THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1921 PAGE THIRTEEN 3 I Governor's Message Read To Legislature (PontlmiM Krom T"U' Four) posted rtvlew of th actual neofis. th prrsslnj; dmianrt si mi fstimatpil needs of each inntltutlnn un.l department of ctate, tom-tluT with a complete an.vl of fund from nil sources tli.it will le available to meet th mate's ex penditures for tlip n't fiscal bknnlum. ('hanses nuiMt bo mado, however, that th purjWM for which th law was enacted tan b effectuated. The.-;e ro pet forth in ilctail In the report of the budget nr tct iry, whose :onstru: tlve i ritli i.sin will bo of aid in your consideration of this subject. j The Labor Question While there lmve een occasional! rurnblirip?) of discontent, tho past two years have been notnbly free from in dustrial trouble. Tho relations of em ploye and employer have been (satis factory, indicating; a jrrowinf; under standing of the rights and necessities of each. I Know' of no one thing more important, to the. development of the etate than the maintenance, of indus trial peace, tfuch a condition can best be established and its continuance as sured through the creation of an indus trial department under the direction of n Industrial commissioner. Tin 'f ficl.il must be a man of keen. under standing, nualiried by temperament and experience to deal with repre sentatives of both labor and capital,; and be, nM to apply not only the prin- lplcs of right and justice to the net-, tlcnient of dinputs, but adjust them without friction. It would be l.ta duty to safctruard labor and at the same time protect th industries of the state from unjust exactions and demands. Thta department could perform valu able Bcrvice in other ways by super vising the, distribution of labor, thus avoiding a congestion of unemployed In any one. district. With the growth of the state and its industries the need of such a department becomes dally more Important. The term of the commissioner nhould not be less than six years. I-ong- term service is pre ferable in that It develops consistent and experienced administration and provides against changes due to poli tical fluctuations. Abolish Rcaources Board Owing to limited appropriation, the Arizona resource board could not carry out ine oDjects for which it was ap luimru. iiiii ciicctive worK, upon limited money, was done, is amply evl- f cienced by the report of its activities now awaiting your Inspection. I feel that due to the Impossibility of making adequate financial provision commen stirate with tho m-ope and importance of its labor, it would be the expedient tnins to abolish this board and appro priate a like amount to be used under the direction of the executive for the furtherance of state and inter-state reclamation projects. An Impediment to Progress The constitutional provision limitine the amount of mate bonded indebted ness to $360,000 still stands as a bar rier to our advancement. This fact has been called 'to the attention of the leg islature by myself and my predecessor, but without result. The ex-service men, represented by the American Lpion, will appear before you and present their claims in the form of a land bllL My eupport and co-operation have been pledged to them, but pro mises will prove meaningless unless your body takes steps to remove the restriction referred to. Several large tracts of land In this state could be utilized to excellent advantage in grati fying the desire of these men for ' homes. Direct taxation would prove too burdensome in the financing of aueh an undertaking:, but with tne bonded debt limitation removed, a feasible plan, devoid of such objection, could be formulated. The Kourth state legislature enacted a soldiers settle ment act but its operation was con tingent upon congress adopting the Lane or tome bill of similar purport. As congress failed to do Its part, the Arizona law has served no other pur pose than to encumber the statute books. Although there is no direct, there certainly is an Implied obliga tion on the part f the utate of Arizona to reward in a substantial way the men whose valorous representation made possible the peace and blessings we njoy today. I would therefore urpe that your earnest consideration be given to thls recommendation. The Road Problem There Is a remarkable unanimity of sentiment existing as to the necessity of good roads but a wide divergence of opinion, however, as to whether the su pervisory authority, not only as to routes, but expenditures, should be ' vested in the state engineer, or a com mission. My views on the subject were plu-ed before the last legislature in the lollowing language: "1 would suggest that the fall con trol of our state highways be placed in the hands of a road commission con sisting of five persons serving without . t-ay. The term of office should be five years, the appointments being bo regu lates tnat there would be only one member of the board changed each year. This would insure permanency tit the commission and would free it from the possibility of having Its plans and organi.a.t Ion changed at each gubernatorial election. The commis , Honera should employ the state en ineer and have full authority over the Mate highway department, thus taking that appointment out of politics. The salary of the state engineer should be fixed at a figure Insuring the best road engineering talent available." ' tienate Bill No. 17, you will recall, was passed and banded to me for ap proval. The main features of the measure were good. Had there not een incorporated therein a provision diverting the executive of his preroga tive of appointment, but at the same time holding him responsible for the efficient conduct of the department, no hesitancy on my part would have been manifested In signing the bill It was then, and still is a source of regret to me, that the attitude assumed was that politics should outweigh the lcst interests of the s-tater All overtures nn mv Dart to secure constructive lef- HUtlon of this character wore ignored, nd I was compelled to veto a hill which, eliminating its one main and '1 . evrral minor objectionable features, A would have fat least given the oppor- ( tunity of putting it and the principle 1 Involved to the test.

There is an increasing realization that education is the con cern of the state primarily and .that it should bear a considerable share of the burden. Arizona's law for the distri bution of county funds is excellent in tnat it assumes the county is respon sible for the general maintenance of education, and not the local districts. The state in the past has assumed the same attitude to a certain extent but the discrepancy in the wealth of the various counties has combined with the Jack of a centralized state department referred to above, to prevent uniform ity of educational progress and oppor tunity. Furthermore, both state and county have conspicuously failed to as sume any financial responsibility for high school education, although state and county contribute to elementary school education, and the state bears tne entire burden of normal schools and university. Modern conditions demand a higher grade of preparation than formerly, and every child has a right to the equipment of at least a high school education. Because lt Is relatively much more expensive than elementary education, and the Individ are left to bear the burden alone, many . i.nuren, especially in rural communi uouea mis rignt. as a part or our rural school problem this condition must be remedied hv i.p-iio. tive action, increasing and equalizing iuc uibinouuon or state school funds; "u at tne same time, in return for increasea taxation, assuring high school opportunities where there is a hiph school need. Another phase of this question of providing surticient high school facil llics relates to the law creating union I.-., ouiuu! uituricis. Tiie present one ha proved vexatious and caused much iriction and dissension in operation in many instances it creates two dis tinct school systems, with duplicated auminisiration and expense; and stands iuarely in the way of the de velopment of a unified school svHtem from kindergarten through high school. inis.wnoie question of finance is lien up with that of the reorganization or trie state and countv school admin Istration.

In its general aspect the' advance ap peared largely of speculative origin. Special shares in whicn an extensive hort interest is believed to exist scored thj largest gains. Factors which again contributed to the advance included the increased strength of foreign exchange, albeit the British rate was somewhat extended o time funds, which were In more liberal supply than at any period In six months. Steels, shippings, equipment and spe cialties comprised the strongest issues, Crucible again leading the list at a gain of 9 points, or a fraction more than yesterday s advance. Otherwise gains of 2 to 5 point3 were impaired by realizing sales and the backwardness-, of rails, which at no time kept pace with the general market and closed for the most part at moderate recessions. Aside from some foreign municipal issues which enhanced recent ga'ns the bond market lacked definite trend many popular issues reacting with th Liberty group and convertible rails Total sales, par value, $12,675,000.

To An hi things we must think and act big things. We cannot for our o,n wel fare rlace ourselves in the pygmy class of thought or accomplishment. The future, therefore. future and the future of the people and the state is a sacred trust com mitted to our care. We can measure up to the grave responsibility by united endeavor, and animated by a desire to be of constructive service, not only to this but future generations. In this worth-while work of empire building we all can play a part. As your ex ecutive it has been my privilege to in itiate the Colorado river basin project. The impounding of the waters of this stream, which preliminary investiga tion proves to he feasible, will create millions of dollars of wealth for this and other states. With your support and co-operation I hope during the next two years to secure tangible re sults in the way of financial assistance from the federal government and see work commenced en the most gigantic undertaking1 of its Und in history. The ta.-k of the moment, however, is one of sane and constructive legisla tion, to which we must give the host within us.
