GOV. HUNT RECEIVES LETTER FROM
 CONNECTS
Thank Him For Humane Treatment During the Past Year-WilI En- deavor to Prove to World That
 1t is Correct

One hundred and eleven prisoners at the Arizona state penitentiary have forwarded to Governor George Hunt a Christmas round robin thanking him for his humane treatment of the con- victs and assuring him that they will do all in their power ito prove to the world that your method of treating prisoners in the state penal institu- tions is the proper and correct meth od for society to adopt, if the aim of society is to better social conditions and reduce crime.''
 T appreciate this letter more than any Christmas present that I ever re ceived," said Governor Hunt in speak ing of the round robin. q am as- sured that my efforts to improve con ditions at the penitentiary, to make the prisoners better men, are appre- ciated by the convicts themselves. ,"
 The letter is not written on the sta tionery of the Arizona Prison Re form League" the association of con- victs within the penitentiary that has attracted so much attention. The name of Louis V. Eytinge; organizer and former president of the league, is conspicuous by it's absence. More over, the letter is not written in the flowing, sonorous style of Eytinge. There are other evidences that he had nothing to do with it's preparation.
 It is believed that the league itself had nothing to do with the round rob- in, though most of it's members signed. There are only a few more than Ill prisoners at the penitentiary now, the others being at road and bridge camps.
 Following is the letter from the convictS:
 Honorable George W. P. Hunt,
 Governor of Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-We, the undersigned in- mates of the Arizona state prison, take this method of extending to you our most heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation of the many kind favors which have been shown us during the past year by you and your admins tration. We also wish to put our selves on record as believing most en- phatically that the humane treatment of prisoners under your administra- tion will do far more toward helping us to lift ourselves from the level of lawbreakers into the ranks of useful and respected citizens than all the punitive methods known to history.
 We, as individuals, solemnly prom ise you that we will so conduct our selves in our daily lives as to prove to the world that your method of treating prisoners in the state penal institutions is the proper and correct method for society to adopt, if the aim of society is to better social condi- tions and reduce crime.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-12-27

We hail your system and your man "a gefnes.t of q hsk ArizosJa state prison. as hastening the day when men shall be brothers the world over.
 Governor Hunts reply to this mes sage follows:
 December 24, 1912. To The Boys" of the Arizona State Prison:
 With feeling in which gratifica- tion and appreciation are about equal ly represented, I acknowledge the re- ceipt of your Christmas greeting in the form of testimonial signed by you in support and endorsement of the methods employed during the past ten months in the management of the Arizona State prison. Whatever suc- cess has attended the system inaugll- rated in February of this year for the purpose of giving every man in your institution a square deal is never made so apparent as when you, the beneficiaries of this system, manifest your willingness to cooperate and your desire to help work out the prob- lens that arise.
 After all is said for and against the new methods adopted at the prison, by friends and Mcritics, the success or downfall of these methods must ulti- mately depend upon each and every Ou0 OI you. n0 0SS6nCldl IS Idlr play ,and this applies to all of us who have an interest in the welfare of the institution.
 In wishing every one of you the best things that this seasoin and the new year can possibly hold in store, I want to express my hope and belief that an other Christmas day will have wit messed the absolute justification of the system by which justice is tenn pered with mercy, and unreasoning harshness and brutality are supplant- ed by those precepts of brotherly love and the spirit of mutual helpfulness which Christmas day is intended to commemorate. From my heart, and in behalf of my fellow officers as well, thank you for your assurance of CO., oopeation. My most sincere wish for the realization and possession of the best things in life goes forth to you all today.

 A highway that is open the year round," will be the slogan. All eff forts to have the first transconti- mental automobile road built along any route that will not be passable twelve months of every year will be opposed.
 The organizers of the new associa- tion intend to make their route their main argument. They will bring to the attention of the entire country the fact that theirs is the only route that is not closed a part of the year by rains, snow and low temperature.
 One of the things to be fought for is a government bridge across the Colorado river at Yuma. An esti- mate of the cost of constructing such a bridge has been prepared by the secretary of the interior and present ed to congress. Every effort will be made to build the bridge, and when it is built, one more potent argumenc for national highway along this route will be available.
