Just before ana for some time after
the cOnl ening OF the first state legis
lsture which event is scheduled by
His EXcellency Governor George w
2. Hunt for March 18th. says the Ari
IONA Republican.
What will the legislature do? is
G. question which is giving some con
siderable pause to the citizenry al
large and the members of the law
making body particularly. Pending
the caucus, which will occur a few
days before the opening session. sew
eral momentous questions must re-
main uusolyed. and it is altogether
within the range of probability that
even after the members OF the house
and senate have put their heads to-
gether there will still be good many
things To be threshed out in commit
tee and on the floor.
Governor Hunt has declared for an
economical administration and would
Ike to have the legislature press the
spurs into the legislature program and
finish its work within the sixty days
period prescribed by the constitution,
but Maricopa county members, and
those from other countries, recently in
the city are of the opinion that the
great volume OF law making neces-
- efa ha
its way down the corridors of time
cannot be accomplished in a pair OF
months, no matter how diligent the
statesmen may be or how much
'scrappiug they can get along
without
Just al the present time there is
tacit understanding on the part OF
the party leaders to rest upon their
oars and let mater take her course
About the middle OF March, however,
mater" will retire with such dignity
as She may cOmand, and the stage
will he clear for the human history
makers
There is a decided Discrimination to
talk inside politics Just now. Not
tiat politics are not discussed from
early morn til dewey eve. in every
hotel lobby. upon every street corner,
and ever park bench, but there IS
feeling on the part OF the leaders
now in the city that they should not
organize the legislature prior to the
actual assembling OF that Interesting
.g0dy. This sentiment viii gradually
recede until in q couple OF weeks
there viii be programs and states
ascending and descending in every
direction much after the fashion OF
1.rdmen al an aviation meet.
The first business which will con
front the members after the gayel
f-Is on the day after St Patricks
dav' in The morning Will be the cleo
lion OF a president Of the senate and
q speaker OF the house. II Is gener
allv conceded that Michael Cunin OF
Yavapai. will have no opposition Tor
the honor in the senate. The repub-
Hcans have not yet advanced a can
didate To- receive the honorary and
perfunctory vote OF the minority, but
one OF the lonely quartet viii be
offered upon duty's altar and receive
the undivided vote or the solid three
/. he votes for himself he Will have
q grand combined total OF four votes
In the house there is a semblance
OF q contest between sam Bradner,
OF Benson. and A r. Lynch OF Solo,
knoxville. but as indicated by The
Republican yesterday Bradner at THIS
stage. looks . safe winner.
There are already several hundred
2ppIicatiOns on file for clerkships'
secretaryships, pages, stenographers,
and all Of the etcetera which accom-
pany a fully equipped law making
body. Just how many places will be
made for the faithful has not yet
been determined but it is a certainty
that about ninety-ihne per cent
OF the willing applicants are doomed |
to bloom and bluch 10 fame IN /
known.
When the legislature is finally or /
ganized one OF the first OF the I'M !
i crtant acts will be the election OF
Two United States senators. Because
OF the primary vote this election VIII 1

Pima win be elected to the United 4
States Senate.
Ralph Cameron and Hoval A. Smith 1
will also be placed in nomination and
win receive the combined eight votes
Of the determined minority, there be
ing Just as many republicans in the
lower house as there is in the house
OF Lords. This little function salts

houses viii get down to real business
