THE POLITICAL MIRAGE

The page advertisement in the Miami Silver
Belt, Mr.. Van Dykes paper, showing the pictures
IF Cameron for senator and Hunt for governor,
advocating their election, is slap at the intell-
gence of the Arizona voters. There is no objec-
ion to Mr.. Van Dyke voting as he pleases, but
when he poses as the leader of both the republi-
an and democratic parties, it is question Wheth-
II the people of the state of Arizona are going to
stand for him as the supreme dictator of our deS-
inies. Neither Senator Cameron or Governor
Hunt have so far denied the charge that they are
aling orders from Van Dyke. Their past poll
ical appointments show very conclusively that
Van Dyke has been the master hand in parceling
out the patronage for both.
In view of what Van Dyke has done in the way
If dictator to Hunt and Cameron in the past
ew years, what will he do to Arizona if he is sue
,essful in putting them over next Tuesday?
A vote for Cameron and Hunt means two votes
sor Dictator Van Dyke, who like Cameron, de-
lares "he owes allegiance to no party, faith or
reed"
1t is barely possible that Mr.. Van Dyke and
Senator Cameron have overlooked the fact that
ace almost completely.
If they owe no allegiance to the human race
hey are going to be out of luck at the coming
election for the supply of demgods and super
nen-the class to which they evidently belong
rom claims made, are not in the majority.
Many of us who merely belong to the human
ace, may at one time or another during our ear
ier periods of adolescence, have believed in mira
lies, and in later years have seen political mirages,
)ut at t.last we have come to know promises are so
easily mislaid. Men who honestly deliver the
goods have no time to figure out hundreds of
promises with which to bunco the voters.

The only way to- end this riot of
waste and Extravaganza is to wipe
out the autocratic political machine
now in charge of state affairs, from
the highest to the lowest official and
install new blood. He pledged free
use of the gubernatorial veto on all
appropriations not absolutely essen
tial to the carrying on of mandatory
state business, and a regime of strict
economy. AS result, taxes can and
will be reduced, he declares, if he
becomes governor.
He also attacked the state admin
istrationa for its confessed "winking
at violations of the state banking
code in order to nurse along weak
banks" which nursing process, he
adds, has brought about three recent
bank failures and caused the indict-
ment of the present state bank SUI
perintendent, who continues to hold
his job, however, despite the serious
charges brought against him by a
grand jury"
He added that one of his first acts
as governor would be to remove this

REMARKS OF THE GANG

ars and cents; that by no means in
cludes its total value for political
purposes. 1t is assured that a vigor-
Gus campaign for governor would
cost legitimately from $4,000 to
$4,000. That would include every
thing, travelling expenses, legitimate
workers, advertising and the work
of organizing the workers.
A candidate with 100000 at his
disposal could not organize such a
force as the machine musters, and
which is busy from years end to
years end. The machine not only
does all the needful work and does
it expertly, but it furnishes all money
that may be required to carry on the
work. Since this money is the money
of the taxpayers, the machine is not
niggardly in the use of it.
This is an engine which will never
be surrendered to the democratic
party. 1t is such an engine as no
responsible party could afford to
maintain.
Those democrats who are await
ing hopefully the demise of the gov
ernor are hoping for vain thing.
The governor, of course, will pass,
along with all things earthly, but the
machine will administer upon his
estate.

SHOOT "YEs' ON NUMBER 3O2

Wild game is one of Arizona's greatest assets.
At first thought this statement may not appeal
to the business man and others who are not hunt
ers or sportsrnen who love the gun and rod But
if he stops to consider, he will realize that aside
from the sportsman who loves to hunt and camp
in the open spaces, there are thousands of others
who love to hunt with a Kodak; people who are
attracted to the country where all wild game has
not been slaughtered almost to extinction.
Vote Yes on Referendum Measure No. 302.
It is sponsored by the Arizona Game Protective
association with membership of $500 scattered
all over the state of Arizona.
This organization is not composed of prohibit
tionists, but men and women who believe that our
game laws should be SO made that all but the
game hog" and "pot hunter" can be satisfied.
The Arizona Game Protective association has
in mind a game law which will make wild game
and fish an annual crop for years to come in
Arizona.
The usual advice is to vote against all refer
endllm measures. Here's an instance when you
are repeating a law and making it possible for
starting with clean slate.
Northern Arizona is especially interested in
voting "yes" on Number 302 and the whole state
should be.
The Arizona Game Protective association wants
the old game laws wiped off the statute books to
give the new legislature, which convenes in Jan
uary, a wide open opportunity to make a new
game law covering the needs of Arizona IN such
i way the state of Arizona can utilize its noun
tains and timber lands to the best advantage
without detrment to grazing or other interests
I When men of the cabre of those who belong
to the Arizona Game Protective association ask
you to vote "yes'' on Number 302 it can be taken
for granted as meriting support. If all game
enthusiasts of the state, who want to pack guns
and shoot, feel that it is necessary to slow down.
We can see no reason why Arizonans shouldn't
7ote ''yes" on Number 302 and give them chance
With the next legislative session, even if it does
cause total eclipse for couple months until the
state legislature figures out new law.

NO PUBLIC ECONOMY HERE

Refdting the declaration of Governor Hunt that
taxes are lower now than when he took office the
following official figures, certified to by repu-
table firm of public accountants, as taken from
the tax books, speak for themselves
Total assessed valuation of all taxable proper
ties have increased II per cent from 1913 to
1925; cost of government, for the same period,
has increased 187 per cent.
Total assessed valuation of all taxable proper
ties has decreased % per cent from 1918 to
1925; cost of government has increased 55 per
cent for the same period.
I Industrial property assessments decreased 38
per cent for this period; real and personal prop
erty assessments increased q per cent in the
same period.
In 1913 industrials paid II per cent and real
and personal property % per cent of the cost of
the state government. In 1925-26 the proportions
were, industrials SO per cent; real and personal
property 81 per cent.
While assessed valuations, or increase in the
value of property in the state, increased 78 per
cent, cost of running the state went up 1877 per
cent. If costs outstrip values at the same ratio
for another ten years. it will be cheaper to give
the state your property, many declare.

project. Flagstaff has completed one
of similar size. That is to say, the
hotel is now being built.
In the Gila valley, $25O,O0O is be-
ing spent on valley roads. On Mount

built, costing $1,000,00O.

ARIZONA GOVERNORS OF THE
FUTURE; THE PROCESS OF
THEIR SELECTION
(Arizona Republican,

N<1llAOud
In an address last week in Apache
county, Governor Hunt is said to
have referred to Hon. Fred T. Col
ter, who is a candidate for re-elect-
ion as state senator, as governor of
Arizona two years hence. That inv
PRODUCTION may be regarded as jocu-
lar. The governor himself might
have meant only to say something
complimentary Of Mr. Golfer in his
own bailiwick. But back of it all
there is something quite serious.
That is, that it is within the pow
er of Governor Hunt to choose his
own successor as nominee. That;
however, is not the worst of it. 1t
is within the power of the machine
behind Governor Hunt to name the
candidate for governor. But for that
machine the governor could not have
been nominated this year. But back
ed by the machine the governor was
nominated over two of the strongest
men in the democratic party by a
vote almost equal to the combined
vote of the two. Nor can it be said
that they divided the anti-Hunt vote
FOR each received large number of
votes that would not have been OBJ
tainable by the other. The two cam
didates formed the strongest possible
combination that could have been
opposed to the machine.
There can be no doubt that the ma
chine could as easily have brought
about the nomination of any other
candidate it might have supported.
Though Governor Hunt made the ma
chine possible, it has grown so strong
that he has become only its figure
head. Another could be substituted
for him without impairing the eff
fectiyeness of the machine. And when
the time comes, either by the COVER
nor's direction or otherwise, the ma
chine will choose the next nominee
for the office of governor-and, pos
sibly elect him.
Following the late primary there
to turn against the State Highway
party and it's nominee
at the general election. "They do not
in any way represent democracy" it
was said. Other democrats to whom
the State Highway Department was
as repungant counselled acquiesence
in the machine To fight it now, they
said, would only invite future re-
prisals. At the worst, there could
only be two more years of Hunt and
then the democratic party would be
naturally and peaceably restored.
That is a misconception of the en-
tire situation. In the nature of
things, Governor Hunt must some
time pass from the scene, but Hunt
ism may linger for a generation or
more. It's tenure will depend upon
The skill and finesse Of its manage
ment. 1t has been built to be endur-
ng and to grow, and as long as it
sndures and grows there can be no
place in the Arizona political scheme

BLOWING AWAY OUR ROADS

During the past summer the state highway
commission of Virginia endeavored to solve the
lust problem. Asphatic oil or calcium chloride
vas placed on sections of road in front of every
store and church the state highway system.
The chairman of the highway commission says
chat dust is getting to be the greatest problem
The highway department has to deal with Not
only does it cause great personal discomfort and
material damage but, being waited away by ev-
cry passing wind it leaves the roadbed in de-
plorabe condition.
In every state, it will be necessary to build 10
miles of county roads for one mile of heavier
paved state highway. The problem of maintain
.ng old gravel and macadam roads, and eventually
surfacng them with suitable waterproof sur
face at minimum of expense, must occupy the
attention of our road builders.
The rapidly moving automobile throws dust
for several hundred feet on each side of the
highway, thereby damaging crops and fruit to
such an extent that the products are often un-
marketable. Now is the time to consider this
problem, before next summer" is here.

The Arizona Good Roads association are against
referendum measure No. 306-307. The associa-
ton first fathered the bill but when it found
mistakes intentional or otherwise in the bill as
submitted for vote, the association advised all
friends to vote against it because it believes the
law is unfair class legislation tending to increase
taxes, shifting the burden from the auto owner
to the property owner; that it will add another
because it subjects the state treasury to unlimt-
ed expenditures by the motor vehicle commission.

"COWARDLY BUSHWHACKERS"

Carl HudspAth, democratic congressman of
Texas, talks right out in meeting when he has
anything to say.
In a letter published today in The Sun Mr..
Hudspeth denounces the attempt made to discred-
it with the stockmen of Arizona the service rem
dered them by Carl Hayden.
This attempt consisted in the mailing and dis
tribution of an anonymous circular-an unsigned,
ScurrilouS attack upon tried and true friend of
Arizona'S live stock interests.
"Cowardly bushwhackers," Mr.. Hudspeth calls
the circulators of this anonymous hand-bil.
Mr.. Hudspeths letter recites in detail the SER
vices rendered Arizona stockmen by Mr.. Hayden.
1t goes no further than the printed record of the
proceedings of the national congress. 1t finds in
that record the FACTS which are sufficient to
confound and destroy the malicious snipers who
hide behind the sage brush and the cactus and
shoot in the back.
This letter will be found in full on another page
of this newspaper. Arizona stockmen in particu-
lar, and the people Of this state in general should
read every word of it.
The purpose of this anonymous statement is to
help Ralph Cameron We are not informed as to
whether or not this miserable, scoundrelly busi-
ness has the endorsement of Cameron's managers
or not but the fact is that they have never denied
their responsibility for it's circulation.
