INTRODUCES MEASURE

REVIEW BUREAU. Room Five Western Union Building. Phoenix. Ariz. April l5-- Billy Graham of Lowell. hy his stfaight from the shoul- der method Of doing business has made himself a warm favorite in the lower house of the legislature. has pet measure up his sleeve for the introduction. later in the session. which will be boon to the poor man and the man who tolls for his daily bread
 The proposed bill is nothing more or less than . weights and measures proposition. designed to throw the legal hooks into the gentleman who grows rich by putting his hand on the scales when the meat is being weighed. or by removing a little of the flour from the sack after it has been weighed
 Graham's measure will be pattern ed somewhat along the lines of the weights and measures ordinance ad- opted some time ago in the city of Tucson. which is said to have worked with great success in behalf of the consumer.
 pretty fight between the house and the senate is due to come up some of these days and according to the present outlook it will be pre- cipitated in the lower house with Billy" Graham leading the military forces
 Several days ago Graham called at. tention to the fact that the senate had the habit of taking a measure passed by the house, and after mak- ing some trivial amendment, intro duce a substitute for the measure. cal- ling it senate bill. and thus giving the upper house credit for having initiated the legislation. Graham and Nhipple Of Greenlee, noticed the con diuon of affairs at about the same time. and both announced in open session of the house that the next time their attention was called to a | piece of work of this kind. war would ! be declared upon the senate. |
 The invitation to visit the state prison and spend a night behind bars has been received by both houses, | hut so far no member has evidenced | any wild desire to emulate the gover- nor in his prison roOst' idea. IL is generally believed that if the mem |, bers made a general invasion of the | prison, Governor Hunt would be fore ed to turn out pretty large flock of ! "honor men" to sleep in the public | highways until the legislative men l had returned to the capital building | to resume their duties and their sey. i en dollars per diem.
 Although every effort has been i made to evade any discussion Of the | topic, the question of prohibition Is | bound and determined to inject it. 4 self into a permanent legislative ses- sion.
 Prohibition will come before the ! legislature in the form Of petition 1 from a number of merchants in Tenn | pc and Mesa, requesting the legisla- | tors to take some action tending to I amend the present segregation laws in such a manner that the people Of the two towns mentioned will be able ! to vote on the question Of prohibit ! ton Several months ago at a gen eral election held in MaricODa county | the voters of Tempe and Mesa made | their town dry. but according to the !, business men of the two towns who l have been recently interviewing the | members of the legislature. the ex- pertinent has not been success and ! the people are desirous Of securing I remedial legislation at this session. i
 Aspiring gentlemen of the J. Rufus | Wallingford type. who look upon Ari- zona with greedy eyes and itching fingers, have been headed off by measure introduced in the legislature which was drafted by Chairman Geary I and Secretary Cole of the Corpora ton Commission. The bill touches upon practically every line of busi- i ness in which one of crooked tenden- 1! cies might engage. and throws up | the bars of protection around the good people Arizona in such man. ner that easy money" could not be extracted with a cork screw.
 Thursday. during the consideration in the senate of the woman suffrage measure saw the first use of that old time legislative club, known as the call of the house." It was in- , yoked in the senate when the suffrage question came up and it was found that Senators Sims, Harrison ana Weasel were absent All three or these gentlemen opposed the measure If was natural that their fellow work CTS asked for their presence and
