GOVERNOR CAMPBELL OPENS CAMPAIGN IN THIS COUNTY

(Continued From Tage One)
 absolutely no protection from the state"
 "All of the big operators in this district were forced out of the state," said the governor. They had to go to Fl Paso to hold their con ferences because of the threats | against them. The National Guard came here at great expense and in timidated men who wanted to go to work. It cost the state about $75,- 900 to send them here and what good did they do?"
 Industrial Peace
 The governor spoke of the indus trial peace which immediately fol lowed his election-a peace which has continued ever since. He said: T never called out the National Guard in 1920 or 1921. There were no strikes. And in 1922 when the national railroad strike affected the Santa Fe to such an extent as to cause the sheriff of Navajo county to send in an urgent appeal for troops I sent Adjutant General In- gals there to investigate. He in sisted on the movement of trains with the result that the trainm en went back to work. It cost the state just S76.20 for his investigation and its valuable results, in settling diff culties promptly"
 Continuing the speaker pointed out that Greenlee county has received $S0,0G0 more than it has contributed for highways. The Mule Creek road 1 he said, has cost so far $12S,197 and it will take S50,000 more to con- plete. Aside from the transporta- tion value of this road, the improve ment has given employment when there was no work to be had in other industries, he said.
 There is no politics in our road department, declared the speaker .'The placing of l.. F. Sweeting, member of the Democratic party as employment agent for the highways | brought forth storm of criticism, not from the Democrats but from the Republicans, who claimed that we were discriminating against them in giving Mir. Sweeting the job. We are Republicans and Democrats by birtll-the majority of us-but we are American citizens first of all striving for a definite and perman- ent entity
 The publication of the official fig | ures showing the increased apprc- nriatiOns for administration affair, in the state for the year 1921, under Gov. Campbell, as compared with the appropriations made for state ad- ministration for the years 1917-1S when Hunt and Campbell divided the term, each serving one year each, drew from each of the candidates for re-eection a reference to the editorial as printed in the Copper Era last week. The figures showed an in- crease of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY PER CENT.
 Taking up the appropriation for the Governors office for the year 1921, which figure was SG2,0OO as com pared with S16,O00 during the Hunt administration of 1918, the Governor said:
 "In 1917-191S it is S1G,000.00 and m 1921 it is $32, 100000. Approximately that is an increase of 100%. As a matter of fact I think the appropria- tion was about s30,000.00. In that, there was included an item of $S 900 for new Department known as the Budget Department, which has been responsible for the present Finan- cial Code under which we are now working-is responsible for the first time in this state, that we might know how money was being spent in the various departments, and if the Legislature in 1919 had given me a budget law like I wanted with some teeth in it, it would hardly have been necessary to have special
 
 Furthermore there is expense of pro- | clamations, of elections, holidays, etc More than that. and strange as it l may seem, when I came into office in 1919, with 6 months yet to go of that particular fiscal year, found every fund in the Governors office, except the salary of the Governor and the Secretary's salary, exhausted, and 6 months yet to go; and I also found a letter, from the Governors Secre- tary addressed to the Appropriation Committee that vas shortly going to convene. a copy of which I have here, in which he states (Reading) Tn accordance with your letter of December 2 last, the appropriations required for the maintenance of this l department is submitted as follows: | Contingent expense, S2 900 co: Elm ergency appropriation, $150O.00." In other words, after spending the en- l tire appropriation for that office for a | year in the first six months-because you will understand the State does l business on fiscal year. The Secretary to the Governor then says it will take $4,500.00 and then | he goes on: &which does not include the cost of proclamation nor the expense of the budget; and more than that there is no explanation why this money was expended; and, in cidentally, while I am on that par ticular period-1919-,all the appro- priations made by the Legislature in 1917-1918 were exhausted-all of them-for every department-for every institution under the Governor and requisition was made for S45S,- 2S7 @ to carry on the business, and these figures were taken from the records or reports of the State Audi
