Urges Economy
ne senate went into the committee
oL W the whole for the consideration of
three bills on the calendar. two Of
them being the Stoddard bills for the
repeal of house bills SO and 139 of the
last session providing for the under
writing by the state Of bonds Of ir-
rigation districts. Mr.. Stoddard
urged the repeal of this legislation
on the ground of economy and espe-
cialy because, in the present state Of
finances, the state could not under
take such an enterprise.
Mr.. Lines spoke in favor of the
principle Of the legislation. That
view was taken by President Wilxin-
M Fh,~ sol Iii
regular session did not have his full
approval, though he had supported
them.
Senator Elliott did not discuss the
merit of the legislation, but he con-
fined himself to the tangled state of
1t and suggested that some legislation
be enacted covering the subject to be
submitted to the people at the COM
ing election. AT the end of an hour
it was resolved to take these matters
up at another session of the commit

on the calendar.
One of the district irrigation meas
ures was then taken up. 1t was de-
veloped that the purpose of it was not
quite clear to the members and it was
determined to call interested persons
In to explain it.
That brought from Senator Sims
an objection TO open hearings in the
committee of the whole which, he
said, had never been productive of
anything except a waste Of time. He
suggested that consideration be given
bills in the standing committees, be-
fore which those interested might ap-
pear, permitting the senate mean
While to continue with it's business.
Many Would Be Heard
There are several measures on
which outsiders desire to be heard.
Hearings win be given them in the
larger committee room, which may
be attended by other members than
those of the committees. desiring to
acquaint themselves more fully with
The views of Interested persons than
they could in the course of considera-
ton in the COMMITTEES of the whole.
When the senate reconvened, SEN
ator Sims motion against open hear
ings in the whole committee was fav-
orably acted upon and the whole
committee was requested to discon-
tinue such hearings.
Beside the routine business Of the
house. Speaker Keefe, calling atten-
tion to the fact that the senate on
Tuesday had appointed members of
a Joint committee to visit the uni
versity. announced the appointment
