PIONEER ARIZONAN TAGGED
FOR NOT CARRYING ARIZONA
LICENSE PLATES ON HIS AUTO
Writ c. Bowman Democratic National Committeeman For
Arizona, Claims Politics Behind Tagging His
Car; Is A Hunt Supporter

189440 long years ago. In No
gales he is chairman of the only
bank left in this city-the First Ma
tional Bank, one of the outstanding
solid financial institutions of the
great Southwest.
Mr.. Bowman bought his car in
California, paid taxes on it, and got
license for it issued out of Sac
mento, instead of San Diego coun-
ty, and by getting the license in
Sacramento he maintains he was
entitled more or less to special pri-
vileges.
"The state highway department Of
Arizona apparently had the number
of my car from the time left
Phoenix enroute to Nogales and
tagged me when I got here, the
highway patrolman declaring I was
violating the laws of Arizona" said
Mr. Bowman. "You are a National
Committeeman from Arizona, a vot-
er of this state, and you must have
an Arizona license on the car"
Bowman said the patrolman told
him.
The patrolman made the diStin-
guished Arizonan pay $3.50 in taxes,
then he wanted to remove the Cali
forania license. II objected to it
and finally the patrolman said he
would etxend me special courtesy
to allow me to keep the California
plates on the car.
1.-THE patrolman, named Ball,
whom talked to, was very nice, a
perfect gentleman, and while he
claimed there was nothing political
behind the incident, I think that
everything behind it was political
and that it was originated for the
purpose of humiliating me because
am National Committeeman and
I openly announced myself for Hunt
for Governor" said Mr.. Bowman.
He further said:
"The main reason I think it was
political is that when I asked Ball
whether it was political or not, he
said NO. and added that he wish
ed I was a Moeur man so he could
do it with more pleasure and get

ct think it's terrible that a man
has to come to his home state to
get huniliated and kicked around
as I was. There were several wit
nesses to the conversation.
"In the future I'm going to be
compelled to come on the train
leave my car in another state, to
keep from being harrassed. was
never before accused of violating a
law"
EDITORS NOTE)-We think
Mr.. Bowman is perfectly within his
rights in registering the above kick.
A pioneer of Arizona since 1874
man who has invested thousands
and thousands of dollars in this
state = the Democratic National
Committeeman from Arizona -
law abiding citizen - surely he
should not be harraSsed nor hunli-
lated by any highway patrolman,
policeman, deputy sheriff, or any
other officer, and the highway de-
partment should inform him imme-
diately he can bring his car to Ari-
IONA without danger of being tag
ged again.

Bank Sacrifices En1icIlinq FeW at EXPENSE of Man

Many members of the House are ignoring their per-
sonal convictions well the demands of their con-
stuencies in failing to give the last full of sup
port to the Mcleod bill for paying off those whose de-
posts are frozen in closed banks
They are doing this because from some source tre-
mendous pressure being brought to bear to prevent
the Government from taking the assets of those
banks and quidatng them in orderly and sensible
manner.

Any member of the House who is debating with him

Conference of Governors
Needed for Reform
By James T. Williams, Jr.

President Roosevelt may we'll
welcome the adoption by the
House of joint resolution re-
Gently offered in that body by
q Republican member-Con-
gresham Mcleod, of Michigan.
Under this resolution Con-
gress would request the Presi-
dent to invite the governors Of
the several States to an emer-
gency conference to be held in
the Federal City soon after his
return from his cruise in the
Pacific this summer.
The purpose of this meeting
Of the governors with the Presi-
dent would be to formulate and
adopt a national program "to
reduce excessive costs of State
governments and their local SUBJ
sidiaries by reorganization Of
local governmental systems and
elimination of all obsolete and
unnecessary offices and func-
tions."
The resolution recites in clear
and concise form the reasons
why the States should endeav-
or to agree upon and carry
out under the fostering leader
ship of the President such a
program at this time.
The urgent need of effective
relief from the increasing bur-
den of taxation ought to be evil
dent to thoughtful citizens in
all walks of life.
There is abundant evidence to
prove that a large part Of the
taxes now collected for the sup
port of government, especially
government within the several
States, sis wastefully used for
the maintenance OF outworn and
wholly unnecessary public ottl-
ces and functions.
Taxes Squaundered
The squandering of the exces-
sive taxes wrung from the peo-
pie to pay the cost of useless Of
fices and functions "has con-
tributed in large measure to
forced curtailment of fire and
police protection, public educa-
tion and other vitally essential
and necessary civic functions"
Reorganization of local county
and State governments under a
program that would promote eff
ficiency and therefore economy
in the administration of the
public business would, as the
Mcleod resolution sets forth,
"afford substantial relief to the
country's harassed taxpayers,
protect essential civic functions
The Washington times., 1934-05-11

and greatly assist national re.
covery."
AS governor Of New York and
in the early days of his presi-
dency, Mr.. Roosevelt urged
upon the people of his own State
and upon his neighborS through
out the nation the duty of rid
ding themselves of the obsolete
system of county and local gov
ernment which has come down
from the days when the OK cart
was the chief means Of trans
portation. He has shown by
vivid illustrations how stupid
and costly it is to keep up such
a system of OK cart government
in the days off the automobile.
Too Many Subdivisions
A glance at the map of the
United States reveals that the
several States are divided today
into more than 5000 counties
and into many more thousands
of smaller subdivisions of local
government. An army OF tax
collectors swarm through the
country collecting taxes to sup
port these useless, and for the
most, inefficient governmental
units. Thousands upon thou.
sands of officials are living off
of the people in offices that no
longer are required to attend to
the peoples business.
This OK cart system Of gov
ernment is in reality govern
ment of the politicians, by the
politicians for the politicians"
It is the antithesiS of govern
ment of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people"
Calvin Coolidge always in
sisted that his chief service as
governor of Massachusetts, was
in reducing the departments Of
his State government to 20. Had
he been governor of MasSachu-
setts for another two years, he
would probably have carried
this reform into the county and
local units of government of
that commonwealth.
Given the leadership of the
President, a governors confer
ence meeting in the Federal
City in the early autumn might
inaugurate a national reform
that would outrank in history
any act of Congress that has
been passed in the present dec
ade. This national reform-the
undermining of OK cart govern
ment within the State to meet
the challenge of a new day ur-
gently needs the leadership Of a
Roosevelt to succeed.
