 SALARIES FOR OFFICERS. ''T'here are two other recommendations ] wish to make for your consideration. l More in the line of economical admins ! traitor. but equal in benefit to securing an increase Of revenue, l most heartily recommend that the office of sheriff in the several counties and justice of the peace, and constable in the several pre- cincts of counties in the territory, be made salaried offices, and that all fees De paid into the county treasury to the credit of the general fund. These salaries can be n1nde commensurate with the duties performed in each case, and l firmly believe that such a system inaug Urated in Arizona vii result in lasting good. |, each instance, to the county treasury. Making the office of sheriff a salaried instead of a fee office will, in addition to the aid given to the county in the increased revenues, tend much toward purifying elections.
 AM offices in this county, where pos sible both territorial and county. should be made salaried. and all fees turned into the territorial or county treasury, as the cas- may be- -,.,
 Along this same line, l earnestly recon- mend that the office of assessor in each county in the territory be made elective instead of appOintive, in order that each assessor shall be responsible to the cleo tors Of his county for the proper per forrnance of his duty.
 DIVISION OF COUNTIES INTO DIS Tn orier to further a more equitable ard just administration of public affairs. the puriHication oI elections, and more correct representation in the House of Representatives 1 cordially recommend the division Of counties into supervisor the product of mines to your careful consideration
 Speaking of the liberal corporation laws in AriZona, the Governor sees an op- =r,r,s.. l=a fhEo YOpn duCeF. Along this line the Governor re- comments as follows:
 "I earnestly recommend that the LeSis- lature enact a law that will require all corporations organizing under our laws to file their articles of incorporation with the Territorial Auditor before they are permitted Co do business. and that the Auditor shall have the same recorded in the office of the Secretary of the terri tory and that q reasonable Tee TOT nilhg such articles with the Auditor shall be established, and in addition thereto the amount necessary to cover the cost of recording such articles.
 'I would also recommend that when ever a corporation, by its articles, is au- thorized to have its office or offices out side of the Territory, the Territorial Auditor shall be made the resident agent of such corporation. upon whom may be served all processes with like affect as if served upon the proper officers of the corporation within the territory, and that. for the services of the Auditor as such agent a. reasonab.e yearly fee shall
 
 that the moneys received by the Auditor for filing the articles and acting as agent shall be turned into the territorial treas GTy without any expense to the territory. ''As nearly all the corporations which have been organized within the last few years in Arizona have been formed by nor-Fcsidents for the purpose of operat- ing outside of the territory. the burden Of the expense for the organization of corporations under such a law as recom- rnended herein would not fall upon our ow1 people. but upon citizens of other states and territories who avail them selves of our liberal laws to do business POLL TAX
 While upon the subject of taxation and revenue, it will not be anaiss that I suggest to the Legislature the necessity of establishing some unfailing method of collecting the tax known as the poll tax. ial districts for the election of members of the Board of Supervisors Ia member to be elected from the district in which a vacancy is to exisD into representative districts. in order that where a county is to be represented in the lower house of the Legislature by more than one member. said members shall be elected in their respective districts; and into vot- ing precincts. distinctly described as to boundaries, in order that the election law now upon the statute books may be prop
 JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
 It has been intimated to me that the greater number of cases coming before the courts of this territory are brought in the judicial district comprised in the border counties of the territory. viz: Co chise. Pima and Santa Cruz, forming tho First Judicial district.
 If such. upon examination, is found tc be a fact I would suggest, as a remedy that a TedistrictinG take place; that tht counties Of Pima. Santa Cruz and Pinal form one judicial district and that Cochise- Graham and Gila form another thus dividing between the two districts of our territory.
 The aboye suggestion is made in tn, interest of the cause of securing promp administration of justice.
 PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
 recommend that primary election law be enacted by this Legislature, anC suggest that such a law should pre- scribe that the primaries of all politica parties in.the territory desiring to plac, candidates in the field at any electioI shall De held at the same place and or the same day. The benefits to com' from such.a law can easily be seen.
 EIGHT-HOCR LAW
 In all probability at this session of tn, Legisla ture. the question of eight hour labor law will come up for consid cration and discussion. and I would re specfully suggest that fair and i'm partial view of the subject be taken: tha consideration be given to the effect O the same upon the mining industry O the territory, as well as upon the labo interests. remembering that such law are sometimes two-edged and may. improperly fremed. or made too far reaching iH effect, do damage instead O good to the. interests of those for who's benefit they have been framed and pass ed. < careful study of the lffect . laws of similar import. where foun6 {: operation in other states and territories is cordially recommended -sNould suc matter of legislation come before you honora b4e bodies.
