HEARD STATES.
HIS PLAN FOR
DEVELOP
OF COLORADO

Prompt development of the Colorado
river under a practical, sane and SEN
sible plan that will preserve to Ari-
zona all of her rights to the waters of
the stream and at the same time pro-
duce more than $1,000,000 annually
for the treasury of the state through
a royalty or production tax for power
developed on the river and delivered
and used outside of the state was part
of the plan for a business administra-
tion of Arizona, presented to the cit
liens of Winslow by Dwight B. Heard,
republican candidate for governor, in
an address delivered last Friday eve
ming in the city hall.
The hall was crowded with people
who listened to Mr.. Heard with much
interest and close attention. Attorney
E. S. Clark of Prescott, who is we'll
known here, also made a brief adj
dress 49,
In presenting his plan for a bust
ness administration of the state Mr..
Heard declared that four large prob
lens confront Arizona today, which
fall under the following classes :,
Business administration, state devel-
opment, tax reduction, and straighten-
ing out of the Colorado river tangle,
substituting action and construction
for frictions and misunderstanding
The address closed with a number of
stereopticon views of the Colorado
river and the various dam sites along
the river, many Of the views being
made from pictures taken by the can
didate on recent trip to the river
LET us work together for Arizona
and develop the river for the benefit
of all the people, not for the private
profit of a few" he declared in pre-
senting the Heard plan for the early
development of the river.
Mr.. Heard spoke first on the trail
of service that he expects to put into
operation in the administration. OF the
affairs of the state if elected COVER
nor. He stated that it was as a buSl-
ness man and not as a politician that
he was making the race for governor
and asking the support of the people.
If elected Mr.. Heard declared that
he would assume office unpledged to
anyone to pay for political work with
office, but would enter office with his
hands united by promises so that he
might use only one yardStlck IN max
ing his appointments, on which the
character and training of the man or
woman will be measured to determine
their fitness for the job.
when / am governor, | will forget
that my home is in Maricopa county
and l will be governor for all of the
people, not any section of it, any group
of it. or any special interest in it" he
said, pointing out that no governor
should be controlled by factional
groups, special interests or political
machines A real business admins
tration, he said, must be free from
sectionalism and devoted to all OF the
varied interests of the state, the en-
couragement of settlement and invest
ment within the state, and the devel-
opment of the natural resources OF
which the Colorado river is the larg-
est, and one of the greatest power as
sets in the world.
The state, he said, needs the deyel-
opment of the budget system started
in 1919 by Thomas Campbell but which
is susceptible of much improvement
and development before it may be of
real service to the people in reducing
the expenditures of the governor. II
elected governor, he declared that he
would develop this system along the
same lines that it has been develop
ed by large business firms Under a
we'll developed budget system, he
pointed out, the expenditures of the
government will be cut to the small
est possible margin consistent with
efficiency and high standard of ser
vice. He spoke of the results of the
budget plan adopted by the federal
government.
The candidate made no promise to
reduce taxation, declaring that bus
mess man does not make promises
but substitutes therefor, real taxation,
pointing out that this can be done
through an efficient and economical
government, by the development OF the
budget system, by making the state SO
attractive that more people and cap
ital will be induced TO come in, and
last, by developing the natural re-
sources, especially the Colorado river
He presented a practical plan fcr
the continued development OF the state
highways under a sensible non-par-
tisan state highway commission that
would result in the reduction of the
unit costs. This would give policy
of continued road development for the
entire state.
THE constitution is the sheet-an-
chor of the nation, law enforcement
the protection of all citizens" he as
serted, declaring that he stood for the
