turned to notify the governor, he ad-
vised them that he could not make
up his mind until later. When the
hour agreed upon for the announce
ment of his decision arrived the Gov
ernor stated that he still could not
make up his mind, and he has not
made it up yet, so far as any member
of the Legislature has been able to
learn. In the meantime, the two
houses of the Legislature went
ahead and did their duty, and Senate
Bill 185, which is now in the Govern
or's shands, is. the result. It is very
evident that the Legislature was viii
ling to meet the Governlor on any
reasonable basis, but the Governor,
according to some, was endeavoring
to trick the solons into yielding to
his terms, or according to others, his
unstable mind and vacillating charac.
ter were working true to form, and he
could not arrive at a decision in time
to effect the legislation which was be-
ing considered.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
the Governor can give Arizona a
highway department if he wants to,
the bill is before him and there is
nothing to keep him from signing it.
