MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR
tContinued from Page Two)

l would go farther and see a san- itary public market in every town where the housewife may find al least a partial solution of the high cost Of living; where the produce oi the neighborhood may be secured daily. fresh and clean and wholesome: and where the producer free from the eNactions of the middleman. may find sale. under municipal regula . l tionS. for the fruits of his labors. These reforms. l am confident, can 1 be consummated without great eX- | pense. and once established. they will prove 10 be genuine economies They will make a happier. more contented more cheerful. and therefore q better people. and against this gain no pos sible item of expense should weigh Horticultural Protection. Through the horticultural commits sion created by the last territorial legislature very considerable pro- tection has been afforded to the hor- ticutural interests of the state. The commission was restricted in Its op- erations. however, by want of funds, and was unable to extend it's activ- ities to many sections where fruit raising promises to become an impor- tant industry. So great are the hor- ueultural and agricultural possibilities of Arizona that too much attention cannot be given to the question of in surance against the introduction and dissemination of dangerous insect pests
 Live Stock Sanitary Laws.
 In general sense Arizona's laws for the maintenance of hcalthfulness among the live stock of the state is excellent. and l would suggest no radical changes. In my opinion. now ever. q system should be devised and set into motion for the inspection and testing of the dairy herds for tuberculosis
 Code Revision.
 Eleven years have elapsed since the revision of Arizona's statutes Four sessions of the legislature and .& constitutional convention have worked many changes in the law. eDcumbering the statutes, creating confusion, causing uncertainties and ohstructinS justice. It seems to me necessary that there should be q re- vision Of the code. and I trust the means therefor will be provided. I venture the hope. however. that an economical plan will be evolved-a working plan. sans sinecures. sans unearned emoluments. comprChending simply fair service for fair pay.
 New Military Code.
 A modern military code. simplified ard as nearly as practicable conform ing 10 the regulations prescribed for the regular army. is advisable. Even .hiS branch of the service may b. made more democratic by abOlshinS the staff. and providing for the dcs- ignation of an officer from the line on such occasions as the commander ih-chief may desire the services of an aide
 Panama Pacific Exposition.
 The Pacific Exposition. which opens in San Francisco in 1915. will probably exceed in magnitude and importance any similar under taking in the history of the union. At the st. Louis worlds fair. tho Louisiana exposition and other great international events of similar char acter. Arizona had creditable repre- Sentation even while q territory In the flush of statehood prominence, it will not be wise or praiscworthy to go backward. We should have cred itable representation at San Francis co, and an early determination Of the part to be taken in the exposition is advisable tO the end that suit able site may be secured for the state building The allotting of sites for state buildings began on the lfth of the present month. and as It appears tJ be the evident intention Of all of the states to be represented. it would be well for Arizona to make an early selection of a site.
 Wise Economy the Watchword.
 In concluding my recommendations Of proposed legislation. I want to inn rress upon you. again and again, the necessity for the strictest econ omy-nOt nigSardliness. but wise. far sighted ecOnomy-that economy which takes account of thorough, systematic business methods. the providing of necessary but not superfluous equip ment. the adoption of labor saving
