 Senate Sees An Error
 An effort has been made during the extra session to pass a bill amending a measure passed by the last legislature which increases the hing fees for articles of incorpora- ton. Those who favor higher fees claim that the law will bring in greater revenue to the state, but those who favor the bill now before the legislature prove conclusivcly that the raising of rates will drive incorporation business from the state and thus deprive Arizona of one of her great sources of revenue.
 Fails to Remedy It.
 This morning the bill lowering the rates came before the senate com mittee of the whole and an effort was made by its friends to have the measure referred to the Finance committee in order ,ha, an investi- gation might be made to determine whether the state would be deprived of any revenue. This cmincntly sem sible suggestion did not meet with the approval of the senate machine and the motion was lost by a vote of 9 ayes to 10 nays.

The senate look cd and waited and yesterday, when the house was working over the election proposition. the senate in' definitely postponed the bill. admit ting by the action that there will be no purchasing department legisla- tsion al the special session. The good old status quo will have to continue.
