HUNT SUBJECT
 0F MUCH TALK
Some Members of Both House and Senate Deliver Long Speeches On Ger tain Policies of the Chief Executive of Arizona

i Governor Hunt and his policies were 1 the source of much comment, castiga- | tion, and defense in both the senate and the house of representatives yester- | day afternoon. In the senate the chief attack was made by Hubbell of Apache, | who in a two hours speech attacked the prison policy, especially that DOT 1 ton of 1t that has direct reference to I the work of the prisoners on the roads ! Of the state and the cost of the keep i of the men for the work that had been i done with them Hubbell was equipped | with several pages of figures which he l read and explained. He claimed that more had been paid for goods than was l necessary Tn some cases as much as 1 twenty and thirty per cent
 i The governor however was not with 1 out his defenders. It was shown in de- fense for the cost of the prisoners on the roads that it cost 40 cents more per man to keep the prisoners at Globe and Ray than it did at the penitentiary 1 at Florence. However Pace had an 1 amendment to the bill, senate bill 24 providing for working prisoners on the public highways, which provided that no money should be paid out, or con- | tracts for supplies made except in q manner provided by law. This was ac- cepted by the majority, Harrison pre- 1 sided in the committee of the whole. When the code bill on eminent do- main was up Wood endeavorad to amend the bill by inserting the Lousi- ana provision without success, but l Davis succeeded in getting his amend 1 ment providing that no foreign corpor- atiOn can avail itself of the privileges 1 of the law. The effect of this is to 1 make all corporations maintain organ 1 izatiOn and general offices within the state.
 In the house. Captain Kelton. in the 1 committee of the whole occupied the 1 center of the stage with long speech on the amendment he proposed to the 1 penal code when it was before the l house last session, restricting the pow l CTS of the governor over pardons, re- prieves, communications and paroles He spoke for nearly an hour and declared that Governor Hunt had broken the l law when he had stayed the sentences of the five murderers in order that q vote upon capital punishment might be had by the people. However Governor Hunt here had a number of defenders also. chief among whom was Whipple Of Greenlee who demanded to be shown wherein the governor had gone out side his constitutional rights and per ogatives in staying the executions. Whipple proposed that the section 12SS be cut from the bill and afterward It in, hny, ofs Ri hui 1a accepted Irvines motion to the same effect. This was lost on roll call both in committee and in the house. Brooks tried to get the section out from the bill. but without effect. Lynch, Bar l<er and others said the responsibility 1 rested upon the legislature to do it's duty with the bill and pass it as it was. They were perfectly willing to let the l case rest with the people. Even though , Governor Hunt vetoed the bill again. r Finally call of the house was de- ? manded on a roll call. and things looked ; fair to be tied up for the rest of the night. but after Bradner Hall and oth- CTS had spread protests on the journal the house succeeded in adjourning, first deciding 10 pass the bill just as it was introduced and just as vetoed by the l governor.
