More from Robert Taft
In dealing with the courts, which are the cornerstone of good government, and in which not only the voters, but the nonvoters and nonresidents, have a deep interest as a security for their rights of life, liberty, and property, no matter what the future action of the State may be, it is necessary for the authority which is primarily responsible for its creation to assert in no doubtful tones the necessity for an independent and untrammeled judiciary.
Certainly we should proceed prudently in dealing with them upon the basis of ascertained facts rather than hastily and without knowledge to make a reduction of the tariff to satisfy a popular desire.

It is hereby ordered that the following-described land, to wit, the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter and the west half of the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of section 26, township 18 north of range 13 west of the Gila and Salt River meridian, be, and the same is hereby, reserved from entry, sale, settlement, or other disposition, for use of the Walapai Indians, subject to any valid, existing right of any person to the land described herein.
