ARIZONA BOARD OF CONTROL CAUSES
ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE IN LEGISLATURE

- HOENIX, Ariz., March 14-After
~ the most heated debate of the
present session, in which per
sOnality entered more than once and
innuendo was the most prominent fea-
ture, the house yesterday decided to give
the board of control bill, introduced by
the committee on state institutions and
designed to shear the governor of his
power over the conduct of the states
business, a third reading. The vote was
19 to IA, and it VIII probably be the
same when the bill is placed on final
passage
The action of the house does not mean
that the bill viii become law. 1t
takes no expert IN political prOgnOstica
tion to peer into the future and see
deep grave for the measure in the senate.
Even If the senate should pass it, 1t
would be impossible to pass it after
the governor had exercised the veto
power, and no one acquainted with the
present situation can doubt for a mo-
ment that he would use that power
At present the board of control cOn-
sists Of the governor, the auditor and
citizen member appointed by the gov
ernOr. The objection to this arrange
ment Is that 1t gives the governor absO-
lutte control, since he has the power TO
remove the citizen member at any time
The committees bill provides that the
board shall consist of the governor, au-
ditOr and attorney general, and that 1t

controversy between the house and the
governor The governor, in his letter
to the legislature denied that the law

point Of view so successful
Now attorney general Billiard, who

friend of the governor, says that the
laws have been violated If the gov

ney general he viii abandon his sys-
tenn and purchase supplies only by con-
tract, after competitive bids have been
called for.
BuIIard says in his letter to the board
