Washington, Aug. 15.-What has
Taft done?
Why should Taft be given another
term in the White House?
What has he done to hedp the Re-
publican party?
These questions were often hearo
states made last fall. while President
Taft was on his tour across the con.
tinent. Uusally the question was
asked by some one with a crouch -
most often by local political leader
who had been disappointed either in
not receiving a political appointment
for himself or for his friends, or be-
cause the appoint nentc the president
had seen fit to maxe in his best oudg.

What has Taft done?
First of all, when he entered tn
White House he supplied the librar
with copy Of the constitution OF tn
United States, which appears to hav
been missing therefrom for seve

 Election in 1912.
 There has been much discussion, pro and con, concerning the date of the next election of state and county officers. 1 deem it the duty of this legislature; l deem it the duty of the democratic party represented by large majority of the members of this legislature, to settle this qIestion once for all, The terms of the con- stltution are conflicting-a conflict caused by Arizona's delayed adm:s- sion into the UniOn-a conflict which could only be settled judicially by ref erence to the supreme court, thus placing that tribunal in the position of sitting on the adjustment of it's

Thus planned, the work ot construc- ton snodld be carried on with system, with energy and skill, until Arizona highways become the admiration and envy of the world.
 Preserve Scenic Effects.
 As 1 have said, Arizona's scenery Is splendid asset. No similar area on the face of the earth, 1 assert with confidence, boasts so great a variety, such compelling beauty, such impress SlVe grandeur as the varying scenes our state affords. It is an asset which should be jealously guarded; and the thought has been impressed upon me, during recent visits to mountainous portions of the state, that an abuse is being permitted which has already become nuisance, and will in time go far toward destroying the scenic beau ties of the beaten paths of travel. I refer to the practice of painting ad- vertisements on the boulders and prec- lpices and stony points which consti- ute an important feature of the scenic effects on our mountain roads, and

 Site for Industrial School.
 In this connection recommend the authorization of a commission to in veStigate sites for the state industrial scnOol, now located at Benson a point which my investigation shows is unfitted tor such an institution. It does not seem possible that the Indus- trial School, located as it is, construct ed as it is, and handicapped by It's ob- VlOdS limitations, can ever be made to produce, under the best management, such results as another environment and a more modern system would al most certainly insure.

If Arizona is to hew to the line of plogresslveness she has marked out tor herself, and justify the position accorded her even at this early date, there IS no way in which that progress siveness can be made more practical, or productive of gI eaCer or more last ing benefits than by mapping oLt and adopting modern and advanced poi Icy or management of the states pe- nal and so-called reformatory or cor rectional institutions, and ot treating the unfortunate inmates thereof by cOmmOn-senSe, humane methods

The one or the other will compare favorably, 1 think, with the institutions and methods in vogue therein, of all those states which have not yet escaped from the archaic Idea that society's ends are best served by the punishment and degradation of those convicted of transgresslng the law of the land. But it is to those states which have adopted the idea that more good comes of an effort to lift up, assist and truly correct the fallen than by continued demonstra- tions of the policy of kicking a man when he's down that I would have Ari- zona look for direction. 1 think we should take full advantage of the great strides which of recent years have

Sup plies should be purchased as cheaply as any other quantity buyer can get them, and the buying done as skill fully.
