READY FOR SUBMISSION
Interferes But Little With Representative Legisla- tion-Question of Per cen5ages Will Be Settled In Committee of Whole.

i The lure of the show was too strong for the constitutional cOnven- tiOn and therefore patriotism yielded to pleasure yesterday so that by a
 majority of five it was voted at the
 morning session to adjourn until the usual hour this morning. This is the first time that such a motion has
 prevailed but this was the first time that Buffalo Bill has been in town since the assembling of the conven- ton.
 The recess gave the committees or
 parts of them time to do something
 in the afternoon. A part of the leg | islative committee completed the draft of an initiative and referendum proposition which will be submitted to the full committee Wednesday and
 probably to the committee of the
 whole on the following day.
 The draft is said to embrace fea- lures of the Baker, Cassidy and other propositions which have been sub
 mitted The committee has taken care to prepare a measure which will | infringe as slightly as possible upon 1 representative government and 1t is | said that in that respect it is quite | different from the Oregon form. | The committee did not undertake to
 fix the percentages for the initiative or the referendum leaving that part
 of the proposition blank. Conjectures vary as to how the blank will be filled, but it is generally thought that the percentages will be a little high | CT than has so far been named III any of the propositions.
 The committee on preamble is eX- pected to report today and it was said
 that the committee wuld also report
 a bill of rights containing a provision against capital punishment. | Seven propositions were offered in the morning session. Most of them related to matters which have been gone over in earlier propositions, and
 some of them have been taken from the same statutes and constitutions from which their predecessors had
 been taken. They are as follows: By MT. Webb, relating to home steads.
 Br. Mir. Cunniff, providing for the collection of license tax; prohibiting the levying of an occupation tax; re- lating to exemptions on homesteads; a provision for an employers Ha- bility law which, in case of an action will not require proof of contri-
 butory negligence; prohibiting the | importation of alien labor. Mir Jones of Yavapai introduced a
 proposition providing for the nOmi- nation of candidates for congress at primaries.
 Several propositions were given their second reading and referred.
 Among them was one providing for the separate submission of statewide
 prohibition.
 Another was Mir. Orme's general election proposition in which it ap- peared that an error had been made by the printer or a typewriter so that | it seemed to confer the right of suf- frage "On all citizens" whereas Mir. Orme had meant that it should be cnferred "on all male citizens The omission was ordered corrected. Chairman Wood of the finance com mittee submitted his first report of the expenditures on account of the
 convention. showing that a total of S10.7 had already been expended
 which added to the estimated election
 expenses, 10000, leaves a little more than 10000 of the appropriated $1O0,- O00 Mir Woods itenized report fol- lows:
