What was California's first State proposition? When did it happen? Did it pass?

Just Curious.

In 1910 , progressive Republican Hiram Johnson was elected govenor along with numerous candidates for the legislature of the same persuasion. In 1911, they enacted measures providing for state-wide initiative, referendum and recall as well as many other reforms. I don't know about number 1, but this should be a place to start.
