The first special session of the Third Arizona legislature is now a part of the political history of the state. It came 10 an end yesterday afternoon. after having completed, after a fashion, the program outlined for it in the call of tho governor which convOked it on May 2t Probably no member of either house believes that the work was done as well as it might have been done.
