Arizona republican., 1921-02-20

from the county of ah-Ute, of which not one living Arizonian in 50 ever has heard and which was short lived. It embraced the territory lying north of the Colorado. It was represented In the legislature only once, and soon aft CT that it was disorganized.
 Among the bills before the senate on third reading was the measure pro- hibiting landlords and proprietors of apartment or lodging houses from ad vertising that families with children would not be received by them and at tempting to enforce such Q notice to tenants. This bill had been pretty strongly opposed, chiefly on the ground that 1t afforded no protection to the owner against subletting. When the reading of the bill mad been finished, Senator Saunders desired at that late moment to amend it for the protection of landlords against parents with class of children that are sometimes graphically and correctly described as little hellions" MT. Saunders believed that a landlord should not be compelled to harbor children of a kind that might prove to his disadvantage and that some power ought to be extended to. him to protect himself against undesir- able tenants by means of subletttng. The bill was referred for the purpose of being so amended.
 Fear National Party Division
 An effort was made to bring up Sen ate Joint Resolution No. 8 by MT. Scott. This is a resolution or memorial to the president concerning the emergency tariff legislation now pending in con- gress. Opposition to the immediate consideration of it developed and here for the first time since rne beginning of the session there seemed to be about to be a. division along party lines, not state, but national party lines, on ths | subject of the protective tariff. Not word was said to indicate that. The | theme of the protective tariff was not mentioned, but there was a hurried conference of the Democratic members. | The Republicans either did not ob serve this or did not care to resist the | demand for a pOstponement of the question which was allowed to go over | to tomorrow.
 Two bills were passed: One of them requires that bids on public work or | for furnishing supplies shall be accom- Lpanied by a check which shall be certi- fled by some local bank.
 l The bill making more stringent the law against the practice of barratry | also was passed. The present law merely defines barratry in the most | general terms and the whole subject Is compressed into a half dozen lines of the statute. But the bill defines it at
 length and prohibits under severe pen
 a1ties the solocoting by attorneys of j business or the offering of any induce
 ment to persons to engage in litigation.

 permitted.
