Need of Additional Time to Complete Work Admitted Governor Will Wait Until He Knows Just What Has Been Done
REVENUE LAWS
 ARE URGENT
Otherwise the Appropria- tiOn Bill Is of Small Value Money Will Be Saved by Completing Task in Next Two Weeks

Among those who are close to the
 top of the present administration it is
 generally conceded that the call for
 the additional special session of the
 state legislature will be issued on
 Monday next or within a day of two
 of that date It has been realized in
 offical circles that the task out
 lined for the session has been entirely
 to great to admit of it's being com
 pleted. and that if the additional ses-
 sion is limited in its work to the con-
 sideration of those matters that have
 not been completed in the present session, the legislature can complete
 within two or three weeks.
 It has been practically admitted
 also that the work of the additional
 session will include that portion of the
 code that remains incomplete except
 the board of control bill. to which Governor Hunt is opposed, it will
 include also the revenue bills, and the appropriati that remain unpassed. When asked about the matter yester- day Governor Hunt said that he was not as had been intinated by cores pondence to certain out of the state papers intending to call the legislature in session during July for the purpose of getting even with them. He ad mitted that the task was incOmplete6 at this time, that the legislature is not to blame for the fact that the task in not complet, and that the legisla ture ought to be permitted 10 finish what it has been set to do
 This was as near as he would go to committing himself as to the spec ial session, absolutely, but he did go so far in a few of the minor mat ters of conversation on the qeutsion as to lead to the impression that the call would he prepared just as soon as he could apprise himself of the particular matters that are necessary to be placed in the call. This will take a few days
 The night session was spent largely in the consideration of the tax com- mission bill. substitute senate bill 3. but when the committee decided by a vote of one, on roll call to rise, the consideration of the bill was not completed and that part of the work remains undone. When the house adjourns this morning it will probably do so until Monday, although early this morning a decision had not been reached as to the time of ad- journment, although it will be as of midnight
 The first consideration of the house 1 last night was that of senate amend mentS to house bills. There were fourteen of these and the amendments were all concurred in unanimously and the bills sent to the governor. | Then the house took up the consid l era tiOn of the senate bills 202 and l 217 providing for additional appro- I priation for the attaches and passed | them soon after midnight.
 | Just as the consideration was about | to be taken up Murddock of Coconino
 of the minority went to the speakers desk and in a neat speech presented i Speaker Linney with a splendid gold
 watch, handsomely engraved. The
 speakers heart was too full for ut 1 terance for a few minutes, but he soon recovered his habitual calm demeanor, and returned his thanks | in splendid speech. He cOngratulat- 1 ed the men of the house on the work l they have done and the faithfuness with which they have attended to |
 attaches and shortly after that read 1 ing clerk Hardy was granted the priv 1 lege of the floor and in a neat speech
 presented the speaker with hand some diamond watch fob with the i seal of the fraternity to which the | speaker belonged at college thereon. 1 This was the occasion for more l speeches, while the crowded gallaries 1 looked on with pleasure and interest Chief Clerk Sweating was then pre-
 scented with handsome token from
 the attaches and returned thanks in a neat speech.
 The house during the day passed 1 number of bills the list of which is appended hereto. However, the big gest fight of the day came up on the
 land board matter when the considera .
 tion of S. B. 75 came up. This hill was first butchered by cutting out all but the enacting and emergency
 clause. then an amendment was sub.
 stituted making but one commissioner and providing that he be civil eng
 ineer. then the emergency was GU,
 off. so that the bill if approved wouIc
 not go into effect for thirty days
 The vote was just seventeen to six
 teen on this proposition.
 The house adjourned until Monday
 morning.
