HOUSE GIVES BUT. S60,000 T0 RUN
 THE STATE FAIR
Many Attempts Are Made to Cut Items In Appro- priatiOn Bill, But In Most Cases Tlcy Result In Failure

Cases Tlcy Result In Failure
 After tho transaction of necessary foutinc business yesterday morning both houses of the legislature settled down Co the consideration of the longer bills. Almost the whole of the afternoon in the senate was devoted Co tho water code in the committee of the whole. Professor Smith. irri- gation engineer of the university. ap- pearcd by invitation before the com mittee and explained the bill as he had done in tho house when the bill was before that body
 Tho house resumed blowing through thc general appropriation bill. As saults wcre made on nearly every item so as to reduce tho aggregate 10 some thing like that of former supply bills. Int in most cases these efforts at re- auction failed.
 There was one stock argument m favor of retaining the figures providing for new construction in tho various .tate institutions That was that the work was needed. that is. rather, em- uloyment was needed. That was met now and then with the statement that g considerable part ot tho cost of the various proposed buildings would be made up of materials rather than of labor. Tho rc-rcloinder Co that was that materials were tho products of labor also. somewhere. if not in Ari- Hona, and employment was needed everywhere.
 Fair or No Fair
 There was prolonged discussion oyer an attempt to strike out three sections making provision for the state fair. Tho first section authorized the appropriation of S95.000 for the two years. s75.00O or SO much of it as might be needed, for the present year and S-o.0OO for the next year. There was u general belief. and it was entertained also by the representation from this county. that that was more money than was needed. After some discus sion. Mir. Waters of Mohave moved that all three sections be stricken out rc Inc bill That motion was not made seriously. but a little later it was re- uowed by Mir. Nyne of Yavspai who alone had opposed the Northern Ari- zona state fair to be held in his own county. He did not believe that this was good year for state fairs. He was supported by Mir. Delbridge who dwel. upon the needs of labor.
 Mir. Howard of Cila said that there had been too much said about the coming hard times. The more they were contemplated the harder they would become. As for him he did not think they would be hard if people tUes nh hTs md FuT Hfftu about them. He believed that there would be work for all. One good way Inc said, Co make times hard would be to stop the distribution Of money. The flir, he thought, would facilitate the distribution and it would be mistake Co suspend it for a year.
 Vote it s60,00o
 Mcssrs. Galbraith and Barrows. bott ol whom had been urging the reduc- ton of appropriations wherever pos sible. did not believe that prosperity would be increased by the suspension of tho fair. though both Of them fa- Nored @ reduction of the proposed ap- uropriation for the fair Mir. Coleman had proposed an appreciation of s60, ,00t instead of S95.000, and Mir. Barrows who had suggested a reduction of tho appropriation Co S65000 accepted Mir Coleman's amendment which was at tlchcd Co Mir. Vines motion to strike out tho three sections. The amend. ment was carried and then vote wns taken on the Nyne motion whici received only five votes.
 The committee was more libera than the estimate in one respect Ther, was an item in the bill of sl50 for de iraying the expenses of the governor in attending annual conferences Tha was increased to $1.5O0. The insan asylum budget was reduced iron S240,000 to the amount appropriate, two years ago, slS0,0O0.
 When the sections making provision for the industrial school was reache, thc committee engaged in a symposium of fault finding of the institution. bu in the end increased the appropria tions for it far beyond the amour asked for. In this connection. Nil Barrows made a feeling talk describ !ug the unfortunate situation of th youngsters sent there. lt was decide that though the place was a rocker enough money should be spent to maIl it @ place for boys who. it is hoped may become good citizens. The dis cussion developed opposition to pro N'NAiH A'A tue ItNlNNdl oL lue luStl tuition.
