Arizona republican., 1921-03-10

accumulated business in both houses or the legislature in the day sessions. No measures or popular interest were to be considered, with the exception of, the county removal bill though there was probability that the omnibus bill might be taken up in the senate and that the general appropriation bill might also reach the upper house.
 Medical Bill to Governor
 The house spent the entire afternoon in the third reading or the general supply bill which was then sent to the senate for consideration last night. The chiropractic bill and the medical reciprocity bill were sent to the gov ernor.
 The bill for the control of the Cave Creek floods was expected to come for second reading when the amendment proposed by President Wilkinson the night before would be attached and 1 with that. the bill already had the ap- proyal of the committee of the whole. The amendment proposes to safeguard any rights the state may have in an irrigation enterprise incidental to the control work.
 When the omnibus bill, which had been returned from the house, was reached in the routine of the morning, MT. Sims asked that it be sent to the appropriations committee with the understanding that it be returned at 2 o'clock for action relative to concur renee or non- n-concurrence. That was done, but at o'clock the senate was engaged in other matters. It was gen. erally understood that concurrence would be effected with some difficulty, | Ii at all. because of the elimination by the house of the Holbrook- -Lupton pro- l ject and the inclusion of other projects which are not along the line of state highways or through routes.
 1 The house disposed of the workmen's compensation act in the morning and sent it to the governor. Under the impetus of this act, the immigration commissioner bill was carried through, l but later in the day the house recon sidered the vote by which the latter had been passed. It was then too late. l Senate Morning Session When the senate assembled in the morning there was presented a com- munication from State Treasurer Ear hart in which he stated that under a l law passed in the last session the treasurer was required to publish in a daily or weekly paper the annual fi- | nancial statement. That publication had been ordered by the predecessor of 1 MT. Earhart. and the bill for it was | s576. That bill had not been paid and
 there remained in the contingent fund
 of the office less than $100. It was | therefore urgent that relief be af- forded the office.
 In the morning session of the senate committee of the whole three bills in | troduced by MT. Elliott were recom- mended for indefinite postponement 1T his somewhat continued absence from
 his seat No one inquired into the
 merits of the measures, but the mem
 bers seemed to regard this disposition
 of the bills as a fitting punishment fol
 the absentee.
 There were the eleventh hour re.
 criminations between the two houses l each charging the other with holdin, up it's bills in favor of those of tn
 other house. In order to disabuse tn . minds of the members of the hous who had been so complaining Senate : Stoddard introduced the following res olution. pledging the senate to the dis : position of every house measure fl like the conquest of the confederacy it takes all summer"
