House bill 159, the new "cow bill"
 which inherits all the peculiarities of
 vetoed house bill 54, bobbed up for
 third reading and final passage in the
 house early in the morning hour yes
 terday. The original bill, as intro- duced by MT Moore, has lost its ideh-
 tity since the corpse of the defunct 54
 was attached to it. The speed with
 which this substitute has grown shows how things can be done when the ma-
 jority is well organized for raid. This substitute was introduced Monday
 morning in committee of the whole It
 does not amend a section of the orig
 inal bill, but simply takes it's place.
 The original bill was on order of sec
 ond reading, and the amendment as
 the substitute was called, took its place
 in that order. The amended" bill
 was recommended to pass, and to all
 intents and purposes a bill had been introduced without consent and ad- vanced to third reading in twenCy-four
 hours. When the substitute was pre-
 Sented Monday the feeble sheepmen
 were so taken by surprise that they scarcely registered a protest The full force of it had dawned upon them by yesterday morning and they made what
 resistance they could. During the last reading of the bill MT. Parr demanded that the original bill be read; that the clerk was reading a new bill, evidently substitute for the original, and he
 wanted Bo know by wha AIight this suDotI, ,utsa' 'nad been presented.f
 MT. Benham, with his lead pencil pointed at MT. Parr, called his atten- tion to the record of the bill. which showed that it had been amended in whole committee, read twice, was en- crossed and was now on its passage. Like the drowning man and the straw MT. Parr moved to adjourn, and with the same chance as the clawless cat in purgatory MT. Gonzales moved to re- commit
 Speaker Ashurst took the floor, and, while the subject of Arizona cattle and California sheep did not warrant such an effort, he proceeded to do the "Driney," with the tremolo stoD pulled out He appealed to the young men with political records yet to make, and to the old members, who had nothing. but snow upon their locks that would not melt until the heat of-paradise, he this bill. He viewed the wickedness of the COW men with profound SOL row." it was most ubiquitous bill'' and to support it should bring the blush of shame to their checks.
 MT. Benham, the leader of the cow boys, replied in the same heroic vein as Mr. Ashurst. He took the blush of stack. There was a time when the cattlemen of Maricopa could blush. That was when there was grass and water holes and other evidences of but now-well, now "the blush of shame comes no more" h. stead of the blush of shame on the cat tlemen's cheeks, ne now saw "the white pallor of starvation eEveloping our herds" This was excellent and ere ated enthusiasm in the lobby. The mental picture of a long-horned roan steer racing over the desert bawlirg for water and streaked with the white pallor of starvation. brought 10 mInd Chief Clerk Trippel's almond orchard in bloom during sand storm.
 Chaplain Scott felt no Christian charity nor equity tugging at his heart strings. He would have to vote against he sheep as a pure matter of business. As to the blush of shame, he had had nyriads of bills under consideration n the house, most of which had been postponed so indefinitely tha- they wouldn't be in sight on the judgment lay. but he hadn't seen any Dlushes while the job was being done, and Speaker Ashurst was generally in the

 MT Pace objected to the language he lad heard. which he had a right to dc, nd then the roll was called on the assage of the bill with this result: Iyes Adams, Bartleson, Benham, 'rown, Etz, Evans, Gray, Hale, linus.
