MANY THINGS ARE ASKED OF COMING
 EXTRA SESSION

future for action on the suffrage amendment and other matters will not be set for any date earlier than Feb ruary 10, and the call for it will not be issued befor February 1. This was the announcement by Governor Campbell few hours after he had arrived in Phoenix.
 Everything in the legislative line from dog bill up to votes for women is proposed by the various interests in the state that are scrambling for the governors recognition for at least one dozen proposed bills to bring be- fore the coming special session of the legislature that the governor intend ed to limit to a vote on the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 The governor, just prior to his de- parture recently for Washington on official business, was firm in his atti- tude against throwing down the bars for the admission of all manner of bills and insisted that he would keep down expenses by limiting the special session to a single issue.
 He is reported due back tomorrow, when he will find that in his absence a dozen insistent demands for other issues have sprung up. Several pro- posed measures relating to road build ing are reported to have such heavy backing by the voters at large that the governor can hardly turn them down.
 Another proposal, with heavy back ing, came to light yesterday when it was learned that the states county employees and school teachers were signing up monster petition for leg islation on salary increases. Details about the new proposal are expected to be forthcoming soon, reports at the capitol indicating that a million dol Lar raid on the taxpayers was being organized.
 Just how the taxpayers will feel about producing another million, on top of all the existing taxation, is yet to be learned, but State School Superintendent c. o. Case takes the attitude that any state ought to close its schools rather than ask teachers to work for $S50 year in these times of high living costs. The state sup erintendent has nothing to say about the reported petition, but he holds unequiyocally that Arizona should be above starvation wages.
 Some of the Proposed Bills
 By the citizens of Tempe, legislation creating road district and legis- lative act authorizing the repaving of the Phoenix end of the Tempe-Phoe- nix road.
 By the people of Buckeye, construc- tion of highway through that vic- inity.
 By the people of Wickenberg, con struction of bridge over the Hassa- yampa river.
 By travelling salesmen, enactment of an absentee voters law.
 By more than 1000 signers of com- munications, repeal of the boxing law.
 By residents of Duncan, a direct appropriation for the rebuilding of the Duncan high school, recently destroy ed by fire. It is represented thas a direct tax on the people of Duncan would be too heavy.
 By the state attorney general, law authorizing bond issue to provide funds for paying bonus to ex-service men in the state.
 By citizens of Phoenix, a law per hitting state and county engineers to manufacture their own road building material.
 : By irrigation companies of Buckeye, headed by the Buckeye Irrigation Co.,, an ammendment to the existing drain age law so that all district assess ments would be made on a drainage basis and not on the ad valorem basis.
 By the Arizona Kennel club, and by dog fanciers throughout the state, measure for making it felony to kill dogs not committing depredations.
 By the United States public health service, bill embracing public health legislation.
 February 10 is being suggested by Governor Campbell in purely tentative form as the earliest time practical, as he proposes to meet various commit tees representing interest for legisla- tion at the coming session.
 The governor is non -committal about any plans he may have for opening the coming session to considerations other than the ratification of the Su- san B. Anthony amendment, but he proposes to give every committee an opportunity to plead the urgency of it's cause.
 "1t has been my observation" he said, "that very little is ever accom- plished at special sessions of legisla- lures, particularly in times when poli- tics can be factor in the workings of the sessions. Many matters, now of fered for consideration, were disposed of at the last regular session, and it
