(From the Miami Silver Belt)
A casting up of the work of the
recessed session of the Eighth state
legislature shows that the net results
were the overriding of the governor
veto on five measures passed
at the regular session, the sus-
tanning of his veto of six bills, and the
passage of thirteen bills that were
either new or were selected from
measures that failed to pass both
houses in the regular session.
The Sustained Vetoes
The bills on which the governor
vetoes were sustained follow: H. B.
122, the proposed game code; S. b.
81, diminishing the time required for
advertising bonds Of irrigation dis
tricts. and providing for their sale
privately; H. B. 127, the highway COM
mission bill; S. B. 1870, abolishing the
Huachuoa State Game Refuge; H. B..
70, the ''snooper" BILL appropriating
100000 for a legislative examiner OF
state offices and departments H. B..
129, abolishing continuing appro-
priation to match federal aid for the
office of superintendent of voca-
tional education.
Failure of the legislature to over
ride the veto of the governor on the
foregoing bills prevented any of them
from becoming laws.
Vetoes Overriden
The legislature voted to override
the executive veto on the following:
H. B. so, establishing a colony for
mentally defective children on the
grounds of the State Teachers Col
Iege at Tempe; H B. so, authoriz-
ing the organization of county mutual
fire insurance companies, the farmers
insurance bill; H. B. rs, the abolish
ing of the office of state registrar OF
motor vehicles, administered by the
secretary of state; H. B. Ill, appro-
priating approximately $4,000 for the
relief of Smart, Gore & Co.; H. B.
85, amending the landlords lien bill
to provide for the termination OF
leases on the death or bankruptcy Of
the lessor.
By overriding the veto of the gov
ernor, all of the foregoing became
laws.
II Is U0luS lISOIy lOu1OSOO pAAe]C liz
referendum will be invoked against
three of these measures, namely; the
children's colony bill; the motor We
hicle registration bill; and the relief
bill for Smart, Gore & Co.
Citizens of Tempe, particularly, are
reported to object to the location OF
the school for mental detectives on
the grounds of the Teachers College.
Friends of Secretary of State James
H. Kerby are indignant and recon-
mending a referendum on the bill abol-
ishing the motor vehicle registration
office, which they regard as political
measure. Opponents of the Smart
Gore bill were legion. Their resent
ment at the passage of the relief mea-
sure has been intensified by persistent
reports that bribery was resorted to,
attempted at least, in order to accom-
plish it's passage.
n. 3. 1873
Of the several new bills, it was not
indicated that the governor would
veto any of them. New legislation
placed on the governors desk as a
result of the recessed session included
H. B. 1913, appropriating $4,000 for
the relief of Mrs. Rose Bush, whose
daughter was taken i'll at Tempe
Teachers College in April, 1926, and
who died in the Mesa hospital short
ly afterwards
This measure was voted on unta-
vorably in committee of the whole OF
the senate, but was passed when it
came up for final reading.
II. B. 16
H. B. 16, appropriates $4,560 to pay
the personnel of the National Guard
of Arizona for 1926.
S. B. 90
s. B. 90 amends the water code to
provide that mo permit shall be
granted to any applicant to build or
construct any dam for the generation
of hydro-electric energy or power on
anv of the streams Within the state
of Arizona where hydro-electrlc pow
er proposed to be generated is III eX-
cess of %, 900 horsepower without the
consent by an act of the legislature
of the state of Arizona.
The measure is intended as further
protection of the interests OF Arizona
in the Colorado river. Under the
former statutes the state water COM
missioner had practically unlimited
powers in the granting of applications
for hydro electric plants. In fact the
law made it mandatory upon him to
issue licenses where the applicant had
complied with the requirements of the
statutes.
n. B. 1911
H. B. 1871 changes the law govern
ing the issuance of bonds of special
Improvement districts where street
betterments are contemplated. 1t is
designed to permit of the paving of
sections of East Van Buren, street,
Phoenix, with particular reference to
two blocks upon which the federal
postoffice and the water users asso-
citation buildings front, against which
property no assessments for paving
can be levied by law
n. B. So
H. B. 81 is a drastic measure pro-
