Like NJ. Jones speech the talk OF MI Sl'nmS was
polnCeu ana clearly CUilclSe. he mnceQ no WOrOSs
and accused the governor fatty OF double dealing.
rllst ne gave atUenllon TO House Bill NO 6O-tne
measure wien removed restrictions upon leasing
grazlng LANES 60 cattemen. UnGer the law originally
adopted there was restriction. There had arisen
a demand tor It's remavai Governor CampDeA uau
expressed himself IN favor OF some sucn measure
AIUer the Legislature had convened House Blu NO.
90 was drawn by some OF those INTERESTED, anu ne,
fore its ntrJduc0n into the House it was submitted
to Governor Campbell He commended it warmly,
and promised executive approval when 1t should come
before MIN officially.
AS drawn House Bill No. 90 passed both House
and Senate with little opposition, and was sent 10 the
executive chamber for executive approval.
In the meantime protest hao been signed Dy
few busvboClies and forwarded to Governor Camp
bell. That gave the governor cold feet He feared
to approve the bill lest he offend the protestants Us
what MIR. SImms Suggested IN bus speacn, Weones
day evening" and he feared to veto it In face OF nus
promise to approve So he took advantage OF the 1act
that it came to him near the close Of he session. and
he let it become law by filing it with the Secretary OF
State within ten days afer adjournment OF the Aegs
lature
Now. said MIR Smms, Governor Campbell says
the land leasing bill is fraud upon the people Oh
Arizona "Then why did he not veto it when it was
his hands to do so; or why did he not condemn 1t
when submitted to him for his opinion before Its IN
PRODUCTION into the House?" was the cogen+ inquiry
Of Mr.. Simrcs;
Another point made by MIR. Simms was an elega-
ton bv Governor Campbell was that the Land Com
mission had sold lend in the Casa Grande Valley at
$3.50 per acre. That said MIR. Simms, was In l9lI,
under former administration Of the affairs OF Arr
iona by Governor Campbell, when Mr.. SiEan1s was
not memttr of the Land Commission and Campbell
was member and chairman of thatbody.
Anothe. charge made by Governor Campbell,
ventilated by Mr.. Simms, was that the Land Com
mission lea ses grazing lands at three cents per acre,
with contract to sell at So per 1t is true that
such lands ore leased at three cents per acre; but
but there is no contract for their sale. Governor
Campbell knows that the Commission cannot give
options to SELL Al land sales must be to the highest
bidder afte: due advertisement
Anothey of CampbelPs charges riddled by Simms
was an ass artion that he had saved the state $780,
600 upon the cost Of running certain state instu-
TONS AS they cost but $138000 under the Hunt adj
inistratio1, and cannot be for $38OOO it plain
that the governors figures are out Of Joint there.
Mr.. Sin1ms gave attention to the State Highway
Department. stating that Tom Maddox State En-
gineer, had expended 100000 on highways, and
the money Mr. Simms said he regards Tom Mad
promised removal of that gentleman as one Of the
first of his ,fficiai acts, next January.
