Arizona republican., 1913-04-05
Call Will Contain But Few Sections, Among Which Will Be Amendment to Constitution, Permitting Bond Issues
 MUST BE PASSED
Revenue Laws Asked for Governor Will Insist on Thorough Audit of State Prison by State Exam lner

Tn call for the third special session
 of the state legislature is now in course
 of preparation by Governor Hunt and his advisors. It is expected that it will be completed by tonight although t will not be issued until such time as it is determined the present session will have adjourned sine die. It is eA- pected that upon the reconvening of the house on Monday, the adjournment will be made-sine die, at which the the call will be issued calling the leSis- lature in additional extra session for Tuesday morning at 10:00.
 The call will contain but a few sub iects, among which it is rumored will be a request for an amendment tc the state constitution permitting Arizona to incur bonded indebtedness in excess of the S3500OO limit now provided m the constitution. This will enable the state, providing of course that the amendment is successful in passage and also prevails at a subsequent cleo l tion-which may be a special election called for that and other purposes-to !! sell the ten million dollars worth of bonds that le required and have been requested for the purposes of good | roads Further than this it is quite possible that additional bonds may be required for a projected state reclama- | tion service.
 It is a foregOne conclusion since no | appropriations have been passed by the present session that they will be in cluded in the call as will also the un completed portions of the code. But 1 the particular section which will refer | to the code will not set out the titles. 1 chapters and subjects such as did the ] first code call. It will be necessary ! owing to the fact the state will need money and the money must be raised l before it is spent to include the rev 1 enue producing laws in the call. Among these are the mine tax, the bill ampli | flying the powers of the tax commission, | known in the recent session as senate bill g. and the tax commission law, substitute senate bill 22
 The governor will also insist that his ! request for a thorough audit of the | books and accounts of the state prison ! an audit to be conducted by the state | examiner. w. H. Plunkett, be provided | for. And he will likewise insist upon | the passage of the three cent fare bill l which passed the senate during this | last session but did not succeed in 1 passing the house.
 The other two propositions likely to 1 be included in the call will be a re- ! quest for an appropriation for the pres 1 ent land commission in order to allow
 that body to complete the work it had 1 ,Iarf f,I- hn eyn nf ir.- rigation district bill which failed of
 pa ssage Thursday.
 l With this limited program before the session. although the constitutional l limitation of sixty days will apply just | the same, it is expected that but 2l | days at the outside will be necessary. l Senate Still Works. .. 1 Despite the fact that unless some | agreement is reached, relative to what 1 will be approved by the house when it
 reconvenes on Monday. the senate yes 1 terday continued with it's labor just the ] same as if it was the only deliberative 1 body eXtant It succeeded in reading l and putting upon final passage the , penal code, known as house bill AS to l which the house and the senate in con ference had agreed as far as the l amendments are concerned. It also passed house bill S4. providing for con- | tinuing in effect certificates of author ty issued to foreign surety and insur- ance companies doing business in state The senate then proceeded to follow out the recommendations of the com mittee in non- -concurring in the house amendments to the general appropria- aions bill. The senate did concur in
 the house amendments to the senate
 state treasurer bill which was trans
 mitted to the governor.
 The morning session of the senate
 was remarkable for one thing. Name
 ly. that a protest was allowed to be
 spread forthwith upon the minutes
 without the customary unconstitution-
 al procedure of referring it to com
 mittee. This protest came about as

 planatory and is herewith published in full so the people may know.
