HUNT ISSUES
 PROCLAMATION
Governor Takes Final Ac- tiOn Necessary to Give Constitutional Amend ments and Referred Bills Force and Effect.

By a proclamation issued last eve George w P. Hunt informed the people of Arizona that all the amend ments and referred bills that were presented to the people of the state at the recent elction had been car red by a majority and become laws from this time forth. The law pro viding for the proclamation provided that the proclamation shall be issued forthwith by the governor following the official canvas of the votes, but as the proclamation is a long one and it is the first of it's kind ever issued within Arizona it took some care and considerable time to pre- pare it hence instead of being on could not be completed until yes terday.
 Under the terms Of the proclama- ton the recall of judges becomes part of the constitution as does also the woman suffrage amendment and the amendment granting the right to the state to engage in industrial pursuits; the amendment regarding the manner and mode of assessing and collecting taxes providing for the passage of such laws as may be necessary to give the tax commis sion greater power in the matters of taxation; and also the amendment allowing cities to increase their in debtedness to not exceed fifteen per cent of the taxable valuation for public utilities.
 The referred bills that have be- come q part of the laws of the state | as q result of the election are well | known. bcause of the railroad Hti- gation incurred as result of their passage but it is not generally i known that there was passed also a miners lien law, and the game and | fish law, against which referenda were filed.
 l After enumerating the particular 1 chapters and sections of the cOnsti- tuition and the laws of the state of l Arizona which these bills effect Gov | ernOr Hunt says:
