PHOENIX, Jan. 27.-An effort to distort the program of the supporters Of the proposed new mine tax bill failed in the senate today when. dur ing the committee on the whole meet ing Webb offered motion to re. commit the bin to the finance com miuee with instructions that the same be redrafted and made applica- ble in principle to an classes of prop erty
 His motion was rejected by vote of seven ayes Claridge. Golfer. Gold water, Karns. Munds. Stapeley and Webb, to twelve nays-Bacon, Camp tell. Chase Crabb, Drachman. Garvin Kinney. Lovin. Martin, MacMillan. Riggs and President Sims. It is the first test vote in the senate and were it not known that Golfer and Gold water would favor the bin with slight amendment, it would seem the meas. , ure would fail Of the necessary two. thirds vote t3 carry it with the emer- gency clause.
 One amendment which may be nec. essary Co secure the passage of the bin will be a proviso for assessment of properties which are producing a net income but are in likeness over three months Of the year. Another amendment relates to the technical section concerning appeals where the valuation fixed is opposed by proper ty owners. The entire matter went over for the day on motion Of Sims and indications tonight are that it will be approved by the senate with slight amendments at an early date.
 During today's debate discussion developed trat the question had caus- ed ill feeling among senators. Drach- man critized the report of the state tax commission and cited numerous pages of the report which tended to show prejudice of members Of the commission against mining indus tries Claridse, who opposed the bill. characterized Drachman's remarks as "hog wash which caused the us- ually silent Lovin of Mohaye, to rise in his seat and declare that he want ed more "hog wash" and added his approval to the PIia senator's re- marks.
 The executive committee of the Cattle Growers Association last night adopted a resolution opposing the principle of the mine tax bill which was read into senate records this morning. but apparently without much effect on the situation.
 In the house the detective bin which laborites are demanding came near failing of its own weight Proctor. a natural supporter declared that the measure as drawn lepalized the maintaining Of such agencies by cor porations. exactly what it was de- sired should be prohibited To save it from being killed the bill was sent Co the judiciary committee for fur ther amendment
 A substitute bin was proposed for the senate measure aboiishing the taking of the school census without disturbing the existing office of the tmant officer. but an error discov- cred on its reading caused it 10 be recCmmitted
 lt was finally agreed that the coun- ty seat removal bin be ordered pre- pared for final passage by the house in practically the same form as it was introduced except that 1t now carries an emergency clause declar. ing that such exists by reason of re- mote location of various county seats in the state and unsafe and unsani- tary condition Of numerous county court houses.
 A concurrent resolution inviting President Wilson to visit Arizona on his way west proposed today. will pass the house tomorrow as will a resolution urging officials in Wash ington 10 turn in and pass the pend ing bin making an appropriation for a concrete bridge and dam over the Gila river at Sacaton
