 The anti lobbying matter will not | stay killed. It rose again yesterday i when Brooks proposed an anti lob ! bying rule for the house. It showed i it's head still once more when the | senate bill passed the day before one ! Of the most drastic measures ever at 1 tempted to be placed upon any statute [ bObks, came in from the upper house, l
 ind the fight came to the surface l again when the desire was made 1 known that il might be advisable to postpone indefinitely. Irvine's mea- sure prohibiting lobbying The de sire. of the house impelled by some sort of mistaken idea of public senti- ment and with the added notion that the constitutional convention placed an actual mandate on this legislature to pass such a measure is evidenced every time the proposition is opened. The sum total of all the talk yes terday was to take the action of the day before indefinitely postponing the bill and to refer the matter together with the senate bill to the commit i tee of the whole So the effect of it is that the bills are in practically the same shape they were prior to the 1 session on Wednesday.
 Brooks arising to the time brought i up his new rule 64a, which made plain the qualifications necessary for 1 one to practice as q legislative agent l before the legislature. The thought 1 this was all However in his rule he l had d clause that set out the appli- 1 cant must state what committee he 1 desired to see and what object he de 1 sired to talk about This didn't suit ] Graham of Cochise who wanted that 1 changed. Saxon, while generally con ! curing with the Cochise county gen 1 tlepan differed with him in some | particulars and wanted the business l changed to suit him. He wanted 1 subject Instead of committee and bill ] name put into the proposition so that [ once in the lobbyist could stay in. All 1 these however were voted down
 | Something funny happened to house l Bill s. House bill for the benefit l of those who know not. is that mea- 1 sure proposed by Irvine calling for a ! registratiOn in the coming summer so 1 that all the women may be sure to | be qualified to vote if an election l comes off When the committee re- l ported on the bill on Wednesday they 1 reported out d substitute for the bill. 1 known as sub. H. E. S. The record of 1 the proceeding of that day however 1 showed no reference tU the bill. Here 1 something took place in the way of iTtalking. Every member who had had 1 any discussion on the bill remembered distinctly what had taken place. vet l there was no record of it. but the 1 substitute bill had been printed What 1 was to be done? Who had frsked the bill Who had monkeyed with the record? The whole thing was as mysterious as it. was eXasperating. 1 Finally it was decided to put the bill i,back on the calendar of the commit tee of the whole. where it was on l Wednesday, All this tells the story of an afternoon spent in doubling the l work of a previous afternoon. on ac- count of the fault of somebody. l Who?
 Another bill turned up missing. It was Vessels Yuma bridge bill from the senate which had been sent into committee. and with which was also
 the Kerr bill, d similar. measure, but which had been recalled from the
 senate to be handled in conjunction
 with the senate bill by the house com
 mittee A recess of five minutes which
 stretched itself into half an hour
 was then taken while the business
 was found and matters strengthened
 up When the recess was over and
 the bill brought up properly an
 amendment was tackled to it, and
 Brooks objected to- passing the bill without engrossing Bradner insisted
 that it would be the heighth of inn pertinence for the house to engross
 senate bill and made it stick The
 bill went through the several stages to final passage and then through without division.
 Legislative Lore.
 The senate yesterday afternoon looked more like meeting of the aIhalgamated union of proof readers
 than anything else. A number of the printed copies of the journal had been allowed to accumulate and it was nee essary to get them out of the way, so more than an hour was spent in cor rfcting the journal for these several days Clerk Pearson had some reading to do to get through with it all.
 Little Business.
 Aside from reference of bills to con- Inittees and the introduction of bills . one bill and two memorials were fin ally passed in the senate yesterday af- ternoon. Hughes bill prohibiting let ting contracts for state printing to firms outside the state. as well as Prohibiting firms within the state tc
 whom the contracts are let allowing
 any, ef1the. work to be done outside the
 state. ,s
 sThis bill comes up as a result of the
 contract for the journal of the last ses- ! -sfons of this legislature. Competitive
 bids were asked for and the contract
