MEMBERS CHAFING
 AT THEIR BONDS
Some Hint That General Appropriation Bill Will Be Subjected to Restric- tions as a Retaliatory Measure

At ten o'clock this morning the second state legislature will be in extra session That is the hour named in the call of the governor The constitution fixes the hour for the conyening of regular, sessions at noon. but in the matter of extra ses- sions. all is left to the discretion of the governor, even to the selection of Hangman's day for the opening.
 Nearly all the members of both houses had arrived in town last night Most of them. in fact were on hand early in the morning and there was a prodigious handshalling about the hotel lobbies. Men who had dessembled their love for one an other in the closing hours of the last session. greeted one another as long lost brothers.
 In the informal talks there stuck out no signs of a serious disagree ment In fact, there was little to disagree over. There was really nothing except the general appropria- tfon nlll and the details of that were not gone into. There was however some fear expressed that the approp- riation bill might not quite meet the Views of the governor. Most of the members of both houses who eX- pressed themselves believed that the bill should be pared down to the quick: that it should be passed as quickly as possible, that tine governor should have time to pass upon it be- fore adjournment so that if there should he any disagreement between him and the legislature. the latter might have another word.
 Most of the members who have been seen are unwilling to accept the bill brought into the house in the last session as basis even for the ap- propriation bill to be considered They think that it would take a great deal more time correct that measure and strike out the items that they will insist should be stric- ken out than it would take to pre- pare a bill de novo.
 While the bill is in course of prep aratfon by the house under the governors call there will be nothing that the senate can do It was sug gested last night that it might meet from day to day and adjourn or that il might take a recess until the house completes it's bill.
 There was a discussion among members of the house yesterday con corning means to facilitate the con sideration of the bill in that body IL was suggested that the appropria- tions committee might prepare it in sections and as soon as each section is finished, report it to the house for consideration in the committee of the whole where such changes may be made as the house desires. By the time the committee on appropriations should complete the last section or division the whole committee would be ready to consider it and report it ta the house for final action. It's passage would then be only a matter of minutes. Such a procedure is without precedent. but in the ab sence of. rules forbidding it. it was argued that the legislature might well set a precedent.
 As to the length of the session, the estimates of members yesterday var jed from ten days to a month but the average guesses were two weeks. Said Mrs Munds. the junior senator from Yavapai: "We ought to be ready to adjourn in ten days If the legislature is in session at the end of thirty days every member of it ought to be recalled 1T We have not ad- journed by that time I will sign a Ieetition for my own recall"
 Early yesterday morning some of the members of the house suggested a caucus but the reply was made that there was no subject for caucus There was only the appropriation bill to be considered and the futility of an attempt to agree upon that meas ure within a few minutes was made readily apparent.
