CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED chise county was introduced by all four women members of the house. Representative Hayward, Rosa Me Kay of Gila county. Pauline O'Neill of Maricopa county and Mrs. J. H. Westover of Yuma county. Tonight the house marked time, waiting for the senate, which had recessed dur ing much of the afternoon, to act.
 Governor CampbeIFs suggestion as to legislative attaches was not acted upon fayorably by the house, the ma jority membership is Democratic while the governor is a Republican.
 The house patronage committee re ported adversely on the proposal that clerks in the various departments of the state administration be drafted to serve the legislature, expressing the opinion that the departments had no more clerical assistance than needed for the transaction Of busi- ness A few clerks were secured by the houses during the afternoon from other sources.
 Soon after the legislature convened bill was passed appropriating S4OOO for the session. This would be suffi- cient, it was believed. to take care of all expenses should the sessicn last several days.
 The uuickness with which the houses acted was a surprise to politi- cal leaders and observers who had believed the session would not com ,pIete its business before some time Monday. The shortest legislative ses- sion ever held in the state however. was terminated shortly after adop- tion of the ratifying resolution by the senate when both houses adjourned sine die.
 Arizona is the 31st state to ratify the amendment.
 An enlivening feature in the senate tonight was the renderiny of a report by a select committee of three com menting adversely on Governor Camp bells suggestion as to clerks, and also criticizing his action in limiting the session to consideration of the sui frage amendment. The committee said the chief expense had already been incurred in mileage and per diem and it would have been economy to consider other legislation, includ- ing raising teachers salaries, revision of election laws, and a plan to remedy the high cost of living. Since, how ever. the call had been so limited, the committee expected the senate to transact it's sole duty as expeditiously as possible. x
 Governor Campbell, commenting on the committee report, said:
 .'The report of the senate select committee on the governors message
 
 onstrated the soundness of my judg- mcnt Tn limiting the call for the spe- cial session to. the ratification of the suffrage amendment.
 "These are the same men who in 1919 proved to be obstructionists ln the path of progressive legislation, and it is very evident that no con structive good would have Issued from lengthy session..
 When Governor Campbell was read ing his message today, former Gov ernor Hunt was seated on the plat form beside the speaker of the house.
 Both houses adjourned sine die after the senate's action, less than 1V hours from the time of cOnVenlng- Governor Campbell and his secreta- ries were in the executive office in readiness to attend to the signature of the suffrage resolution, which led to a report, later denied by Private Secretary Mines, that the resolution had been transmitted for signature. When more than an hour had passed after the senate's adjournment, the impression prevailed that in the ex- ecutive offices the legislature had not intended to send the resolution up for the governors signature. It was pointed out that approval by the goy- ernor was not necessary to complete the legislative action.
