Preliminary action on code revision
which was accomplished last week.
probably has paved the way for an
other special session and many out-of-
town solons left their copies of session
laws and measures introduced at this
legislature in their desks.

charges threw parliamentary proceed
ure to the winds in the demands for
amendments or roll calls on motions
to recess or adjourn "sine die"
When the gavels of President Null
ford Winsor in the senate, and Hilliard
T. Brooke, speaker pro tenn of the
house, rang out "finiS'' of the special

felt the sharp edge of the houses mega
tive action was the senate measure
appropriating an additional 100000 to
the expense fund of the Arizona Colo
RADIO river commission. Appropria-
ton clauses were stricken from the

The bill places the status of alb
sentee voters at school elections, city
elections and other types of public
elections on the same basis as absentee
voters at the state and general cleo
tions.
Despite the collapse of all factional
fences, the temper of the house as q
whole was predominantly against more
appropriations, and one after another
of the bills went crashing down under
the houses ruthless ak.
Governor Hunt failed to get an addi-
tional $500 for his contingent fund
He asked $4,000, the senate gave hin
$500, and the house killed the bill.
The Colorado river commission must

the state prison received nothing.
The senate appropriation of $12,50(
for electric and refrigerating plant
was indefinitely postponed in the hous
without roll call.
The medical examiners bill finall
passed with the 35 required affirma
tive votes, carrying $500, instead o
