81 cents and Sc cents.
But, Mr.. Heard pointed out, even
that did not tell the full story.
Whereas the Campbell tax unit STOOD
for something, the Hunt figure is
meaningless. Not only has nothing
been done to require this much money
but good deal more money has been
raised by indirect taxes, which Hunt
overlooks in hurling roses at his rec
ord. Hunt bequeathed Campbell a
deficit of 1912, 1000 in 1921. Moreover,
during that year under Campbell's
administration, the legislature had to
appropriate $500,000 extra to pay fol
some roads Hunt had built and left
unpaid for when he was left off the
state payroll.
Nearly a million dollars more was
collected in the form of a, gasoline
tax to be spent by Mr.. Hunt. The
inheritance tax, which was started by
republican and first applied this
term under Hunt, has put another
100000 into the state treasury thai
doesn't have to be raised directly from
the people. The motor license re-
ceipts have grown another 100000
all these sums being placed at the dis
posal of the Hunt regime, which at
tempts to claim its economies have
reduced taxes.
Between 1913 and 1923 the taxes
collected from the people for state,
county, city and district purposes have
grown from $4,800,000 a year to $14,-
500, 900. Some of this growth has
been due to the normal expansion of
business, Mr.. Heard said. What he
wished to do about it was to take up
the lost motion, tighten the joints and
make the tax dollar go farther than
it does now.
This, he said, can be done by the
application of thrift, work and com
mon sense.

BANKERS ENDORSE
INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS

Declaring that work of the Arizona
Industrial congress is of benefit to all
citizens of the state, members of the
Arizona Bankers association pledged
themselves to continued support of the
congress and its "Trade at Home" and
"Use Arizona Products" campaigns in
resolution adopted by the associa-
ton at its annual convention in Pres
colt last Saturday. The resolution
follows:
whereas, The Arizona Industrial
congress is an organization supported
and encouraged by Arizona indus
tries, and the record of its achieve
ments since its inception has resulted
in benefit to the state of Arizona; and
Whereas, The banks of the state of
Arizona have, in the past, lent their
support and full endorsements to the
Arizona Industrial congress and the
movements and principles fostered
and developed by it;
"Be it therefore resolved, That this
association continue its financial and
moral support and lend every effort
to the Arizona Industrial congress to
continue its methods and further its
achievements, as it is recognized that
the benefits derived therefrom are Of
value to the state of Arizona and all
taxpayers and residents thereof; and
"Be it further resolved, That the
principle of trading at home and of
the sale and purchase of Arizona ar
ticles and products, as prescribed and
recommended by the Arizona Indus
trial congress, be supported and en-
couraged by all the banks of this as
sociation."

oped its power so that now with only
1000 horsepower. it is enjoying a
evenue that perm It's the distribution
of free irrigation water to the farm
ers of 100000 acre of Salt river land.
This revenue is 100000 a year and
will pay for the d am and canals and
everything else ant in time return fat
profits to the shareholders-the actual
land-owning farmers of the valley.
The first of the possible seven
dams on the C dorado in Arizona
would cost $49,5O0, 900, but Mr.. Heard
had worked out a proposition in con-
ferences with Secu cary Hoover, Judge
Joseph H. Kibbey, the great authority
on irrigation law, and others of engi-
neering and. techn cal experience for
the joining of for les of the govern
ment, the states Interested and the
cities to derive benefits, SO that the
cost would be redu led to very small
figure. The power revenue from a
dam like this at only a cents kilo-
watt on exported electricity would be
( 81 100000 year and would grow up
to $4,000,000 year. At the same
time power could be delivered at the
switchboard at total cost of one
third of cent kilowatt hour. This.
meant the encours ging of great M.
dustries, employing many men and
sharing the states tax burden while
increasing its wealth; it meant that in
the home, the housewife could depend
on cheap power to do much of the
work that is now plain drudgery. 1T
means happier, more contented peo-
pie.
1t pleased the speaker to be able toI
claim truthfully that he had made1
and kept the single pledge of his pri-
mary campaign, and that was to gol
before the people as the nominee of
the republican party, and If elected to
go into the governors office without
recognizing political debt to anyl
man, faction or geographical section.
He deemed the job of governor one
to be elevated above the petty partisan
politics which has proved so pestifer- |
Gus in the past. He realized that to
do otherwise would be to hamper him
self when it came time for him to be-
gin the labor he courts as chief exc
cutive, for only in service can salts !
faction be found.
He said he never dipped his hand
in mud, but when his opponent went
up and down the state making proud
but false statements regarding his re-
ductien of taxes, he found it neces-
sary to remind his hearers that mere
glance at their tax bills now and twol
years ago would show the truth. The
tax rate under Tom Campbell the last
year he was in office was 81 cents.

Judgment of a Heard to freShen the
stale atmosphere of petty politics
which has surrounded almost every
consideration of the Colorado river
question since that matter was thrust
into the realm of controversy by Gov

Arizona would lose its heritage and be
a victim of an Asiatic menace if the
pact were accepted.
Dwight B. Heard's smashingly clear
presentation of the Colorado river
question at Prescott Monday nfght
reused the large audience at the Elk
theater to a new sense of the posi-
bilities Of the most important eco,
nomic development program ever out
lined for state. He passed the mat
ter of Governor Hunts balky attitude
toward the pact to his hearers with
out malice, but with great effect.
Asking what the governor had ever
done about the Colorado river, Mr.
Heard replied in terms SO specific and
convincing that he made the strong
est impression of his speech. He told
of the one thing Hunt had done-to
appoint commission, which studie4

Washington, and then made an elabor-

proposal in the report was for the con-

Arizona would lose its heritage and
would be menaced by a Japanese
colony. Golfer and Maxwell, said the
speaker, were employed by the COVER

into voting against the pact.

$2,400,000 surveying the possibilities
