direction of the state engineer.
A message was received from the
senate informing the house that the
senate had passed Senate Memorial No.
/, relating to the throwing open of
the Parker Indian reservation for entry.
Ihat memorial was later passed and
returned TO the senate
A letter was received from Hon.
Thomas +. Parish. state historian, call
ing attention to the guhernatorial man
sion at Prescott, a log building with
clapboard roof, whence Goodwin and
Mccormick issued edicts; where King
Woolsey was commissioned for his
campaign against the Apaches and
where the Arizona volunteers were or
gained. The historian recommends
the purchase of the building and
grounds by the state and the preserva-
ton of the former as a monument. The
letter was referred to the proper com
mittee. The house was in session half
an hour
The Senate
The senate put the finishing touches
on one bit of legislation yesterday and
even then no need was felt for the
services of full-fledged de facto gov
ernor. The teachers pension bill intro
duced by Mr.. Rutherford, was defeated
on the recommendation of a commit
tee. The bill proposed to fix the period
of services within which an Arizona
teacher can qualify for a pension at
twenty years instead of twenty five
years under the present law. Mr. Ruth
erford said, after it was all over, that
being a good Democrat he would yield
to the will of the majority but he felt
that he ought to protest against the
summary manner in which the bill had
been done to death. RE hoped that in
the future the senate would at least
allow bill to go to print before cleo
trGcuting it.
IF you survive here for sixty days, ="
said Senator Campbell, you'll get over
that. You'll see many bills that you
will be ashamed to see in print and l
think this is one of them"
Three more new bills We're brought
into the senate. One of them by Sena-
tor Roberts in an gambling meas
ure. 1t is of sweeping character and
suppresses gambling in all its forms
and prohibits town and city councils
from licensing any sort of a game.
Mr.. Hall of Marieopa introduced a
bill prohibiting false and misleading
advertising. The first paragraph con-
tains what is known as the Printer S
Ink" bill which was brought into the
last legislature and failed of passage.
There are two other sections directed
against the advertisement and sale of
worthless mining stocks or stocks of a
doubtful character.
President Claridge introduced a bill
regulating the lighting of motor We
hicles
The anti-lobbying bill, which has
made its appearance in various legisla-
tive sessions, was introduced by Mr..
Claypool of ella in an aggravated
form; more stringent than any of its
predecessors. 1t prohibits the agent of
any firm, association, organization,
company or corporation from accost-
ing a member of the legislature for the
purpose Of securing the enactment or
the defeac of any measure without OBJ
tanning the permission of the presiding
officers Of the two houses and securing
further permission by a majority vote
of each house. Even then he is re-
stricted from the use of money for the
carrying out of his purposes The bill
almost makes it a penalty for wanting
in the innermost thoughts of a person
to defeat or secure the passage of the
bill.
But there is one section that has
been omitted, the inclusion of which
would have made the measure still
more effective. 1t should have been pro-
