In answer to the statement made
by DR.. Hughes that he had walked
to the capital instead of riding, the
governor said that that was true,
he had done that as a matter of
sentiment, of which every person
possessed to some degree. He had
witnessed thirty years ago pros
pector who travelled through the
Gila valley, walking behind his
burrc, to Globe, and that he had
made up his mind that if he ever
was governor, he would walk to the
capital.
Taking up the charge that his
travelling expenses were 80 times
that of Governor S!oan's, he said
there was no way to get the figures
on Governor Sloan's expenses, as
they were paid by the government,
but if Governor Sloan had spent
$4,000, according to DR.. Hughes
statement, he must have spent
So, 100000 The facts were that the
State allows the governor So, 10000
a year for travelling expenses. and
at the end of the fiscal year June
30th, the balance was $1,700.02
This was proof that he had rot cost
the State 80 times as much as Gov
ernor Sloan cost the government for
travelling expenses. DR.. Hughes
could easily have got these figures
if he had wanted to.
The governor next related how
the emissaries of the big interests
which had always run the Territory,
had come to his office shortly after
his inauguration, and had asked
him what they could do to help
make his administration a success.
He had replied that they could best
help to make his administration a
success by paying their just pro
rata of taxes. He had also told
them that he was going to be gov
ernor and appoint his own commits
sions.
Ever since that time he had been
harpooned by the subsidized press
Fof the corporations and had been
attacked on all sides. If he had al
lowed them to appoint the tax COM
mission, he would undoubtedly be
the best governor Arizona had ever
had.
In all things he had done his duty
by the people of the State and
would continue to do so.
When he became governor he
found 400 men in the State prison,
all idle. He believed it economical
and humane to put these men to
work and had done so by having
them work on the roads. He be-
lieved these men should be an asset
to society instead of liability.
Visiting the Tempe bridge, in
course of construction, he found
they were using mules at a cost of
$25. 90 each per month He asked
the man in charge if the State did
not own mules and was told that it
did, but that they were in Verde
Valley and would be expensive to
bring to Tempe. He sent word to
the superintendent of the prison to
send him a certain convict, which
was done, and he sent this man
