 profession and who had served the people of the county faithfully anC efficiently as a member of the judic, iary.
 MT. Salisbury dwelt at some lengtf upon the aims, objects and accomplish. ments of the Arizona Industrial Con. ,gress, stating that while it had beer functioning for less than two months lt/ had nevertheless already accom-. ,plished much good for the industries of the State. With a membership al. ready exceeding 1000, and with the organization steadily growing in pop ular favor, he believed it would soon be the most potent factor in the State for advancing the industries of the State. "The Arizona Industrial Con- gress," said he, "is based upon eff cient service, backed by successful men, and is therefore certain to achieve its aims and purposes" The speaker spoke with emphasis upon the great financial benefit that would accrue to the people of the state as whole by their support and endorsement of Arizona grown and Arizona manufactured products. A generous support of Arizona indus tries would, he stated, be followed by very appreciable reduction in the tax rate of the State. To illustrate this point he cited the case of one of the large mining corporations of the State that is now paying in taxes ap- proximately $6OO,OOO a year. This corporation has been shown, the speaker stated, that by patronizing home industries it would make a net saving in taxes of $6O,0OO a year. This fact, he believed, was in itself sufficient guarantee of the tax sav- ing which would accrue to the people of the state as whole.
 The mining company in question is now using so far as possible the pro- ducts of Arizona farms, ranges and manufacturing plants, including print ing, to the exclusion of goods from outside points, and is, according to the speaker, doing so at saving in cost. Other instances were cited by MT. Salisbury bearing upon the sue cess of this plan in other lines of en- deavor in the state.
 The influence and usefulness of the Arizona Industrial Congress extends to all phases of industrial effort in the State and each receives its proper recognition and due. For instance, in the matter of the extra session of the Legislature called for the 18th of this month, the speaker stated that the directorate of the Arizona Industrial Congress has held a conference with Governor Campbell and had been con- vinced that such a session is neces- sary; if for no other reason than to provide for the $300,000 deficit in the budget of the University of Arizona. If some provision is not made to care for this deficit, the University, stated the speaker, will be forced to close its doors within a few weeks.
 In this connection he made the very startling statement that it is costing more for the people of Arizona to ed ucate their young men and women at the State University than it would to send all of them to either Harvard or Yale. It had been suggested, he stat ed, that a portion of this expense be done away with by reducing the sal aries of instructors, and in that con- nection said that the same sugges- tion had been made regarding the school curriculum of the State as a whole. The directors of the Arizona Industrial Congress are not, however, in favor of cutting salaries if a cur tailment of expenses can be made in other ways.
 He had been assured, he stated, that the Board of Regents of the Un- iversity would so pare down other ex- penses that a cut in salaries would not be necessary. The State Board of
