 BUSY AS USUAL
Lawsmiths Continue Squirt for the Windup; Oratory Is Shut Off by Adoption of Rule Which Limits Debate

Debate
 pretty good record was made yesterday by the law factory in one way and another. Eighteen bills were handled by the whole committee of the senate up to the night session while the house put it's mark on an even dozen. threw few in the dis card and tagged the rest for quick action. The senate passed no bills in the day session but it passed d motion binding its members to keep their oratoTv down to four minute SlugS at each firing and the effect was quite noticeable The senate how ever has little more work to do than in the house for. in order that it's legislation may be absolutely per feet all bills have 10 go through the senicOlOn, rhetoric and comma com mittee, officially known as style re- vision. and compilation. Also. the senate has 10 spend more or less time in considering appointments Yesterday it was it's pleasant duty to confirm the nomination of Messrs Zander. Nicholson and Howe as tax commissioners and take under con sideration the nomination of John Bohn of Bisbee. for mine inspector
 The house passed eleven bills as follows: Road and engineer law; sales of poisOns; bounty law; Chevelon bridge bill: secretary of state as sistance bill. bonds Of state officers; prohibiting employment of tuLercuIar teachers: board of regents bill: uni
  ing private car lines and an anti blacklist law. There was also some interesting work in the committee and some further demonstration of the jealousy between the two houses but it was kept mostly within humorous lines.
 Quite bunch of bills was passed from each house To the other and every possible move made to hurry matters without eliminating legal formalities.
 One of the most unimpOrtant, nev- ertheless most cruel things the leg islature has done. occurred in the senate when the bill raising the sal aries of the two chaplains from S1OO Der annum to $500 per annum was impaled on the indefinite postpone ment hook. The bill had passed the lower house after introduction by MT Barker who pleaded for it with tears in his eyes some two or three weeks ago. He recited that the chaplains who were almost constantly on duty in administering spiritual sOlace to the sick and dying cOnvicts only got $S.35 per month and in the name of civilization and humanity he desired that they be given $25 per month enough to at least pay their butchers bill and bug an occasional sack oi flour Sen Homer Wood in committed of the whole moved at once for indefinite pOstpOnement. Senator Brown of Pinal, republican made an earnest talk for the bill. first or it's merits. He said the prison is nearly mile from where the chap lains live and as their duties are oi almost daily occurrence they have tC keep a horse and buggy and even the colossal salary of $25 per montf would hardly pay for the horse feeC to say nothing of the chaplain. Final Iy he sought to cleave the ston! hearts of his colleagues by calling at tention to the fact that the legisla ture was democratic in both branches nevertheless this had been the onl! bill bis democratic colleague iron Pinal had been able to get througI the house and he thought it shoult pass as courtesy to him if for n, other reason. C. B. Wood and other were just q little touched by tn earnestness Of Browns appeal an, were willing to come half way an make it S200 Der year. but the res of the democrats were obdurate. Tn bill went to the scrap heap and i the chaplains have no other sourc of revenue they will go to the poo house
