PHOENIX, March z (P.-While the
senate of the dying eighth legislature
spent all morning debating over the
vetoed Favour Yavapai, code revision
bill and all afternoon arguing the mer-
its and demerits Of the highway depart
ment reorganization measure, the
house prepared to weight down the
senate calendar tomorrow by passing
the general appropriation BILL
1t was not without drastic revision
in one respect that the potential draw
ing account of the various state insti-
tutions and executive departments re-
ceived the approval of the majority of
the representatives. AS drawn, the
bill carried the emergency clause, maxi
ing it effective Immediately upon sig
nature by the governor and exempting
it from the referendum provisions OF
the state constitution. A two-thirds
vote was required, therefore, to pass it.
Rallying 21 members of the house to
their defense, the administration mem
bers, who Saturday waged determin-
ed but futile fight to amend the var
ious sub-sections of the bill and revise
the appropriation figures upward, sue
ceeded in blocking it's passage Twen-
ty-seven ayes responded to the roll
call.
Before the vote was announced, Rep
resentatives Murphy, Gila, and Brooke,
Yvaapai, both members of the appro-
priations committee, which framed the
BILL changed their affirmative votes
to nay, and the former moved for an
immediate reconsideration. The mo-
tion carried, 80 to 10. Murphy then
moved that the bill be referred to the
committee on enrolling and engrossing
and when it emerged 10 minutes later,
the emergency clause had been clipped
off.
Twenty minutes more were required
for the final re-reading and on the
second roll call, the proponents of the
measure picked up three more votes,
those cast by Wisener, Yuma; Coxon,
Cochise, and Norton, Maricopa.
The negative vote follows:
Abell Cochise; Decker, Maricopa;
Gibbs, Maricopa Hamblin, Apache;
Holum, Maricopa; Ivy, Maricopa; Ken
nedy, Pima; Kent, Gila; Ludden Mari
copa; Lynch, Greenlee; Mahon, Mari
copa; Morgan, Pima; McBrayer, Mari
copa; Mckee, Maricopa; Newton, Mar
icopa; DID, Pima; Walker, Santa Cruz,
and Williams, Graham.
Dissatisfaction with certain sections
of the bill was expressed by Gibbs,
Holub and Representative Walker in
explaining their votes on the first roll
call. No general censure of the bill
was written into the house journal.
AS the bill goes to the senate it car
ries a total appropriation for the ex-
ecutive departments and the state in
stitutions of $4,4S7,3S2.16, exclusive of
$2S1360 for the common schools,
raised through the $25 per capita tax
levy. This s,some $4,000 more than
! was provided in the original bill as it
came out of the fathering committee,

Tents Receive Names

Rival of The Dispatch
Discovered in Vicinity

No longer may the Douglas Daily
Dispatch lay claim to being the ''neces-
sary' paper, for it's rival has been dis
covered in the vicinity. Fortunately
for the success of the Dispatch it's
competitor publishes for only a short
season each year. But for that time
and in it's locality pine Echoes" of
Cave creek has no equal. Never was
paper greeted as enthusiastically as
are the various issues of pine Echoes"
as they are read each night by the
campfire of the Y. w. c. A. girls camp
at cave creek.
With news written by the youngest
of cub reporters" assembled by others
equally young, edited by the young

campers themselves (with a counselor S
censor of what might bring libel suits
in the form of q sudden ducking in the
creek), pine Echoes" tells the story
of the days events at camp. In addi-
ton to the news stories" there are
frequently poems and jokes, and great
skill is shown in bringing into prom
inence the private life" of the per-
sonages present.
Description is inadequate. Only ex-
cerpts can do justice to the various
issues, though of necessity these must
be brief:
Thrilling Escape
Miss Catherine Souers, of Pine Cone
tent, was a real little Miss Muffett
during rest hour today. Although the
curds and whey were not in sight the
spider was, and those who were not
asleep (and even those who were)
heard a blood-curdling shrek. The
wicked spider was killed by Miss
Martha HuXtable. She used GATHERINGS
comb to do the deed, so if C's hair is
tously you know why.
Strange Guests Entertained
A number of very queer looking
characters were to be seen at the
important people. Among those present
were noted a washwoman, two bath
ing beauties, a wizard, an Arab,
sailor, two "shieks' and number of
"hicks," gypsies, etc.
Anniversary Announced
We, the Kill Kare Cabiners, beg to
announce that tomorrow is the ami
versary of one weeks bobbed hair
after many years of tortuous and
lengthy curls. The lucky girl is Miss
Elizabeth Beumler. We wish she may
never have long curls again A suit
able celebration will probably be held
Details announced later
HOmOred
Members/of w. D. W. e. tent are
very much elated over winning the flag
for inspection of tents and campers
this morning. We owe much thanks
to our camp director for bestowing
some of her overflowing knowledge of
making beds, etc, upon us and making
the appearance of our tent so excellent.
The floor of the tent surpassed the
dampened down; our beds were made to
perfection and we assure the inspection
committee we will continue the good
work. AS q result of having won in
spection. w. d. w. E. held the flags
for morning flag salutes. Both the
official committee and the self
appointed one that followed at a dis
Greet distance made the award.
Gypsy Day Enjoyed
Practically the whole camp left this
morning soon after assembly with
sticks over their shoulders and on the
sticks were tied our lunches nicely
wrapped up in the bandana handker-
chief we have had so many uses for.
We certainly did look like a bunch of
gypsies as we hiked out over the hill.
After not very long hike we reached
a nice little creek and spring and there
we ate our lunches. After we ate we
sat around on the grass for a while for
rest hout while stories We're read
aloud. Then some of the older girls
and a counselor went on for longer
hike while the rest played games. Later
in the afternoon we came home and
