Thirteenth Territorial Legislature ; The Thirteenth Arizona Territorial Legislature
In the year 1910, M. M. Rice, better known as " Mike " Rice, to his numerous Arizona friends, wrote the following account of the Session of the Thirteenth Legislature and incidents connected therewith. Rice was a brilliant newspaper man, and during the session was a reporter for the Prescott Courier. The results attained by what was afterwards designated as the "Bloody Thirteenth" and the "Thieving Thirteenth," brought rebuke from many in Arizona, because of its extravagance, but it must be said that this session did much which has since proved as greatly beneficial to Arizona. The Thirteenth Legislature passed the bill appropriating the first money for the Arizona University, at Tucson, and for the Arizona Insane Asylum. ; This item is part of the Arizona Agriculture and Rural Life, 1820-1945 collection.
