APPROPRIATION
 FUSS INTENDS
House Doesn t Like Idea of Senate Introduction of Appropriation Bills Both Bodies Rushing to Get Through

The senate of Arizona continues to 1 rush through the work in the hope 1 of completing the calendar before the 1 end of the sixty days The whole i question around the legislative halls now is whether or not there will be an extra session. There are a large | number of the members of the house | who are not unwilling that the seS- 1 sion shall go on until the work of ] the solons as outlined by the govern , OTIS call. especially with regard to the l code is properly completed. They are ] unanimous in the belief that the work | cannot be completed within the speci- 1 fled time
 The modus of forcing a call is one
 O. the questions that has been aSitat- | ing large number of them. IL is no secret that if the appropriation bills | are passed by the house, the governor 1 will not issue another call for the leg i islature no matter if nothing else l other than the appropriation bills are 1 passed and the work the code 1 will have to go over until the session 1 of 1915. After some figuring YeSter- l day it was decided that one way to l do the work is to pass the appro- l priations for new buildings and inn l proVements of the state institutions, | and then to leave the portion of the 1 bill that refers to the salaries and
 allowances unpassed
 Even this is not going to be such
 an easy task as might seem. There
 is considerable friction between the
 house and senate appropriations com 1 mittees. In nearly every legislative 1 body. including the English paria- | ment. and the congress of the United 1 States. the appropriations bills origin ! ate in the lower house This is the rule in every state almost except Ari-
 zona. All signs fail in Arizona and 1 all rules go by cOntraries, for the i senate, through the medium of Sena
 tor Roberts of Cochise, has usurped
 the perogatiVe of the house in the
 matter of appropriations and has in
 troduced the bills first in the senate
 and has gone farther than that in in
 troducing the bills which are not ap- proved by the majority of the joint committed
 This action has decided Chairman Rabbit of the house appropriations , committee. and Chairman Buchanan [ of the committee on ways and means , and as a result another bill will be introduced in the house coming from the house committee and having the , endorsement of majority of the
 joint committee Rabbit is q suave, ! polished. determined man, who has
 studied the needs of the state thor , ougly and has made up his mind upon
 what is necessary for their improve | ment. maintenance and operation. and
 is determined that as for him, the
 1 state shall not suffer in her ability , and willingness to care for the insti- ' tutiOns of the state in a manner com
 mensurate with her growing popula-
 l ton. growing demands. and growing
 | importance.
 This however is only indirectly con = t cerned with the matter of early ad- 7, journment It means however that an t additional fight is about to be enter | ed into which may tie matters UT S still tighter.
