Arizona republican., 1919-02-11

AAAAoo. Ill luo Coual0cid dllou VI the bill yesterday, an amendment was adopted raising the age for admission to SO years and the required service as a miner to 10 years. Many other amendments were offered and failed. The bill appropriates s25oo00 for the establishment of the hospital and the home, and for their maintenance, five per cent of all the revenues de- rived from the mining companies. No body seemed to have taken the trouble to ascertain how much that would amount to. MT. Coleman made a rough estimate of the amount the county of Pinal would yield to the support of the home-about s43,ooo annually. Other counties would yield less and some more.
 MT. Barrows opposed the bill on the grounds that it was class legislation and therefore unconstitutional, and that the economic conditions of the state at this time would not justify such an expenditure as the bill pro- posed. All the speeches in its favor were confined to descriptions of the | hard lot of the miners the part they | had played in the building up of the | state. The defense of the bill in the | committee was toward the last half l
 
 | defeat. | Senate Sends Memorial On the senate side of the capitol the l | incident most out of the ordinary was a memorial to congress introduced by 1 Senator Claypool at the request of the l Phoenix Trades Council urging the immediate adoption by congress of the policy of government ownership of the railroads. the telegraph and telephone lines. It was recited that when the government took over the direction Of the lines it was found that it would require sl,000, ,ooo,000 to rehabilitate | them and it was stated that nearly one billion had already been spent. The memorial stated as thing settled be- yond all cavil, that the railroad of ficials who had been retained by the administration to give physical direc- ton to the roads, had so managed things as to try to make the admin istration a failure.

 torial existence, the work to be con- tinued by Thomas F. Parish, state historian, who has. compiled and had printed eight volumes of the history.
