The tapping of the incoming tide
of legislation rose a little higher OIL
the senate shores yesterday, above
the high-water mark Of the day be-
fore registered by Senate Bill No. l.
At the adjournment in the afternoon
seven bills had been introduced The
house had not yet descended to the
actual business of the session. But
one bill making appropriation for the
expenses of the session was intro
duced and passed under a suspension
of the rules as en- emergency meas
ure. In the afternoon it was trans
ferred to the senate and passed in
the same fashion. 1t appropriates the
sum of $4,000, or so much of that
sum as may be needed, and that
amount is divided as follows: Sala-
ries of members. s22.S6O; salaries of
employees, s1S,320 mileage of mem
bers. s2300; contingent, s11,700.
One of the senate bills, introduced
late in the afternoon. thundered in
the index; it had a startling title:
For the relief of certain wholesale
and retail liquor dealers, etc" What
it meant was not clear. but it turned
out to be harmless. 1t provided only
that the pro rata of the cost of
licenses they had paid should be re-
turned to them covering the period
the licenses had to run after the pro-
hibition amendment went into effect.
The existing laws had made no pro-
vision for such a contingency as
arose on November 3.
Other bills introduced in the sem
ate were:
BY Mr. Karns of Santa Cruz
amending the statutes so as to in
clude fees other than those already
included in the bill of costs of liti
cation.
BY Mr.. Campbell of Coconino, a bill
requiring railroad companies to fur
nish prompt and adequate notifica
tion of stock killed by railroad trains.
Senate Bill Nr. 4. amending the
statutes with reference to fees and
salaries.
Senate Bill No. 5, requiring public
offices to be kept open from 9 am.
to o'clock pm, except an hour at
noon and except on holidays Sundays
and Saturday afternoons.
Mr. Campbell introduced senate
memorial No. 1. requesting congress
to appropriate 100000 for the de-
struction of carnivOrous animals The
memorial states that the annual loss
of live stock in this state amounts to
Of ha
general government for this loss lies
in the fact that The predatory animals
have their lairs and breeding places
within the 225.000,000 acres which the
government has reserved to itself.
If one harbors thief or murderer he
is to that extent responsible for his
deeds, and is an accessory after the
fact.
This memorial and the bill of Mr.
Campbell with reference to the noti-
fication by railroad companies of
stock killed by their trains have the
backing of the Arizona Live Stock
association.
An impressionable Young man in
the gallery of the senate thought he
saw sunbeam playing about the
desk of President Sims but it turned
out to be Miss Bertha Thom, the new
girl page, who arrived yesterday and
took the place of substitute Tommy
Murphy, who had acquitted himself
so well that some sort of a job ought
to be provided for him.
Speaking of sunbeams, in the mid
afternoon a shaft of sunlight shot
through one of the circular windows
and put the Junior senator from yav-
apai in the spotlight as one of the
clerks observed. But he failed to
observe. or failed to mention that
there is a sort of aureole about the
head of Mrs. Munds whether the sun
is shining or not.
There was further evidence in both
the house and the senate of an in
