 to enter into an investigation and MT. Christy said that he would not insist upon it at this late hour The people of Arizona must submit to misTu'e for two years more.
 Regarding the Proctor motion. Speaker Brooks said that that could be cn crtained only on the written req-er; of the appropriations com mittee. \ preliminary vote deVel- oped tn" fact that the administration element had the ma iority. That was shown in the vote on motion by Mir. Johns for tenminute recess. ater recess of three minutes was agreed to to allow the appropria tions committee time to formulate it's request. That recess stretched out to fifteen minutes.
 After the submission of majority and minority requests the former was adopted by vote of 20 to 13 and the appropriations bill was soon after taken up.
 The first thing was to restore the section providing for the payment
 
 ficials bonds. In the section of the bill relating to the state historian. the items in one of the clauses were segregated but not changed. In the section providing for the collection of material for the state history. the amount of the appropriation was re- duced from 5000 to s2500 but an ,t ing $55Oo to pay for the publication of the two volumes already com pleted
 There were many other collisions during the morning session but they resulted in no material alterations of the bill It was frequently brought out that nobody seemed to know why certain appropriation had been ! proposed. But if the men who had 1 framed the bill did not know wheth CT it was right or not outsiders had no edge on them" for they could not know either.
 | In the afternoon session. before the appropriation bill was resumed 1 in the committee a message was re- ! Ceived from the house stating that ! it had refused to concur in the house amendment to the public wei fare bill and conferees were appoint 1 ed. At the same time q conference | report on the senate bill fo: the reg ulation and limitation of public eX- penditures was received The report was adopted but the vote on it dis closed that the extreme administra ! tion element was opposed to it. The chief object of opposition was a clause of the bill to prevent the promiscuous purchase of automobile, and the hiring of chauffeurs
 In the course of the debate upon the sections relating to the office of ,the tax commission, MT. ChristN iocularly suggested provisions should be made for a paid lobbyist of the commission.
 When the land commission sec tions were reached there was a heat ed debate over the propriety of goine farther with the appropriation bil at this time. Mir Goodwin said tha the land code especially for tn, farmers of this valley. was fa more important matter, but in tin subsequent voting his colleagues di, not appear to be of that mind.
 It was urged that the appropria tion bill could not be proceeded witt until there had been a disposition 0 the land bill for as matters nov stood and would stand unless a Ian, code were adopted. there would b no land commission for which t make provision. That seemed a req sonable suggestion but the dire nee' of getting the bill out of the hand of the house before the adiournmen of the session overrode it. Nh Goodwin, turning to Messrs. Power and Vaughn, said:
 ''I made only one pledge to tn voters of this county last fall an that was that I would try to secur a land bill that would be just to tn state and to the holders of the schoo lands for whom no provisions hay been made. My colleagues too mad such pledge
 The reply of Mir. Vaughn to whic I ane. for evidently angered oy Nil Goodwin he accused him of talkin to the galleries and said. Fortunate ly there are not many school Ian people there today" All the Ian commission sections were passe over.
 When the sections of the bill mali | i'm fnr tt .,ff agricultural experiment station wer reached it was made known that M Acuff was something of an orato and that he was not in favor of az Iicultural experimentation. He hat he said. been connected with the ex pertinent station in this valley ft ten years and he could not say tha any farmer had been benefited be cause of the station. Some of tn men at the head. he said. were mer theorists and one of them was craz. The latter had on one occasion depu tized him to put peach tree bloom under an anaesthetic to keep thel from bursting out prematurely.
 At the close of his remarks NJ half of the station and he especial opposed an amendment by MT. Acu to reduce the appropriation for
 large experiment station east Mesa from S1S,0OO to S9.000 But u amendment prevailed and then al tacks were made on other sectior with little result. It was expecte that a fight would be precipitate over the section for the payment the eyDenseS of the new hoard ,
