Gentlemen Of the Legislature:
Il is my constitutional duty 20
. communicate by message TO the leg
islature. at each regular session, in
formation concerning the condition oil
the state, and recommend such meas
ures As may be deemed eXpedienJ.
General Condition of the State.
Population.
The condition OF the state is sat
isfactory. The last United States
census report shows that the pOpU,8-
ton has Increased 35.5 per cent for
the preceding ten years. showing
greater increase than in any OtIe-
states except North Dakota, OkIaho-
ma, Idaho, Washington, Texas and
Montana.
lIliteracy.
The illiterates of the state are less
than in any state from Louisiana to
Virginia. Comparisons with Othe-
states were not made. They are 1a-
cFeasing at a greater rate than prob
ably in any other state.
Health.
The stale census report shows the
deatl rate in the state 10 be 90 10 each
1000 In the registration area OF
the United States representing the
New England states. New York New
Jersey, Delaware and the District Of
Columbus it is 17.S.
General Progress.
We are now producing more than
one-half of the phosphate OF the United
States. and more than one-thiTd of the
phosphate of the world. We are pro
<ducing more than One-nalf of the
naval stores of the United States. We
are accomplishing satisfactory and
increasing results in agriculture, nor
ticulture, manufacturing, and in fish
cries in mining. in commerce in
hygiene, in education, in banking, ill
transportation. religion, politics, and
climate. In the products of the field,
farm. forest and fireside.
Railroad Commission.
The necessity and Importance OF
appropriations to be expended investi-
eating the books and papers Of the
railroads, common carriers and eX-
press companies is shown at length in
the reort of the Railroad Commits
sion.
The following recommendations Of
the Railroad Commission are concur
red in: A valid law requiring SeGa-
rate passenger coaches for white ana
negro passengers - low empOw-
ering the commissioners to prescribe
Joint rates for railroads and water
carriers" A law making penalties
imposed by ;he commissioners liens
on the property of the carrier. until
they are paid, or until they are deter
mined in favor of the carrier The
object of this is that, in case a rail-
road should 90 into the hands Of
receiver. the penalties may be pre-
served. A law making the powers
of the commission in some instances
more specific" thereby saving Ia "
suits.
There IS no good reason why teie-
graph companies should not. be placed
under the operation Of the railroad
commission.

EARLIER CLOSING
 OF PHOENIX MAIL
An Effort Being Made to Have An othsr Mai. Put On a Later Train.

The attention of tnc advertisers in this department of The Republican and others is oa'led tD a condition that arises through the change in time on the railroads which went into effect yesterday. From that date on. for the present at least, the Tempe copy" must be prepared and at the postoffice at 2:45 in the aft ernoon, instead of 4:20. as has been the case for some time past. The last mail to Phoenix in the day closes at that hour. Advertisers and those having news items will please bear this fact in mind and conduct them selves accordingly.
 An effort is being made to have another mail dispatched to Phoenix on the later train which runs about the time of the old Kelvin train. The last mail to Phoenix in the day being made up at such an early hour in the afternoon, makes 1t rather inconven- tent for many on this side of the riv- CT. and it is to be hoped that the change may be effected. The matter will probably be taken up with Chief Clerk Moore of the railway mail serv- ice. but until he takes some action, the matter stands as it is now
