe kitchen and theback door were found open, showing thatthe thief entered through the window andthen opened the door, in order to make ahurries! exit in case of an emergency—aprecaution that proved to bo a very wiseone on this occasion.

The thief did not take anything fromthe house with him in his flight.

Major Ennis says he would have givenflOtothe executors of tho burglar's es- Itate just to have gotten one shot at him.Some of his friends who claim to knowwhat kind of a pistol the Major owns,say, however, that tho weapon has notbad a load iv it for years.

Mrs. Ennis was quite badly frightened,bnt effectively recovered from the shockwhen her husband wonderingiy remarkedthat the thief must have been some fellowwho had seen him make a %i "killing" attho Golden Eagle a few hours before.

INCOMPLETE RECORDS.

The Chairman of the SupervisorsFinds Considerable Fault.

Clork Ithonds Kicks Back—That Hicks-

vlllo Bridge Affaln—TroubloOvor a Folsom Alley.

The Board of Supervisors resumed itssession yesterday, all the members beingpresent and Chairman Greer presiding.

When Clerk Khoads read the minutesof the previous day's session, the Chair-man complained that they were not fullenough. lie recollected many little mat-ters that had come before the board andno mention was made of them in theclerk's record.

HE KICKKD BACK.Clerk Rhoads did not take kindly to

this. "1 am not a shorthand reporter!"he said, "and am not able to take all thetalk that this board indulges in."

"What about the reports from the dif-ferent committees yesteiday?" asked theChairman.

"They were all oral and in the form of ageneral talk between the members. Ifthe Chairman of tho committees will sub-mit their reports in writing they will ap-pear on the minutes, but I am unable totake a report which winds up in a halfhour's discussion."

Chairman Greer wished to submit thematter to the hoard. He thought at allevents tho minutes should hereafter bemore explicit.

But as the other members of the boardwere not paying much attention to whatwas going on the matter was droppedwithout any action being taken. Mr.Khoads assured the Chairman, however,that he would do the best he could withthe minutes.

TROUBLES AT FOLSOM.Tho remainder of the forenoon session j

was taken up in examining tbe monthlybills against the county. At the after-noon session the long-standing difficultybetween Dr. Lyons ;>.ni widow Hanlon ofFolsom came up for hearing again. It Iappears that an alley had once dividedthe property of these two persons, butDr. Lyons closed it up and used it for agarden. Mrs. Hanlon appealed to theSupervisors several times to have thealley reopened, but nothing was everdone in the matter. Mrs. Hanlon claimedthat by reason of the doctor's usurpationshe was unable to get water on to herplace and was otherwise inconvenienced.

A letter from Dr. Lyons was receivedyesterday stating that the writer had noobjection to parties running water forirrigation purposes through his lots, and jthat the claim of Mrs. Hanlon that he re-fused to give her such permission was aslander on him.

After considerable discussion on thesubject the board decided to order thealley opened.

THAT HICKBVILLEBRIDGE.The repairs on the Hicksvillo bridge

were the subject of another talk yester-day. In going over a pile of bills Mr.Bates came across one for |282 for E. S,Barry of Elk Grove. This was for a partof the work done on the bridge.

When the Road Committee reported tothe board several weeks ago that thisbridge was in a dangerous condition, itwas also reported that the repairs wouldnot cost over §150 at the most. The boardauthorized Chairman Jenkins of thecommittee to have the work done, butplaced no limit on the amount to be paidout.

Naturally, when a bill for 8282 for onlya part of the work came up yesterdaythere was a howl from the other membersof the board.

Mr. Jenkins explained that the amountof repairs needed had been under-esti-

jmated. A great many timbers were rot-ten and needed replacing, which had notbeen noticed by the committee.

Mr. Bates said he supposed the countywas now at the mercy of ContractorBarry. The latter could string the workout so that it would last until next year.The work, he thought, should have beengiven out by contract in the first place.

TO EXAMIXD IT.Chairman Greer suggested that it would

be wise for tho Road Committee to visitthe bridge again and ascertain exactlywhat further work was necessary. Hethought that the committee should lookinto the matter Monday.

There was considerable desultory dis- !cussion on the subject. Mr. Bates said he '•would not go Monday, nor at all. Hehad seen the bridge and knew all about it.

Itwas finally agreed, however, that the jcommittee should visit the bridge sometime during next week.

After the discussion was all over, Mr.Jenkins announced that he had receiveda letter from Contractor Barry in whichthe latter stated that tho bridge would befinished by tho end of this week.

"Why didn't you say something aboutthat belore, and save us all of this wind?"said Chairman Greer, turning away indifgust.

The committee willexamine the bridgejust the same.

After examining some more bills theboard adjourned until the 20th inst.

Trades Unions and Apprentices.Eds. Rkcord-Uvion : I have read

with much interest the opening addressof Hon. Frederick Cox, President of theState Agricultural Society, delivered atthe Pavilion on Thursday evening, andpublished in the Record-Union of yes-terday morning. The address is able andscholarly, but there are soino sentencesin it to which Icrave space in your col-umns to briefly call attention. In speak-ing oi the tendency of boys and youngmen to leave rural. occupations andseek employment in towns and cities,Mr. Cox says:

"He sinks into the clerkship or learnstho mere rudiments of a trade from whichhe never rises. « * * The power of

the trades unions prevents tho majorityof our boys from learning trades."

Tho first portion of this quotation is atruism, and tho exceptions thereto arescarcely one in a thousand. But it is tothe misleading or rather disparaging as-sertion of the last portion of the extractthat Iwish to direct attention.

Mr. Cox is a clear-headed and far-sighted business man, • but, likethe majority of men iv successful busi-ness life, ho has failed to inform himselfofthe true attitude of trades unions withregard to apprentices. From a some-what familiar knowledge of the motivesand rules of these useful associations Ican stato that their governing motive inlimiting the number of appren-tices to a certain percentage of thejourneymen employed is to overcome thedeadly blight which otherwise would fallupon every branch of skilled laborwhere the master only gives the appren-tice the "mere rudiments of a trade," inreturn for from live to seven years' faith-ful service. We maintain that the em-ployer shall teach the apprentice everybranch of his calling and send him forththoroughly equipped to maintain thehonor and skill of his occupation.

What Mr. Cox says in another portionofhis add ress inregard to man a who plantshundreds of acres in fruit—that "he issimply a gambler for quantity not qual-ity, and a detriment to the State" —willapply with two-fold force to the employerwho desires to employ twenty apprenticesto one journeyman. A market gluttedwith poor and undesirable fruit is nothalf so injurious to the State as a labormarket overstocked with men who haveonly half learned the trades by whichthey seek to earn a livelihood.

Tho relation of master and apprentice isreciprocal; the apprentice gives a numberofyears ofhis young manhood to his em-ployer, in return for which the employeris required by the laws of trade unions,and by justice and equity, to turn him outa master of his calling, not a "botch,"who will always be compelled to workfor such pittance as the greed of tho own-ers of large and slip-shod establishmentschoose to give him. It takes as muchtime to learn to be a good mechanic as itdoes to be a doctor or lawyer, and he whoattempts to teach a boy a trade should,take as much pride in thoroughly equip-ping him in his vocation as a legal ormedical institution does in tho attain-ments of theirpupils. In conclusion, I

| maintain that trade unions are the bestfriends apprentices can have.

M'COMBER MINORS.The Guardianship Contest Settled —

Jackson AVihs.Tho contest over the guardianship'of

the McComber minors was disposed of bySuperior Judge Van Fleet yesterday.

There were two petitions for letters ofguardianship, one filed by Miss Phillips,a niece of the deceased, and A. A. Jack-son, McComber's brother-in-law. Mc-Coniber, it will be remembered, was aresident of Folsom, and was mentallyp.nbalanced for some time before hisdeath. While in that condition Jacksonwas appointed his guardian.

In the court yesterday tho three oldestMcComber children took tho witness-stand and stated that they preferredJackson as their guardian/ The twoyoungest ones were not permitted to tes-tify, but said they wanted to go with Miss 4Phillips.

Judge Van Fleet said ho did not feeldisposed to divide the family up, andissued letters of guardianship to Jackson.

The estate is worth about 320,000.

ROW IN A SALOON.Warrants of Arrest for the Two Par-

ties Who Engaged in It.An intoxicated individual, who swore

that he never touched a drop of liquor inhis life, came to City Attorney Hart yes-terday morning and caused a warrant tobe issued charging tho proprietor of asaloon on Seventh and E streets withbattery.

The complainant said his name was P.H. Ellsworth, and he claimed that thesaloon-keeper beat him with a club. Hedid not know why tho assault was com-mitted, but in answer to questions by theCity Attorney ho admitted having re-ferred to the saloon-keeper's wife in veryindecent language.

Shortly after Ellsworth left tho Station-house the proprietor of the saloon sworeto a complaint charging him with dis-turbing tho peace.

Norton and Little Satisfied.Tbe cases of John Norton and Stove

Little, the two men who tried to shooteach other on Second street several nightsago, were dismissed in the Polico Courtyesterday. Neither defendant wanted totestify against the other and they sostated in court.

Notwithstanding the fact that the dif-ferences between the two men weresettled and each agreed not to prosecutethe other, the peace was disturbod andfirearms wero discharged within the citylimits.
