 TO PAY EXPENSES OF
 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

PHoENlX. Feb. 17.-How long will the special session of the legis- lature last? That is a companion to the ques-l ton: What is the legislature going to do?
 An answer to the first was indicat- ed yesterday when the house commit tee on appropriations presented House Bill No 1. commonly called the feed bill." inasmuch as it car ried appropriations for the salaries Of the legislators, their mileage. the emolument of the clerks. appropria- tions for contingent expenses, and for completing the records of the session.
 The total of the appropriations for expenses of the session was s5l,SSo. made up as follows Salaries of members. sIs2io: salaries of enl playes. s1i.000; mileage of members, s2,63l.2o; contingent expenses, SIS, O0s.s0 expense of completing the records. sl .000
 All these figures were prepared on the basis of a today session, as one will ascertain by the process of long division, using the number of mem bers as the divisor and the amount appropriated for salaries as the diyi- dend This does not mean that the session will not last longer than 10 days. for it is within human experi- ence in Arizona that two feed bills" have been passed in one session.

 It was the policy of the committee on patronage to retain those attaches of the regular session who should presen; themselves. and fill only the vacancies by new appointments
 The report of the committee was adopted and little later house joint resolution No. was introduced by Mr. Barry of GiIa asking the corpor- ation commission for the loan of the services of Oscar Zapf as chief clerk.
 In the Senate.
 Just before the close. Senator Sims asked whether the rules of the regu. lar session would be in force. Presi dent Wilkinson replied that that would be determined this morning with the report of the rules commit tee. Mir. Sims then wanted to know concerning the personnel of the rules committee. That. too, said the pres ident. would be disclosed this morn ing.
 On account of the succession in the house of S. B. Gilliland of Coco nino and L. H. Hays, of Cochise, a slight revision of the standing com { niittees, which were 10 be otherwise
