crowded with interested AUDITORS
and spectators, and the sessions
have been long.
Monday the Davis memorial on
the Colorado river was presented
as amended by the select commit
tee. Briefly, it is against the es-
tablishment of any permanent wa
ter rights by Mexico, which might
be the result of it's use of the tenn
porary flow into Mexico. A flVe-
minute morning session in the SEN
ate broke all records for brevlty, as
no legal action could be taken and
committee work demanded the time.
The house observed the holiday IN
honor of George Washington, out
assiduous action is the watchword
of the senators.

Dick Wick Hall, humorist OF
Saturday Evening Post fame, ana
editor of the Salome Sun, communl-
Gated with the senate through
strictly business-like dissertation
upon the attempts to secure the
construction of a bridge across the
Colorado river at Ehrenburg and
the Improvement of the road from
Phoenix to Wickenburg through
Salome to the bridge. The state
ment that the road would cost IN
the neighborhood of one-half to one
million dollars was declared ab-
surd. and Mr.. Hall stated that the
people would be highly grateful
for a good dirt road involving an
expenditure of from $125,OOO to
SI5O,O 900, which would nicely ac-
commodate Fords. Because all
people can't ride in Rolls-Royce
cars is no reason why they should
walk. Because all people cant
have tailor made suits is no reason
why they should walk around
naked" was the writer's argument.
Two bills were passed, the first
by narrow margin, namely, the
bill segregating the deaf and blind
school from the university, and
that regulating the practice OF op-
tometry.
A new bill was introduced in the
house providing a method of re-
funding loans made by the state
applying particularly to the loans
made on land under the Lyman
dam.
Wednesday the Colorado river
was in turmoil in the house. The
result was mostly unpleasant re-
partee. The Davis memorial relat-
ing to the rights of Mexico, was
adopted in the senate. Senator
Moore's presidential preferential
primary bAl was passed without a
dissenting vote in the senate. Sen
ator Davis introduced another reso-
luton calling for a conference be-
tween Arizona, California and Ne
vada regarding the waters OF the
Colorado, river.
House bill No. 102 was presented
to the senate with an amendment
providing for the increase OF pay
for county officers of counties OF
the first class, or those having an
assessed valuation of more than
$500, 100000 and population OF
more than $4,000. Governor Hunt
signed the senate bill providing for
the deportation of alien public
charges, and because of the emer-
gency clause, the bill is now a full
fledged law.
Thursday the house passed two
bills, one prohibiting the killing OF
game birds and animals within one
and one-half miles of an incorpor-
ated town, the other providing tor
the annual inspection of state loans
and requiring county treasurers tC
