NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SUBMITTED At
PHOENIX
Constitutional Convention
Provides for Extra STEM
ographers to Report
Debates.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 19.-After vot-
ing down the proposition to contract
for a verbatim report of the constitu-
tional convention debates, the question,
which has been taking up much time
for several days, was finally disposed
of by the convention authorizing en-
ployment of extra stenographers to as
sist attaches in doing the work.
Among the propositions introduced
were: Two providing educational quail
fications for voters, effective after the
first state election; one prohibiting
employment of foreign labor on public
works; another prohibiting courts
from declaring initiative laws uncon-
stitutional unless in conflict with fed
eral constitution. One provides for Of
fering an amendment to the constitu-
ton by the initiative with IS percent
portions or by the legislature on a
three fifths vote of both houses; One
on contracts with employees. limiting
or abrogating personal liability Of cor
porations for injury or death; another
prohibits bank officers from borrow
ing or loaning money to companies in
which they are interested. and one pro-
vides home rule for cities.
Direct Legislation Certain.
Propositions for constitutional direct
legislation and for the recall are now
before the convention with certainty
that they will be incorporated in some
form in the organic law. The legisla
tive committee to which the initiative
and referendum propositions are re-
ferred has not a single reactionary
among its membership. The committee
on executive, which will consider the
recall, is also progressive and the ma
jority for the measure
Low Percents Favored.
Reasonably low percents are favored
by both committees, for about to 10
percent for the initiative, to for
referendum, and IS for recall The
principal fight will be over the per-
cents. though the legislative committee
report will contain much additional
details over which row may be start
ed The committee desires to improve
on the Oregon plan and believes that
details for the operation of the law
should be incorporated.
