 COURT FOR DECISION
Upholds Arizona's Late Freak Alien Labor Law. Fails To Mention Mine Taxation Which Was Taken To Him.

PHOENIN, Jan. 1.-The reeading of the governors message occupied the attention of the solons on the opening day. the usual excitement Of organization having been lessened ! by the party caucus decision of Sat urday. To accordance with that de- cision Sims was regularly made president of the senate and Brooks speaker of the house following which formality Chief Justice Ross admin istered the oath of office to all mem bers.
 In the senate resolutions of ,re- spect, read and adopted, concerned two former members Of that body who have died since the last session. Cuncif, Of Ysvapai. and Vessel. of Yuma
 ] After the usual committees notify ing the governor and the opposite houses the organization had been l perfected, a joint session was con yened at which Governor Hunt read his message
 ! Strangely although the governor had planned by reading his message . personally to give proper emphasis to the various parts thereof, and in his deliyerance he made such an ef- fort there was no applause other than the usual applause at his con clusion. Numerous events of the last few days and suggestions from arriving legislators caused the gov ernor to materially change certain phases of the text of his message with the result that no advance cop ies were available.
 He vigorously defended the initia- tive and referendum and its advan. tageous use by the working classes of the state He recommended a public defender for each county, a minimum wage for women, increased acreage for prison and asylum forms voters to declare their politics at the time or registration, candidates to be elected when receiving a majority of the votes cast at the primary. would create a board of public wei fare and purchasing agent for gov ernment and state institutions and does not discuss capital punishment or mine taxation.
 He finds fault with the notification of the Eighty Percent law on grounds .of unconstitutionality by the federal court and declares:
 Even though a United States tri. bunal has thus suddenly become the arbiter of our states industrial des- tinies and set aside for the time be ing at least, the provisions of the statute of which a serious condition affecting American labor was the parent, the good which has resulted from the whole occurrence may be briefly summarized as an advisory expression of the peoples attitude toward the wholesale importation of aliens, to the virtual exclusion of the American citizen from the right to earn his daily breead in the state in which he has taken up his residence 
 and is rearing his children. It is logical to conclude that such employ CTS as continue to fly in the face Of public sentiment as expressed in the adoption of the Eighty Percent law even though their punishment has been stopped for the time by a fed eral court, will reap the highest cal umny and general condemnation which they have merited SO com pletely"
