GOVERNOR CAMPBELL’S MESSAGE
Those who, largely for personal reasons, are opposed to Governor Camp
1/ell and would belittle him for lack of constructive statesmanship, can find
nothing to support their position in his able, clear-cut and broad-visioned
message to the legislature. He presents A well-considered and compre
hensive program which, if carried out, will advance the best interests of
the state. His utterances on law enforcement legislation are wise. He is
perfectly right in maintaining that there are already too many obsolete and
unenforceable laws upon the statute .books. Fewer laws, with rigid and ;
fearless enforcement of the same are needed.
The message gives light upon the school system and recommends reform.
The keynote of the message is education and economy in the expenditure
of public funds. Speaking of education the Governor said:
“I believe that the highest duty the state has to perform is to educate
its citizens. I believe that education is a national question, and should be so
directed, but. in the absence of national legislation, feel it the duty of the
state to direct and support the education of every school child within its
borders, providing, whenever and wherever possible, the same educational
opportunities. I further believe that the end can be accomplished with less !
expenditure of public funds than at present, and I earnestly request that
your honorable body give earnest consideration and positive action upon the
necessary legislation to come before you on this most vital matter.”
His views upon the labor question, road problem, highways and bridges,
school finance, teachers’ pensions and other legislative recommendations are
to be commended. Taken as a whole, Governor Campbell’s message is a
statesmanlike document which will win the commendation of the people
of Arizona. ,
HOUSING PROBLEM
No more serious problem confronts the people of this state than that of
supplying a sufficient number of houses to shelter those who are attracted
by the wonderful opportunities Arizona affords. Phoenix in particular, feels
the need of better housing conditions more than any city in the state for
the reason that a larger number of people come here.
We are our brother’s keeper, and it behooves us to provide for those who
come to this city. A $200,000 corporation has been formed by local men whose
object is to build cottages and apartments for the reception of newcomers.
This worthy enterprise sho'uld receive the wholehearted support of all the
people and we believe it will.
Another pressing need is a first class hotel for the accommodation of
transients. Altogether too many good citizens fail to locate in this valley
for no other reason than the fact that they are unable to secure a room for
several days. These people become disgusted and continue their journey to
California or some other place, when if given an opportunity to see the
wonders of the Salt River Valley, they would become permanent residents.
We have among us several men who are able to finance a hotel, and are
willing to give us such an enterprise, providing, they receive proper en- j
couragement from local citizens. They do not ask financial aid. but are wait
ing, merely for you to say that you want a hotel. The columns of the
Tribune are open to all who desire to express their views along this or
similar lines.
Success does not happen. It is the result of concerted, intelligent and
constant effort. In the great army of failures we find that most of them
depended on luck or chance to help them reach their goal. We admit that
there are circumstances over which one has no control, but for a young man
starting out in life to depend almost entirely upon luck or chance, is the
greatest folly. You must win your spurs by application! stamina, determina
tion, Integrity and down-right hard work.
Phoenix must and will have a Colored Men's Breach of the Y. M. C. A.
We can never hope to be a great race - of people until we learn to pave the
way for our posterity. If you want your boy to be a stalwart, ambitions
and well-rounded citizen, you must see to it that he receives the proper
training in his youth. A Young Men’s Christian Association will do the
work. Do you want one? Then get out and boost and work for it.
For the benefit of our readers we wish to state that the Tribune has
the largest circulation rating of any Race journal in the southwest. It
has received official recognition from several of the leading advertising
agencies in the east and two already have contracted for advertising space.
With your assistance, we hope to make the Tribune a great paper, and as
we progress, new and attractive features will be added. Don’t merely watch
us grow, but Induce your friends to subscribe for the paper and help us grow.
