IS
MAKING RECORD
FOR RAPID WORK
Business Of This Session Is
More Advanced Than Pre-
vious Ones In Equal
Time-Put In Short Day
Thursday

Interrupted by the FESTIVITIES Oh tHe
cattlemen. neither house of the iegis-
Iature put in full day yesterday.
Both expected to do so, but once under
the spell of the barbecue and the sue
ceeding demonstration 1t was morally
certain that the legislative day would
be sadly mutilated
AT noon both houses took a recess
for the barbecue, the senate until y
O'clock a reasonable hour in the Cir
cumstances, and the house until 2
O'Clock, an apparently unreasonable
one and so events proved. At thai
time there was not a quorum present.
The absentees had not "cut and rum"
They merely went into hiding in the
lower floors of the capitol until the
hour of assembling, and rightly reck-
oning that an early adjournment for a
lack of a quorum would be taken they
hurried to the chamber and expressed
regret at the precipitateness of the ad-
journment when there was SO much
TO do.
As a matter of fact, the work of the
legislature in both houses is pretty well
along as compared with the progress of
earlier legislatures. The senate re-
assembled at o'clock and put in the
rest of the day in the order of third
reading.
New Bills In House
New bills were introduced in the
house as follows: Substitute for 113,
brought in the day before by Mr.. Udall,
intended to relieve Mexicans and their
descendants who became citizens OF
this country under the Guadalupe Hi
dalgo treaty who had resided in the
territory so conveyed by that treaty
since 1885 and who had been residents
of Arizona since 1900, from the restric-
lions of the educational qualification
The substitute makes the object of the
bill only a little palmer and includes in
its provisions Mexicans who elected to
become residents of the United States
under the Gadsden treaty.
House bill ia, by Mr.. Cobbe. to pre-
vent the federal reserve banks from
refusing local banks exchange on
checks and drafts.
House bill 115, by Mr.. Hall. ar
amendment of the present inheritance
tax law. This bill alters in many re-
spects the present law, but it in nc
wise resembles the comprehensive
measure brought into the senate the
day before by Mr.. Larson.
House bill ZIG, by MIR. BurlS. to pro-
vide for the laying of a gas main be-
tween Phoenix ana the buildings of the
Tempe Normal school.
House bill 1T. by Mr.. Miller, for the
creation of the Coconino- Yavapai game
preserve
NIT counties to engage in industrial
pursuits. Plainly, the purpose of the
bill is to allow Maricopa county to en-
gage in the manufacture of cement by
removing ell the distractions in tho
way of that enterprise discovered las
summer when the county and the high
way commission were seeking relic
from the exactions of the cement as
sociation.
Four Bills Are Passed

house on third reading, passed, as fol
lows:

additional superior court for Yavapa

surgery. This bill was passed by

resented the more remote countie
whose members said that there were n
veterinaries in their counties who coul'
comply with the rigid terms of the bill
House bill rs, for the segregation o
high school pupils of the African an,
Caucasian races. Two votes were cas-
against it and complaint was made tina
the house, overwhelmed by the elo
quence of the Rev. Mr.. Sanford of tn
A. M. Z. church the day before, wa
blindly voting for the passage of tn
bill.
House bill II, providing for ascer
tanning the value of securities held b
insurance and fraternal societies by tn
process of amortization.

troll of the state corporation commits
sion which may fix license fee of 81
