ARIzONA'S FIGHTING GOVERNOR.
ADDRESSES NOCALES VOTERS

Driving home his remarks in a
very vigorous manner, Gov.
George w. P. Hunt, candidate for
reelection, Monday night at the
Lyric Theater delivered the warm
est political speech heard in this
city in many years. And the
crowd that heard the peoples
champion was the largest and
most enthusiastic at a political
gathering here this campaign.
scussing California's scheme
to steal the Colorado river, Gov.
Hunt said that he would fight for
the protection of Arizona's rights
until the river froze over and
would continue then to fight on
the ice. He stated that Califor-
MIA can have water from the Colo
RADIO river only so long as they
pay for it. He raped the Cali
fornians for calling Arizonans
"desert rats" and he made it
plain that so long as he is Gov
ernor, California is not going to
"put anything over on Ari-
zona."
No Alliance
Gov. Hunt denied connection
with an alleged alliance with a
Republican candidate for Senator.
"l'm a Democrat, and can assure
Nogales international., 1926-10-31

you there is no such alliance
said the Governor as he replied
to a report that has been placed
in circulation by the Governors
political opponents. Such re-
port apparently got started be
cause the Miami Silver-Belt is
supporting Hunt for Governor,
and the Republican nominee for
United States Senator.
Touching on taxation the Gov
ernor said that out of every dol
lar paid in taxes, &c 2-3 cents
goes to the upkeep Of roads and
maintenance of schols.
He said that he was one Of
"the father of Santa Cruz Coun-
ty,' having helped to create it,
and jokingly replied to "the child"
(Santa Cruz County, forgetting
about it's father at the Septem-
ber primary.
The Governor was intro duced
to the audience by Judge w. A.
O'Connor who among other things
told of what Gov. Hunt has done
for labor and said that this is one
of the reasons why Hunt cannot
be beaten.
Judge O'Connor, just before
introducing Gov. Hunt, stated
Nogales international., 1926-10-31

that the issue of the Los An
geles Times reaching here Mon
day declared that Senators Cam
eron of Arizona and Harold OF
Oklahoma have no chance in the
world of being reelected next
Tuesday. The Times is a dyed
in-the-wool Republican paper.
O'Connor referred to Ralph Cam.
eron as "Prom sing Ralph" and
said that Cameron has promised
everything.
The judge announced to the
audience that Senator Ashurst
was unable to keep his speaking
engagement here last night on
account of his throat having gone
back on him at Wilcox a few
days ago.
Foster An Orator
The "semi-final" speech of the
evening was made by Tom Fos-
ter, candidate for mine inspector,
and it was a good one too, in fact,
90 percent of the crowd did not
know until last night that the
popular mine inspector is a real
orator. He "tells 'e1n" straight
from the shoulder and has the
voice of a William Jennings
Bryan.
Foster urged the election of
the entire Democratic ticket and
particularly impressed upon the
crowd the Importance of voting
for Carl Hayden. Hayden is
admired and beloved in Washing
ton and is power among his col
leagues. Hayden has no big post

The Major also stated that hs

Half million dollars additional tax

that. He is not the unscrupulous

Other hot shots in Fosters
speech were: "The initial work
OH the San Carlos dam was done
by Hayden and Ashurst. ''There
will be no more tariff on cotton
till new president is elected in
1922. Hayden pigeon-holed the
Swing-J ohnson bill". "Vote the
straight. Democratic ticket, don't
let anyone swerve you from your
path of duty"
Case And Vaughn Speak
Other speakers during the eve
ming were C. o. Case, candidate
for reelection as state superinten-
dent Of public instruction; and
Loren Vaughn, candidate for re-
election as corporation commits
s:oner.
Case told of the great work the
Democratic party has done for
the schools of this state and said
that today Arizona's schools are
among the best in the United
States. He said that the Demo
cratic platform promises to help
the Parent Teachers Association
and that the party also goes on
record pledging support to CO.

gon in teaching patriotism in the

Hov No. 3O4-5 Would Injure
Business Bv Gripping
TRANSFORMATION

Under this bill, motor stage
would pay $54 tax on one round trip
between Phoenix and Yuma-often more
than the total fares paid by its passengersl
The cost Of operating the motor stage
is $8ll per month. The tax would be
1922 per month";
The total gross earnings of motor
stage is 8 cents per mile. The proposed
tax is about 4 cents per mileI 1t is as
simple as A.B.C. that fares must be
doubled-that motor stage lines must
cease operation - business halt - land
values go down-all state revenue from
this point be cut off.

the goose that lays the golden eggs.

We discovered clerical error in
the text of Bill No. 3O4-5, by which the

defeat the measure. as it will mean that

Arizona leads the West in its efficient

factor has been of untold value in the

would be as destructive as dynamiting

Arizona Good Roads
Association
Asks People to Vote Against
Bill 1t Once Sponsored


AT a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Arizona Good Roads
Association it was decided to issue this
statement asking the voters generally, to
vote against the Associations Highway
Bill, 304-305. for the following reasons:
In the haste Of the last few days of
work on the Bill j number of errors and
omissions were made which were not dis
covered until after the Bill was submitted
with its signatures to the Secretary Of
State and then it was too late to make
changes 1t has been brought out that
the Bill is unfair, in some respects. to the
transportation industry of the state. and
the Association does not wish to be unfair
to any of our industries.
In view of the above conditions, the
Directors of the Arizona Good Roads
Association, an organization which has
for fifteen years been working for the
fecting the system of highways and high
way legislation, is asking the people to
vote against it's own Bill and is directing
its legislation committee to appear before
the Legislature as soon as it is formed to
work out better measure.

community, where the law, If enacted
will be administered and for whose
benefit it Is framed, but those of other
cities, with their own favored plans
for the assistance of mothers.
One particular plan has been ad-
Vanced as substitute for the local
bill, and the Representatives in Con
gress from the States from which it
emanated have been solicited to eff
feet this substitution. There are diff
ferences between the two measures.
That which has been submitted by the
commissioners, the product of long
consideration by the public welfare
commission created by the Commits
sloners, Is suited to this particular
local situation. 1t meets the views of
welfare organizations at work here.
1t provides for an administration of
the law consistent with local condi-
lions. 1t is a District bill, framed
by District people for District appli-
cation.
1t is discouraging to Washingto-
mans who seek constructive legisla-
ton to find their efforts in prepare
ton belittled and thwarted by the in
tervention of others with their own
favorite projects which, perhaps work
ing we'll in their communities. are not
necessarily adapted to this 1t is dis
heartening to forward looking resi-
dents of the Capital who aspire to put
welfare measures into operation here
to correct local ills and to make Wash
ington a model, to find 1t exploited as
an experiment ground for all sorts of
schemes and ideas favored elsewhere.
Good faith demands that considera-
ton be given first to those local meas
ures which reflect the public senti
ment of this community, in conform
fty with the congressional require
ment of agreement. In this case
Washington has agreed upon a meas
ure which promises to work satisfac-
torily and for which an undivided SEN
timent prevails. 1t should be given
that measure and that only. and not
be forced to accept something else, a
substitute of any kind, however we'll

heed to the advocates of a substitute,

ton which will prevent suffering and

actually determine the much mooted
nor did II give an indication of the
| Senate's sentiment on the World
| Court, Mr.. Nye's opposition to which
won him enough votes to win his seat,
Just prior to the taking of the vote 1t
| was generally accepted that there was
a considerable majority against his
seating, on the ground that he is not
a State officer within the meaning of
the law. Suddenly a change occurred,
and 1t. conceded with his outspoken
expression of opposition to the World
Court protocol, now pending. The
coincidence destroys the value of the
vote as a definite determination of the
question of senatorial status.
This matter of the status of mem
bers of the House and Senate has
often been discussed by legislators and
jurists. Varying decisions have been
rendered by the courts. In the recent
debate able arguments were advanced
on both sides. From the SenateS
present decision no appeal can be
taken to the court, for that body is
the sole Judge" of it's membership.
Thus as far as judicial determination
goes, the question remains unanswer-
ed, despite the seating of Mr.. Nye.
And the fact stands that when he was
declared to be entitled to his seat the
oath of office was administered, not by
an official of the State Of which he
had just been declared to be an officer
but by the Vice President of the
United States. His salary will be paid
by the United States. He will, as
Senator, participate in the enactment
Of Federal laws. He viii have moth
ing whatever to do with the official
business of his State, and will have
no voice in the enactment Of its laws.
His immunity from molestation Is dur
ing his presence in Washington, not
the capital of his State. His freedom
of speech is enjoyed only here, while
speaking in his place as United
States Senator" Yet by a margin OF
two votes the Senate has declared him
to be a State officer" within the
meaning OF the North Dakota provi-
sion of law that enables the governor
to appoint such officers in an emer-
sency. The vote of yesterday results
in a paradox, which will remain prob
ably as long as political eXpediency
rather than logic determines the ques-

Traffic Recommendations.

Although rejecting that portion of
the traffic report approving increased
powers for Traffic Director Eldridge,
the Washington Board of Trade last
night placed itself on record as favor
ing several highly desirable changes
in the regulation of motor vehicles
and pedestrians in the District.
Right-hand turns on the green au-
tomato signal lights were scored as
interfering with legitimate pedestria n
traffic, and it was recommended that
the right turn be made only on the
red signal. This change should be
made at once on both Sixteenth street
and Massachusetts avenue, where the
new automatic lights have been ir-
stalled II will prevent interruption
in no way with the general flow of
traffic.
Left-hand turns on G and F streets
between Ninth and Fourteenth were
also condemned. Traffic on these main
shopping thoroughfares has become
so heavy that it is obvious that de-
layed turns of this nature must be
eliminated. Traffic Director Eldridge
should carefully consider this sug-
gestion.
Patrolmeu of the police force We're
cited as falling to enforce the traffic
regulations. There is no quicker way
to breed public contempt for laws
than to allow the public to violate
them with impunity. Rigid enforce
ment should be the rule throughout
the entire department, and II this
program is intellectually entered
into by the patrolmen themselves,
Washington will Immediately begin to
show Improvement in it's automobile
manners.
Use of all revenues from motorists
for the maintenance of the Traffic
Bureau and the purchase and install
lation of traffic signals was approved
by the Board Of Trade. The need Of
funds for the painting Of white lines,
the erection Of stop" signals at boule-
ward highways, the buying OF addi-
tional automatic lights and the gen.
eraI maintenance OF the bureau is
apparent. The markings on the streets
have been allowed to fade because of
the lack Of money and there have
never been enough funds in the Gus
tody of Director Eldridge to buy the
stop signals.
1t is unfortunate that the board
failed to approve the bill now in Con-
gress for increased powers for the
traffic director. He Is laborinS under
severe handicaps, which If not re-
moved will defeat the entire purpose
of the traffic code. No matter what
regulations he makes for the i'm
provement of traffic conditions in
the District, and no matter how pop
ular or unpopular these regulations
may be with the general public, little
betterment can be expected as long as
he is compelled to serve under the
present handicap of impotency.
