LAND BILL DEBATE
(Continued from Page One)

MT. Goodwin complained that even the slight abatement of the nuisance that had resulted from the earlier resolution of Mrs. Barry against smoking had not afforded him relief and, what would be his state if all the bars were thrown down?' But the resolution was adopted and there was dragging of pipes and cigars from their hiding places and the chamber hissed with the scratching of matches
 Some doubt was expressed by sev- eral house members as to the word "asinine' which Senator GoldWater had used to characterize the action of the house in amending the senate
 old age and mothers pension bill.
 whether 1t had been employed by the senior senator from Yavapai in it's real or it's Picwickian sense: whether he meant to cast a reflection on the joshing." The ascertainment was left to a conference committee to be appointed ostensibly for the purpose of reaching an agreement on the house amendment to the bill but as has been stated. it will probably have to confer with itself
 | A new bill was introduced by MT. Francis more strictly defining the offense of adultery and increasing
 the penalty therefor The bill goes to

The othe school wanted a more liberal law ant the attitude of the game warden il favor of three year closed seasol for deer and turkey was especiall criticised. Some wanted the bushes taken entirely out of the hands O the warden and lodged in the hand of the county authorities. Even tn proposition to put the game question under the control of the live stoc commission was urged.
 MT. Mahoney moved the indefinit postponement of the bill before it reading was finished but that wa lost.
