ably about ninety bills that will re-
quire action of the floor Of the
house"
This means that to finish the
work, fifteen bills will have to be
disposed of each day of the ses-
sion next week. There is likely to
be considerable debate on the reve-
nue. code and the Appropriation
bills and these will prevent the
consideration Of some of the other
bills remaining to be acted upon
The resolution referring all bills
to the steering committee takes
from the hands OF all other com
mittees their consideration of bills
referred to them for recommenda
tions. The resolution was adopted
by viva voCe vote and was rushed
through at the close of the session
Friday. Though to the unframed
ear it sounded like close vote be-
tween the ayes and noes, Speaker
Clancy declared the resolution
carried.
Two more days of the next week
will see the introduction of new
bills in the house. Two house joint
resolutions and sixteen new bills
were introduced in the house Fri
day. These not only require house
action, but senate action. and will
add to the work of both houses
and increase the average number
of bills that must be passed each
day remaining in the session.

drove the truck through the
crowded streets to an outly-

pouches of registered mail and
escaped, leaving the driver
locked in his own truck.
The pouches taken are
known to have contained the

than 100000.

two miles the truck was
stopped and looted and the
driver locked in the mail COM

the house, r. l.. Baca announced
tonight, to get a statewide primary,
when it is expected this bill, signed
by eight other republicans, will be
reported back by the committee.
The revenue code, the committee
substitute for house bill 100, has
arrived and may be ready for ac-

he has enough strength, with dem
cratic votes, to pass the primary
bill introduced by nine republicans
and the Hartell bill, defeated last
week.
With six more days for the Fifth
legislature to complete its work,
and in excess of 100 bills awaiting
action of the house and some of
these not yet reported out of COM
mittee, resolution has been
adopted referring all bills to the
steering committee. This is de-

MASKED BANDIT R0BS
RAMAH POST OFFICE

Gallup, N. M, March "a
masked bandit help up and robbed
the postoffice at Ramah, N. M,
sixty-five miles south of here,
Thursday evening shortly after
dark. Postmaster Richard White
was just preparing to close the Of
flee and leave for his home in an
other part of the village, when q
man entered the place. pointing an
automatic pistol at him and order
ed him to throw up his hands.
The bandit kept the postmaster
covered with the pistol and with
the other hand took all of the
money in the cash drawer, an
amount of about 500. The bandit
wore a black handkerchief tied
about his face and wore a heavy
slouch hat pulled down over his
eyes. eH
1t was practically impossible for
the postmaster to see any part of
his face, and would probably be
unable to identify the man if some
one were picked up on suspicion.
The Ramah officers are puzzled
over the mysterious robber as no
one of a suspicious character had
been seen about the village re-

Mr.. Conway urges that all
coaches keep their teams together
and not disband before plans for
the tournament are announced by
the committee.
Athletics are an important
part of tho education of the boys
and girls of the state and to stim-
ulate friendly competition be-
tween the various schools there
should be a state tournament In
each branch of sports" Mr.. Con-
way said. Under the present sys-
tenn" Mr.. Conway continued, "the
championship in each sport is un-
decided and this condition creates
an undesirable result, as claimants
to honors are found in every sec
tion because schedules are not ar
ranged so the strongest team in
each section of the state are
brought together"
To Invite All Teams.
1t is Mr. Conway's idea that the
tournament be an open affair and
invitations be sent out to every
high school in the state to send
boys and girls teams to meet to
decide the state championship
The plan of holding a restricted
tournament to which only certain
teams are invited is not desired by
the state superintendent.
Mr.. Lougee in a statement today
favors Albuquerque as the location
of the tournament, A meeting OF
the committee will be called as
quickly as possible to discuss plans
for the tournament and arrange
details of financing the rather
heavy expense incident to such an
undertaking. A preliminary pro-
posed by Mr.. Lougee provides that
the teams pay their railroad fare
to and from Albuquerque and thai
the hotel accommodation be ar.
ranged by the tourney committee
From all funds remaining after ex.
penses are met. the teams will bt

None of these men have had any

Mr. Crawford, who had been ill for
nearly a week, got UP from a sick

ule; but all alike sacrificed them

easily determined. There is some
support for a statewide primary
there, The democrats have voted
solidly for the statewide plan when
ever they have had an opportunity.
Some republicans have voted with
them. Recently a republican bill
was presented asking for a state
wide primary. Nine republicans
signed it as authors. Three more
republicans are reported to have
signified their intention of sup
porting it. These twelve with four
teen democrats possess the balance
of power in the house and might
pass a statewide bill there, al
though it is doubtful.
There was another hard prob
lem before the Legislature which
appears to have been happily
solved. That was the question of
whether the state department of
health or the child welfare board
would be designated to receive any
funds which might be given to this
state under the Sheppard -Towner
bill.
A fortunate compromise bill has
passed the senate. 1t provides for
a department of public welfare
with two chief bureaus-one of
health and one of child welfare.
An entirely new board would be
appointed by the governor and the
health and child welfare boards
would be abolished. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the tenth and
eleventh fiscal years has been
promised with the possibility of a
suitable emergency appropriation
for the remainder of the ninth.
At the same time this bill was
passing there was introduced in the
senate a resolution providing that
the legislature might provide for
the operation and control of state
institutions. This would permit the
legislature to turn over to the de-
partment of public welfare such
allied forms of welfare work as 1t
found suited to the new board ana
for which such board would be
particularly fitted to act.

There are republican senators
who are opposed to any primary
and who insist on voting their con-
victions. 1t might be added that
there is at least one democratic
senator who is unalterably opposed
to any form of a primary. There
are, however, enough senators who
favor limited primary to enable
such a bill to pass at this session.
Tho Primary Bill.
One of the tasks to which the
republican majority in the senate
has set itself to complete over the
weekend is the final draft of this
primary bill, Speaking roughly. it
will provide for delegates to coun-
ty, district and state conventions,
this being the republican platform
pledge. 1t may include a provision
to allow each county 20 decide for
itself whether or not it wishes a
primary. If it chooses to have one
the primary must follow the sys-
tenn outlined.
The series os votes on various
bills yesterda. in the senate show
ed clearly that a strict primary for
county officers only with sections
inserted solely for checking fusion
movements was not wanted at this
time. 1t also showed that state
wide primary has a large group of
enemies not confined to any one
political faith The senate voting
indicated that a primary some
where between the statewide and
the required county plan must be
drafted.
