the fundamental corporation law fur
Their than to provide for the incorpora-
ton of cooperative marketing asso-
Citations of producers without as well
as with capital stock, and providing

of such marketing organizations.
Aaron Sapiro, the author of the bill.
is the attorney for II of the largest

Several important measures were
disposed of in the house committee of
the whole, among them the measure
for the creation of a university fund.
This bill provided for a levy of 0016
mills on the dollar, a continuing levy
which would provide an annual fund
which would grow with the growth of
the taxable wealth of the state to meet
the growing needs of the institution.
The benefit of it as explained in an
address by Mr.. Kimball. 1t was OPP
posed by Speaker Keefe, who said that
on account of the rapid growth of the
institution it would be necessary every
two years to increase the levy. He
said that he believed that for west
ern institution the budget system
would be better. He added that he had
lately talked with Judge Wells, one of
the regents who told him that he was
4 Indifferent to the means by which the
money for the institution was raised
; Replying to the remarks of Mr..
Keefe, Mr.. KimbAll pointed out that in
10 western states the state universe
ties and agricultural colleges are sup
, ported by the millage system. A
! strong plea for the system was made
2 by Mr.. Haynes of Pima, who said that
: under the present methods of raising
, money for the university it was neces-
, sary for the president of the institution
: to come before the legislature and con-
I vert himself into a lobbyist. The flex-
Utility of the millage system was dweit
t upon by MIR. Haynes, the increase OF
4 the fund with the increase of the uni
versity's needs; the readiness of funds
Y with which to do the things that must
: be done
Bill Is Recommended to Pass
Mr. Schnpp offered an amendment
reducing the levy from .0016 to .0013,
and that was adopted with little oppo-
sition Mr.. Keefe's motion to recon-
2 mend the indefinite postponement of
the bill was defeated and a motion to
recommend its passage was adopted.
House bill 146, annendatory of the
Hand CODE was before the house the
greater part of the afternoon. 1t was
at the point of death in the morning,
but action on it was deferred when II
was made known that its purpose was
not understood Land Commissioned
: Kuchlen was called before the com
; mittee in the afternoon and he so ex-
: planned the amendments proposed that
: a favorable report on 1t was made.
The changes, said Mr.. Kuchler, had
been offered to clear sup obscurities
that had been the cause of much of the
. trouble with which the land depart
. ment was stirred last year.
Among the bills favorabIy acted
upon by the committee were the fol-
q lowing: Amending the inheritance tax
law; increasing the limitation of fh<
, states bonded indebtedness in. aid OF
q irrigation: providing for the issuance
o of state bonds for irrigation district
e bonds.
: A bill that had generally been well
received was recommended for in
: definite postponement. 1t provided
K that bids for public work or furnish
: ing supplies should be accompanied by
$ checks certified by local banks. That
e seemed a safe provision, but it was
for such work against local bids local
: banks might discriminate to the dis
advantage of the state against the for
{ eign bidder in favor of a local client
and decline to issue a certified check
= in behalf of the former.
