CONVENTION
 MODERAT|NG The Cutting Out oi Legis-
 IatiVe Matter Begins PRUNING PROPOSITIONS
So They Will Look Less Like Statutes After Which They Are Turned Over To the Committee On Style for Polishing.

In a recall election, the ballot shall contain a brief statement of the charges against the official and a brief defense by him.
 Two minority reports were submit ted differing from the majority mainly in the provision that the vacancy caused by the recall of an official in the manner provided for filling all of ficial vacancies All other propositions bearing on this subject were indefinite ly postponed.
 Too Legislative.
 The next matter taken up was MT. Dills' livestock proposition providing that measures should be taken against pleuro pneumonia. splenetic fever, glan- ders and other infectious diseases. The federal relations committee had recom- mended the adoption of this proposi- tion without alteration or amendment
 Mir Cunniff raised the first objection He did not believe that it was necessary to enumerate the diseases. As a con- stitutiOnal provision it would look and sound better without that catalogue Mir. Parsons alluded sarcastically to MT. Cunniff's highly trained ear and his insistence upon euphOny and well rounded sentences.
 Dr. TuthiIl could not see why the proposition should be in the constitu- tion at all. It was all covered by pres ent statutes and the legislature was fully authorized to establish a quaran- tine. All this, said MT. Winsor. was in the statutes and he thought that the power to deal with this question might be safely reserved to the legislature.
 MT. Wills insisted on the proposition and MT Cunniff renewed his motion for the striking out of the catalogue. MT. EIlinwood said that it would give the provision a broader scope, but he would support the measure for the reason that the gentleman from Pinal wanted it. Judge Doe insisted that it was legislative matter and MT. Webb moved that it do not pass. It was indefinite ly postponed.
 Fine Points of Language.
 The committee on style, revision and compilation got in it's work in the afternoon session in two places, first by the correction of a phrase in the measure for giving publicity to cam paign contributions, changing "the first session of the legislature shall' to ''the legislature at its first session shall" It was also decided by the committee that the Iawmaking body shall be known as the Legislature" and not as the gen eral assembly" over the objection of MT. webb.
 Rather indefinite.
 The publicity proposition was by Mir Parsons. who objected to the form in which it had been returned from the committee, providing for publicity both before and after the election" He wanted some time fixed. Before" and after" were very indefinite. The candidate or the party committee might make publication at the very outset of the campaign, before any corruption had been practiced and then again, they might wait for a hundred years after the election before making the next publication.
 Messrs. Osborn. Jones of Yavapai and Cunniff asked that the proposition be back to the committee so that it might put into AOI IN ..NTAO it might be put into a form to make it operative at the first state cleo tion
 MT. Kingan replied that nothing in the constitution could be made to have any bearing on the first election. MT. | Winsor, who had kept asking questions all day about one thing and another, inquired of MT. Parsons how he ex- pected this measure as a constitutional provision to have any effect on the l first election, however important that election might be.
 Then Mir. Parsons, referring to the | prolonged debate the day before over | the election committees proposal to | adopt direct primary measure for the | first election, said: Tn that case there was a good deal of useless agitation of | the atmosphere yesterday" After | some further discussion Mir Parsons | to make the proposition | more definite and certain" was lost | and the report of the committee was adopted.
 The announcement was made yester- | day afternoon that MT. Cooper had | withdrawn from the committee on labor | and that the vacancy had been filled | by the appointment of MT Langdon, | who had been a member of the com , mittee on public service corporations | In this connection it was made known | to the members yesterday that MT. |
