THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
An Extensive and Exhaustive Public Docr
ment Submitted to the Legislature.

An Extensive and Exhaustive Public Docu
ment submitted to the Legislature.
The message of the Governor as
read before the assembled Legis,
lators consists of about 10000
words, too long for complete pub
LEGATION. We therefore give but a
synopsis of its contents.
He predicts that Ariz ona will
soon be recognizaed as a great
mineral producing state and will
be a grsat state. having all the ele-
ments in forests, minerals of all
kinds, agriculture, horticulture and
stock raising. He thinks highly
of our legislators and that they
will leglslate to the best interest of
the Territory'and depreciates hasty
legislation.
In the enactment Of laws he
counsels. the consideration Of the
cost of executing them; and that
no partisan motive should control
the deliberations of the Legislature.
He points to the increased output
of our mines, our increased stock
and agricultural interests as evi.
dence that Arizona has not suffer,
ed severely from the depression OF
the past year.
| He advises that no legislation be
enacted that will keep much need
ed capital out of the Territory and
directs attention to our millions OF
acres of arabic lands yet undevel.
oped; to our mining and other in
T dustries, all demanding capital fol-
their further development. (
He directs especial attention to
the public demand for economy al
this time and recommends proper
provisions for the maintenance o
our various institutions.
The population of the Territory
is put at l01 900; the valuation o
taxable property shown by the
records of the Board of Equaliza
ticn for the past year is S26,047,
, l76.40; something over s500,00(
, increase on the preceding year
. He considers this about one-thirt
the actual property value in tn
. Territory.
He recommends that corpora
tons be compelled to make prope
returns on property in return TO
special privileges granted them b.
! the Territory, but in fair ant
!. equitable manner.

CIRCUIT COURT BILL.

1t is quite probable that circuit
court bill will be passed by me
present legislature, according 10
information that comes from
Phoenix.
In passing such a measure care
sbould be exercised that the ex-
pcnses of the people are not in
creased thereby. An examination
of the two bills, one in the house,
introduced Mr.. Chalmers, and an
other in the council, introduced by
Mr. Ming, shows that in the mat
ter of expense the Ming bill is much
preferable. 1t provides that the
Offices of district clerk, OF probate
clerk and county school superin,
tendent shall be consolidated and
the duties performed alta liked saia'
nv according to the class Of the
county, and that all fees earned in
such capacity shall be turned into
the county treasury. This salary
in Graham county is fixed at $1,000
per year, with power in the board
of supervisors to allow for deputy
or clerk hire not to exceed S5o'
per year. The aggregate compen
sation of tho offices heretofore has
amounted to from $4,000 to s2So(
per year and the saving by this
consolidation in Graham county
will amount to $500 per year, OF
more. The saving in other count
les. ella and Plnal, of this circuit
will amount TO as much more, max
ing in all a saving of $4,000. AID
ding to this the sum of $500 now
paid by the territory to district
Judges each year and we have
$1,000 to meet the expenses OF q
circuit judge. As his compensa
ton is fixed by the bill at $1,000
per year, in each circuit there will
be an actual saving of something
like 5000 per year under the Ming
bill. Besides making saving in
the amount annually paid out to
officials the people will have here.
after the advantage of electing their
own judges who preside at the trial
courts and can give their entire
time to cases arising within their
circuits under territorial laws.
The circuits will embrace the same
counties as the districts now do.
If circuit courts are to be cstab-
lished, the Ming bill is the one that
should be passed, in the interest Of
economy as the people are justly
opposed to an increase of their
burdens in compensation paid to
officials.
The provision that the compen'
sation of the circuit judges shall be
paid out of the territorial treasury
instead of out of the county treas
uries, Is just and proper.

told that the only appointment he
asked for in the house was that OF
