THE GOVERNORS
 COLORADO ADDRESS.

visit to Colorado and his address to the assembled governors at Colorado Springs the Globe Record comments as follows:
 "one would naturally expect that governor when he goes abroad to at, ,tend a conference of state executives, would endeavor to place his state in as favorable a light as possible, but. unfortunately, Governor Hunt at Col orado Springs. could not refrain from airing his peculiar views and laying the blame for the failure of his re form policies on the legislature, which he charges was led from the path of the duty by the interests.
 There is so much that he might have said in appreciation of Arizona, and in advocacy of measures essential ot the continued prosperity and hap piaess of her people, that the fatuity of the governor in parading his griey- ances and charging the failure of his pet theories on others is the more glaring. He could have told of surpass- ing wealth with which nature has ep- dowed Arizona, Of her wonderful dc velopraent .and production of her mines. of the advance of agriculture in the state. of the rapid growth of her cities and the enterprise and worth of her citizens. And he might have spoken of what is needed to insure the continued prosperity of Arizona the further extension of irrigation, the opening to settlement of state lands and lands uselessly withheld in Indian and forest resources, and the encoGr- agemept of capital to invest in tas state.
 Tt can not be truthfuliy said that the first state legislature was net pro gressive, according to the popular ac- ceptance of the word, although tue wisdom of many of its acts may well be questioned Governor Hunt held no brief from the people to institute pris- on reform or lbrogate the death penal ty. As for the plan advocated by the governor. to abolish the legislature as at present constituted and create in it's stand a law-making body of g single house, the idea is not new although received with little favor by those ex- periereed in legislation. aad is a radio al departure from the established form cf representative government. The legislature compos.sl of two chambers commonds itself by :oasoa and ex. pcrience, to proven. hast. or i'll ad- vlsed legislation.
 "Governor Hua.'s contention that the senate. or upper house. is a royal privilege against af-1ck by the people tbryssn p1e lower house. is pueriie since 10th houses of the state, legis Iature gre representative, Ling caoser iy popular vote. !r fEc Cr'ted S.ates there is 70 royalty to ser.e no classes to represent: the lesislator' whether senator CT representative. is account able oniy to the people az a whole While it might be advisable to re.iue' the size Of Legislative -bodies, in ih' interest Of economy ard e:nciercy. ! woul probably be urged in opposition that to reduce the u.embership XoHl: make tie legislature less represen tative FcLy and more susceptible i' uhe sinister influence cf designing per sous or combinations denomina,es by the governor as the interests Lik' Governor Hunts other theories of gov ernment lds scheme tc remodel tn legislature is immature and imprac tissBIc."
