"PET MEASURES" NUMEROUS
lsnecial io The Reviewl


 PHOENIX. May 20.-For a special session. limited to consideration of matters contained in the call issued by the government, the war session of the Arizona state legislature bids fair to have for consideration bills in number sufficient to keep it sitting for the full length of time contemplated for a regular session under the law.
 Immediately upon organization it is expected that each member of both branches will drop his quota of meas ures into the legislative hopper and the season for pet measures" and "favorite follies" will be open. While the number of bills introduced will not be equal to the number usually produced by the opening of a reg ular session. yet it is quite certain the number will be sufficient to keep the solons busy for a period longer than the few days contemplated by the governor when he issued his call.
 Prepares Bills
 State Librarian Con Cronin, in charge of the state law and legislative reference bureau. has been for some time engaged in preparing measures to be introduced at this session. Among the bills prepared by Cronin is one providing for absentee voting. Quite a number of bills on this subject are known to have been prepared already and just whose name this measure

The disease was thus stamped out as

The plague returns at intervals from
