 persistent purveyor of misrepresenta- tion and abuse of the men whose only crime was to stand immovably for the things they deemed to be right, dared not deny it.
 When, in spite of all the opposi- ti0n that could be brought to bear against the bill, it became evident to the solons of the senate and particu- larly to the junior senator from Mari copa. that the House was going to pass the bill before 1t adjourned. the, senate disgraced itself by proceedings which for infamous infamy are withl cue parallel in the legislative history of Arizona At five o'clock D. m., on the last day of the session the House, sitting as a committee of the whole had almost finished it's work upon the appropriation bill. when a committees from the senate entered the House with a message to the effect tItt the senate was ready to adjourn sine die This message had the effect upon the House that the senate had anticipated it would have Instantly all was con, fusion, a wild scrambling of the mem bers 10 get pet measures passed be- fore adjournment. The so-called ad- ministration bunch, realizing that all hope of getting the appropriation bill through was gone, joined in the effort to get as many of the worthy bills, which were on the calendar for third reading, through as possible. Even this laudable effort was not accepta- ble to the senator from Maricopa who must bear the burden of responsibili- ty for the death of number of wor- thy bills. At about nine o'clock, Sem ator Stapley introduced in the senate the following resolution or motion, which was the cap stone of infamy in the proceedings of this champion of the peoples rights and is absolute proof that the senate had from the first days of the session attempted to,' dictate to the majority of the House what they should and should not do. Here is the resolution which rang the death knell of many important meas ures and made an extra session of the legislature an absolute certainty

The infamy of the whole thing is the more apparent when it is borne in mind that the senate hal already pass ed so-called land, prohibition and bank ing codes which the senator admits in his motion were not what the peo- pie wanted The fact of the matter is that thehe bills were never intended by the senate to become laws in thd shape in which 1t passed them, but were merely dumped upon the House as a part of the program to delay the progress of the appropriation bill
 Now, when Senator Stapley intro- duced that motion which was in effect an ultimatum to the House, he well knew that the only bone of contentiom between the senate and the Housd was the Mine Tax Bill He and all his fellow senators well knew that if ! that bill had been left out of the send ators motion the House would have gladly concurred, the session would ! have continued, all the important bills | would have been passed, the demo | cratic party would have redeemed it's prediction pledges, the people of the state, with the possible exception of the mining corporations, would have been satisfied Now, for the seRRtoH
