CHILD LABOR.
AMENDMENT IS.
WARNEST ISSUE.
BEFORE SOLONS.
(By Katharine jones'

lature is friendly enmity, and fair.
The democrats have publicly smashed
a precedent established by the repub-
licans, to the latter's satisfaction.
Once upon a time the G.. 0. P. reign
ed supreme in the law-making sane
tums, when it was decreed that the
minority party members could make
no appointments. But times changed,
and the sin of the fathers was visit
ed upon the children, even unto the
Sixth Legislature. Now all is we'll,
the petty strife is ended and all the
energy may be expended in fighting
for the vital issues, in settling the big
questions. Which is being done, con-
tention has started out at good
speed, the throttle wide open.
Saturday, Senator Cox introduced
into the senate bill for the enactment
of depositors guaranty law, which
if passed, will be of paramount i'm
portance to the public.
Senator Bob" Moore is chairman
of the committee on suffrage and cleo
tions, and also serves on the following
ways, and bridges, agriculture and
1OIGSLIy, 1dUOI duu Capital,
lands and municipalities.
Representative Freeman acts on the
livestock, public lands, agriculture and
irrigation and good roads committees.
With such wise assignments as these
and others this legislature should
merit the name "The Solid Seventh"
which was the hope expressed by
President Winsor in his remarks to

Our leisure moments have been fill
ed with greetings from various bright
and shining lights from the home
town, viz:
The Joint legislature committee OF
the four transportation brotherhoOds
paid it's respects to the governor and
other officials, and also met with the
senate committee on labor and capital.
For this meeting they were invited
into the senate chamber by the presi-
dent of the senate Messrs. G. w.
Nelson, r. E. Keeney, ]. D. Wiley and
M. J. Phares were the Winslow men.

Which reminds us, we understand
Jay Phares spent some time in Phoe-
nix purchasing furniture for his hope

ed at the recent Methodist school con-

smilingly to Winslow were: Mrs.

Lillian S. Proctor, and Mrs. Lloyd
day. Rev. Enyeart, formerly of Wins
low, now of Douglas, was also a re-
,cipient.
Mr.. J. B. McNaughton of Winslow
and Holbrook, visited the capitol on
mining and oil business for the north,
interviewing the governor, the federal
judge and other officials. Mr.. Nc
Naughton knew Governor Hunt in the
days when he occupied space in
grocery store instead of the state
house. He also bought candy for the
dignified Wayne Hubbs, custodian of
the state cash, when he was a mere
child-so the renewing of old friend
ships was pleasure.
Hon. Bob Walton, one of those In
fernal Revenue men, was down on
his Eternal Revenue business.
Mr. w. F. Martens almost Ritzed us,
but we objected. Knowing that a
division foreman for the A. T. & S. F.
has much on his mind besides the
manufacturing of state laws-we did
not blame him.
Here's a laugh credited to Senator
Favour of Prescott. Whether he is
the lawyer referred to or merely the
originator of the joke we can't tell
A gentleman arriving in one of our
western cities met an aged man and
enquired if he was acquainted in the
city. Il low 1 am. Lived here fifty
years." he replied. The stranger then
asked him if they had such a thing
as a criminal lawyer in the little
city. oval, yes, think we have, but
so far we amt been able to prove
it on him." was the answer.
Despite the unfavorable report on
the ratification of the federal child
labor amendment brought in by the
majority of the committee on public
health and statistics, the house went
on record Monday, as being over
whelmingly in favor of the measure.
Two reports were submitted by the
committee. The majority report was
against the resolution granting con-
gresS the power to regulate the en-
ployment of children under the age of

Patton, Boehmer, Boville and McCor-
mick. The minority report favoring

Representative Jones moved that the
measure do pass. In compliance with
the new rule that roll call not be had
in committee of the whole, a viva voce
vote was taken, which showed a strong
majority in favor of the resolution.
Those against it will have an oppor-
tunity to voice their protest when the
