On his recent visit here Secretary
OF Commerce Herbert Hoover showed
great interest in the congress and
declared its plan Of organization the
finest type he had encountered. ex-
pressing the hope similar ''get to-
gether" organizations might be
formed in other states, said Mr.. Spills
bury. He then sketched the policies
OF the congress, especially in regard
to the Colorado river, for immediate
development of which the congress is
bending every effort.
Mr.. Spilsbury then told how the
congress had taken up the problem
Of taxation. and found that although
taxes may be cut temporarily they
necessarily increase with the devel-
opment of state. The only solution.
he declared, is to increase taxable as
sets and thus lower the unit tax or
tax rate. which after all Is the fun
damental problem.
The congress accordingly launched
It's Use Arizona Products campaign
as one of the most effective means
by which additional taxable assets
can be created, by increasing the con-
sumption and hence the production
of farm and manufactured products
of the state. This campaign has
brought producers. nliddlemen and
consumers together, working with d
common aim. and the results have
been reflected in every part of the
state.
'The congress is not creating any,
thing new. 1t is only bringing to-
gether existing organizations. afford
