Favors Good Roads
Certainly am in favor of good
roads. l began the building of good
roads in this state. will continue
to build them. But the people will
be consulted on all good road con-
struction matters, as they are the
ones to pay the bills. And after the
good roads are built l wish to see
an efficient maintenance system pro,t
vided. 1t would be throwing away
money to build good road and then
not provide for its proper mainte-
nance. That is one of the things we
must give major attention. srS

In the future the state engineer
must consult with the directors of

law. That has not been done in the
past.
Endorese State Advertising

advertise in national publications the
resources and attractions of Arizona.
The climate of Arizona always has

best highways in Arizona that tuor.

The tourist will come and see and
then stay to invest and live. We
have more Indians In this state now
than any other state. The tourists
always like to see the picturesque
aborigines. Advertise the Indians
and bring the tourists. Our infinite
resources should, of course, be ad-
vertised. But what the readers of
the advertisement will remember
longest when reading a list Of our
resources is what the advertisements
say about the prolific olives and figs
and dates. There is mining and
stock raising, and dairy farming and
alfalfa and grain and Pima cotton
and cantaloupes and lettuce and all
kinds of vegetables that can be ad-

They should study the successful
