If anybody thinks those pretty lit tie songsters known colloquiany as hoOt owls are to be made the sub ltct ot insidious distinction and arr not to be accorded the rights. priv ileges and immunities of real game b.rds he has reckoned without tnl- ing Governor Hunt into consideration. For Governor Hunt is interested in h0ot owls He has said so He has said ir officially and he has said it effectively. And his liking for this solemn night bird goes to such an extent that the governor las vetoed q bill recently passed by the legisla- ture Honest, he has And he did t because the bill did not properly recognize his oWlship.
 But il is not hoot owls alone that have claimed the governors atten- ton. Those feathered sprinters known as road runners are also just now enjoying the gubernatorial favor. Likewise and moreover there are hawks-red tailed hawks, sparrow hawks and chicken hawks or what ever kind it is that is in the habit of doing business in Arizona It is because the legislature. in fixing up bill providing for licensing hunters, overlooked these birds and failed to except them as worthy of exemption from indiscriminate slaughter that the governor vetoed the bill, Also, he said. the lawmakers should re- quire all hunters. resident IS we'll as others. to pay an annual license.
 Wherefore the governor seized his trusty javelin and inserted in in the bill where it would do the most good The remains were then carried 10 the legislature and placed in the hands of a committee which held an in quest last night and may report to- day.
 The governor also vetoed the bill providing for state geologist.

He thought there was no nGed to be in a hurry about this matter; anyway the double pur- pose of the bill might make it un- constitutional.
 The governor did sign a bill, how ever, and that is the measure making an appropriation of $250O0 to pay the expenses of the special session of the legislature

Tn fact the senators Ot through with their work so quickly at the morning ses sion that some almost met them selves going in as they left the chamber For the past few days the senate had worked so rapidly. when it did work that it had left no mate rial for itself and hence had to ad- journ few minutes after ten o'clock until more raw legislation could be prepared by the committees.
 The senate however did receive a few bills and pass a few.

 What is said by many to be tho most important bill of the session wa: introduced yesterday by Senator c B. Wood. of the finance committee The object of the bill is the re-codi the conduct of the state treasurer office
