Callaghan is in doubt has been assigned to Jess l.. Boyce. secretary of the atx commits sion, and Boyce has applied to the su- perior court of Maricopa county for a writ of mandamus compelling Cal laghan to pay them all An early de- cision is expected. If any section of the bill is declared void by the court it means that the entire bill is void.
 If this occurs, it means another spe- .cial session of the second state legis- lature.
 If the superior court should decide the section legal, payment of the salary of expense claims may even be held up longer This will happen of the auditor is not satisled with the decision of the lower court and de. sires to appeal to the supreme court. Members of the supreme court are on their vacation and will hot again be in session until the middle of Sep tember
