istratiOn has met every requirement.
ably and fearlessly, carrying out ev-
cry platform pledge, fulfilling every
prediction promise, and meeting ev-
cry need of proper organization and
administration of the affairs OF gov
eminent II has been mindful OF the
proper adjustment OF affairs between
producer and conshmer, of the rela-
tons between public service corpora
tons and the pubic, Of the respec-
tive rights of labor and capital and Of
the general development OF all lines
Of legitimate industry in which the
state is rich beyond compare.
We congratulate the democratic
upon Its uReEampled rec
ord of remedial Legislation, directed
toward the proper protection OF those
who labor and are heavy laden. a rec
ord of achievement which describes
more eloquently than any words, the
Arizona toward labor.
The democratic majority of the
Legislature has wisely submitted four
amendments for adoption. First, fore
most and most vital in principle and
in effect, is the provision for the re
call of the judiciary, Of which q Is-
publican president insolently Compel
ed the elimination from Arizona
Progressive Constitution, as a condi-
ton precedent to statehood. No long
er under this tyrannous power, we
pledge the party to support the ameni-
ment adopted by a democratic legis-
lature in fulfillment OF the pledge to
the people, replacing this provision in
the constitution in its original form,
and warning the people OF the aCtivl-
ties of corporate interests in the effort
to defeat this measure Of popular gov-
eminent, call upon all patriotic citi-
zens Of Arizona to rally to the vim
dicatiOn OF the states courage, patri-
otism and independence.
That taxation may be equaliZed
properly; that the rich and powerful
may not longer avoid the payment 0f
their just proportion OF the expense
Of the government Of the state, We
favor the adoption OF amendments to
the constitution giving wider latitude
to the powers OF the State Tax Com
mission.
We congratulate the people Of ATi-
iona upon the privilege given them
by our democratic state constitution
OF a full and free vote upon the CUES
ton OF Equal Suffrage at the next
election, and while we favor equal
suffrage, we recognize that the ques-
ton cannot be made test OF party
fealty.
We indorse the splendid service 10
the state and the nation, OF United
States Senators Mark Smith and
Henry F. Ashurst and Representative
in Congress Carl Hayden, and we par
ticularly commend TO the voters Of
this state the Honorable Carl Hayden
for reelection to congress; and espec-
tally indorse the action taken BY our
United States Senators to prevent the
confirmation of Richard E. Sloan as
federal judge OF Arizona.
We are in favor OF amendments 10
the National Reclamation Act which
will provide for an extension Of time
for the repayment OF the cost Of re-
clamation projects, The settlers
should not be required to bear the
expense of mistakes made by govern
ment officials. and we favor a tho--
ough Investigation of the expendi-
lures under any project before the
cost OF the same is finally determined.
In keeping with the democratic doc
trine OF local self government, we de-
mand that the management and op-
Grafton OF each reclamation proicce
be turned over to the water users Un-
der it at the earliest possible NOM
ent. and during the period Of coz
struction, and water users should be
consulted and their approval obtain
ed before any contracts are made
for the sale Of power or before any
change is made in the method Of dis-
tributing water. Each reclamation
homestead entryman should be per
mitted TO receive a patent for Inc
full area of his entry. We pledge
our senators and congressman 10 use
all honorable means TO secure the
passage OF these necessary changes
in the reclamation law.
