.ONE MORE DAY
 AND THEN WHAT?
Law Makers on Hand for Fight on Many Measures
 and Support of Others; May Have Two Sessions of Legislative Assembly

Within tWenty-four hours from to-
 day the solons of the state of Arizona
 who were gathered in special session
 less than one year ago will again
 meet in their separate houses in the
 state houses for the purpose of con-
 sidering still further legislation for
 the state. The governors call has
 gone forth and in answer to it the
 law making bodies are now gathering
 to consider such matters and things
 as he may see fit to lay before them. This session. it is predicted by
 those who are supposed to be high in the counsels of the dominate party
 in the state, will be no bed of roses. There are members of the legislature,
 and it is said they are in the ma-
 jority, who are out with the proverbial axe for the present administration. Under the provisions of the con- stitution the legislature at a special session cannot consider any legisld- tion except that which pertains by title and context to some section of the governors call. Governor Hunt knows this and in order to give the bodies free reign in their law making function he has let the bars down so to speak. In his call are seventy five propositions named by general title so that they include every legal proposition that is to be considered in the code revision, as we'll as a nubmer of new matters of legislation | that have become urgent according to the governor and need considera tiOn at this session.
 The length of the call has led many to believe it will be impossible to complete the work of legislation within the sixty days that are all | lowed by law for the special session. ! In the former meetings of the solons the disposition not to work unless the pay were forthcoming was shown making the call for the second ses- sion of the first legislature urgent and practically mandatory. This is | believed to be the feeling at this session also. It is a known fact, ! however, that President M G. Cunniff 1 of the senate favors putting in a | few days without pay for thes good of | the state and finishing the program Practically all the members of both houses were on deck last night only | Senator A A. WorsIey of Pima 1 county had not arrived to complete | the membership of that body. while | R. J. Cooke of Maricopa who lives in l the Arlington district was one oi l the very few representatives that were 1 not on the spot.
 Last year the political activities | of the members of both houses seem
 ed to gather largely around the Forc 1 hotel It was there the caucus on the | Sunday evening before the opening | of the session was held, and it was | there most of the star chamber ses- | sions of select groups of the states | politicians took place. This veal | most of them seem to be around the | Adams hotel while it is an opeT | secret that what star chambering l: done will take place in the rooms O i the democratic county committee II the Fleming block, on the secont l floor facing back and where the ligh l of the midnight oil will not be obvious l to the passerby.
