Two Un-American Measures.
There are before the Legislature of California two measures which every lover of religious liberty ought to study candidly, seriously, and so studying he will oppose. The first is Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 2, the title of which is as follows: “A RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XX OF THE CONSTITUTION BY ADDING A NEW SECTION THERETO TO BE KNOWN AS SECTION 21, RELATING TO A DAY OF REST.” It was introduced by Mr. Grove L. Johnson, of Sacramento, Jan. 8, 1909. The other is Assembly Bill No. 37. This was also introduced by Mr. Johnson, January 8, and referred to the Committee on Public Morals. The title reads as follows: TO AMEND THE PENAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW CHAPTER TO TITLE IX OF PART I THEREOF; TO PRESERVE ONE DAY IN THE WEEK AS A DAY OF REST, AND TO PROMOTE HEALTH, MORALS, AND THE PUBLIC WELFARE.” Both of these will be considered next week.
