The Winslow mail., 1924-07-11

In particular I shall ask for the con-
structiOn of state cement plant to be
operated by prison labor, as outlined
in my message to the last legislature.
At the last legislature l caused a
bill to be introduced for the deporta-
tion of all non-citizens of the state of
Arizona who were committed to the
state insane asylum. 1t failed to pass
still favor the adoption of this policy
and will so recommend in the next
budget. At the prison we have been
following the policy of deporting all
aliens upon the expiration of their
sentences or at the time of parole.
Highway Department
My policy, as far as the highway
department is concerned, is to main
tain or present highways in the best
possible manner; to match federal aid
funds made available by congress for
the state of Arizona and to build such
connecting links as will contribute to
the greater efficiency of the highway
system of the state. I shall advocate
the policy of considering the state
highways as a unit rather than in
fourteen subdivisions.
State Examiner
Upon my recommendation the sixth
legislature increased the appropria-
ton to provide for additional deputies
for the state examiners office 1t is
the first time since statehood that the
county officers have had their ac-
counts examined as provided by law.
AS result of this policy savings
have been made in the administrations
of the affairs of several counties, and
the way pointed for additional econ
omies in the future, as we'll as many
leaks having been discovered and
stopped I favor extending the au
thority of the state examiner by CIV
ing him authority to audit the ac-
counts of school districts.
State Auditor
The law provides that the state
auditor shall audit the accounts of all
state officials. I shall advocate addi-
tional appropriations to be made for
the auditors office to enable him to
employ additional help to carry out
this provision of the law
Banking
One of the pledges I made during
the last campaign was to enforce the
banking laws of the state of Arizona.
This pledge has been fulfilled. One
of the issues of the last campaign re-
volved around the administration of
the affairs of the Central Bank of
Arizona. I made q request upon the
governor of Kansas for the extradi-
tion of P. K. Lewis, former president
of the Central bank, but the author
tiles of the state were not successful
in apprehending him. I then offered
a reward of $500, which is the maxi
mum allowed by law, for the arrest
of P. K Lewis I promise continu-
alton of present policies in this de-
partment.
Public Health
This department of our government
is becoming one of the most impOr-
tant in the state The influx of aliens
who are unaccustomed to modern san
itary methods, is responsible for sew
eral epidemics of disease, especially
smallpox. I favor the extension of
our public health program, especially
into preventive work as to children
This work will probably be costly, but
the indirect return from it will be
one hundred fold.
ChlId LABOR
The congress of the United States
has submitted a proposal to amend
the constitution of the United States
to provide that congress regulate the
employment of children. I favor the
approval of this amendment by the
state of Arizona.
Constitutional Rights
When the constitution of the United
States was drafted all races, classes.
religions and creeds were represented
and cared for in that great document
of human liberty. 1t was never in
tended that any religion Or race
should be prosecuted by any group of
people or organization. Freedom to
worship God. in any manner they
choose was guaranteed and life. lib
erty and pursuit of happiness were
endowed to all citizens without any
