SUICIDE BILL VIGOROUSLY
(Continued from Page One)

One pleasant little occurrence yes- terday just before the noon recess oc- cured when Harold HolcOmb, the kid page of the house. on behalf of the employees, presented Speaker Sam Bradner with a handsome hand wrought watch fob of genuine old gold. From the vantage of chair the youngster read the address which had been prepared and signed by all the employees.
 After MT. Bradner had made a suitable response, thanking the em- plOyes and expressing his feeling of good will toward them, a motion was adopted by the house that its em- ployes are the best any Arizona legislature has ever had or ever will have
 No man has worked harder for any bill during this session than Senator Pace has worked for the bill provid- ing for the removal of the industrial school from Benson to the Cuff ranch or to some other site to be selected by the board of control But all his labor was of no effect; for, though he got the bill through the senate after long and arduous struggle it was summariy turned down by the house when it came be- fore that body yesterday.
 The house had already passed a resolution that it would not consid- CT this question again at the present session and it was as good as it's word, though several of the mem bers said they thought that. in view los1. . strongly recommended action of some sort. the senate bill should not be treated summarily.
 MT. Graham, however moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. MT. Lynch said the house had honestly tried to meet the governors require mentS but that the chief executive had declared he would veto any such bill as the house had passed. There fore, he thought the house had done enough. He objected to being forced to do a thing, he said, and concluded his argument by declaring: We don't have to do this thing so don't let us do it."
 Mr Whipple said he had been told by Judge Hawkins that the Gulf
 
 other prospective location that had been investigated by the committee appointed some weeks ago by the governor. However" MT. Whipple said, T do not insist on any one To- cation; but we have been informed of the deplorable conditions existing at Benson and it seems to me we shall be remiss in our duty if we ad- jOurn without taking some action"
 The board of control measure came up again today: and was finally dis posed of The original house proposi- ton was adopted, the senate receding from it's former demand. The only change is that the appropriation is raised from $500 to $500.
 There is still quite a large amount of business to be done. if the legisla- ture goes through with it's entire program One of the chief causes of delay is the apparent inability of the house and senate to reach agree ment except after the matters have ben passed upon by a couple of con ference committees Several bills have been treated in that way with in the past day or two and regard ing one or two there seems little hope of compromise
 One of the important announce ments yesterday by the governor re- lated to the appointment of w. H. Plunkett to the position of state ex- aminer, d new office created by the legislature at the present session. Plunkett has been at work with the special commission which, for the past several weeks, has been engaged in making an examination of several of the state offices It is known that Governor Hunt has had a number of men under consideration for this posi- tion but matters had so shaped them selves recently that Plunkett's ap- pointment did not come as sur prise.
 The principal work remaining to be done is consideration of the geiStra- ton and primary laws which have passed the house but which have not vet reached the senate. It looks as though these two bills alone will fur nish an all day job for the senate.
 At the start off yesterday morning the house received from the senate the bill relating t othe publication of the session laws. Only few minor changes had been made and, on motion, therepOrt of the conference committee, recommending the passage of the bill as amended, was cOncurred in.
 On motion of MT. Bell. the style and revision committee was instructed to report the pure food bill
 A motion of MT. Jones to reconsider the vote by which the state engineer bill had been passed was carried and the senate was asked to return the bill. The object of this action was to secure amendment, and committee on con- ference was appointed to confer with a like committee from the senate.
 A number of bills passed by the sem ate yesterday were received and, under the emergency provision, were read by title. The first of these was the bill providing for salaries for the secretary of state, the board of health and the vital statistician.
 Next, the bill providing for the re-
