Arizona republican., 1921-03-11

At midnight last night the fifth Ari- zona legislature, due by law to come to a close at that hour, found itself di- vlded on the general appropriation bill
 The two houses seemed to be hope lessly apart and the indications were mat they could not be brought to- gether- Managers for each house had been appointed and shortly after F o'clock 1t was stated that the house was fbout to rewrite the bill, a task which 1t was estimated would take two hours. At the earliest it was predicted that the sun would rise on the morning of March II on the legislative session supposed to end on the tenth.
 The report of the senate appropria- tons committee was not submitted un- III the middle of the afternoon II bristled with amendments of the work Of the house and though it had cut down many of the increases made pv the house in the original bill it had generally increased the appropriations endorsed by the house so that the bill carried s5,s00.0
 There were several pages Of the senate amendments and their effect was so appalling that when the bill was sent back there was an instant declaration that they would not be concurred in or nearly concurred In The senators. or some of them. said that there was not the slightest pros . l pect of an important recession. Both houses went forward with the orders of business which finally cen Ftered in that Of third reading. As to most of the bills yet remaining there was little popular interest, since many though important, were not generally understood. As to most of them the legislators had lost their interest and were disposed to iettison all except i those in which they had a personal concern.
 Accept Omnibus Bill i The conference report submitted in i the afternoon on the omnibus good roads bill was accepted in both houses ] In the lower house there was no dis cussion and only viva voce vote was taken. But there was a hitch in the senate when Dr. Sims made point of order that q change had been made bv l the conference committee in an item which was not in controversy between the two houses. That amendment re- lated to the location of one of the roads through Apache county.
 1 President Wilkinson ruled that the various projects affected constitute a network of proposed highways so that any interference with a part of if was an interference with all Dr. Sims took an appeal from the ruling of the chaU. which was sustained by the fol- | lowing vote: Ayes-Burton. Curtin. Gooden Hedrick Larson. Lines. Schlei mer. Scott. Stoddard. Nays-Claypool Gull. Eddy, MacMillin, Morgan, Sims and Woodward
 Here was a breaking down of party Hines
 Mir. Barkell had done a great real in the house to bring the Cochise dele gation into line in favor of the biu there, so that opposition to the con ference report from that source was averted.
 The cooperative mark citing bill from tSe house was passed by the senate a little after 10 o'clock. having been ad vanced rapidly through the efforts largely of Senator Lines.
 Pass Cave Creek Bill
 The Cave creek flood control bill was passed with little opposition. though il was not until late that it reached third reading. Way for both these bills was made by a sitting" committee which was appointed when it was made plain
 that unless some discrimination should be exercised many meritorious bills
