HUNT URGES LEGISLATORS TO
ABOLISH ROAD COMMISSION
Chief Executive Also Asks That H. B.
127 Be Repealed, In Message
To Tenth Legislature

that the present Highway commits
sion be abolished, and in lieu there
of one commissioner be appointed
who will have charge of the high
way department"
Should the legislature reject this
proposal, the governor suggested, as
a second request, the state be divid-
ed into three zones Northern, South
ern and Central, with one commits
sioner to represent each.
Game Commission
In regard to the state game COM
mission, I recommend that it be
abolished" the executive said. THE
idea behind the establishment OF
the game commission was to pre-
serve and protect wild life. The re-
suits strike me as having been the
opposite"
Governor Hunt pointed out to the
legislators that taxation is "a pro-
blem of the first magnitude"
Arizona is not a lone sufferer
from the evils of taxation. The ma
tional government and that of each
of our sister states are graphing
with this vital problem.
Il recommend repeal of House
Bill 127. The predominating num-
ber of victims from this vicious piece
of legislation have been the small
home owners and the farmers who
cultivate only a limited acreage;
those who could least bear the Sc
we're penalties of this heartless le-
gislation."

Boston. Dec 17.-(UP)-Modifi- cation of the sherman antitrust law and Clayton act was asked by Will H. Hays, head of the motion picture industry, as first and essential step toward restoration or permanent prosperity to the nation.
 Hays, in an address before New England business leaders, demand cd "reasonable freedom for Amer ican business to keep itself abreast of changing conditions and to erect n more stable edifice of prosper ity." He divided the country into two schools of thought, represent ing opposite extremes. ..
 "One group" Hays said, Would have us wreck the mill to stoke the furnace, the other would shut down the plant to conserve fuel. The first group can conceive of no hope for resumption of prosperity and employment. except through approximation. The other would have us store the operating capital of the nation under storm matches, reenacting the role of the Pha- roah, who kept boarding the grain of Egypt so long as famine was in the land"
 There will be no dole, Hays prophesied, but warned that the legitimate successful operation of business and the prosperity of the working man depend on reason able freedom at the hands of the government. He called the anti trust statutes antiquated by the new era of ruthless competition. :.
