Hunt opened a contest involving re- count and an elaborate investigation, but I do not believe I shall be removed. Pending the outcome, all my acts as governor are vested with authority and legality"
 When I asked Governor Campbell what he wanted, above all else to do for his state, he answered promptly: T am try ing to give Arizona soul I want 1t to remember it is state, not just selt- interested group of individuals.
 Arizona has but about 350,000 popu- lation in an area of 11S,OoO square miles. Most of the people have come here to find fortunes. They are individualists. want them tor unify, to do things for the community, things that will advance Arizona as 8 state.
 Tom Campbell, for all his self-made- ness, his cattle punching his miik-rout- ing and his working acquaintance with the mines, Is a conservative governor. I mean he Is not a radical, as was his predecessor, Governor Hunt.
 Hunt they say, was "a nut on prison reform" and would have turned loose every convict in the state if he'd had his way"
 He was also strong for labor unions, and the problem of capital and mine la bor is large one in Arizona, where enormous wealth is invested
 Governor Hunt had socialist tendencies, too, which made the conservatives and the newspapers nervous.

We're progressive all right, but we don't want to be anarchistic. We've got to keep our feet on the ground!'
 HE'S FOR CONSCRIPTION
 Like the grand majority Governor Tom Campbell views selective conscrption as a wise and patriotic procedure.
 "I am strong for having my own boyy do their share in the country's service, he said. But I do not sec the word conscription' as necessarily meaning service in the trenches. Each man should perform whatever service he IS pest fitted for. Let us try 1t, say l, to the wiser, older heads who have studied the plan profoundly. .se'

AUTO LICENSES NOT SUFFICIENT
FOR ROAD UPKEEP.
Audit Sustains Claim Made BY State
Roads Commission.

An audit of the books of the State
Roads Commission discloses the fact
that the receipts from automobile
licenses are not sufficient for the
proper maintenance of the improved
highway. Should the pending Adam
son bill be approved by Congress and
the President sign it the deficit will
be still more glaring. In fact, the
shortage would be increased $780,
600 annually. The audit was under
taken at the request of the Maryland
Automobile Club, which was disposed
to urge favorable action on the
Adamson bill.
The figures from 1910 to 1916 in
elusive show a deficit of $697,795.t9.
The receipts from automobile licen-
ses during the same period were
$1,243, ,794.89 less than was spent
for upkeep of roads. The total re-
ceipts from auto licenses we're $712,-
610.67 for use of roads. During
these years the amount spent for
maintaining the roads was 1885,
4O5.56 Deducting the first mon
toned sum from the last mentioned
leaves a deficit of 81 1,243,784.89
which the automobilists would owe
the commission were they required
to pay the entire cost of maintaining
the state roads system.
The total sum received by the
State Commission for road mainten-
ance was 1,258.610.37. OF this
amount the> aforesaid $712,610.67
came from automobile license fees,
$339,778.28 from the one cent tax
that formerly was levied for road
maintenance and the remaining
$2O6,221.41 from miscellaneous
sources, such as interest on deposits
and the like.
Straight out maintenance cost the
state during the years indicated
$1,7S3, ,2O1.17, inspection OF state
aided roads added $7,394.96 and
overhead expenses added $780,
SO9.43, making up the total of ST.
956,4O556 above referred to. De-
ducting from the total maintenance
cost the total amounts available for
maintenance purposes leaves the de-
ficit of $697,795.19 in the mainten-
ance account, which was referred to
in the first paragraph.

WILL NOT BUILD MACADAM
ROADS.

Concrete Is Only Material.

State Roads Commission Decides

No more macadam roads are to be

Roads Chairman Frank H. Zouck
says that it had been so we'll demon
strated that macadam will not stand
heavy motorcar and truck traffic that
the Road Commission will at its next
meeting adopt resolution that here
after concrete shall be the only ma
terial used.
The first improved roads in this
State were of macadam construction,
because at that time little or nothing
had been done with concrete high
way construction, for the reason that
road engineers generally were afraid
Of it and did not make any plans for
extensive use of it till small sections
had been subjected to heavy traffic
under varying conditions.
One of the first troubles with con-
crete and one that has not been en-
tirely eliminated is its tendency to
crack. I1OWGNCT, ny lAC u5o "a GA

improved methods of construction in
others, this weakness has been pretty

With the rapid increase in the
