Amendments Passed
BY Chief Executive
Continued from page y

ernor regarding the state officials
who should be favored with invi-
tations to attend the joint session of
the legislature at the reception and
address OF Secretary Hoover.
The inheritance tax bill was con-
sidered. The only objection offered
was to the so-called "joint tenancy"
clause which Senator Sims believed
might interfere in its present form
with community property rights as
defined by the statutes. Mr. Larson,
the sponsor for the bill, did not be-
heve that there would be such in
reference, but agreed to remodel the
clause.
The house bill authorizing the
board of sra ervisors of Maricopa
county to transfer temporarily $685.
600 of the county highway fund to
the Cave Creek control fund. was
passed.
The afternoon session of the sem
ate was spent in the committee of the
whole. the greater part of the time
being devoted TO the banking code
The banking committee had suggested
a half dozen amendments to the bill
which had been carefully prepared
by leading bankers of the state with
the assistance Of State Auditor Fair
field.
After these amendments had been
disposed of the whole committee was
seized with a mania for amending
and numerous changes were ordered.
AS many more were turned town.
Finally in shape of which perhaps
none of the members had an exact
idea, the bill was favorably reported.
The rest Of the session was given
to Senate Bill No. 20. Mr.. Lines
county classification bill. Here there
was a general raising Of salaries. AS
result an attempt was made to
recommend the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill and that failed only
by single vote. But its opponents
said last night that they were hope
full of accomplishing it later.
The Morning Session
There was only morning session
of the house. A message was re-
ceived from Secretary Hoover ac-
cepting an invitation to address the
legislature in joint session at 10
o'clock on Thursday morning. A res
olution was passed for the admission
to the floor of the secretary's party
at that time.
Several news bills were introduced:
House Bill No. 81, by Mr.. Haynes,
in relation to the act of congress se-
providing that claimants for benefits
without costs. certificates of such
records as they might require in sup
port OF their claims.
House Bill No. 55, by Mr.. Hays,

positorS and creating a depositors'
guaranty fund commission.
House Bill No. 56, by Mr.. Neal.

state real estate department.
The controversy over the senate
concurrent resolution urging the es-
tablishment of the hospital of the
international enginemen and firemen
at Tucson was revived yesterday by
Mr.. Gale who had first opposed the
adoption of the resolution in the form
in which it had come from the SEN
ate. On the statement of F. ]. K.
MBride that he had learned from
the legislative committee of the en-
ginemen that Tucson had ben agreed
to as the only Arizona city in which
the hospital would possibly be To-
Gated, Mr. Gale had moved to re-
ject the report of the select commit
tee which had commended the strik-
ing out of the name Tucson and
substituting for it OF 'seme point in
Arizona"
Mr.. Gale said that on his end of
the week return to Prescott he found
a hostile sentiment against him in
consequence of his action and also
he had learned more of the status of
the hospital than he had known be-
fore.
The chamber Of commerce OF Pres
colt had wired the headquarters of
the enginemen asking if it were true,
as had been stated. that the inves-
tigating committee of the order had
settled upon either Tucson or Ell
Paso as the site. A reply had been
received that there had been no such
decision and that none would be
reached before the convention of the
order in May
Mr.. Gale said that he had been
shown the kilograms to Mr.. M'Bride
who admitted that he had been mis-
informed and that he would gladly
appear before the house to make
statement.
Mr.. Gale then moved that the sem
ate be requested to return the res
olution which had been passed last
Friday and returned to that body.
