WEEKS RESUME OF TIE
 DO|NGS AT THE CAPITAL

administration for its apathy and neglect of duty heard during the reg ula- or extra session of the legislature was delivered this morning by Sen ator Stapley of Maricopa county. He called attention to the conditions which compelled the senate to sit not only with folded arms, but with hands tied, unable to make move for the betterment of conditions which are in imperative need of legislation. In part he said:
 This is no time to mince matters. There are certain members of the house who have named themselves the administration bunch We know how they blocked legislation in the regular session, and now the same tactics, the same lobbying that were then so apparent are being renewed.
 "We know that many worthy meas ures which received the approval of both houses were vetoed. Apparent ly nothing that did not carry an ap- propriation could become law.
 Now we have been called together again to pass only a general appro- priation bill. But the people demand more. It is time for us to make our voices heard, to demand an opportun- ity to give the people what they want. There is no use in keeping silent any longer.
 q represent the people; not what is called the administration 1 am trying to work for the good of the whole state. But after we get through with the appropriation bill, the ad- bunch in the house will probably turn it down and try to place the blame on the senate.
 "It is time for the executive of this state to step in as mediator. Let him call of the administration bunch, if there he such thing, and allow us to pass an appropriation bill which will be for the benefit of the people, of the taxpayers.
 q hear 1t said that the administra- ton bunch in the house represents labor, and that the senate represents capital. 1 resent this, and also the accusation of trying to enact class l want to build up the state al the expense of neithe- labor nor capital. What can capital do without labor, and what can labor do without capital?"
