OAEE4SolAE MS 4AA1-AA0A Al-41 da-4A 44--Sr
senator WOrsley said:
''The annual appropriation for carry
ing on the work OF the war department
is $3.50. 100000 Think what could be
accomplished in the reclamation Of arid
lands with only S25, 600 900 Of that sum-
AS at present organized, the postal
oanhng system IS only means OF
gathering in the peoples money for the
dig interests No one can deposit
more than $500 ana no one is permitted
to borrow unless he can offer govern
ment bonds as security Real estate
should be accepted as security.
The law now provides that no one
shall slaughter more than two beeves
in year without paying a license to
the state. I do not believe that there
should be any restriction on man
slaughtering his own cattle and hope
to have the license law repealed
Normal school Land
Years ago the Arizona legislature
passed a law granting to the Tempe
Normal $4,000 acres OF school land
lying in MaricOpa county The grant
was not to be made TIL Arizona be-
came a state A law empowering the
schools agents to pick out the land
might have been passed at the first
session OF this legislature but some
one overlooked the grant There are
$4,000 acres Of school land under cUl-
ttTatiOn in MaricOpa county. Think
what would have happened had the /
normal taken al but 1000 acres Of
Senator Worsley will introduce an /
amendment to the game law, prohibit /
ing the sale Of game and propi6iting |
the carrying Of firearms unless the /
carrier has a license.
