3C. FARE BILL PASSES HOUSE
After Opinion by Attorney General Bullard House Decides to Cut Off the Emergency Clause and Pass Bill

The house of representatives yes
 cent fare bill with the emergency clause tackled on it. This is the
 Cuniff bin, $. B. 5S of the last ses-
 sion that was rushed through the
 senate under an, absolute suspension
 of the rules in about fifteen minutes
 and sent over to the house about
 the middle of the session. The house
 held up the bill and when the ses-
 sion closed the bill was still up
 and died that way.
 When the new session opened Sen
 ator cuniff had succeeded in get
 ting the bill into the code commit
 tee so that it was rentroduced as
 $. E, 19 by the committee on the
 revision of the code. It passed the
 senate in almost as quick time as
 before, but again it found difficulty
 in the house. So much so that it
 was decided by two resolutions to
 submit certain parliamentary and le-
 gal questions to the attorney general relative tON the emergency clause which was attached to the bill The bill was therefore naturally held up until the time that the at torney general could reply to the questions. This he did yesterday. The answers of the attorney gen eral stated that unless a bill with
 an emergency clause passed both houses by a two- third majority the
 bill was lost and it must be amend ed by striking out the emergency tnln nt al also of the opinion that the bill ready needed an emergency clause to it. That the people had demanded ! a three cent fare bill by an over whelming majority in an opinion eX- pressed at the poles, and that his l belief was that with the emergency attached to the bill at this passage l it would sweep away a whole cloud Of technicalities that now harassed the prosecution of the law by the corporation commission because of the suits pending against the state 1 in the federal court
 1 The method used in the house to accomplish this was first to vote up
 on final passage of the bill and the , bill was defeated. Then the vote i was reconsidered and the bill amend ed cutting out the emergency clause ] Then the bill was put upon final passage again and prevailed by a 1 vote of Is to II.
 ] In the afternoon the committee of the whole held a busy session and i took up a number of bills most of which were the experimental wells bills, which it was decided to post pone The Brooks bill on the hours 1 of labor for two women, which had been amended so many times that it 1 now exempts nearly every class of women who held an objection to the bill in the first place. This bill was approved.
 In the senate the proposition of the representation of the different sides of a controversy on bill that had been sent to conference was brought by Sims of Cochise. It was contended that it there were defi- nitely two parties in the senate over ed in the vote there should be re- presentation in conference commit tee of both the sides. However 1t was also contended that the confer= ence committee being the creature of the body was susceptible of receiv ing instructions from the senate as to which way to hold in q matter of conference, and it would make no difference who was apDOinted to the
