HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS

Estimates are now being made
for the information of the next
legislature in making up the ap,
preparation for the maintenance of
the State Highway Department for
the two years commencing June so,
1913. If the proposed $50, 900, 900
bond issue for the construction of
highways on the definite program
laid down in the act of 1911 is APP
proved by the people, the State will
be in a position to be liberal in re-
gard to highway construction and
maintenance aside from the main
highway building system.
As the State is committed to "A
system of main highways by act of
the last legislature, provision must
be made for maintaining during the
next two years the roads already
rebpilt or repaired, but assuming
the bond issue for construction will
be ratified, the State will then be
in a position to make good sized
appropriations for the construc-
ton of highways under the State
aid plan and to provide for the
payment of read tax bonus to town
ships.
Highway legislation bids fair to
occupy much attention in the COM
ing session of the legislature, as the
experimental period of road is
practically ended and the demand
for good roads is State wide. 1t is
no longer confined to those locali-
ties near cities which have large
suburban populations, but comes
also from agricultural communities
where the advantages of first class
highways reaching county towns
and market towns are now recog-
nized. On the next legislature will
depend the future of the roads of
the State, and the improvements
seem certain to go forward, owing
to the strong feeling in the interior
counties i'm favor of better high
ways as an economic proposition.
With plan of distributing the
sales of bonds over period of
wears as needed and for the retire
ment of these bonds at the end of
five years, the burden will fall
lightly compared to the benefits
that will be obtained from the de-
velopment of the highway program
land its systematic maintenance
along modern lines.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
STATE OF ARIZONA Executive Department


 Since that memorable day in his tory when the Pilgrim Fathers and their families foregathered at Ply mouth on New England's bleak and barren coast and there gave rever- ent thanks to God for a bountiful harvest and other blessings merci- fully bestowed, Time has wrought its miracles. The steady march of empire has taken it's westward way; forest and plain and Natures mighty elements have paid tribute to h. dustry while state after state has joined a sisterhood making the Worlds greatest nation. Youngest of all in statehood, but rich in po- tentialities, is our beloved Arizona, for whose accession to the privileges of sovereignty we, her citizens, are deeply grateful.
 The Spirit of Progress pursues an ideal. "Where there is no vision, the people perish D Behold com- monwealth where marvellous nat ural resources are stored in moun- tain and in valley awaiting indus try's behest; where people is aligned against all wrongs assailmg; where the charity of populace is almoner unto the erring and affiict- ed; where the poverty of the past Is forgotten in the plenty of the pres ent; where wilful waste is not the precursor of woeful want; where manhood's honesty and courage are gloriied and womanly virtue is re- ligion; where church and state work in harmony for the general good.
 Obeying natures highest law, we grateful to our Creator for our share in the upbuilding of this young commonwealth; for the privilege of giving posterity a heritage even richer than our own; for the health and hope that abide among our peo- pie; for the contentment that dwells in our homes; for the spiritual grace that leads us in the path of recti- tude; for the family ties and bonds of love that hold us true to our lofti- est aims; for the material prosperity that gives sustenance to home and church and state.
 Now, THEREFORE, in recognition of the blessings which we have re- ceived at the hands of the Supreme Being, in conformity with time honored custom of the American people, and in accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States, l, Gov. W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, do hereby designate
 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER THE TWENTY
 EIGHTH, AS THANKSGIVING DAY, and l do earnestly recommend that on this festal occasion the usual tasks be forsaken and that all shall be deeply mindful of the needy. the sick and the otherwise unfortu- nate, while at altar and at tireside gratitude be shown for the gifts of Gods bestowing.
 IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, l have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Arizona.
 Done at the Capitol, in the city of Phoenix, this fourteenth day of November, A. D. 1912.
