Scientific LeqisIation

When the extraordinary session of the legislature adjourned last was believed by that body that sufticency of offices and commissions had at last been provided for the conduct of the states business and that enough money had been appropri- ated the payment salaries and other expenses of government. But regarding the latter there was vagucness Probably much more than enough had been appropriated.
 The trouble with this sort of legislation is that there is danger in appropriatng much. It is the tendency of the individual when sets aside money for specific purpose. spend it all, whether is needed or not That tendency is the stronger when a public fund has been created We are having an Illustration of it. We believed that we had more money than needed and yet now, there is fear that will have enough
 In this county $14Oo00 more has been raised by taxation this year than was raised last year. of which $594s6 was raised for state purposes beyond sum raised by this county last year for territorial purposes. The other counties. that is those which the larger mines are situated or which have railroad trackage have contributed proportionateIy n larger measure the increase taxes for state purposes this year
 What mistakes have been made in the way of spending the public money. well as in the man ner of raising it. may be excused the ground of a lack of experience in statehood such an ex- cannot be offered for future similar mistakes
 There has been brought home the people the need of scientific legisIation the determination in advanc of the expenses of government the year and intelligent agreement upon a plan for meet ing this expense that the burden will equally on all and needlessy, heavily none
 We believe in the budget; the presentation to the legislature of definite financial policy. pro gressive and liberal but the same time economical Upon this should be made an estimate of the income and accurate should the budget the estimate be that the live comfortably within the income. This system should be applied to county and municipal, well state affairs.
 The budget has been weakly and spasmodicaIIy attempted in this country. in both national Legislatures but it has always gone pieces under the process of Iog-roIing Times, however, are changing. The people coming to take a greater than they have hitherto done the affairs of government which is their business and which they will conduct the most careful of them con duct their own business

Under this pan bills are be prepared after the study and prepared. they not to be emasculated or vitiated by compromise
 II is the boast of Arizonians that this state took the lead in the progressive movement two years ago. Let it keep the pace it then and take the lead not only in the of further progressive legislation but also in the enacting all legislation inteligently and scientifically.
