keefe Starts Work
The ground for revision of the
work of Saturday was cleared by
motion by Speaker Keefe in the COM
mittee of the whole for reconsidering
the votes by which all OF the amend
ments had been adopted that day.
The vote on the motion was not re-
corded but 1t was so decisive that a
division was rot necessary.
The first motion Offered was by
Mr.. Kinball in relation TO the pro-
vision for the support of the univer-
sity. Instead of declaring there is
hereby appropriated" the amendment
contains only mandate TO the legis-
lature to make provision in the gem
eral appropriation bill for the levy
of S5- 100 of mill. That was adopted
by viva voce vote.
Mr. Haynes than offered an amend
ment authorizing or ordering an ap-
preparation for the state school fund
which would be equivalent to the sum
raised by per capita Of not less than
$25. That also carried by an unre-
corded majority. Next, Mr.. Gale Of
fered the substitute for section 5 and
that was adopted in like manner.
The supporters of the bin in the form
in which 1t had been sent over from
the senate had nothing else to suggest
and a motion was Offered that the
committee recommend that the bill
do pass as amended"
Mr.. Jones, who had been watching
with disappearing eye the rapidity
with which events had moved and the
long distance traversed in so short a
time cried, "EIold oni You're getting
ahead of your program" Other mem
bers took note OF the Improperly OF
depriviHg any member Of an oppor-
tunity to offer an amendment.
Mr.. Frazier offered one TO strike
out the word Thereafter which had
been stricken out on Saturday be-
cause ii was shown that it would pre-
vent the state from entering into an
agreement with the agricultural de-
partment to maintain roads which
had been constructed under CO. oper-
Rtive agreement Though this
amendment was not on the program
OF yesterday 1t was adopted.
Public School Fund
Miss Eoehringer again offered the
amendment regarding the public
school fund which she had success
fully offered on Saturday, but this
= Al
that that subject had already been
covered by Mr.. Haynes amendment
Several other amendments designed
to restore part OF those Of last
Saturday failed and then the motion
that the committee recommend the
passage of the bill was adopted.
The bill in its present form is un-
derstood to have the approval of
the governor and it is understood fur
ther to have been brought about by
conference between him and the Re-
publican members of the house as
we'll as by several bipartisan meet
ings Of members of both houses since
last Saturday night. Whether enough
Of them have been brought together
to give the bill the rs votes necessary
TO carry the emergency clause will
probably be determined today.
It was by sort of numerical CO.
incidence that the senate also found
itself engaged with another No. 43.
substitute house bin As for the
amendment of the county highway
commission act The committee on
style rivision and compilation had re-
turned this bill in the morning after
making the amendments ordered the
day before The bin makes possible
the reduction of the number of COM
missioners from five to three and re-
lieves count Which do not need
commissions not want them Of
the necessity 9ving them
But the essen Il part of the bill so
far as it affects Maricopa county, and
this county is really the only one af-
fected, Is a clause permitting the
board of supervisors to take inlme-
date control of any surplus that
might be left over after the compile
tion of a road program without watt
ing until the program had been COM
pleted. This amendment, with the
consent of everybody concerned, was
designed to facilitate road building in
this county outside the county high
way program in charge of the COM
mission.
Bill Is Defeated
Companion to this bill was senate
bill so, by Mr.. Burton, proposing the
abolition of all county highway COM
missions. They had been kept to-
gether or in close proximity for a
week. In the afternoon under sus-
pension OF the rules the substitute
bill was brought up for third read
ing, but on roll call it failed of Sc
curing the necessary two thirds to
carry the emergency clause. the vote
being IL to 8. Some changes of
votes were made, it is believed for the
purpose of reconsidering the vote to-
day.
The roll cali was preceded by a
