CFrom Saturdays Daily)
 Arizona is seen as the coming com of the southwest by Judge Samuel White, formerly Of Portland, Ore, and now of Phoenix. Judge White, who during the war was connected with the department of the United States judge advocate general at San Francisco, is passing the summer months in Prescott, ac- companied by Mrs. White. He left the government service last Novem- Der, deciding to locate in Arizona, attracted by the climatic advantages and the great future of this state.
 A Healthy Baby
 Arizona may be the baby state" he said last night to representative of the Journal-Miner, but it's a mighty healthy baby"
 That Arizona's future among the commonwealths of the southwest IS great, is the belief of Judge White, who anticipates a speedy recovery in this state from the present depres- sion. Arizona, he believes, has the resources and the population which go to make a great state.
 Your people," he said last night, "are nearly perfect example of an American population. They are big hearted, democratic, hospitable, in dustrious. And you have the re- sources"
 Arizona's Cities
 Arizona's cities, Judge White pointed out, are the reverse of big industrial centers with little back ground of population. He gave as an example, Phoenix, where popu- lation of 10000 people reside in a city surrounded by a county popula- ton of 5000. This, he said, indi- cates that the city possesses a rich background. Other Arizona cities, Tucson and Douglas; Bisbee, Globe and Prescott, with populations of 5000; Flagstaff with over 4,OOO, are scattered over the state at distances to indicate stability and the exist ence of valuable resources i'll every section.
 Prescott appeals to Judge White as one of the finest summer resorts on the wosld, with a climate un- matchable in this part of the country.
 Prescott Finest Resort
 "There are but two criticims l would make of the state," he said; they are the need for a first-class highway system, and more advertis- ing. The real Arizona is very little known outside the state. At Pres colt you have one of the most de lightful climates of the world, and 1t should be advertised. Thousands of people, if they knew of this city, would come here for the summer. You would attract visitors from the hot climates of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and New Mexico, and also thousands from the low attitudes along the California coast. The Cali fornia towns are hot, and those peo pie would be glad to come here to the mountains for the summers"
 The need of good roads in Arizona as one of the chief assets of mod ern and rapidly-developing common wealth was stressed by Judge White, who touched on not only the finan- cial returns to the state from large tourist traffic, but the possibility of adding to its population from the travellers with Arizona and its re- sources. "A highway from east to west through Arizona is needed" he said. No state in this age can be entirely prosperous and up-to-date without system of good roads,"
 Sees Speedy Recovery
 That Arizona will soon recover from the present financial depression is Judge Whites firm conviction. Since coming here he has been at pains to acquaint himself with condi- tions and possibilities of the state. Arizona will be one of the first states to recover,% he said, and in brief review of conditions in the prin- cipal industries of the state, showed the trend to better times.
