Will Probably Appoint One Committee to Visit and De- termine needs of All State Institutions
MANY NEW MEASURES
 PLACED BEFORE HOUSE
Lee Says Direct Legislation Proposition Should Have Little Weight With Mem bers of Legislature.

PHOENIX. Jan. 29.-To determine at first hand the exact needs Of state institutions, a legislative committee consisting of three representatives and two selators will visit such at an early date and report to the legis. lature if a resolution adopted by the house today on motion of Powers is approved by the senate There was some talk of numerous committees being named following out the junk ct scheme of former years, but as agreed to one committee will visit all institutions
 There were many new bills in the house One was by MacLain propos- ing to change the name of the Tempe Normal School to State Normal Col lege of Arizona, and furtnering en- larging the scope of the institution making the course of study more ex- tensive The bill also creates an an nual scholarship at the Tempe school for each high school in the state at the expense of the state.
 The bin proposing to abolish the taking of tbe state school census was killed in the house, it having been shown that under the new plan for apporuonment of state school funds on a basis of attendance in place of census that Maricopa and Pima counties would receive materi- ally less apportionment than under the present law. The votes of these counties added to existing opposition killed the bin
 The semi-annual tax payment bill by Johns came near following after the school census. it being argued by Goodwin that the legislature should not consider legislation which had been rejected by the vote of the peo- pie. Such was the situation confront ing the proposed law. Lee took this occasion to inject discussion of the wisdom of direct legislation and eX- pressed the belief which was in his mind, that the vote of the people meant little if anything since they had just passed a bill the old age and mothers pension, which was uni. versally recognized as bad That Goodwin's suggestion to indefinitely postpone the bnl was rejected in the face of arguments presented. is talk en as an indication that the house will not hesitate to enact the senate bill repeating the Mothers Pension when the same comes up for consid erauon
 The semi-annual tax bill, however was sent to the ways and means com mittee for certain amendments agreed upon
 Graham called up the bill givinl extensive powers to justices of the peace in examination of witnesses prior to filing of information which has been argued by prohibitionists and the bin was without debate killed
