 1 PHOENIA, ArIZ., June 2l.-ln the
 house of the third legislature there
 was firm belief that the senate was
 an enemy that lay in wait for house
 bills that it might tear limb from limb There was continued bitter comment ieven joined in by the speaker, and
 the closing hours showed a spirit far
 from amicable That this spirit was
 based on slight grounds is indicated
 by the record. Of the fifty-One bills considered, the senate killed nine of it's own and only three from the house, while the house killed fourteen of its own children and five from the sen ate. Seven senate bills went to com plete action and eight house bills. Con sideration of one senate bill and three house bills was cut out by passage of similar measures. Only one measure of the governors call list went with out any action beyond introduction. It was Johns house bill permitting in vestment of state funds in government securities, said to have been held up at the suggestion of bankers who found illegal features in it. On the whole, remarkably large proportion of the bills had conclusive laotion.
 Nearly all the forty-two resolutions and memorials, only a few failed of passage. These included senate con current resolution by Campbell, de- Inouncing the I. w. w., withdrawn; a house concurrent resolution by Good win, making the state librarian custO- dian of legislative property, left with out action by the senate; a senate resolution by Roberts, directed against the L W. w. and deporters, left in the senate labor committee; a senate JC-.-. resolution by Roberts favoring return of capital punishment and the gover- Eor's pardon power and another by Claridge favoring the prohibition amendment, both killed by the senate; house resolution by Coffee an~ . s Grath. calling on Governor Hunt to re- turn the Campbell salary. tabled hy one vote, and house joint resolution by Flake, calling for resubmission Of capital punishment, killed by the house The legislature favored return of capital punishment. but simply got out of the way of a measure to that effect to be submitted by popular peti- tion.
 Only two of the eleven items of the governors call were left without legis- lative action, namely, permission to invest state funds in national secu- rities and the payment of compensa- tiOn to Thos. E. Campbell for the time spent by him in the governors office. At least three of the bills passed seem to be outside the call. The Marsh act. confiscating vehicles used in bootleg ging, at first had an excuse, as it was considered a protection to soldiers, with a limitation of 200 miles from any military camp. This distance, extend ed to 400 miles, finally was made to include the whole state, without refer .elce to camps. But the governor sign ed this bill and also one making pay ment of substantial sums to the wIu- ows of Graham county officers killed iii the discharge of their duty. As the men who killed them were draft .evaders. among several counts, the af- fair was considered a war activity and thus possibly one that could be within the call Only under the head of wartime food conservation can there be consideration of the Greene bill, now with the governor, demanding supervision of grain and cotton by products and directed especially to the regulation of cottonseed mills.
 Governor Hunt is said to have help ed in the saving of the dairy products bill which had been indefinitely post poned in the house and which later was passed by the narrOwest possible margin. It is understood that back CTS of the bill now are suggesting ap- pointment as dairy commissioner or w. A. Barr, former county agricul- tural agent and an expert in the dairy line. The job will pay S30O0 year
 Governor Hunt has been prompt in affixing his signature to five more leg islatiye acts. They are:
 Senate Bill 2. Hall-Regulating handling of dairy products.
 Senate Bill Il. Claridge-Defining soldiers civil rights.
 Senate Bill 19. Education commit tee-Establishing alien night schools.
 Senate Bill 20. Labor committee Enforcing the draft laws with regard to testimony
 Substitute for House Bill 3. Vaughn Extending suffrage to persons in the military and naval service, including organizations officially recognized by military authorities.
 In the hands of the governor. yet unsigned, are only three bills. They are: Senate 8, by Claridge, forbidding sabotage and regulating corporations; House ?, by Eddy, forbidding idleness and demanding that manufacturing plants shall run to top capacity; House 32, by Greene, concerning by products of grain and cotton.
 To the summing up of the legislative work are to be added senate resolu- | tions, one by Campbell. denouncing | the l. w. w.. passed, and a similar one by Roberts. left in the committee on labor. A third senate resolution offer l ed sympathy to Senator Getchell, con- l fined in a Chicago hospital for the l time of the special session. His pay | and that of Senator Hall will be sent 1
