Today was the lull before the storm

important will be the recall measure
along the lines outlined before. II

ure.
Other than 10 agree that tomor.

introduced, neither house accomp-
lished much today. In the house the
standing committees heretofore an
nounced on education and public in
stitutions was made two committees
and a good roads committee was ere
ated.
The senate adopted temporarily
the rules OF the last legislature as a
makeshift for the present and later
will consider new rules which, among
other things will provide for the
submission OF all bills before final
action on same are taken to a com
mittce of the whole and for keeping
record OF proceedings including
roll calls in that all-important com
mittee.
The woman suffrage advocates
have promise from Hughes Of
Pima Of an early introduction OF
their bill. possibly tomorrow, for il
Is known the bill is already drawn.
Probably for the purpose OF APP
pcaring before the senate judiciary
committee, former Governor r. L.
Sloan left tonight for Washington.
Prior to his departure he made a
statement to the effect that he had
no information concerning the pres
ent situation regarding his appoint
ment as federal Judge, but that he
felt confident he would be confirmed.
He did not state the object Of his
trip cas, at this time.

Homer Wood described his purpose
in presenting the measure. The bill
itself also makes reference To Taf's

that the Democrats were anxious IN

Of the measure will cause the first

clause as adopted in the Constitu'
