Motion Almost Fails

As soon as the resolution was read. AIr. Edwards of Yuma moved to lay it on the table, and that was accom- plished by the very narrow marpin of b to II. Two of the members present did not vote and two were absent whose votes would probably have bal ahced. It was observed that some of the members who are not particularly strong for the governor voted for the motion.
 The subject with which the resolu- ton was intended to deal came up again in the committee of the whole when the consideration of the bill to recompense former Governor Campbell for his services was resumed. There was not, in fact, extended considera- tion. MT. Lines of the appropriation committee moved the adoption of the committee amendment reducing the amount of the appropriation for Mir. Campbell to s3,617.03, the amount of his salary, and eliminating an appro- priation of s4.122.35, the amount of the costs he had been ordered 10 pay to Governor Hunt.
 Precedent Already Fixed
 Mr. Green of the committee urged the defeat of the amendment and said that there was abundant precedent for such an appropriation as had been proposed. A speech in favor of the bill was made by MT. Cureton. The pay ment of the costs was opposed by Mir Walton on the ground that they had already been paid by the people once and should not be paid again. In this connection he said: We" had paid it..
 Mir. Goodwin wanted to know what was meant by we" He added that the public had not paid it. If it had been paid, it had been paid by the re publicans. That, he said is none of our business. That was a transaction with which the taxpayers had nothing to do. It was now asked for the first time that the money be appropriated for that purpose, and MT. Goodwin be- lieved the appropriation should be voted.
 Mrs. Mckay's Opinion Mrs. Rosa Mkay stated as her own personal opinion that Mir Campbell, who had so far received nothing, had been am ly paid for his services. The amendment was carried, but the fight over the bill was not ended. Mir. Walton said it had been brought to the attention of the house that Mr. Campbell did not want an appropria- ton for his salary. But the commit tee of the whole recommended the passage of the bill, and later in the open session it's opponents made one last despairing stand against a motion to send it to the enrolling and engross- ! ing committee. The motion was car ried by vote of g to 8.
 Federal Reserve Act
 At the beginning of the house ses- sion Mir. Hughes of Cochise introduced a bill authorizing state banks ana [ trust companies to avail themselves oi the federal reserve act
 House joint resolution No. was passed. a sugar coated or camouflaget measure, which apparently. expressed the opinion of the legislature tha- Woodrow Wilson was the foremos man of his time. with which opinior no one would openly disa gree. But tn, purpose of the resolution was con. cealett in the concluding irrelevan paragraph deelaring it to be the sens, of the house that all violence in Ari zona should be suppressed and tha every citizen should be protected i, his rights. The resolution would no have been made any plainer if it hat drowned upon the deportation of citi Zens from the town f Bisbee. Blu the majority decided that it was no worth while to quarrel with the tail 0 the resolution when it's head was $, pleasing, or, at least, so harmless. was passed without a dissenting vote MT. Buehman, explaining his vote, sai' that there were now or should be n republicans or democrats in the legis lature, only good Americans.
 A similar resolution was introduce in the senate, but no further actiol was taken on it. As all the bushes before the house had been dispose' of. an adoujrnment was taken befor noon to 10 o'clock this morning.
