At the conclusion of this order of
business the senate took up another
matter which has become as much a
part of the daily proceedings as the
prayers of the chaplain, the discussion
of senate bill 63, proposing an amend
ment to the constitution. permitting
the state to bond itself in the amount of
per cent of the total valuation, for the
building of roads and other improve
ments.
The bill in this form has been ap-
parently sustained for the last three
days and attempts to amend it by in
Producing provisions for soldier settle
ment and for irrigation, and the ex-
tension of the states credit have been
rejected; also there has been daily and
regularly rejected a proposal to reduce
the limit of Indebtedness to per cent.
Senate Get "AII Het Up"
Mr. Eddy, one of the supporters of
| the bill in it's present form, yesterday
| injected some spirit into the debate by
reminding the opponents who have peen
so solicitous for the ex-service men
that their opposition to the furnishing
of funds to continue road work had

chiefly aimed, replied with some heat,
whereupon Mr.. Claypool expressed re-
greet that the senate was getting al

membership turned to the portrait on

former president of the legislative
council. the originator of that classic

Mr.. Stoddard had renewed his mo-
! ton to amend the bill by the inclusion
of provision for the service men, and
| again it was rejected by vote OF to
10. Mr.. Elliott temporarily restored
peace or provided a modus vivendi by
moving that a committee be composed
of Senators Stoddard and Lines TO
bring in each a bill. the former one for
taking care of the eX-seryice men, ana
the latter a measure setting out ms
Views with respect to irrigation and
rural credits Mr.. Stoddard objected
to participation in the committee as he
Twas opposed to separate bills. But the
motion was adopted by a vote OF lO
to 9.

ireach the omnibus good roads bill II

day was too short communication
twas received from the Arizona Cattle

would not be married in the remaining
days of the session.
