CAN A RENEGADE POLITICIAN BE LoYALg

Governor Hunt insinuated in his message to the
special session that the republican members of the
house and senate were patriotic in opposing his
administration. While the republican members
agree that he was more or less right as to their
patriotism in this particular case, they do not
agree that mere loyalty to any party, right OF
wrong, constitutes patriotism of the kind most
beneficial to the people of the state at large The
republican members voted with the majority OF
the democratic MEMBERS not because they were
opposing Governor Hunt, but because they be
lieved the majority of the legislature was right.
The fact that member was elected as repub-
lican or democrat to the present legislature, did
not seem to count much. The segregation of the
sheep and the goats was on the basis of whether
they would be rubber stamps for the governor or
not.
We regret that after long years Of political
strife in which he has gained honors which come
to but few Governor Hunt seems to have unwit-
tingly fallen into the hands of a few political
profiteers.
Gathering together of political renegades from
all parties and an attempt to weld them into one
loyal body can never succeed except for short,
very short time Loyalty to party principles does
not exist among political renegades and outlaws
If it did, they would not be SO ready to accept
political pelf from any hand that offers it.

REAL COOPERATION?

In some quarters danger is seen in the unani-
nifty in favor of a reduction. A few years ago q
movement was started in Kansas to reduce the
wheat acreage Everybody talked reduction, but
every grower figured that as his neighbors were
going to reduce, he would profit by adding few
acres; so the states acreage, instead of being de-
creased, was materially increased 1t would be
unfortunate if the cotton growers effort to re-
duce their crops should work out this way

It is rather an odd circumstance to find the gov
ernor demanding increased appropriations from
the legislature. Usually the legislature appropri-
ates far more than the governor thinks advisable.
Governor Hunt thinks the eighth legislature is
about million shy of what the administration
could use despite the fact it would raise the state
tax rate to about $1.00 If Arizona has a popu-
lation Of 100000 as is claimed, it means about
$1,000 per head-man, woman and child-for be
ing properly regulated by the state not counting
school, county and city taxes to keep them regu-
lated locally AS very, very obnoxious acquaint-
ance of ours recently remarked: 1T is cheaper

rates" You'll note he was an acquaintance not

USED HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
FOR POLITICAL ENDS
(Dunbars Weekly

Governor Hunt has voiced many
reasons for vetoing the highway COM
mission bill, but anyone at all familiar
with political conditions in this state
know there is but one reason mott
waiting the governor. He does not
propose to lose the state highway
department political machine as long
as use of the gubernational veto can
prevent.
Wiping aside all subterfuge, the
books of the highway department are
the best evidence Of whether or not
the department is a political organi-
zation rather than department Of
state maintained for benefit of the
people. These books reveal that dur
ing the late primary and general
elections that department was oper-
ated almost exclusively as political
organization.
These are the official pay rol
figures of the department for the

STATE OF BUSINESS AND

(Arizona Republican,

The bureau of business conditions

notes and analyses the increase Of

reaches conclusion which we doubt

other is true, but here we think the
effect is mistaken for the cause.

This mass method of harnessing
public attention appears to have been
decidedly overdone. There are weeks
set aside for corn, cranberries, milk,
oranges, apples, canned food, and
prunes. The whole family seems to
demand a place in this calendar.
There is Mothers Day, Father and Son
Week, Mother and Daughter Week,

These figures speak louder than all
of Governor Hunts words. Steadily
through summer the pay roll
mounted, reaching maximum in Oc-
tober, the month preceding the gen.
eral election. The election being in
November, the December figures
show highly significant drop.
just consider the spread between
the October pay roll of $116,667 .98
and the December pay roll of $84, ,039.-
81. Is there person in the state so
dense as not to grasp the significance
of this?
Governor Hunt may hunt excuses
until Doomsday, but all his rhetoric
and sophistry will not wipe out the
blunt fact that he vetoed the highway
commission bill because he knows
that for the past four of six years the
state highway department has been
his very political life-blood and he is
going to maintain that department
as his political adjunct as long as his
veto can prevail against the peoples
getting a real highway department
freed of partisan politics. There is
just one way to remedy this condition
at present, and that is for the people,
