 will prove more detrimental to this county perhaps than any other Tn the State, are described in yester- days issue of the Phoenix Republi- can, as follows:
 Unless there is a radical change in the temper of few members of the Senate of Arizona sometime dur ing today, the Linney amendment 10 the constitution, known as H. s. Z5, which provides that the people shall vote at the next general election up- on a proposition to amend the con stitution allowing the state to con- tract bonded indebtedness in excess of the present limit of $350, 900 is in danger of actually dying because a small minority of the senate, against the wishes of the chambers of com merce and the boards of supervis- ors of their home counties, IS de- termined not to allow the bill to come to a vote and have throttle hold on the senate under an unani- nous resolution passed on Wednes- day night.
 Attempt after attempt was made in the senate to bring the bill onto the floor for a vote. where there IS a clear majority in favor of the bill, yesterday during the sessions of the legislature, and every attempt was blocked by Wood of Yavapai. with q object" The Linney bill, it might be said in explanatory comment, does not carry with it an appropria- tion-it is merely a proposed am endment to the constitution which will allow the people of the state to bond themselves for the construction of good roads and other public i'm provements, and it will allow the state to engage in industrial pur- suits, according to the amendment to the constitution passed at the last election. However meritorious the bill is, does not apparently enter into the consideration of the affair. It has been before the Senate, hay ing been sent over from the House since April 2, and despite the urg- ings of the members of the house of the Senate committees having charge of the bill have steadily re- fused to bring the bill out for final passage, and on Wednesday the un- animous agreement resolution pass ed placed an effectual means of ty- ing the bill into the committee and of letting it die there.
 Yesterday afternoon there were fumin~s and fussings galore between the House and Senate over the pro position. The bill was, according to the tflrottle-holding members of the Senate to stay there and die, because of this purported agreement wI1ich, when transmitted to the senate, read: The Senate has unanimous ly passed a resolution postponing until tomorrow morning all matters pertaining to the Senate and the House" Previous to this agreement passing the Senate, the House pass ed a resolution agreeing to pass all Senate bills before the House, which was done, but not to accept any new bills except with the unanimous con sent of the house The house did this, the leaders saw hoping that the senate under the agreement purport- ed to have been reached between the houses relative to pendin0 business
 When, under the provision of this dRIGGHlGUI as UH lHS House a consideration was asked of the Senate for the Linney amend ment, the objectors of the Senate said that the resolution as passed the night before was in the rush of busi- ness not completed. and that il should have read, All matters per taining 10 the Senate and House still pending in conference" The resolu ton in this shape would cut of con, sideration of everything except the conference committee reports oi which there are a number.
 It is charged bv the members oI the House that personal dislike and jealousy of Speaker Linney by cer. tain members of the Senate has . great deal to do with the action or the bill while still others think that obstinacy has equally as much tc do with it.
 This amendment to the constitu ton has been endorsed by every board of supervisors in the state by the members of these boards 1T conference, by every good roads as soclation, every automobile assOci ation, and every chamber of com merce. It has been advocated by every automobile man, nearly every man who drives a horse and buggy and nearly all thp DeIae+r;anr and
