ARIZONA DEMANDS STRICT ACCOUNTABILITY"
 The worst fears of the decent man and of Ari- zona concerning the second Legislature Every clean and optimistic hope possessed by the Com monwealth in the integrity of its so-caed flaw makers and it's Governor been shattered. The Chief Exec utiye of the State upon whom the last analysis the responsibility rests shameessy sponsors the acts which forge iaconroverible evidence of his treason to Ari- zoaas welfare and his tratOrahip to the party which elected him.
 The full extent of Governor Hunts cuipablity and the completeness of the Legislatures connyanco are realized when due attention is accorded the respective parts they have played The Chief Executive alone have the power to summon the Legislature in extraordinary ses- sion The Chief Executive alone decides what matters shall be taken up in extraordinary session So rsspon- sbilitv for tho csu and responsibility for the program rest solely with Governor Hunt But the Legislature can reject program be iniquitous, thus nulifying a gubernatorial summons Only through the harmonious actions of Governor and Legislature can good or bad legislation be secured
 Tho evidence adduced from the regular session and the first extra session the integrity of Governor Hunt and the sincerity of the Legislature be as sumed-if the most charitable view be taken-as merely suggesting thai an indictment might lay against them Proof of guilt awaited the acts of tho Governor and the cssature at the second extra session. This proof has been supplied with brazen unconce at the very start
 The lower house over which Hunt admittedly hes con ro passed an appropriation S45OOo insure six yday sitting The lower house thus makes provision for itself without the decency Of first delivering the goods The lower house knows that the taxpayers would protest against accepting the legislative offering at the
 dO1- well { p1f plC powers of disbursng the taxpayers money, the lower house tbsts it's hands into the treasury and abstracts what it likes What is the result? Unless the Senate halts the steal the legislature will have cost, the tax payers of Arizona approximately s15ooO in cash anC the State stigma of disgrace in the eyes of the Nation
 The Democratic platform on which Governor Hunt wa. elected contained pledge 10 promote economy in th' administration Of the States affairs. Hunt subscribed to this pledge Yet his call for this latest extaordn ary session he the impotence to asserve that th Legislature would act "In the interest Of both ECON O1ly and good government" On the same day that hi message was read of his whips in the lower house Powers proposed the appropriation of Si5ooo Is i fair 10 assume that Powers submitted this propos' without Hunts approval? IT, indeed Powers acted with ou, the authorization of Governor did Hunt tal" steps to repudate the activity of his political whip Let Hunt 95te answer to u,is query.
 The situation would take on another complexion there wero urgent need Of thc legislation proposed t5 Governors call Except in the Of land code the proposals are either trivial or whimsical Do m trDayers of the State in the expenditure Of Si5 GOO in addition to the 57OOOo already wasted for blat er.kitng over whimsicalities and tfyiaiues? Do th taxpayers propose to sit idly while their revenue was ed in the elaboration Of ulterior projects which ar parently the Hunt gang have in view. Arc the chai scter Of these projects SO shady that the adminiatrato fears to take the public into confidence until the Fa is sprung?
 Cochise county, uuhapply, shares in the shame pu upon it by its representatives in the lower house n CD same relative measure as other counties with equal .pineIess and culpabe representatives. Of the entr membership of the lower house, only two MEN, Christ and pukIey. voted against the Sl5.OOO grab.
 Through Che State are heard general expressions Cha Arizona feels herself outraged but is futile for Dent crats Republicans and members of any other party coneine their feelings to cries of outrageous' Wit tbe presence of Chief Executive who has betrayed t peope and is a traitor to his party with Che presen' Inf errlaure which, for personal gain, does not hea st, to loot lhe ueaslr. m Che lace of circumstance
