 Also the following message.
 Hon. NJ. H. Calderwood, Speaker of the House of Representatives
 I herewith return without my ap- proval an Act authorizing a loan on the faith and credit of the Territory and to provide for the construction of a wagon road from Phenix Tn Marico- pa county to Globe City in Pinal coun- ty, for the following reasons:
 In my late message to the Legisla- tive Assembly, mentioned the neces- sity of the construction of wagon roads in various parts of the Territory, and suggested the proprIety of memorial izing Congress to grant appropriations for that purpose, but did not believe then nor do I believe now, that the people of the Territory are able to bear the burden of taxation requisite to car " on extensive internal improvements. And should approve this bill, I could not with consistency withhold my sig nature from large number of equally meritorious enterprises, should they come before me for approval.
 The object of this appropriation is to build wagon road with Territorial funds, the location of which is nearly all in one county, while other counties of the Territory are building or prepar- ing to build like roads by subscription or county taxation. Should this bill become a law, such counties would not only be called upon to contribute the means to construct equally costly roads at their own expense, but at the same time would be compelled to bear their proportion of the expense of building this local road. I cannot believe that the people would accept this proposi- ton as just and far.
 If the financial condition of the Ter ritory was such that all the necessary rO.as UONld he built by appropriations from the general fund, then l would with pleasure approve this bill. But it is plain if such a course was pursued, oppressive taxation must of necessity follow, which would finally culminate Tn bankruptcy and ruin. The financial solvency and excellent credit of Ari- zona, IS a subject of pride to all our citizens. This condition of affairs has been maintained by strict economy and prudence; to adopt a doubtful pol icy such as this bill presents, cannot prove otherwise than disastrous to the industries of the country. p K SAFFORD GOvernOr
