Arizona republican., 1922-04-06

in the house in which it did not
originate and each was so amended
that it will have to go back to the
other for concurrence or conference.
There is said to be no doubt of an
easy agreement on the house amend
ment to the financial code, but there
is a prospect of some difficulty in
reaching an agreement on the senate
amendments to the substitute bill,
though none OF the amendments af-
feet the avowed purpose of the bill.
1t was reported in the morning that
some slight amendment would be at
tempted in the house to Senate Bill
43 for the purpose of clarifying one
paragraph of the new Section
which had been adopted the day be-
fore. That, however. was not at
tempted, but in the course of the
reading of the bill, errors which were
rather typographical, were discovered
in that section, and by unanimous.
consent they were then corrected.
All Are In Seats
There was some doubt as to
whether the necessary two-thirds
could be mustered to carry the elner-
gency clause, and without that, it
would have been useless 10. pass the
bill. The friends OF the measure,
however, protested confidence Of q
vote OF from 27 to 20. Though the
opponents of the bill made no claims.
they were not without hope.
The reading of the bin was begun
after the brief routine business of
the house in the morning and before
full membership of 80. When the
morning roll call disclosed that at
tendance, something that few days
of the session had disclosed. there
was applause.
At the noon recess the reading had
been little more than half finished.
1t was resumed at 2 o'clock. and
exactly at half past four the reading
clerk finished Section 155: Whereas
the early operation of this act is re-
quired to preserve the public peace,
health and safety. an emergency is
hereby declared to exist. and this act
shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and approval
by the governor and is hereby ex-
empted from the operation Of the
referendum provisions of the consti-
tuition of Arizona"
Usually in the reading of long
bin, it is difficult to maintain a duor-
um, but throughout the greater part
of the two sessions a. majority of the
members were in their seats or In
the chamber. Only once was atten-
ton called to the non attendance OF
members. That was late in the after
noon with less than a dozen sections
to be read when Representative Hays
moved for an adjournment until 10
o'clock this morning. There was no
second and the reading was ordered
| to be resumed whereupon Mr.. Hays
remarked: Il only wanted to break
up that crap. game in the corner"
Not A Crap Game
1t was not a crap game, but group
Of gentlemen engag ged in serious con-
yersation, giving no attention TO the
reading
The roll call developed a series of
statements by opponents of the fl
nancial code, all of whom endorsed
the principle of the measure. Mr..
Barry of Gila county was against it
/ only because of the influences in sup
port of it. Miss Boeiringer could not
endorse a measure which she believed
did not contain adequate provision
for the schools. Mrs. Bush declared
that she must vote against it because
no opportunity had been given for
/ the consideration Of the amendments
offered on Tuesday. Other statements
explanatory of negative votes We're
offered by Messrs. Mccullough and
Burk.
The following is the result Of the
roll call:
Ayes-Barkell, Baxter. Cobbe. Cur
