 COMING WEEK
Legislature Eases off but Pre- pares for Heavy Work During the Coming Week House Plans
LABOR MEMBERS TRY
 OUT THEIR STRENGTH
Prohibition Bill, as Recon meded for Passage Seems Doomed to Defeat -Substi tute Like to Come Out.

PHOENIN Feb. 6. - Yesterdays holiday lessened the activity of Ari- zona's lawmakers with the result that today's record showed little of con sequence. Great preparations are be- ing made for the coming week. es- peciauy in the house where the Clay pool-Keunedy bin. the mine tax bin and the Powers prohibition regula- ton bin will be up for definite con siderauou In the meantime the sen ate win take up and finally dispose of the public welfare board bill and probably win begin consideration ot the land laws and good roads bills.
 Labor members in the house today tried to force a vote on the Kinney bin, it being the program to put the prohibiuonisas and mine bin support els to the test on theii bill before they in turn are forced to yoite on tht other two measures. Fourteen members of the house voted 10 m- mediately consider the bill. while seventeen opposed. four being absent
 The absentees are equally divided as to the Kinney bill, which indicates that the measure will have difficulty in mastering sufficient votes to pass it through the house.
 The mine taN bin has made little progress. although the Maricopa coun- ty members have indicated that they would support the bills passage if several amendments could be agreed to- Senate leaders. however are ln- sistent that the bin be accepted by the house in tre form in which it passed the senate. and unless they give in. the outcome is indeed prob lematical
 The prohibition bill in the form recommended for passage by the ju- diciary committee, is hopeless oi passage and it seems probable now trat statute in the wording of the constitutional amendment will be of- fered in a bin with five exemptions from the operation of the prohibito- " clause, namely. uses of wines or alcohol for scientific sacramental or medicinal purposes; shipment into state of liquor of beverages for per sCnal use of consisuee; and fifth. un, restricted sale of beverages carrying two percent or less alcohol.
 The house and senate would pass such a bnl if an agreement could be reached for passage of some greatly desired labor measures but it is doubtful if such an agreement could be made on the Kinney bill
 The senate today approved the pro posed constitutional amendment re quiring a majority vote on direct leg islauon measures. This action was taken in Che committee of the whol, and the bin ordered prepared for it# final passage Monday In the house Brooks introduced a bill providini for a state flag a lone copper coloreC star on the lower half of blue field the upper half, a rising sun with thir teen spreading rays and seven O light yellow and six red
