ready under way to stimulate demand for Arizona products.
 Campai0n Gets Results

1 Thirty days after this campaign
 was started a creamery in Maricopa
 county reported that it's sales of but
 ter had increased 100 per cent, and
 it offered to assist materially in the
 campaign.
 Another similar instance occurred
 in CoconinO county. Although it is
 not generally known, Coconino pro-
 duces large quantities of potatoes. | While of an excellent variety, there was little demand for this crop. The
 conference arranged a meeting be-
 tween Coconino potato growers and
 Maricopa county merchants. As a
 result the entire crop was disposed
 Of in MaricOpa county. In turn, Coco
 nino county increased it's market for
 Maricopa butter. Both industries
 were stimplated by the campaign for , Arizona products.
 { Salt River Valley farmers produc- 1 ed annually amout 3,000,0O0 pounds
 of wheat. They complained that
 Maricopa county millers were buying
 outside wheat. The industrial con- ., ference became interested in this sit
 uation and, as a result, the millers | paid the Salt River Valley farmers
 a good, fair price for their wheat. i Governor Asks Support
 '11 addition to endeavoring TO pro-
 mote cooperation in industrial acti-
 vities, the industrial conference is at
 present compiling some statistics on
 state expenditures. These will soon be made public and I am sure that,
 after the light of publicity has been , turned on them, some economies in state government can be effected. "When the conference directors met in Tucson on January 8 they | were addressed by Governor Camp bell. The governor stated that he i had decided a special session Of the | legislature was necessary Unless
 financial relief was provided, he said, the university would soon be forced i to close it's doors. He asked the con- | ference to get behind the special ses- | sion of the legislature In addition
 to urging assistance for the state uni versity, Governor Campbell outlined 1 three other matters that he planned 1 to bring before the special session: revision of the 1922-23 appropriations ! with the intention of reducing them
 at least half million dollars bank ! ing code that would protect the state 1 from losses such as were suffered in some instances during the last year | ard revision of the present fiscal 1 code to permit the transfer Of state [ funds from one department to anoth- 1 CT. This last change, the governor I explained, would do away with the | necessity of paving interest on war
 rants for one department of the state | administration while other state mon- ey was on deposit in banks and draw l ing less interest than that paid on outstanding warrants.
 After hearing the governor out | lining his plans, the industrial con- | ference endorsed the special session. At this Tucson meeting the direct
 ors of the conference also discussed
 the proposal to call constitutional l convention for the revision of some | clauses of the constitution that are
 now out of date and practically use | less. It was decided, however, that !. such meeting would entail consider able expense and the plan was aban- | doned. Instead, the conference
 agreed to submit to the special ses sion of the legislature several amend | ments.
 FaVors Amendments
 1 have outlined, briefly the pur- poses of the industrial conference. Those are the orlly purposes and aims of the conference. Co-operation of industry, development of Arizona
 and economy in government are the, | goals that the conference hopes toI achieve. And it is hopeful that the | present legislative session will result in the saving of d considerable &lmI to the state.
 Now, as to the amendments to the
 constitution that we believe are best for the entire state: We favor a change in the initiative and referen-
 dunn. Under the present law an in | itiated measure becomes a law if a | majority of the votes cast on it favor 1 it. We believe that to become q law I an initiated measure should have al | majority of all votes cast at the elec- | tiOn
 Second: The present laws provide that the state may incu: bonded indebtedness of only $35O,OOO. Since l that limit was placed, Arizona has ad-
 vanced rapidly. The industrial con- | ference believes that amount of bond. cd indebtedness allowed should be increased to 4 per cent of the total ! assessed valuation of the state, and
 also that only owners Of real proper ty be entitled on any measures i1- Volving q bond issue.
 "The third proposed amendment ! would take the office of state super l intendent Of schools from the elect l i've list, to conform with the plan for the appointment by the governor of q state board of education, and thel appointment of state school super. | intendcnt by this board
 "The fourth amendment supported by the conference. and this is theI only one that appears to have any connection with politics, would leave to tbc state legislature the power lol regulate the primary election. Thcl present primary system is little less than a joke Pleads For Cooperation Those are the amendments the
 conference has suggested, and we hope the legislature will order them |
