employe or his family in case of death, for submission to the legislature for proper action at the earliest convent ent time.
 Fourth-I will insist that all pub lie offices of the state and county are administered efficiently and economi- cally, 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 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.
 Sixth 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 a referendum petition, be- comes law.
 Seventh will endeavor to have our election laws amended and revised in such manner that they may be clear to all citizens, electors and ad- ministrative officials of the state. Eighth favor the ratification of the Constitutional amendments by our state of the nationwide prohibition and woman's suffrage laws. Ninth am for a continuation of our state highway system and ,addi- tional good roads. Will also insist that the federal government build a system of good roads along the south ern boundary of the state, the same being in my judgment vital military necessity for our present and future i protection.
 | I believe that the full authority of the legislative and executive branches of the state government should be ex- ercised in the enactment and enforce ment of adequate laws for the pro- lection of life and property along the i Mexican border.
 | Tenth 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. Real izing our total unpreparedness when entering this worlds greatest of all wars. and knowing the necessity and ! importance of specialized training and advantages of same, l am in favor of additional appropriations and revenues 1 for our schools in order that we may give our boys and girls vocation, in dustrial and military training of the ! highest order.
 | Eleventh-As commissioner of the State Land Department, l have en- deavored to secure for the state the greatest amount of revenue consist ent with good business policy in the leasing and sale of the state and in stitutional lands. My report to the State Land Department will show the results achieved and 1 assure you that feel a great pride in this depart ment of state, and am in favor Of a continuation of the present broad con structive land policy.
 Twelfth-I am for legislation that will deal effectively with those peo- ple who in any way hamper or hinder
 our industrial, military and financial efforts to. speedily and effectively
 prosecute the war. There should be
 no temporizing or halfway measures.
 Our soldiers are in the trenches of
 fering their lives for a great and no
 ble cause, and we should as individuals
 and officials see that nothing IS lett
 undone and that there is no interter- enee in our efforts to back them up to
 the limit with our moral, financial and
 phvsical forces and insure us a speedy
 and complete victory.
 am heartily in favor of legislation
 extending the franchise to electors or
 the state of Arizona in the military and naval establishments of the Unit ed States, wherever they may be sta- toned. I submit the above for your earnest
 consideration and ask your support Respectfully, Adv- W. A. MOEUR-
