D0|NGS OF THE
 STATE LEGISLATURE MONDAY
MONDAY

PHCENIX. Jan. 3O.-At 3:l5 this afternoon the Senate finally passed the m,ne tax bill by vote of fifteen to four Senators Claridge of Graham. Colter of Apache. Munds of Yavapai. and Webb. of Maricopa, voted in the negative
 A. A. Johns. for the Yavapai dee Sation. presented Speaker Brooks with a handsome gavel made from the door sill of the first territorial capitol in Pres colt, where the first legislature met and where much of the states early and thrilling political history was made The speaker responded and hoped that a mighty superstructure would be uilded upon the firm foundations laid " the pioneers.
 Petitions relative to the proposed amendments to the game laws were re- cived lnl i.sl
 A communication from the governor announced that the chief executive has signed the tax extension bill. which cx- tends the time for the payment of 1914 taxes until April next and remits pen alties aCcTuing The governor said that he regretted the emergency clause and hoped that i; would not establish a precedent This is the first measure of the session except the legislative ap- propristion bill to be extended into q completed law.
 No 5l. by LangfoTd, of Greenlee amends Section 2iOl of the revised statutes and provides that boards of supervisors shall meet al their respec- tive county seats on the first Monday in June next preceding a general elec- ton for state and county officials and divide their several counties into three supcrvisorial districts as nearly equal as possible in area, considering popula- ton and assessed valuation Such re- 1istrictiug is to be voted upon by the qualified electors and taxpayers not I.Sc tbar .un x-aake nor ,rnra than 2p days after such action. Should the re- diStricting plan be approved by a ma jority vote the county shall thereafter elect supervisors from such districts. The bill, it will be seen, does away with the at large" elections of supervisors and practically applies the ward sys- tenn to county affairs. giving each dis trict its own representative on the county board.
 No. 52. is the offer of James L. Ed wards. of Yuma, and seeks to amend civil code paragraphs relating to fees to be charged and collected by certain county officials
 Senate bill No. l7, known as the state fair emergency deficiency bill. ane carrying an appropriation of s2l,- OC0 passed its third reading. and now goes to the governor for his signature The measure provides Sl9, 30S to meet a deficit and sI692 for current expenses until the end of the current fiscal year June 3u.

TO, stop fighting Aided by other I r..cl, s;csuts a referendum was filed against the bill aud he voted upon a the last state election it was defeated by over three thousand majority.
 The bl' under discussion Monday morning was almost identical with tha, passed by the First The same old lines were rrad and the same old argu, merts wee made in its favor The only thing missing was the impassioned argument Of Judge Duncan against the bill
 Tie author of the present bill. profit ng by the . fa, of the old measure at the polls. has attempted to dodge pub lic sentiment by attaching to his meas u:e the emergency clause This much overworked emergency clause" provides tha; a bill is not subject to the referendum provision of the Constitu- ion. The Constitution says that the emergency clause may be attached to bills necessary for the protection of the public peace, health. or safety, but roth the lett and the spirit of the Constitution are evaded almost daily iu order that measures may not be su' . ected to the referendum. This point vas drought up Monday morning by NIT. Powers of AIaIicopa, but the au- ,aor Of the bill spent a good many dol lars worth of time trying to show that his measure was for the protection of the public health, peace and safety. The arg gument is too far-ietched to be touched upon here
 After discussing the bill for an hour or more in committee of the whole it was decided to refer the bill to the judi ciary committee in order that certain changes might be made m it We may be mistaken, but at the present time ii looks as if the bill would pass but not with the emergency clause. AS LONG AS THE REFERENDUM IS IN THE CONSTITUTION IT IS NEITHER RIGHT NOR PROPER TO PLACE SUCH LEGISLATION ABOVE ITS PROVISIONS.-Dunbar's Weekly.

 RAINY HOLLOW
 COPPER REGION

Rainy Hollow copper mine opners are hopeful that the present high prices for copper win result in the opening of that rich district, accord ing to Judge J. J. Kennedy. Of Haines who is a Juneau visitor. Engineers representing Col. w. l.. Stevenson are Investigating that country now, and it Is said that if they are satisfied with it and the owners win make sat. isfactory terms. they win take over Che properties and provide the mon. ely for their development
 The Rainy Hollow copper district has been one of the attractive sec tons Of the country for many years aud mining men say that only the low copper prices that were intro duced with the 1907 panic prevented its development long ago. The de velopment would require the con struction of a railroad from Haines
 Judge Kennedy. who is United States commissioner at Haines. was recently named as postmaster for that place.
