 PHOENIX, June 1.--The second ex- tra session of the legislature convened this morning without flowers and without oratory. There were few wis., itors. for Phoenix has tired of the law makers Farrell and Mahoncy. in the House and Golfer and Campbell. in the Senate, were named to notify the governor that the solOns had respond ed Go his call and were ready Go rc- ceive any communication he might care tU submit. There were other committees to arrange seating scheme and to notify tho opposite house Of organization which by the way. remains unchanged from tne late session, when Governor Hunt sent iu his message.
 It was read immediately upon it's re- ceipt in both branches. The dotument was brief and the lawmakers were urged to be brief in their delibcra- tions First of all a land code was urged with special attention to the land of school lessees. Those who suffered in the recent Little Colorado River floods, it was urged be given considerations with some legislative relief they being without stored water and facing a harvestless crop.
 He calls attention that the prohibit tion amendment was a constitutional mandate and that statutory provisions had to be made for the effective opor- ation of the law. He made it clear that he realized that intoxicating bev- erages was what the people demanded by their votes, should be excluded from the state, while grain alcohol for certain purposes, under his caIL might be exempt In referring to the creation of a Ia. bor commission. he claimed that its creation along proper lines, would be a safeguard to both employer and em. ployee. In calling attention to the semi-annual payment of taxes amend ment, he refers to his call and notes that he makes a specific suggestion as to what is necessary His reason 1 for including a provision which would make possible the abohshment of cap. ] ital punishment, he declares. was at the suggestion Of the House, which during the closing days of the late l session, adopted a resolution asking that such be done Of the other sub iects in his call he did not treat other than to reiterate that they were oI such character as to require little time in their completion
 No sooner had the reading of the message been concluded, than Chris ty, in the House, offered a resolution that the session only consider Che semi-annual tax payment and lanJ code measures and adjourn. It ha. 1 generally been believed that under the tax provision a mine tax bill might
 be introduced and the resolution i, looked upon by many as a proposa
 to pass a mine tax and land code bin
 Evidently, with this in mind and {,

 opposition to having the resolution
 referred. without definite action. an,
 thereafter the House adjourned fol
