of President Obregon was given its third reading and was unanimously adopted and sent to the house. This action was preceded by some question ing as to the propriety of the form of it, inasmuCh as it was addressed to congress and suggested congressional action along with it's address to the president and the state department But the reference to congressional ac- tion appeared to be a suggestion that congress itself memoEalize the eX ecutive department on that subject.
 Raises Seeretary's Pay
 The resolution of MT. Stoddard the day before requiring that the intro ductiOn of bills should be limited to the first thirty days of the session and after that their introduction only with the consent of two-thirds of the mem bership, was revised to a request that the legislature use it's best offices to prevent the introduction of bills after the thirty day period.
 Senator Sims moved that the salary of the secretary of the senate be in creased to S10 day, and that of his assistant to SS a day. The senator said that, speaking from his experi- ence as a presiding officer, the work of the secretary was most onerous and called for longer hours than those of any other attache. Mir. Burton raised a question whether it would be prop CT to pay an attache of the senate more than member. pr. Sims replied that the members were taking a part of their pay in honor. After some fur ther debate, the motion was allowed. but not before Senator Claypool called attention to the ups and downs of an- other faithful attache of the legisla- ture, to wit, the elevator man, and asked that his pay be increased $25 a month. This suggestion was not pressed and nothing was done about it. Tte only other business of the senate was to order the printing of 750 copies of all bills introduced in that body.
 For Slain Mans Widow
 Among the bills introduced in the house oHher than those mentioned were:
 House Bill No. Q, by MT. Burke. fol the relief of Mrs. Nellie Ray Span gler, wife of the night watchman mur- dered by two Mexican bandits.
