HOUSE RESOLUTION
 Asks GOVERNOR TO
 VETO LAND MEASURE

AiOA SO fSso . OAA as A@~S E~-~~ and sent 10 the senate was moved to- day by Galbraith, who previously had failed to have the bill. the land meas !, ure, recalled from the senate for re- consideration.
 The land bill, which had a stormy passage through the house and finally passed Jas; week, raises the one-sec- ton maximum on land leases and pro- yides for the extension of leases from five to twenty years.
 Galbraith. Lillywhite and others said that since the bill had passed the house there had been evidences of suspicious circumstances in state land dealings. No specific cases were cited but the members said that what they had learned had caused them to change their opinion of the bill.
 Measure Called Vicious
 Wyne and Delbridge said fiat,y that the measure was the most vicious piece of legislation in many years. Kimball also criticized its provisions and Mrs. Mckay said she understood it would be materially amended in the senate. where Senator Winsor had presented a minority report of th- land committee, condeming the bill.
 The motion 10 ask the governor to veto the measure was laid on the table and some of the representatives iltinated it would be brought up again :f the senate did not alter the lard measure considerably.
 The senate bill for an appropriation Tor approaches to Lees Ferry at the Grand Canyon was passed by the house and sent back to the senate on Us way to the governor
 Oil Bonus Passed
 The appropriation of s10.000 for a bonus to the first oil well brought in in Arizona Iwhich flows 50 barrels a day for 30 days, came up for recon sidera,ion. This originally was voted down by the house, but here again different members said they had had a change of heart and the bill was passed. The explanation of those who switched their votes was that they had not realized previously what such a bonus would mean to the state and to Navajo county, the center of oil prospecting.
 Winsor's election code. which al ready has passed the senate with amendments, appeared in the house today and was passed along to the committee of the whole. with the prospect that it vii come up in the next day or two.
 conferees Appointed
 A difference of opinion between the senate and house has arisen over the appropriation for a bridge over the Colorado river in Mohave county This appropriation made it's first ap- pearance in the house as s25. 1000, then was raised 70 s35.ec0 and finally |. s4c,000, in which shape it passed. The senate today notified the house tha; it had failed 10 concur in the amend ments, and Speaker Peterson appoint ed a committee composed of Waters, Flood and Richards to confer with senate committee on the measure. The bill in its amended form elimin- ates the mouth O. the Grand Wash as the proposed bridge site and leaves to the state engineer and the Mohave county supervisors the choice of a ! location.
 A new bill introduced today would | provide penalties for notaries public ] who continue as such after the expir- | ation Of their commissions. It was explained that the notarial bond ex- pires with the commission and the | state has no way of punishing a man | who persists in taking acknowledge ments after his permit has expired. | One instance was cited in particular in which . former notary had contin- ued to act for two years after his powers lapsed.
 A suggestion was offered that a bill also be drafted to legalize acknowledg- ments which had been taken in that manner so that innocent land owners might not suffer through their titles being questioned. The penalties pro- vided in the bill are fines from Szs to $360 and imprisonment not to ex- reed 90 days.
