cn appropriations. "The rest of us are debarred from taking part in the work Chairman Powers of the committee replied that the gentleman from Greenlee was in error All the members of the house had been in vited to attend the meetings of the committee
 To this time the memorial had not
 been read and after it's reading Mr Graham moved that il be re-referred
 that the representatives of the coun-
 ties affected might have an oppor-
 tunIty to endorse il. MT. Goodwin
 believed that the relief sought in the
 memorial Was unnecessary. All that
 was desired to be done could now
 he done but a general land code was
 needed. MT. Grahams motion to re-
 commit was defeated and Mr F1an9-
 gan, who had voted against it. ex-
 plaineG his vote. The memorial. he
 said, in the statement that the land commission had neglected and re-
 fused to select the land for the four
 counties was in error As a matter of fact, the commission beginning two years ago had recommended the selection of IO.0O0 acres of this land and the recommendation had been acted upon. Of this patent had been secured for about 10000 acres. The commission, he said, had selected more land for this very purpose than for any other
 Replying to MT. Chrstys animad- versions against the governor, Mr Lines said that he would agree that the land commission was blameless but tEe governor was equally blame less. MT.

All but three sections were in the hands of the typists being prepared for the printer. He said that the heads of some of olt institutions invited before the committee in the afternoon to make known tbeir needs regarding new buildings.

He presented paper he had prepared in answer to the remarks of Senator Stapley in the senate recently in which the senator had characterized one element of the legislature as the administration bunch and charged the bunch with preventing con structive legislation
 MT. Lines said that the whole trou- ble grew out of the mine tax bill which had the backing of what might be called the corporation bunch.' Of which the senator had become a con spicuous member. So far MT Lines was not on dangerous ground but when he brought the history of rhe mine tax bill into the house and de- clared that the votes of the so-called administration bunch had been influ- enced by tine opposition to the mine tax bill an uproar began to be ere ated. Members rose in platoons to matters of personal privilege and Speaker Brooks referred to the rules which forbid an allusion to the mot ives of member in voting for or a against a measure
