NOT COMPLETED.
Latest adviees from Phoenix is 20
tic effect that the legislature viii
lot be able TO complete very much
more legislation before adjournment
tonight which will mark the end of
the sixty day period for which mem
hers may draw pay of more than one
collar per day. The governor is now
faced with the necessity for calling
another extra session or being con-
fronted with condition OF no appro-
priation for the improvement and
maintenance Of the public institutions.
lust which horn of the dilemma the
governor will choose remains a Sc
eret within his own office.
Should the legislature adjourn
sine die tonight it would leave the
state without land commissioner to
complete the work of selecting the
public land due the state from the
government, or any authority for COM
p;eting this work. 1t would leave the
state without any fixed law for the
assessment OF the mining property
within the commonwealth, thus in-
viting litigation thst might be very
embarrassing to the state and coun-
" governments. Then, there has been
no law enacted providing method
fer selling or leasing the school and
ether public lands of the state. This
sc do not regard as imperatively nee
cssary at this time, but it would be
veil to outline the future land pol.
icy of the state as early as possible,
so that occupants would know what
condition they would have to meet
IN receiving permanent titles or
leases.
It is understood that the house is
insisting that the senate shall pass it,
board of control bill before it will
approve any of the Pet measures OF
he senate, including one for new
lease Of life for the now defunct land
commission and the Roberts land
lease bill. Tie house is contendine
| f.,r a board of control that will not be
subjected to the dictation of the
governor and we are Of the opinion
nat the house is fully warranted ii
making this demand in the face o.
what has occurred during the frs
| year of the present administration
| MANY things have occurred wpicf
should not be permitted TO Occur
again. for instance, the ignoring o
tie plain written law directing how

should be bought, the allowing con
lyicts in citizen clothes TO run at will Oh
iire streets Of Florence, the attempted
evasion fthe Law in the purchase o

and paying for it out of money appro
