WAR LEGISLATION
 GETS START WHILE
 I. ". ". DENOUNCED
Deportation Section of Gov elnor's Message Is not
 Alluded to So Far, at
 Least ill No Direct Way

A beginning at least. was made of the legislation recommended in the governors call for an extraordinary session. One bill extending the fran chise Co the citizens of Arizona serv- ing outside the state was introduced two measures for the protection of the legal rights of Arizona soldiers were brought in, one in each house. There were also three resolutions, one in the house, and two in the senate, for the ratification of the ma tional prohibition amendment, one bill for the relief of the dairy industry and creating the office of dairy commis- sioner, was introduced in the senate, but was later withdrawn to be re- modelled.
 The message of the governor, or that part referring to the objects for which the special session was called was separated and the parts referred to the appropriation committees. There was no open expression in either house regarding that part of , the message bearing on the Bisbce and Jerome deportation cases. though l a resolution introduced by Mrs. ! O'Neill of Maricopa county putting 1 the legislature on record against the
 
 officials to do all within their power to rid the state of the l. w. w., was construed by many to bear on that subject.
 A Bored Tone of Voice
 It was observed that While Mrs O'Neill in her remarks in support of the resolution in which she vigorously denounced the l. W. W. was liberally applauded by a majority of the mem- bers, some members restraining their enthusiasm. It was also noted that while the resolution was given a unanimous vote, certain of the mem- bers on roll call voted in d bored tone of voice.
 There is no inference in recording these observations that the members who appeared reluctant were in sym pathy with the l. w. w. but rather that they interpreted the resolution to have been provoked by the remark, of the governor the day before.
 Mrs. O'Neills Resolution
 The resolution follows:
 Whereas, our country is now en- gagged in the most stupendous wal that has ever been waged, and
 Whereas, our state has sent thou sands of her brave sons to give LII their lives if need be, that the world may be made safe for democracy, ant
 Whereas. there has sprung int, existence an organization known a. the l. W. w., that threatens to de stroy that very democracy in ou own glorious land and to tear dowI patriotism and service and thus brins contempt to the name of our fai state throughout the entire country now
 Be it resolved. that. this legisla turc here assembled views with con cern the activities of the l. w. w. and believes it to be a lawless or ganization composed of men who ar menace to the safety and homo of the state and whose presence an propaganda within the state is a re } flection upon our brave soldier boy and q hindrance to the united stan [ that we, the people of this state, ar !. taking as a second army behind ou } boys now
 "Therefore. be it further resolved ? that this legislature in special Wa session assembled, calls upon ever ]. official from the highest to the low 2 est. to place Arizona in the lead i this nation in patriotism by de nouncing the 1. ". W.s and all it works. and to pledge himself to d everything within his power to ri the state of an organization which a menace 10 our government and stain upon the fair name of ou state and our nation. and an insu 10 the beloved flag of our great an glorious country
