EQUAL SUFFRAGE
 BILL PASSES HOUSE

Last Monday the lower house
 of the state legislature passed
 the bill introduced by Kirk T.
 Moore of Pima, submitting to the
 voters of Arizona the question Iof woman suffrage. The vote
 stood q to IA in favor of the bill.
 The senate has deferred action on the bill until April g, when the entire day will be given to its consideration.
 The following are some of the opinions of the lawmakers of the house regarding the measure, as chronicled by the Phoenix Re publican:
 Mir. Graham objected to the bill on the ground that it was not sufficiently comprehensive. To be effective many sections of the constitution should be amended, he believed, so that both sexes would be indicated where now only the pronoun he" is used. Also, he feared the women would be liable for military service. He believed in suffrage but hoped this bill would be killed.
 MT. Kelton affected a humOr- ous talk in defense of the married men. Being a bachelor he has to fear, and anyhow he does not believe in equal suffrage.
 Rabbit defended the measure on the ground that the democratic party was pledged to let the people rule" and had made it's campaign on that principle. He favored giving them a chance to pass on this question which, he said, is demanded by more than | the percentage necessary to be- gin proceedings by the initiative.
 Brooks argued somewhat in the interpretation of the constitution.
 Mr. Lynich was not afraid to vote as his wife told him. Never theless he was not ardently in favor of suffrage but he would the measure, for he be- ieved it was a demand put up to he party in fulfillment of its pledges. -.--.- --.-
 Mir. Lewis favored suffrage md said it was such talk as he lad beard in the chamber about lodging the question that forced he placing of the initiative pro 'ision in the constitution.
 Mir. Kerr said he believed the question should come through the initiative and so told his constitu- nts; but since it had been put ID squarely as a partisan ques- ion be would vote for it. Messrs. axon, Barker, Whipple, Johnson nd others all had their say and everal of them spoke several ines each.

LAND OFFICES MAY
 SOON BE ABOLISHED
Inferior Department has a Scheme to Consolidate Various Bureaus Under
 One Administration.

In senate document No. 375 is
 found the subject of proposed
 change in the administration
 methods of the interior depart
 ment which will interest Arizona
 and all the western states. The alleged purpose of the move is
 greater economy in admins
 tration It has been suggested,
 however, the new plan would
 make such economy hardship and will retard the development of the west.
 The document is a letter flom Samuel Adams, acting secratary of the interior, to M. c. CuDniff, president of the senate. It refers to a plan to consolidate the work of surveying, map making. and graphic reproduction, conducted by the different bureaus of the departments, into one bureau. the geological survey. At the pre- sent time there is surveying of ore kind or another by the land office, the reclamation service, and the office of Indian affairs. The fear has been expressed that if all this is thrown into the geo. logical survey the work will be delayed. Naturally settlers on government land and those desir- ing to patent mining claims are greatly interested It is said de- lay will be caused in the complex ity of field work and also from the fact that all business shall be transacted in Washington through correspondence.
 It is understood the plan is to establish a new bureau of which the geological survey shall be the nucleus to be called the United States survey. It is to include not only surveying bureaus men, toned but the coast and geodetic | survey. etc. The argument is that as the geological survey now surveys the government | land in it's contour work it will be | more economical to have it also to make the rectangular surveys | required for settlers on govern ment land and applicants for mineral patents. Under the plan proposed it is said that work which now takes two or three months may take several times as long. i
 It is claimed more time will be expended in making two surveys and in getting the engineers into action; also to finish the business in connection with titles. AL though nothing is stated to that effect in the document, it is said the proposed consolidation would mean the abolition of the survey or generals office in the various western states.
