Negro High Schools Delayed
The house bill providing for the seq
rogation of African and Caucasian hlgh
school pupils was taken up, but the
committee could not reach an agree
ment on the question of establishing
equal facilities for negro pupils; not
that they entertained any prejudice
against the latter, but the objection
was made that there were so few OF
them in every community that it would
be a burden to provide them with such
expensive facilities as We're required
for the more numerous white pupils,
1t was explained though that the facili-
ties for the few. though they might
serve every purpose, need not be so
expensive. But this bill also went over.
Two measures in which real estate
men have a special interest were rec
commended One of them amends the
present law relative to the forfeiture of
contracts for sale. 1t proposes that the
forfeiture may be declared within vari-
Gus times, the periods of them depend
ing upon the proportion of the pur-
chase price that has been paid. The
bill is intended further to secure the
rights of the purchaser. The other bill
proposes sale and foreclosure of prop
eFty by trustee agreed upon at the
time of making the loan or the assum-
ing of the obligation by the purchaser.
Crime Wave Bill Lost
The senate bill intended to curb the
crime wave by making the minimum
penalty for robbery 20 years and the
maximum life, was recommended for
indefinite postponement.
Senate bill lis, amending the law
relative to the management of irriga-
ton districts, specially with relation to
the generation of power, was favorably
recommended. President Wilkinson
described the purpose for which this
measure had been introduced. He said
that it was proposed to dam the Salt
River at Mormon Flats to obtain water
for the irrigation of 10000 acres of land
outside of the Salt River project. Ar
engagements had been made for the ca
pitalization of the project through Los
Angeles banks, and only the authority
of law was required to begin the execu-
ton of it.
In the course of the day. former Sen
ators J. L. Hubbell of Gapado, and Fred
S. Breen of Flagstaff occupied seats on
the floor
Today being a holiday. the senate ad-
iourned to 10 o'clock on Wednesday
morning.
A recent test to determine how long
seeds remain alive showed interesting
results. Seed corn gathered in 1908
and terminated in 1920 was very low
in ViRrty, the grains producing very
weak sprouts as compared with one
year-old corn. Tests also prove that
seeds have low vitality when gathered
during years of excessive humidity and
rainfall. Oats and wheat seeds gath
cred in 1915 show extremely low vi
tality.
