 Eighth.-State highways. Good roads are second in importance only to good schools and should receive your earn. est consideration, and liberal support
 Ninth.-Public health. The depart ment of public health and vital statis- ties Is of great value to the state and its seVeral sub divisions. A sufficient appropriation should be made to en- able the superintendent and registrar to devote his or her entire time to the duties now prescribed and such others as you may deem necessary to add thereto.
 Tenth.-Labor. The question of se- curing a healthy, self-respecting, and mutually sympathetic attitude as be- tween employer and employe, capital ist and wage worker. is at best a very difficult one
 All phases of the labor problem prove difficult when approached by regulatory legislation. But the under lying principles, in accordance with which the problem must be ultimately solved. are entirely simple.
 These principles can be summed up briefly as follows: Justice and right dealing with man on his worth as a man rather than as to his social posi- tion, his occupation or the class to which he belongs. A fair and equit- able distribution of the rewards of his industry. A just and proper compen- sation for those killed and at least | possible cost and delay to those in l jured or maimed while acting as a unit Of the industry. A tribunal un- biased, unprejudiced and able to understand the inter dependence of labor and capital, to the end that in- dustrlal disputes may be eliminated and harmony and good will prevail.
 So far as your legislative powers re- 1 late to this vital matter l beg to recommend that they should be exer- cised in conformity with the principles herein set forth. properly enacted into | law.
 Eleventh.-Your attention is called to certificate of indebtedness. a cer- tified copy of which is in possession of the department of the state auditor in which A. w. Gregg is given judg- ment against the state of Arizona ir the sum of s15.379.1S, with interest thereon at the rate of per cent per annum from the 14th day of April 1915. This is a just and legal claim against the prison building fund on the state of Arizona, and a report hereon is being rendered to you by the | state auditor.

SUMMONS
 SOCIAL LEADER

Word was received in Phoenix yes terday of the death of Mrs. Webster Street, for years the acknowledged soc ial leader of this city, who passed away in Los Angeles on Sunday. The news was heard with deep sorrow and sincere regret by the host of friends of Mrs Street and her daughter, Mrs. Now brary Upton, of London. who has been at her mothers bedside during her long and serious illness. Hundreds of telegrams were sent to Mrs. Upton yes terday by life long and devoted friends of the family.
 The Streets came to Arizona in 1877 from Pennsylvania and continued their residence here until a few years ago, when the health of Judge Street neces- sitated the coast climate. When first coming to the west they located in Prescott, going later to Tucson and Tombstone. where Judge Street acted as court judge for a term. In 1887 the family came to Phoenix, and in 1897 Judge Street was appointed chief justice of the territory. He was an able jurist and his brilliant wife was helpful to him in many ways. Mrsl Street was a remarkably individual woman, clever. and always interesting.
 She was one of the founders of the Phoenix Country Club and was a mem- Der of the Episcopal church and promi- nent in Guild affairs.
 After the death of her husband, six years ago, she moved to Los Angeles, passing only an occasional few weeks here. Her only son. Lawrence Street. died a year after his father both being buried in Los Angeles. and it was Mrs. Streets wish that her body be buried

might be materially reduced.
 A large part of our state work Is of routine character and requires no special training for Its perform aTice. Unnecessary offices should be abol- ished. Whenever possible the work of offices should be combined, when this can be done without injury to public service.
 There are too many holidays. Va cations are too readily granted. The actual hours of employment are gen. erally too short. State clerks and em- ployes should work eight hours a day. Economy and efficiency is no longer beautiful theory: It is wise prac- tice and has come to stay. A state can be just as economical, If it will, as man in private citizenship. You have an opportunity of setting splendid example to all other depart ments of state by your action in the selection only of competent and neces- sary help to assist you in the labors now before you.
 In conclusion, l offer my best and most hearty cooperation in all mat ters aiming at the social, civic and in- dustrial improvement of the state of Arizona.

Recommendations as to Necessary

Le9iSidtion
 The following recommendations as to necessary legislation are submitted in the shortest possible form: Ct will he my duty to present, at the proper time, bills dealing fully with such of these matters as are not fully ex- plaifled herein).
 It is recommended:
 First.-That the executive budget system providing that the governor shall submit to the state senate and the state house of representatives two budgets, one for each of the two en- suing years, be adopted in lieu of the method prescribed by the present law governing state expenditures
 Second.-That the revenue laws h. revised. tSee recommendation of Ari zona state tax commission in biennial report-December 31. 1916).
 Third.-That our state schoo, lap be changed, to provide for greater uni formity and centralization of author ity, looking toward a higher standard among administrators and teachers: more intelligent and economical meth ods of purchasing school supplies and in the expenditure of all school reven- nes; and in general to obtain a fun dollars return for each dollar ex- pended. More than half of all stGte revenues are now being expended for education.
 Fourth.-That election laws. mor,. comprehensive and explicit than those at present on our statute books, be enacted.
 Fifth.-That the present law. limit ing the state to a maximum indebted ness of S350,000, is inadequate. and that the constitution be amended t,,

cial Advantage,

In connection with the search for
potash and nitrates In the United
States the government receives many
reports of supposed valuable discov-
cries. A letter recently received by
the United States geological survey
Of the interior department describes
cave In one Of the Southern states
which was worked by the Confederacy
during the Civil war for potassium
nitrate. This cave is said to contain
at least 100000 tons Of nitrous earth.
which, however contains only l or 3
per cent of nitrate. The survey now
states that 1t seems very doubtful
whether such material can be profit
ably used as source Of nitrate salts.
The minimum grade Of caliche now
worked in the Chilean fields contains
IL per cent of sodium nitrate, and
though there has been much criticism
lof the crudeness Of the methods en-
ployed there, the work is done by very
cheap Indian labor, and 1t is doubtful
whether leaner material could be
worked to advantage here, where the
price of labor is so much higher. Sew
eral hundred thousand dollars has re-
Gently been expended in one Of the
Western states In testing the PROPOSE
ton to utilize low-grade nitrate. The
results have been negative.

FATHER OF MODERN LIBERTY
Simon De Montfort Credited With
Idea Which Led to the Present
Popular Representation.

The commons Of England were
called to sit in parliament for the first
time In 1855, a little more than $50
years ago, and 80 years after King
John had been forced ~ the barons
to sign the Magma Charts.
The man responsible for this popu-
lar representation was Simon de Mont
fort, earl of Leicester, who was killed
in the battle of Evesham on August 4,
1866, only few months after he had
gained place In history as the father
Of the English house of commons. I'm
der his leadership the barons had
waged a successful war on King
Henry, and had taken the monarch
and his son, afterward Edward 1, pris-
oners of war. Leicester, who had laid
down the law that the king derives
his power from the people and must
use 1t for the public good, governed
for a time in the name of the king
and issued the ordinance in 1865, in
which each city and town was called
upon to choose and send two dis
Greet, loyal and honest men" to rep
resent them in parliament. Thus was
laid the foundation Of the house Of
commons.

make sure that you know the real from

owners do not appreciate its intrinsic
artistic value. Sometimes-especially

Modern Cinderella.

The day Of good fairies is not over
Several months ago, Miss Minerva
Menke was a passenger On Madison
avenue street car in New York city.
As she stepped from the car one of
her pumps became wedged in a cor
ner of the step, and her foot slipped
out Of 1t. She did her best to make
her plight known, but at that moment
the fairy must have shut the conduc-
tors eyes and covered his ears, for
he gave two vigorous tugs on the bell
rope. and the car carried Miss Menke's
pump away, leaving her pumpless in
the street. She hobbled to a drug
store at the corner and telephoned for
a taxicab to take her home.
A few blocks farther on, Jack Wifi
son noticed the pump as he was leav-
ing the car. He slipped it into his
pocket-it Is q No. 2-and when he
reached home telephoned an advertise
ment to the New York Herald, which
tells the story with pardonable COM
