URGES START IF PUBLIC WORKS ID FURNISH JOBS
House Resolution Asks Men
 Out Of Work Stay Home And Not Waste Money In
 Travelling About Country

Az distinguished from the character ! or the proceedings of the day before | the doinEs of yesterday in the legisla- l turo were dull but none the less ef- fcctive in clearing the ground of an agumulation of bills in both houses. \ resolution was introduced into the house by Mr. Vync. identical with one brought into the senate the day before hV Senator Claypool. It describes the critical state of the copper producing industry and the probability that some uf the mines will of necessity close down. SO that large numbers of men wtl be thrown out of employment
 The resolution calls upon boards of supervisors to initiate public works as soon as possible to relieve. in part at least the condition of unemploy meut It also urges men out of work to stay at home, among friends if pos sible. rather than to waste the little they have saved in travelling about the country. It asks for a suspension of the vagrancv acts except in extreme cases and urges the cooperation of citizens in the business of proceeding moderately under the laws.
 The resolution. which is a joint reso- lution, was gaing through under sus- pension of the rules when Mir. Lines
 
 readily agreed to. It was advice to men now holding jobs to stick to them and not take part in strikes For the purpose Of putting the amendment into form. the measure was referred to the committee on resolutions.
 Pass Anti Red Flag Bill
 The Parr anti-red flag bill was passed on third reading with a single vote against it. that of MT. Little. who feared that it would prohibit the dis play of railroad danger signals, one of them indicating a closely following train. It appears to have occurred to no one that auctioneers also use the rcd flag
 Mrs. Mckay. who had steadily op- posed this and kindred legislation. an- nolmced that she was going to vote for it, but in her opinion it was the most absurd. foolish legislation that had come within her experience. A little later in the day it was learned that the senate of the United States was at that very momen engaging in that precise form of absurdity and folly.
 Several other bills were passed on third reading. Among them was the senate measure authorizing the loan- ing of state funds on lands under fed eral reclamation projects and not en- Ctimhered otherwise than by their ob- legations to the government
 Blame the Kaiser
 Inc senate bill appropriating s6, 900 for the conduct of the office of the state superintendent of public health to the end of tho fiscal year was passed; also the senate bill providing for the distribution of estates consist ing wholly of personal property not ex- cecding in value $500; two bills for the relief of concerns holding claims against the state.
 The bin requiring that when an em- ployc quits service or Is discharged he shnll be paid at once was also passed, and the house bill appropriating ss.2s3 to cover a deficit in the office of the secretary of state. This occurs in tlle fund set apart for the payment for mo- tor vehicle license plates. And herein a revealed another count against the kNser.
 !. was supposed when the appropria- ton was made that there would be plenty. But 1t was not taken into &C., count that the plates in consequence of the war would cost three cents more t'Mn formerly, that is, six cents for each motor. There were also 10000 more motor licenses needed and that called for 10000 more plates.
 Bury Bill, Not Soldiers
 In the morning the house heard that the senate had indefinitely postponed the bill providing for the burial of indigent soldiers. sailors and marines along with their families. After the house had passed this bill, having amended it by making provision for the burial of the mothers of soldiers al. uFf fa,@ further amending 1t so as 10 provide Tor the internment of the fathers of such soldiers and sailors. That was farther than the house cared 10 go. It iefused to concur in the amendment, and the senate sent for the bill for which it had never been particularly strong and it was then given out that instead of burying the soldiers and the sailors and their relatives, con- sangiineous and collateral. the senate would bury the bill.
 Favorable reports were made by the committee on two measures which have been most favorably received. Hon. James C. Goodwin Is the author of both of them. one provides that a city or incorporated town shall be authorized to make expenditures for the care of parks under reclamation projects. outside the limits of such towns. This bill was designed to per- init Phoenix and Tempe to take part in the improvement of Papago or Cactus park. The other bill will per- nit the construction of state highways through incorporated cities and towns. This latter bill was favored in a reso- lution by the commission presented 10 the house yesterday. Mir. Goodwin vas granted the privilege of the floor Hnaas measure when they came up in the committee of the whole.
 Talks on Water Exploration
 The rest of the day was spent by the house in the committee of the whole which probably deferred the consideration of <ouse Bill 23 for the last time. That is the highway com mission bill which has been held up 10 await the arrival of Senate Bill 17, and it Is expected that that having passed the senate, will be brought up today.
 The committee favorablr recom- mendcd the bill making an appropria- ton of fj.000 for each of the next two years for the Northern Arizona fair.
 In the afternoon the committee had under consideration the educational code which was interrupted to allow C. r. F. Smith, irrigation engineer of ihe university, Co speak on the bill proposing water explorations in the san Simon and Sulphur Springs val leys. This bin was later favorably re- ported. The educational code was taken up. and there was considered along with it the bill Of Mrs. O'Nein providing for health and mental in- specton In the schools. That was made a part Of the code bill.
