 "The common sch pol system cf Ari zona is the best iD the United States, even if Ariz1ns is only territory said Delegate Marcus A. Smith at the Occidental, who h represented that territory for twenty years consecu- lively.
 "Our system ia compulsory, and l think it is wise one. It is wise for the reason that the intelligent citizen will not be offended by law compeIi ing him to educate his children, and the careless, improvident parent might let his children lose the opportunit, afforded by the territory.
 "As a matter of pride we pay our teachers well, and so we get the bet Statistics show Arizona has propor tionately less illiteracy among whit people than any other state or ter i. tory. We pay the highest school tax and give greater attention 10 the .ech- nical part oi school matters than some of our proudest old states.
 The great drawback to settlement that every territory has had, is that people are timid about settling in , territory preiering to live in state
 "We have something that few people have heard about. We have wh | called dry farming This does no mean that we can rsis9 crop without water, out the seasons being generally dry, the farmer chooses a product tha can sprout, grow and mature in givei time, and the dry farmer gets m hi work in the rainy season.
 But the time will come when W will have all the rain we want Tn solution of this problem rests wit the agricultural and meteorogical de psrtment of the goyornmont.

The city eiec- ton campaign al Bisbee and Douglas showed conclusively that the effort to warm up en- thusiasm on 4he subject fell flat.

This is what Smith said:
 "Mr. Speaker: The bill before the house r-minds me oi pe.sonsl ex- peFience which happened many years ago. As came up from old Mexico into southeasteTn Arizons 10 the early. 9lngero5s pioneer days, I saw e Hsn hanging by the neck to limb oi "a :rer rode across to zee the corpse an1 IsaE plscsrd pinned on bic back D which wss written very plainly these words: This was a very bad ms2 n -one respects, but A dSmnd sight verse in others.
