Arizona republican., 1910-11-11
MORE OR LESS ROUTINE.
Two Committees Indulge In Compre-
hensive Slaughter.

At the opening of the morning ses-
sion a telegram to the president from
an Oklahoma official was read con-
/ veying the information that the liquor
traffic in that state had been given
another knock at the election last
Tuesday.
The committee on elections returned
a report recommending the indefin-
ite postponement of propositions a
and 143. both relating to equal suf-
frage. The latter is the Connolly
measure. providing among other things
that the first Legislature shall sub
| nit the question of equal suffrage TO
! all the citizens of Arizona regardless
of sex. Mr. Ingraham will file a
minority report.
| A report was received from the ju-
dietary committee containing recon-
mendations regarding a large number
of measures. Concerning two of them
relating to homesteads and exemptions
il was recommended that inasmuch as
they related to matters of policy they
should be referred to the legislative
committee, Chairman Cunningham
saving that the members of that COM
mittee were gentlemen of policy who
| had the reputation of getting along
well together.
The judiciary committee recon-
mended the indefinite postponement OF
| the proposition providing for the es-
tablishing of juvenile courts, on the
ground that that subject will be dealt
with in. another measure. Another
proposition relating to juvenile Of
| tenders was also unfavOrably reported.
and Mr. Ingraham announced that
minority reports would be filed in both
cases.
Several other propositions were
marked by the Judiciary committee for
death. Among them were the Kinney
proposition providing that a quail
fication for United States senator
should be a residence of five years in
Arizona and Mr.. Feeny's bill of rights
proposition which has been described
as legalizing picketing and boycotting
| in Industrial disputes.
Mr.. Webb sent to the secretarys
desk a communication from the Off
GERS of the Montezuma Canal COM
pany protesting against proposition
| 127 relating to the appropriation and
use of water claiming that it would
disrupt the present system of irriga-
| ton. The communication believes
that proposition &C is good one but
that before its adoption it should he
given careful study.
A communication was received from
the w. c. #. U. endorsing the Connel-
| ly equal suffrage proposition. There
was also an endorsement by the
miners of Copper Hill of Mr. Kinneys
proposition requiring that eighty per
cent of the laborers employed in the
underground workings of mines or in
other hazardous tasks should be able
to speak the English language.
Prospects for Today.
The session this morning will be
occupied in the committee of the
whole with the report of the judiciary
committee submitted yesterday.
| The initiative and referendum prop
osition which was sent to the engross-
| ing committee and to be turned over
| TO the committee on style revision
and compilation may be received at
any time when it viii go to the third
reading.
1t is not likely that any further ef-
fort will be made to amend it. In this
connection, it may be stated that the
amendment that Mr.. Cunniff offered
as a compromise substitute for para
graph was misunderstood at that
