    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.

  • Into Law a Bill Making It Illegal for Places of Public Accommodation and Amusement to Discriminate on the Basis of Race.' It Was California's First Civil Rights Law
    CALIFORNIA CARPETBAGGER: THE CAREER OF HENRY DIBBLE Charles MeClain* I. INTRODUCTION On March 13, 1897, Governor James Budd of California signed into law a bill making it illegal for places of public accommodation and amusement to discriminate on the basis of race.' It was California's first civil rights law. The measure, as passed, was watered down from its original form. As originally introduced by Republican Assemblyman Henry C. Dibble of San Francisco, the bill made discrimination a criminal offense.2 As passed, it simply gave victims of discrimination the right to sue for civil damagcs.3 Without a criminal provision, the law had much less force and one wonders what impact those who voted for it expected it to have. Still, it cannot be insignificant that, almost ten months after the United States Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson,4 which endorsed a state's right to segregate on the basis of race, 5 the California legislature passed a law making some forms of segregation illegal, and by a very large margin. Henry C. Dibble, the author and chief promoter of the civil rights * Recently Retired Vice Chair of the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, School of Law, University of California at Berkeley; Professor of American Legal History, University of California at Berkeley.

  • Clemency in California Capital Cases
    Clemency in California Capital Cases Mary-Beth Moylant and Linda E. Cartert INTRODUCTION This article is a survey of procedures and reasoning involved in California clemency in the context of the death penalty. Though the article is principally descriptive in nature, our analysis includes some prescriptive recommendations. This article grew from a report that we prepared at the request of the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice. We undertook a study of clemency in capital cases throughout the years of California's use of the death penalty.2 Our goal was to provide the Commission with as much information as possible about the procedures and reasons for granting or denying clemency in capital cases. In addition to researching documentary materials, we also interviewed many individuals who have been involved in capital clemency 3 proceedings and policy. t Director, Global Lawyering Skills Program, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.

The California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice was created by a State Senate Resolution in 2004 and charged with: (1) [Studying] and [reviewing] the administration of criminal justice in California to determine the extent to which that process has failed in the past, resulting in wrongful executions or the wrongful conviction of innocent persons; (2) [Examining] ways of providing safeguards and making improvements in the way the criminal justice system functions; and (3) [Making] any recommendations and proposals designed to further ensure that the application and administration of criminal justice in California is just, fair, and accurate..
