say to the gentlemen who have worked with me and who have been designated as administration men, can perform no better service to the state than to unite in an agreement. In your present frame of mind, God Almighty and all the angels in hea- ven. through you, could not frame an appropriation bill that would be satisfactory to all
 MT Proctor regretted that he had not the command of the English language possessed by MT. Powers for the expression of his feelings But he said that in the remarks of that gentleman he found no solution for the present difficulty The at tempts at compromise had been nothing but a demand for surrender on the part of the house. The sen ate had conceded nothing but salaries No principle of government had been recognized in the framing of the agreement.
 Reversals of Opinion
 MT. Graham saw things running into the ditch and asked why time was being wasted in a hopeless en- terprise A vote was then taken on the appropriation for the mining and CT gineering building and the house voted not to concur by 16 to IS. A period of Oratory ensued and the speaker begged for more action and less wind. These long talks" he said, will not change a vote Let us get through A little later the vote on the mining and engineering building appropriation was recon sidered and the house by a vote of 19 to 16 concurred.
 The senate amendment for an ap- propriation of $4SOOO for a dormitory of the Northern Arizona Normal school was then taken up and was voted down, 16 to 1S Later there was reconsideration and concurrence by IS to 16. The house then entered upon the state fair section but a lit tie later that was deemed to be the business of the senate.
 The house refused to concur in the good roads section for the reason that a special appropriation of $30,000 for the counties of Navajo and Apache was taken by the senate from the states share of the S5OO,O00 appropri- ation.
 The matter of the special rule for the consideration of the conference report was brought up on a motion by MT. Flanagan who moved for it's suspension in order that quicker ac- tion might be had on the report. He declared that he offered this motion as a time saving device. The mo- tion was defeated by a tie vote. Change of Tactics
 In the afternoon after a conference in the speakers room, MT. Proctor offered a motion to return the re- port to the conference committee with special mention of the four subjects already described. Objection was made by MT Graham that that could not be done; there was no pre- cedent. MT Goodwin referred to the plan as the result of a, secret incu- bation which the members had not been allowed to witness but were now presented with the product which they could not understand. MT Goodwin was later modified by the acceptance of instructions to the conferees of the house to insist upon dormitory for the Tempe normal at ton was then adopted. There was little opposition to the Goodwin sug- gestiOn which was adopted by vote of 2S to 6, nearly all the members declaring as they voted that they were opposed to this as to all other pub lie buildings but having voted for the others they would not balk at this last one. 'Peccavi'' muttered each member as he voted aye"
 It was then decided as the naxt step to suspend temporarily the sDe- cial order for considering the confer ence report and went before the house, whereupon MT. Marian wanted to know if this is the same report we have been chewing the rag on since Saturday" Being treasured. the report was rejected by a vote of 1c to 21. MT. Powers wantcd to know if any member wanted his job on the committed No" :rNo,'' from all parts of the house. Then the committee was instructed to urge the Goodwin amendment, by a vote of 9 to ,.
 The clerk was directed to inform the senate of the action of the house and a recess was taken subject to the call of the gavel. The foregoing record is not quite chronological. The conference report had not yet been returned. only the matter set forth in the Proctor amendment But be- fore the senate had taken any action on it the house was reconvened and the conference report was acted upon 2 nd rejected.
 Senate Self Denial
 The senate had been in session in the morning for a minute and for an- other minute in the afternoon At the time of the message from tie house it was at recess and it was after an interminab1e delay that it was convened and the message re- ceived The senate conferees were named and President Sims ruled the Goodwin amendment out as not ger mane.
 The senate in the morning had adopted a concurrent resolution ap- propriating $500 for the salaries of the attaches. Here was Christian self denial for the members salaries were overdue and nothing for the payment of them. The resolution in this form went to the house where the amount of the appropriation was
