Description
This is an original proceeding in this court, initiated by Honorable Harold C. Giss, a member of the Senate, and Honorable J. O. Grimes, a member of the House of Representatives of the Twenty-third Legislature of the State of Arizona. Petitioners seek a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel respondent Jewel W. Jordan, state auditor, to approve their claims as submitted and to draw her warrants therefor on the state treasurer, for the payment of certain sums claimed to be due them under the provisions of section 41-1103, A.R.S., for expenses incurred as legislators "for subsistence, incidentals, lodging and other expenses". The respondent questioned the constitutionality of the Act -- as it is construed by petitioners -- and has thrice refused to make the payments therein provided unless there were compliance with other statutory requirements, hereinafter set forth. Her last refusal was after the Governor of Arizona, acting under the provisions of section 41-141, A.R.S., had approved said claims. We assumed original jurisdiction and issued an alternative writ of mandamus.
