UP-L|FTERS ARE ATTACKED BY
 MRS.M' KAY
LETTER FROM SUNDAY SCHO OL ASSOCIATION AROUSES THE IRE OF COCHISE SOLONESS.

high-light in the house is the fealty of Mrs. Representative Mckay to her female minimum-wage bill The measure was not welcomed exactly with enthusiasm by the legislators however much they protested on the floor their devotion to women in gen. eral and their desire to make smooth the paths that are trodden by the female wage-earncr. So there has been much objection and amendment of the bill, which would have given all female workers not less than SIP a week, without regard to age, com potency, or character of employment. Under the cross-irc of objection, the lady from Cochisc county has lost her atmosphere of calmness on a couple of occasions of late. This loss par ticularly was noticeable after the house had received from the Arizona Sunday School Association letter of commendation for its actions upon several morality" bills Then ii was that Mrs. Mckay sent to the chair a communication Of protest over sup positions smugncss on the part Of both the house members and the let ter writers. Mrs. McKay's address to the chair was passed over hurriedly by the speaker, with some evidences of agitation on the house floor when reading was concluded, and was not placed upon the official files. As show ing the tenor Of the epistle, 1t may be enough to quote the final paragraph:
 "If the Sunday School Association were sincere in desiring to serve the welfare of children and the coming generation, if their letter, which so naively mentions their 40,000 constit- ucnts, were other than threat to use their supposed political power ard numerous votes to cause the political death Of any of us who fails 10 vote in favor of these four measures-if, l re- peat, 1t were other than the mcrcst buffoonry on their part a seeking of a cheap and sensational notoricty, this so-callcd association of Sunday schools would have endorsed and ap- proved the minimum wage for women for the sake of the children whom a great majority of our working girls will be called upon to bear and who must inevitably display in their de ficicncics the inheritance conferred upon them by physically or morally unprepared mothers"
 Tempest In Senate.
 In the senate, teapot tempest fol- lowed simple suggestion of Suttcr that he saw no use in cumbcring the record with full particulars of discus sions in committee of the whole. This minute record is the creation of the present committee on rules, some thing that is understood was never before known in Arizona legislatures There came instant defense of the rules from the so-callcd Hunt mem bcrs. Claypool demanded that the rule stand, for in committee Of the whole "morc bills were butchcrcd and more members went back on their campaign promises than in the open sessions" Suttcr moved reference Of the suggestion to the rules commit tee. Even this had opposition, but passed by vote of 10 to /, with a couple of senators absent The rules committee is expected to rcaffirm the rule, and it is doubtful if a two-thirds vote can be mustered by its op- poncnts
 Mallory's Later Bill.
 ,Mr. Mallory, of Pima county has 8 measure that rather gives preference to the University of Arizona. in pro | viding that graduates of the law school Of that institution shall be ad- | mittcd to practice with only prescn- tation of their diplomas as prima facic evidence of their ability and charac- ter. It would make the college the only one thus favored.
 Draws Double Salary
 While under investigation before the house committee of the whole, i there was developed the fact that State Entomologist MorrclI draws two salaries, one of them from the United States. But later ii appeared that the Federal compensation is only in the sum of Sl year, merely to list him as an associate Of a bureau of the agricultural department This came out in the course of discussion over the improbability of getting conI- pctcnt stcnograhpers for less than Sl, ,0O0 a year.
