 The insurance bill passed the council | yesterday by a vote of 8 to f. It goes
 to the governor direct, for the amend
 ments adopted yesterday put the bill in the shape it came from the house, and there are no amendments in which
 the house may concur. The bill, as it
 came from the house, provides that companies shall pay per cent of their gross receipts to the treasury. On | Thursday it was amended to one and 1 ffty-five one hundredths per cent. Yes | terday MT. Wright offered an amend ment making this tax 1 F per cent. Mir 1 Olney amended the motion to amend by making it per cent, and this was adopted by rising vote, g of the 12 members voting for it. On Thursday "a majority of the 12 members voted to make the tax one and fifty-five one hundredths per cent. It is wonderful how radically a wise man will change his mind over night, by careful study of a measure of this nature
 The bill passed by the following vote; Ayes-Bunch, Finley. Hunt. Murphy, Olney, Wolff, Wright, Udall -S; nays-Carpenter, Goldberg, War ner, Goldwater-4 Mr. Wright changed his vote to 'taye" before the announce ment
 MT Finley wanted the council rec ord amended yesterday, and while it was not amended to his liking, enough further record was made to show posi- lively how MT. Finley voted on the creation of Santa Cruz county, and what his intention was.
 When the bill passed Thursday ere ating Santa Cruz county MT. Finley voted aye, in order to move reconsid- eraticn of the vote. He demanded the floor for that purpose but was tech nically out of order, in that he took the floor before the president had an nounCed the vote and while the clerk was verifying the roll When the president had announced the vote and any motion was in order, MT Carpen- ter addressed the chair, was recognized and moved immediate reconsideration.
 MT. Finley wanted the record to show that the president had "refCsed'' to recognize him, and by so doing had deprived Finley of the privilege to which he was entitled" This was a radical editorial opinion for the rec ord to express, and the motion made the council members glow. MT. Car penter was in favor of the motion if it would include all that happened. He was the only man who had addressed himself to the chair when the motion was in order
 MT. Finley replied that he did not expect the support of MT Carpenter, but the support of all fair minded men in the council. Biff!
 President Goldwater said he could have recognized MT Finley but he did not see fit so to do. He considered MT. Finley hoist by his own petard and in the language of The Republican, the medicine might be bitter, but he must swallow it. Zipp!
 MT. Ffnley's motion to amend the record was lost, and the chair, in cast ing his vote said that on Thursday, when his decision had been overruled on motion of MT. Finley, he had re trained, through courtesy, from voting to sustain his decision, but he was now of opinion that he owed the gentleman no further courtesy and he would vote nay. Bang!
 Later in the day MT Uda1l sought to cauterize the wound with a resolution that the record be made to show that MT Finley voted may" on the passage of Santa Cruz, and that all subsequent proceedings on that subject, and the resolution Of M. Udall be not record ed. Mr. Finley would not consent to this and the resolution of the peace maker was killed
 The incident may be considered as closed, for MT. Goldwater and Mr. Fin ley lunched together, MT. Frank Cox, agent of the Southern Pacific, paid the bill, and all returned to the council telling one another funny stories.
 House bill 99, designed to give Mari copa county a commissioner of immi- grafton. came to third reading in the council yesterday and was again made an c1der of consideration in whole committe. MT. Gol6water reiterated his objections to the bill. MT. Hunt wanted it passed. He saw in it a ;hance to get the entire territory ad Jertised at the expense of Maricopa J. C. Adams of the Hotel Ad- ms explained the merits of the meas Ire to the members, and urged it's sassage. MT. Goldwater said MT. Ad- ImS is fhe only man who has asked
