 In Both House And Senate, Many Spirited Debates

There was an inundation of new bills in both houses of the legislature yesterday. and many of them were of constructive nature. one, by MT. Hughes. brought into the senate is di- rccted against the activities of loan sharks. It is modelled after the best legislation that could be found on the subject. IL puts under strict license aU who loan money at more than the iC gal rate of interest and does not per init the loaning of more than $500 10 one person at a usurious rate, which shall not exceed 312 per cent a month The business of the shark under this act would be so carefully supervised that he would be readily detected in a violation of the law, and the punish I1ent that would follow would be a deterrent against a second offense one penalty would be the forfeiture oi tho loan.
 X bill was introduced by AIr. Bueh- man supplementary of the law adopted by the people last fail for the remOd a'nG of the legislative system. It pro poses To put the legislature on a tern salary basis of S1.000, instead of thu present S1 per diem. limiting the tern for which a member can draw pay t' 60 days in a regular session.

 In the committee of the whole in the morning the teachers minimum salary bill was called up. Dr. Lacy, the author. suggested the reading Of an amended bill in place of the origin al bill, and in the end the measure lost it's place on the calendar and was re- ferred.
 There was a heated and prolonged contest over house bill 26, providing for preliminary examinations in mis- demeanor cases before the trial of them in courts Of record, but at length the committee voted to recommend the passage of the bill.
 Stubborn Contest.
 The most stubborn contest occurred late in the afternoon over Hous Bill If, concerning which the house has been deluged with communications from Bisbee and Douglas. This bill proposes the election of certain city of ticials whise offices are now appoin- tive. Stress was laid upon the demo- cracy of this proposition, the right of 1 the people to say who should serve them. After a talk of an hour or more l a proposition to recommend the pas sage of the bill was lost on q tie vote The opponents of the bill then pursued the matter d little too eagerly, for a motion for indefinite postponement failed.
 Several measures were considered ir the senate in the course of the day out conclusions were reached concern ing nothing of great importance. 4 considerable part of the afteronon Wa: taken up in a conference of the demo. cratic members, presumably on the Winsor amendment to the election cod, which, it is understood, will be shortl! offered.
