c. o. Case, candidate for reelection
as state superintendent of schools, was
the first speaker OF the evening. Su
perintendent Case devoted most Of his
talk to the schools of the state, during
which he said: "During the past few
years this state has risen from the
bottom to the very top as an educa-
tional state and the democratic party
takes pride in pointing to the progress
made by the schools Of the state under
its administration.
1T is the policy of the democratic
party to educate all the children of the
state, with equal rights to all. The
maintenance Oh ScnOOlS WAS once COLI
Quoted like passing the hat, but the
democratic parry, by adopting business
methods, has arranged to support them
i'll businesslike manner. The policy
of the party toward the schools has
always been generous, but never
wasteful.
"An outstanding feature of our state
school system today is the close inti-
macy that noW,I exists between the
school and the home. 1or which we owe
thanks to the Parent-Teacher associaz
ton. The ex-service men have also
had an important part in this improve
ment by their efforts in helping to
teach ph hysical education in the
schools"
Loren Vaughn, candidate for re-
election as corporation commissioner,
in his address referred to the issue of
high taxes as brought up by the re-
publican candidates. THE only way
I to consider taxes is by comparison"
he stated. What might be a high tax
in one locality might be comparatively
low in another. Don't be satisfied with
genera1ities when candidate tells you
he intends to lower taxes Make him
he intends to lower them
Arizona is new state, and like all
new states, it is building 1t is build
ing roads, schools and homes. Ali
these cost money, and money must
come through taxation. You people
want these things, else you would not
vote the bonds. This is a six-cylinder
age, and we are getting somewhere.
We are getting the schools and roads
for the state, just as you are building
your homes"
In conclusion, Commissioner Vaughn
spoke upon the work of the corpora i
ton commission, of which he is chair
man. He stated that this commission
now handles seven distinct depart |
ments which, in many states, are alli
separate departments. This is done !
for the sake of economy, and it GER !
tainly does not Indicate that the pres
ent administration is wasteful of its
finds" he stated. Vaughn spoke with
pride of the fact that the formerly !
lived in Douglas and thanked the peo-
pie for the splendid vote given him in
the past. Politics is a profession |
within itself" he stated. 1--WE do not
claim perfection, but to approach per-
fection-is our aim"
Tom G. Foster, candidate for re-
election as state mine inspector, was
the last speaker to prccede Governor |
Hunt and he made a remarkably i
strong address. Foster made an i'm
pressiye talk on behalf of the entire
democratic party, with particular
reference to Carl Hayden, candidate |
las, candidate for congress. In part, |
Foster said:
when Arizona became a state, !
she selected a brilliant and able man I
for congress, who has served her
capabiy ever since. l refer to Carl J
Hayden, who has done more for Ari- /
Zona than he has been given credit
FOR doing. If we are to believe the
signboards and posters throughout
the state, all Arizona has gotten has
been secured by Ralph Cameron.
There are two legislative bodies
composing congress-, the senate ani
the house If Cameron wants to take
credit for getting these things
through the senate, he might at
least admit that Carl Hayden helped
put them through the house"
Concerning the office OF state mine
inspector, which he has held for
three and one-half years, Foster de-
clared that the mining industry is
the greatest industry in the state, !
and that a man, 10 fill the office OF
mine Inspector must keep abreast
OF the times. "As state mine in !
spector can point with pride OF
the splendid harmony that exists be |
tween employers and employees in the
