Among the numerous recommends
tions contained in the message was
that of amending the laws so that
any school district which fails to give
preference to teachers trained in Ari-

the legal code, state, county and mu-

families. Still another asked for re-
adjustment of the salaries of state
officials.

bond issue to provide an adequate
building program"

the last two campaign led Governor
Hunt to recommend that the legisla-
ture "give this subject very careful
consideration with view to strength
ening our laws against corrupt elec-
tion practices"
The per capita expenditures in the
last gubernatorial campaign in Ari-
zona were greater than those spent
