The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-02-07

The amount of such increased revenue is not difficult to ascertain nor the purposes, which I have al ready roughly outlined, to which il was devoted.
 In 1911, the last year under Terri torial government, the total assess ment of property for Territorial purposes was $9S,O32, ,7OS.64. In 1912 this was increased to $40, ,33S, ,191 OS The tax levy in both years was ninety cents on each one hundred dollars worth of property. Anyone may therefore easily determine that under the assessment and tax levy of 1912, increased revenue was rais- ed, assuming that all taxes have been paid or will be paid, to the amount of $3sO,749. .3S.
 The question is reduced to this concrete proposition: what has been done with that money, and were the purposes for which it was and is being spent legitimate? To the lat ter part of the proposition I answer, emphatically, yes, and the former  part will be replied to with quite definite figures.
 Since. no expense is or may be in cured without warrant of law, we will look to the law for the facts. The first State Legislature enacted laws, which met my approval, in volving specific appropriations of a distinctly extraordinary class-that is, differing from and in addition to the appropriations other Legisla- lures had been called upon to make of more than quarter of a mil lion dollars, and in order that the taxpayers may judge of the wisdom or unwisdom, the necessity or lack of necessity, of making these appro- priations, the following statement is appended:

GOVERNOR HUNT SENDS MESSAGE ID
 SPECIAL SESSION IF LEGISLATURE

ble one of making many alterations in the, Capitol to provide accommo- dations for the new officers and the Supreme Court, and the likewise un- avoidable one of employing the ad- ditional clerical nelp required to transact a materially enhanced busi- ness in every department and the situation begins to unfold.
 It does not become entirely clear, however, until it is understood that when the present administration took charge of the States business it discovered a deficit in the Gener- al Fund, out of which all the ordin- ary expenses of government are met, of approximately $150,000. This circumstances alluded to in my first message to the Legislature, and it is quite as true now as then. The deficiency was caused by the failure of the last Territorial Board of Equalization to levy a sufficient tax to keep the General Fund in it's normal condition, the lowering of the tax levy at what was from a business standpoint most lnoppor- tune time-since conditions really demanded an increased levy-being obviously done for political consid- erations. This deficiency had to be met by the taxpayers of the State, the necessity for increased revenues.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-02-07

mandates and it is not likely that | the other a extraordinary appropria-
 tions will be criticised by any fair
 mineded taxpayer.
 I do not by any means claim per- lection for the present administra- tion. I do not claim that no money has been unwisely spent, or every penny saved that might have been but 1 do assert that not a dollar has been expended without authority of law, not a dollar has been squan-
 dered, no graft has been permitted, every effort has been eXerted to honestly and faithfully conserve the
 public funds in strict accordance
 with my pledges of a business ad-
 ministration, and actual comparisons
 with other administrations, when
 they can be made, will show to the
 credit of the officials who are now
 serving the State. Much in the way
 plished, the institutions are being conducted better and more econom- ically than ever before and I feel no bangs of conscience when I as- sert that, while improvements are possible, no reasonable or justifia- ble complaint can be offered against the present conduct of the States business.
 This statement has consumed much time and space, but it may nevertheless be well, before passing the subject, to call attention to an- other matter. As has been hereto fore stated, the tax levy for 1912 contemplated the raising, by direct taxation, of $3SO, ,7493S greater rev enue than 1911. It may not be generally known that almost the en- tire sum of this additional burden was by the taxing authorities of the State placed on the industries best able to bear it, namely, the mining and the railroads. To be specific the mining industry con- tributed $233,124.77 more than last year, while the railroad companies taxes were increased by sS5,141.S2.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-02-07

Add to this total the salaries and expenses of the Governors office
 and of the office of Secretary of alterations in the Capital and the legitimate necessity for practically
 all of the increased revenue provid-
 ed for by the tax levy is explained.
 Then add the $150,000 deficit be- queathed to the present administra- and the reply to those who would
 complain about the tax rate becomes almost eloquent. AS a matter of fact, the actual and necessary eX- pense in addition to and above the needs of previous administrations, incurred or to be incurred by the present administration from the date on which Arizona, became a State-February IA, 1912-to the completion of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, will amount, in roun1 figures and including the huge de- ficit heretofore mentioned, to $500,- 900. To increase this will come the expense of the present Legislature and of the revision of the code, al ready authorized and nearly conl- pleted except for legislative ap- proval.
 It is not claimed that the above figures are absolutely acurate as regards their extraordinary charaf- ter, but they are approximately so, and as accurate as it is possible to make them. A few minor amounts might be offset by somewhat simi- lar appropriations in former years, but not to an extent which would affect the totals. in one instance-that of the Corpora tion Commission-the appropriation is partly offset by revenues of the office, but neither does this mater tally alter the figures offered.
 A review of the items of expense above set forth will show their wis dom and necessity. Every office for which provision was made is essen tial to the proper administration Of the peoples business, most of them being the result of constitutional

 A letter received this week by the Copper Era from President Dell M Potter, locates that enthusiastic Good Roads worker ct Raleigh, North Caro- lima, where he has been iRs conference with Governor Locke CrafA of that state. At the San Diego coHyentieS the western route from San Diego to Ell Paso was adopted and designated in the Consultation of the Association, in Section l, as follows:
 Section 1.-The object of the As sociation shall be the establishment of Southern National Highway, the Western terminus to be San Diego, California, thence eastward through the Imperial Valley to Yuma, Arizona; thence eastward to Buckeye, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Roosevelt Dam, Globe, Gila Valley, Stafford, Clifton and Dun can; thence eastward across New Mexico to Lordsburg, Silver City, Deming, Las Cruces and Ell Paso, Texas. The part of the Southern National Highway Association, not herein described, to be designated by a convention to be held in the South and specifically set forth in the Con- stitution. g :,
 Pursuant to this section of the Con. and bylaws Governor Locke Craig, of North Carolina, has called a meeting of the Association to be held February 18th, and composed of delegates from the South, at which time the definite route through Dixie land will be designated. Mr. Potter will remain in North Carolina until after this date. Mr. Potter is of the opinion that upon the completion of this Association there is not the least 1oubt but that the Southern National Highway Association will be able to secure the first Federal aid appropri- ation for this route open all the year for automobile traffic from Atlantic o Pacific.
