The Winslow mail. (Winslow, Ariz.) 1893-1926, 1925-03-13


a half for overtime work, they'd
he prosperous, but if paid for piece
(peace) work they might starve.
Seriously, though, they are putting
forth every ounce of energy, intel
lect and eloquence for the solution
of the problems before them. Even
as a crossword puzzle (without the
implication concerning cross words)
a tournament of wits for a common
victory.
The cement plant bill, by Senator
=. Moore, for the erection of a cement
plant at Florence for the conserva-
ton of the states moneys and the
utilization and improvement of pris-
on labor, occupied a conspicuous
place on the calendar of the COM
mittee of the whole Tuesday. His
own defense of it, clear-cut and
pertinent, appears elsewhere in this
issue of The Winslow Mail.
Monday, by vote of 10 to 8, the
Senate passed the Cox banking bill
for the protection of depositors.
And of course there's the Colo
RADIO river compact. Tuesday Sen
ator Golfer introduced a resolution
entitled in part: "The Wisener-
Macmillan Heard supplemental
camouflage compact, passed by the
lower house, attempts the absurdity
of dividing the water given the
five lower basin states under the
compact by an agreement between
the three lower basin states Of Cali
fornia, Nevada and Arizona, in
house concurrent resolution No. l,
STIMULATING what Arizona's rights
are now in the Colorado river. This
tri-state compact destroys Ari-
zona's speedy, economical legal de-
velopment of the Colorado river. "
Wednesday also was devoted to
the Colorado river debate, and the
session lasted until 10 p. m. Sena-
tor st. Charles resolution for the
unconditional ratification of the
Colorado compact, was the main
consideration. He spoke very brief
ly and simply in support of it, fol-
lowed by a long, vehement attack
upon the compact by Mr.. Golfer.
The senator from Apache made the
earnest declaration that he would
lay down his life for the cause, but
the resulting tension was broken by
the effect that he would devote his
life to the cause of the compact,
but that it was his earnest desire
to live to reap the benefits there
from.
Senator Winsor's address in sup
port of the resolution was cOmpre-
hensive and held the attention of
both the sympathetic and unsympa-
thetic listeners. The st. Charles
resolution failed, however, by a
vote of eleven nays and seven ayes.
1t is thought that some compromise
will eliminate and alleviate the
situation. An amendment to house
concurrent resolution No. 1 was of
fered Thursday by Senator Winsor
as a step toward this.
Two workmen's compensation
bills are before the Legislature.
One represents an attempt to enact
a law complying with the state con-
stitution, and the other copy of
the Cureton bill passed by the fifth
legislature, later declared uncon-
, stitutional, carrying with it a sup
Elemental bill providing for the
necessary changes to the constitu-
ton to conform to the bill, or vice
versa. The latter, H. B. 2O4, was
approved by the house committee
of the whole Saturday.
Mr.. Jones of Cochise, a member
of a railway brotherhood, proposed
an amendment to the title before
passage, but it failed.
Saturday was an eventful day for
the normal schools of the state
Governor Hunt, witnessed by rep
resentation from the Tempe Normal
student body, DR.. Matthews, the
president; Mr.. Case, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, and
Mrs. H. D. Ross, member of the
school board, placed his signature
uLon house bill No. 116, which
converts the two normals into four
year teachers colleges, with de-
