/ The railroads should give the state
( good rates on products out Of the state.
! so that we can place our leading pro-
8 ducts in the markets and help to de-
] velOp our resources. I do not want 70
see an arbitrary arraignment Of the
Z railroads merely because they are rail-
roads, but I want the rates so regu-
I lated that Arizona viii prosper. If a
I railroad line is of benefit to COM
munity and the tonnage is not yet de-
VelOped sufficient to make il pay at
a very low rate, the rate should be
equitable to all. If the tonnage is heaV-
Z Ter on another line, the rate should not
be so high. Business and general con-
ditiOns should regulate these things
Square Deals Free School Books.
Il have every faith in the people Of
Arizona, or the people anywhere. In
the final analysis, the American people
believe in a square deal That is their
basic principle. Outside the American
people, there is no such thing as jus
tice. The American people are not
nearly so radical as are the people in
pensions and many other innovations
over there.
I'VE have a compulsory educational
law in Arizona and I believe that the
state should supply the school books
free Of charge, on the principle that
the more education we have the less
crime there IS. and that to reduce
crime, It is worth paying for.
Il want to develop all the resources
Of Arizona and I am optimistic enough
to believe that we are now taking the
first step towards the millennium in a
modified form in this state. The
American people everywhere are get
ting better; there is a better feeling
for fellow man. The ideas embOd-
led In the constitution are but a re-
suit Of this feeling. came to Ari-
iona driving burrO 20 years ago and
have worked hard and have accumu-
lated something. Does it seem that a
man who has accumulated something
would advance ideas or work for q
cause that would tear down or de-
stroyT 1t is easier for a man who has
gone through the ordeal to appreciate
the position Of the people.
Protection Of Health.
I believe thoroughly in increased I
sanitary conditions and this is one of
the things that I will work for if
elected governor of Arizona. I would
have this for the protection Of our own
people from the diseased sufferers who I
come here from other states. I would l
not have 1t so that it would work a |
hardship on the visitors or temporary (
residents, for many of Ariz ona's best /
1tors for their health and have re- I
NAMED here, but I would have such I
regulations as would protect the well 4
people. Where so many sick people /
are constantly coming, we must pro- /
tect our home people.
Pure food is another matter that /
deserves every. consideration. The peo- /
pie are being made sick by some of the /
canned and bottled goods that are sold /
them. The United States government I
is working to enforce the law and I
think every state should supplement /
this work very vigorously. Pure food [
and good sanitation make a vigorous I
race; any race to be vigorous, mentally /
and physically, must be healthy. Look /
at the Spartans. for example. If /
elected governor, one of the first sub
jects shall touch upon in my message
viii be pure food legislation. No hon
est food manufacturer can object to
such legislation.
Wildcat Mining; Good Roads.
There are too many wildcat min
ing companies. In common with the
rest of the west Arizona has been hurt
largely by wildcat mining operations.
The state corporation commission viii
control the operations and supervise
the organization Of all Arizona cor
pOrauOns in future. Arizona should
be protected from these wildcat miners
and it viii be if I am elected. The pro-
