UP IN
 SENATE AGAIN
More Time Spent On Get ting Record Straight for Third Consecutive Day Senate for Legislative Research Librarian.

Davis protest against the action of the senate in indefinitely postponing the Hunt county bill has assumed almost the insistent proportions of land legislation in the senate It ! showed up again yesterday for the third time in as many consecutive days. This time 1t has d further | protest tackled on to it. from no less a parsonage than the president of the senate himself President Cunnff | yesterday when he announced that l the Davis protest, according to the decision of the rules committee must l be re- written, stated that he would l also embOdy a protest to the protest. i Here Davis made another protest. | Already enough time has been con- | stunned in the upper house squabbling | about this protest, and the constitu- | against the action of he senate, to have saved probably the need of one extra night session this week It is | quite likely also that more time will 1 be spent on the proposition when it l is re written, and when the protest | to the protest makes it's appearance | At the two dollar minute rate, al
 ways supposing this is the correct
 rate for the cost of the senate, is 1 proving pretty expensive with the | large amount of protesting that is 1 being done.
 1 The senate is at last for legis- lative research librarian, one that
 will be the emplOye of the two hous-
 es of the legislature. one that will
 be appointed by the rules committee
 of both houses, one that will get | $2400 per year, one that will be of l service to the two houses during the | legislative sessions. and who will be 1 expected always to be primcd with | legal lore and expert knowledge on | subjects upon which the solons desire | to legialate Most of the senators | were for this proposition very heart fly, but Davis, of Maricopa. popped mp against it. He wanted the right
 to mill about over the proposed laws | to his hearts content, wanted tC have them as long as he wanted then l to be- objected to briefing them didn't want machine made legislation | was opposed to such a propositiO- | on general principles, it would ado

 and would create another office tC

 to the affiant unknown. It was
 largely whispered however that Davis chief objection to the bill was that
 since the protest squabble, he is not
 in favor of very many of the things
 the president of the senate is 1T
 favor of, on general principles.
 The Maricopa delegation split ul
 on the proposition, Davis going
 against it and Wood for it. The
 Cochise delegation split up on the
 bill, Sims going against it, and Rob ertS, in spite of the additional ap.
 propriation the bill entails, being fol it.
