The border vidette., 1918-05-25
No. 21.


 Fourth-I will insist that all public offices of the State and county are administered efficient ly and economically, so that the burden of taxation may be held down to the minimum, and will advocate and work for such laws that will be the means of bring ing about the often promised and seldom realized economy in State government.
 Fifth am for supplement- ing our prohibition law by pro- per and adequate legislation, in order that the same can and will be effectively enforced.
 Sixth pledge my support to the end that the Red Light Abatement Bill, House Bill No. f, passed by the Third State Legislature and referred to the voters on a referendum petition becomes law.
 Seventh will endeavor to and revised in such manner that they may be clear to all citizens, electors and administrative of uCldlS or the SCaCo.
 Eighth-I favor the ratifica- tion of the Constitutional Amend ments by our State of the Ma tion- wide Prohibition and Wo- mans Suffrage Laws.
 Ninth am for a continua- tion of our State highway sys- tenn 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 being in my judgment a vital military necessity for our pres ent and future protection.
 I believe that the full authori- ty of the legislative and execu- tive branches of the State gov ernment should be exercised in the enactment and enforcement of adequate laws for the pro- tection of life and property along the Mexican border.
 Tenth-I favor continued and adequate appropriations for the maintainance of the public schools and institutions of the State, in order to keep them up to the highest standard. Req. lizing our total unpreparedness when entering this greatest of all wars, and knowing the ne- cessity and importance of spe- cialized training and advantages of same, I am in favor of addi- tional appropriations and reve- nueS for our schools in order that we may give our boys and girls vocational, industrial and military training of the highest order.
 Eleventh-AsCommissioner to the State Land Department, I have endeavored to secure for the State the greatest amount of revenue consistent with good business policy in the leasing and sale of the State and insti- tutional lands. My report to the State Land Department will show the results achieved and 1 feel great pride in this De- in favor of a continuation of the present broad constructive land policy.
 Twelfth am for legislation that will deal effectively with those people who in any way hamper or hinder our industrial, military and financial efforts to speedily and effectively prose- cute the war. There should be no temporizing or halfway measures. Our soldiers are in the trenches offering their lives for a great and noble cause, and we should, as individuals and officials, see that nothing is left undcne and that there is no iD- terference in our efforts to back them up to the limit with our moral, financial and physical forces and insure speedy and complete victory.
 I am heartily in favor of legiS- lation extending the franchise to electors of the State of Ari- zona, wherever they may be stationed.
 I submit the above for your earnest consideration and ask your support.
 Respectfully, w. A. MOEUR.
