HUNT OUTLINES HIS WISHES FOR ACTION
 AT EXTRA SESSION
Governors Message to the Le- gislators Emphasizes Need of Land Code and Consideration of Capital Punishment.


 house of representatives was as fol- lows
 In addressing your Honorable Eody in accordance with custom at tlo beginning of this Second Special Session, it is presumably appropriate tJ again lay emphasis in at least a Cesual way. upon the great need of concluding your legislative progress with the greatest possible dispatch compatible with thoroughness Of ac-' compliment. None more readily than yourselves will recognize that the peo-I pie, whom you represent in these leg-I 8lative halls, have a right to expect
 ,th a fair degree of confidence that -Gch additional statutory provisions .cs are absolutely essential in the func- t0ning of State departments and in-| ,tltuticus will be made efficiently and cSpeditiously in the interest of both economy and good government Sol familiar to all of you are the needs Of. t1e State In relation to thc subjects enumerated in the cal by which this session was convened that your val- Uable time need not be occupied with Ia1y lengthy executive pronounce Iment bearing upon the most oppar- ont verities or rehearsing weilknown conditions concerning government
 Alludng therefore in merely cur sorry way. to the contents of the call. shall firstly, re-assert my belief. as expressed in my biennial message To the Second State Legislature, that , well formulated code for the admin i-tration of State lands is positively ! lnocessary, if untoward developments affecting Arizona's public domain arc to be ayerted. IL is, furthermore, true that the numerous school land lessees are at present in a situation traugut th such uncertainty that the con nued absence of statutory author ization for the appraisal of improve ments ond the sale Of this class Of ands under irrigation projects would ! impose a severe and unnecessary hard snip upon deserving settlers. It is most urgently recommended that this subject, above all others, be given pre-. 1 cadence in your consideration
 Tho second subject included in the call is intended primarily to open the | v1y toward the extening of relief by tia State to numerous worthy citi- ! I2ans of Apache and Navajo Counties. .yho, through the ravages of flood | '"-tcrs find themselves. not only sborn oi much valuable property. but ] ls0, Tn the absence of storage reser- -s.ys, facing an harvestless season. 1 I pr theS Legislature to relieve these 1 deserving people of the crushing bur ] den impOsed SO suddenly upon them l rT the devastating elements would be in the nature of simple justice t0 ciu- . zana who have met with darkest ad- l rc~sjty while occupied industriOusly ] in the upbuilding of the State In this connection. it may be added that sa Illustrated report compiled at my Instance by a competent engineer will serve to acquain. your Honorable Body with the unfortunate conditions Iuow prevailing in that section where | ,he flood waters caused most damage. l This report win be transmitted for
 your consideration during tOday's ! sessions.
 Continuing, it is proper for me to call attention to dle oversight com united during the regular session oi the Legislature when no statutory provision was made for the effective ! operation or the prohibition amend lwent To the Constitution Because legislative action in support of pro. tibition ig a Constitutional mandate and also. at the urgent solicitation oi rharmacists and civic organizations
 have framed the call to include thc
 subject of law enforcement in relation
 t1 the introduction of grain alcohol and the exclusion of intoxicating bev ierages. For this important provision , cf the call, ] bespeak your earnest at
 tention
 The two subjects relating to labor b as included in the call. are of uch - degree of importance a5 should com
 mand the interest and endeavor c every Legislator. To establish La - bor Commissioners office is t0 safe - guard and better tha conditions o
 workingmen and employers alike
 while the founding of a home for dis
 abled miners is nothing more than ai
 act of simple. industrial justice toward
 that class of men which gives the bes y of its life and effort to the upbu.d .. ing of the State, through thc develop
 ment of a great industry So appar ent is the salutary character of thes' e two measures, which were, unf0rtu & natcly, neglected during the regula
 session. that no protracted utteranc concerning their merit is necessary il q this message.
 g The presence of the semiannual ta
 repeal in the call, which is befor
 you. is, of course, clear to everyon s- who knows that a serious defect il
 the statute adopted in relation to Chi lsubieot during the regular sessio
 ! would in the event that the lal h should take effect this month ln pose a serious financial burden upo
