State Fair Appropriations Bill Almost Lost-Con- sidered Piecemeal Legis- latiOn Crutch fiel q $ DemO-Paradise

Several matters of more than usual or average importance developed in the legislature yesterday. In the house a bill was introduced by MT. Proctor to abolish the board of control and estab- fish a board of public welfare. The temper of the senate in favor of re- trenchment was manifested again in the committee of. the whole in the con sideration of bill to appropriate s19. 900 to cover the deficit of the state fair commission and 5000 to continue the work to the beginning of the next fis cal year. There was an important meeting in joint session of the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate in search Of information on the subject of mine taxation. But that is another and a separate story It was also brought out in the house that there is a demo- cratic heaven to which Chaplain Crutchfield later informed a reporter for The Republican, particularly blame less members of the other parties might be admitted

The chaplain was asked by the friends of the defunct to do the best he could do for him in the circum stances. The parson said that the best he could do was to say that he had been a brave soldier and consistent democrat. That he assured the friends of the dead, ought to count for some thing in the next world.
 Representative Christy engineered through the house the Karns senate joint resolution congratulating the president on the birth of his first grandson. MT. Cook of Cochise sec onded the adoption of the resolution saying that being a grandfather, the president had his earnest sympathy. A house joint memorial was introduced by Mrs. Berry, representative from Apache county urging upon congress the preservation of a Spanish mission in Santa Cruz county.
 The most interesting, if not the most important bill introduced in either house, was that of Representative Proctor Of Navajo county to abolish the board of control and to create in it's stead a board of public welfare with powers of inspection and supervision of public bodies to carry on investi- gations: to provide for the revision and the accounting business of the state; to provide for the adoption of business methods as a means of promoting greater efficiency and economy in the administration of the affairs of the state; and to delegate to the board such other powers as are necessary to put such methods into full force and effect and making appropriation there for
