Arizona republican., 1919-03-05


 pie at the 1920 election, and as then q state superintendent would have to be voted for under the existing law, and would hold office for two years after his election, there would not seem to be overmIch precipitateness about the proposed legislation.
 The bill had passed the house with | only four votes against it. The senate committee of the whole. however, rec commended it for indefinite postpone ment by vote of II to 6. MT. Green, a supporter of the bill, changed his vote and gave notice of a motion to recon slider. so that there is yet hope that it may be enacted.
 l Echo of Old Struggle | There Was an echo in the house in the afternoon of the struggle over Sen ate Dill 17, though TO mention was made of that famous bone of conten- tion. It came with a motion by MT. ! Galbraith 10 reconsider the vote by which house bill so, the state land bill, | had been passed by the house. Though | that bill had been opposed solidly by the so-called radical element, there were but few votes of that element in favor of the motion to reconsider, and it was lost. Mir. Galbraith then of fered another motion with the draft of letter to the governor asking him to veto the bill when it should reach him. That motion was tabled, though with an understanding that that was not the end of it.
 It was stated by some who had voted against the motion that unless certain amendments were made to the bill in the senate, they would vote to take up the motion. It is, however. by no means certain that there will he 1 enough votes in the senate to pass the land bill with the emergency clause. and without that clause, it would not be of much service, for undoubtedly the referendum would be invoked
 New Bills in House
 In the house several new bills were introduced
 By Mir. Howard, to permit the hunt ing of quail and rabbits in the Pinal Mountain state game preserve.
 By MT. Waters, a bill amending the law with reference to fees in justices courts.

This is intended to cure an evil that has become common Some notaries continue to act lons after their commissions and bonds have expired and thus complicate titles and other documents upon which theiI names appear.
