ARIZONA SENATE
PASSES FOUR BILLS
No New Measures Are Con
sidered in the House
Saturday.

Phoenix. Ariz., Nay 25.-The senate
today passed bills TO prohibit lobbying,
requiring publicity OF candidates cam
paign expenses, for providing penalties
for embezzlement OF public money or
Justification Of accounts, and a COM
pulsOry compensation bill Ne bills
were considered in the house.
Eight measures were offered in the
senate and eight in the house Friday
The most important of these were bills
creating a new state board of control
fixing q state tax on inheritances, pro-
Ttdlng for the publication Of the names
OF all owners Of stockholders of all
newspapers an anti-white slave act.
and prohibiting lobbying. The latter
bill under suspension of the rules was
advanced to the second reading by
the house.
Board of Control.
Undaunted by their defeat by the
senate at the regular session, when
the house board Of control bill was un-
tremendously killed, the antl-adminis-
trat1on members Of the house have
lined up for a fight for a similar meas
ure which was introduced b. repre-
sentative Jacobs, Of the Maricopa
county delegation, Friday, the second
day Of the session Rather. Jacobs is
the power behind the throne in this
matter. The bill is his, but it was
simply slid into the house without any
flourish Of fatherhOOd. The former bill
was introduced by representative
Craig, OF COchise county, and il is
ed, in part, for the animosity displayed
toward that bill in the senate
In order to make assurance doubly
sure, representative Linney introduced
a resolution providing that during the
extra session no bill should bear the
name Of any member. The resolution
provided that the names Of the COM
mittsss that originate bills should be
attached TO such measures as came
from them, but all chances for indi-
yidual glory, or the reverse, were
barred.
Want Their Names BIaEOned.
There was strong opposition 10 this
resolution. particularly by Graham, Of
COchIse county, who said he thought
the idea vicious in every detail Lin
ney resented the remarks OF the Co
chise member as applying 10 him per
sonauy, a responsibility which Mr..
Graham disclaimed. However, he said, |
he thought the name OF the author I
should always be appended to any
measure he may father because the [
people of the state have the rlSht TO /
know where responsibility lies
Mr.. Saxon Joined Mr.. Graham in an |
assault on the resolution and said he /
was not ashamed of any measure he |
had introduced. He thought all the Z
work of the house should be done In |
the open and was opposed 10 taking !
any course that smacked OF secrecy
There was plenty more discussion pro !
and con, and finally a call was ordered I
resulting In the adoption OF the reso- I
luton, i to Is. with five members alb !
sent. Mr.. Saxon then raised the point Z
that as this was an amendment TO I
the rules a two-thirds vote was re- |
quired: but at this juncture Mr.. Lin /
ney said he would ask a reconsldera- I
ton of the vote, and this motion car 7
rying, the house also voted 1,,t to permit
the withdrawal of the resolution Mr.. /
Tfnoev said however, the resolution 1
may be introduced at later date.
The discussion on this matter /
brought up the fact that sometimes |
resolutions carry considerable dynam- !
lite; and accordingly an amendment /
that hereafter an resolutions, unless /
otherwise ordered by a majority Of the !
house, shall be referred TO appropri- /
ate committees and shall take the |
same course as regular biiIs-
Radical address Delivered.
There was one interesting little fea-
