Arizona republican., 1921-01-28

of new court, Mir. Krebbs said that | both Judge Lockwood and Judge | Sames had told him recently that such | a branch court could not be instituted | for less than s30,0o0. A motion to en- whole was lost by a vote of Il to 24, | Delay Action on Bill 37 The last measure before the com mittee was house bill 37 increasing 1 from s100 to $1.000 the amount of pur- chases by boards of supervisors with out having to advertise for bids. A good deal of opposition was mime diately developed to this measure but t was temporarily allayed by an amendment offered by Mir. Pishon, limiting the purchase without an ad- vertisement of bids to $500. Final action was not taken by the committee, which sent the bill back to the com mittee on efficient government. The fact that the bill bore an emergency clause aroused suspicion that it was not brought in for good purpose but to enable boards of supervisors some where to favor impatiently waiting | friends.
 The committee also had under con- sideration the bill relating to expendi- lures of candidates in primaries and which proposes to eliminate from the statements of expenses of candidates the money expended by them for post age, printing and advertisements. The committee on efficient government had reported this bin unfavorably though l there was a favorable report from an- other quarter amending the bill. The amendment provides that a statement | shall be made regarding expenditures | for postage. printing and advertise ments but that it shall not be included in the sum to which the expenditures | of the candidates are limited by law The bill went back to the committee on judiciary.
