| pensation or liability law should be placed on our Statute Books. The present makeshift is not satisfactory to either employer or employe. I would favor the appointment of joint committee of employer and em- ploye, with power to jointly formulate such system of laws as would fair ly and reasonably compensate the in- jured employe or his family in case of death, for submission to the legis- lature for proper action at the earliest convenient time.
 Fourth:-I will insist that all pub- lie offices of the State and County are administered efficiently and econom- ically, so that the burden of taxation may be held down to the minimum, and I will advocate and work for such laws that will be the means of bring ing about the often promised, and sell dom realized, economy in State gov ernment.
 Fifth:-I am for supplementing our prohibition law by proper and ade- quate legislation, in order that the same can and will be effectively en- | forced
 1 Sixth:-I pledge my support to the end that the Red Light Abatement Bill, House Bill No. 4, passed by the Third State Legislature, and referred to the voters on referendum peti- tion, become law.
 Seventh:-I will endeavor to have our election laws amended and revis- ed in such a manner that they be made clear to all citizens electors and administrative Officials of the State.
 Eighth:--I favor the ratification of Constitutional Amendments by our State of the nationwide prohibition and Woman's Suffrage laws.
 Ninth:-I am for continuation of State highway system and additional good roads Will also insist that the Federal government build a system of good roads along the southern boundary of the State, the same be- ing in my judgment vital military necessity for our present and future protection.
 believe that the full authority of the legislative and executive branches of the State government should be exercised in the enactment and en- forcement of adequate laws for the protection of life and property along the Mexican border.
 Tenth:-I favor continued and ade- quate appropriations for the main tenance of the public schools and in stitutions of the state, in order to keep them up to the highest standard. Realizing our total unpreparedness when entering this worlds greatest of all wars, and knowing the necessity and importance of specialized training and advantages of same, am in fa- vor of additional appropriations and
 revenues, for our schools, in order that
 we may give our boys and girls voca-
 tional, industrial and military train
 ing of the highest order.
 Eleventh:-As the Commissioner to the State Land Department, l have
 endeavored to secure for the State the
 the greatest amount of revenue con
 sistent with good business policy in the leasing and sale of State and In- stitutional lands. My report to the State Land Department will show the results achieved, and 1 assure you that I feel a great pride in this de- | partment of State, and am in favor of a continuation of the present broad 2 constructive land policy. : Twelfth:-I am for legislation that will deal effectively with those people , who in any way hamper or hinder our 9 industrial, military and financial ef- l forts to speedily and effectively prose- r cute the war. There should be no n temporizing or half way measures. t Our soldiers are in the trenches, of : fering their lives for this great and @ noble cause, and we should as individ- n uals and officials see that nothing is l left undone and that there is no in- t terference in our efforts to back them e up with our moral, financial and phy- : sical forces to insure us speedy and e complete victory.
 t l am heartily in favor of legislation 2 extending the franchise to the electors 2 of the State of Arizona in the mili- : tary and naval establishments of the n United States, wherever they may be e stationed.
