tinued growth of health work
would not be crippled by him but
on the contrary, would still be
earnestly supported. However
there are no differences between
rs and l am glad of that. with
the backing which he will give the
needed health Legislation, l am
confident that this legislature will
do as much along health lines for
the people of this state as did the
1919 legislature. of which Mr.. Baca
was also a prominent member"
In the senate. Sellers also rose
to a question of personal privilege.
I He asked leave to introduce the
revenue code. house bill 100 as n
senate bill, and requested that the
printing and translating be dis
pensed with in order that these
costs might be saved He asked
that the bill be committed to the
committee of the whole senate and
considered section by section. He
asserted that promised tax revision
had been delayed and that it was
unlikely that anything would be
done with the mine tax law.
Phillips Answers.
Senator Phillips answered that
| the revenue code was now being
revised in a conference between
the governor and members of the
legislature and that these confer
cnces had been under way for
weeks, He declared that the bill
contained many matters and that
some things We're being put in and
others taken out. A substitute
! hill, he promised, would be intro
duCed in the house. The republic
can party, he asserted, had always
kept its platform pledges without
serious assistance and he expressed
a doubt whether Sellers knew what
was in the republican platform.
Senator Grantham, democrat re-
piled by declaring that If the re-
publican party had always carried
out its platform pledges the state
would not be in such bad financial
shane today. This parting shot
remained unanswered except by
the declaration of Phillips that II
the senate had more work and
less talk it would get farther.

tempted a solution of the mine Ia
nroblem when he INTRODUCED d
his mornings session of the nous
of representatives a bill to empoW
az the state commission to asses
mines and mineral lands and I'M

commission fixing the term th'
tax commission shall capitalize thu
