ONE AIMED AT
 JOHNSON GRASS
Another Creates a New County and Incidentally There Were Some More to Regulate Morals of the Public

II would appear from yesterday $ proceedings that the legislature is only now waking up to the possibilities of law making Seventeen new bills were introduced in the house and three in the senate, which is probably the largest consignment of raw material yet dumped into the hopper on any one day. and some of it quite notice ably raw. The new bills cover about everything from suppressing Johnson grass by d restraining order. 10 the creation of Copper Queen county.

Altogether the stock displayed was much like that of a de : partment store, something that appeals to every taste and shade of opinion. In point ot finished legislation all the house accomplished was to kill d town marshal bill that was better dead any way. The senate passed a joint resO- lution asking congress to pass the three year homestead law, put the sick school teachers out of the public schools and killed a public highway bill because of it's misfortune in being a duplicate measure. Tn the morning session Senator c. F. Wood seized an oppOrtune time to explain for the benefit of the press of the state that it had gamed a very erroneous i'm pression concerning the relations be- tween the legislature and the governor Notwithstanding a prevalent belief by many newspapers that there was jeal- ousy and Inharmony i'll certain quar- ters. everything was running as smoothly as could be desired and that any apparent friction was only whe- the gentlemen might differ honestly ir judgment as to the wisdom of this OI that action but always without per sonal feeling in the matter. He OpineC that Ariozna's first governor was tn' best one imaginable even if he wax not always right, or words 10 that ef- feet.
