If Mine Tax and Land Legis- lation Could be Disposed of Other Matters Would Per init Adjournment

PHOENIX. Feb 15.-Wuh fifteen days in which the present legislature must conclude their consideration of a multitude of bills. gossip concerning an extra session is heard on all sides. If it were possible for the house and senate to agree concerning two bills mine tax and a bin defining the land policy mo extra session would be re- quired and all pending legislation could easily be disposed of and the appropriations adjusted In view Of todays developments which are en- couraging towards an agreement on the mine tax bill it is extremely dini- cult Co forecast whether the extra session will be necessary One thing positive Is known and that is that the end of the present week will have seen matters in such condition that forecast can be made The cattlemen have been partially won over for special mine tax bin and they have been very Influential in the effort to secure supporters for the bill from the
 Maricopa county delegation It is possible that the pending Mahoney bill may.not be agreed to, but the plan of having special statute for the . .assessment Of producing mines may be agreed to. the exact form of the statute even being provided for in bill which may during the present week, come from a Maricopa county member.
 If such a situation can be brought about those measures urged by the labor members which win not too se- riously cripple prosperity or the ef- ! forts generally being made through out the state to bring prosperous time will be passed generous appropria- ! tions provided for the educational and agricultural institutions, the mine tax till finally adopted and the session concluded
