BY II. r. Tatarian


United Press Staff Correspondent
The 18th state legislature, well
past the halfway mark in its cur
rent 60-day session, has increased
its tempo of operation and began
speeding consideration of huge
number of bills already in COM
mittee.
Both houses have started to
hold afternoon sessions, abandon
ing the leisurely one-session-a-day
schedule they followed during the
opening weeks.
Since the legislature convened
Jan. 13, more than 300 bills, reso-
lutions, and memorials have been
introduced in both houses Only
about 10 per cent of these have
seen final action and the law
makers have a tremendous task
ahead of them if they are to con-
slider not only the bills already in
but those that will continue to
come in from day to day until
sine die adjournment.
Action of either house has been
marked by the notable absence of
anything definite on the import
ant governmental reorganization
bills introduced by Gov. Sidney
p Osborn.
About a dozen of the ii legisla-
tive proposals made by the COVER
nor in his message to the law
makers already are in committee.
But the most important bill and
the one most eagerly awaited-the
measure to give the governor
authority to reorganize the govern
ment by decree-is still to come.
Just when the governor will pop
this all-important measure is q
moot question, but it is believed
that he is awaiting some show
down vote in the legislature, some
thing to show which way the wind
is blowing, before he permits its
introduction.
In this respect, it is significant
that there has not as yet been
single issue in either house that
has brought about a clear-cut pic
ture of the administration and non
administration alignment. True
enough, there have been votes on
questions of rules and procedure
in the lower house that might be
said to reflect sentiment.
But there has not been action on
anything which had the open sup
port of the governor and could be
said to be a test of his strength.
The house has passed the gov
ernor's bill to place the admin
istration of the state hospital un-
der a non-political board, but that
could hardly be termed "test of
strength" inasmuch as the same
measure passed in the 14th session
but was vetoed by the then-Gover-
nor R. T. Jones.
Observers await action on some
important measure such as the
governors proposed agricultural
department or water and power
bill to find just how much strength
he can command.
Obviously, if the governor finds
he cannot command a majority, he
may decide against introducing his
decree-reorganization bill entirely.
Action of the legislature during
the past week was highlighted by
introduction Of the long-awaited
bill proposing a depletion tax on
mines.
1t is not the first time that such
bill has appeared in Arizona and
it is no secret that powerful in
fluences are already busy to see
that it is defeated.
Introduced by Rep. Louise Moore
of Maricopa county, the bill pro-
poses to compensate the state for
permanent depletion of it's
minerals by collecting each month
one per cent of the first $4,000

State Lawmakers Speed Tempo

worth Of metals handled by each
mine, and levy of five per cent
on the amount by which the gross
value exceeds $4,000.
Persons interested in this bill
estimated that 1t will net the state
more than s3,O00,O00 yearly and
make possible a corresponding re-
duction in the total funds to be
raised by ad valorem taxation.
Among the bills passed by the
house this week was one setting
state speed limit of 65 miles an
hour and prescribing new rules
and regulations for automobile
traffic in school land business
zones as well as ON the open high
way.
National defense preparations
and fifth column" scares had
their effects in the house during
the week with introduction of a
comprehensive Sabotage preven-
ton" act setting forth penalties
for persons hampering national de-
fense developments in the state of
Arizona.
In the same general line of de-
velopments, there came, also In
the house, a pair of administration
approved bills calling for setting
up of military reserve or home
guard to police the state when the
national guard is in active federal
service, and the other measure
setting up civilian body to meet
emergencies or other disasters OF
non military nature.
