R. ]. JONES OUT FOR
THE OFFICE OF
STATE SENATOR


the town of Coolidge is out for
the office of State Senator for
Plnal County subject to the
endorsement of the Democratic
primary September IL.
Mr.. Jones does not need an
introduction to the voters of
Plnal county, since his activi-
ties in the county are well
known. His faith in the pro-
lspective future of Plnal county
remains unalterable. Thru his
efforts in promoting the town
of Coolidge, Mr.. Jones holds an
envyable record of having erect
ed more new taxable wealth for
Pinal County during the past
six to eight years than any
other single individual living in
the county In that length of
time.
| am for rigid economy in
State and County governments
at all times declared Mr.. Jones
in making his announcement,
and will strive at all times to
encourage and promote con-
structive, economical and hon.
est legislation, Legislation that
will be to the interest of the
taxpayers of Pinal County and
the state of Arizona as a whole.
| believe that a proper solu-
tion of our present sales tax is
possible in our next legislature,
whereby the whole proceeds de-
rived from that tax will ulti-
mately relieve from taxation
homes up to the value of three
thousand dollars.
| believe that the system of
collecting our present sales tax
is entirely too cumbersome and
expensive and can be greatly
simplifed by applying the tax
on the wholesaler rather than
on the retailer, thus eliminat-
ing the excessive cost of collec-
ton existing at present.
| shall oppose any move or
action on the part of our legis-
lature to create more bureaus
or commissions, but will sup
port all measures that will have
as their object the consolidation
of some of our present depart
ments IT bureaus where a saw
ing to the State can be realized.
| shall oppose any and all
bond issues of whatever nature.
believe that the sole object
of our next legislature should
be to devise ways and means of
reducing taxes, particularly on
real estate. If any inducement
can be offered to investors in
homes and real estate it must
be done thru a substantial re-
due ion in property taxes,
otherwise it will always remain
a liability. The right type of
legislators elected to our next
legislature should, and will con.
centrate their efforts on this
essential task.
| submit my candidacy to the
voters of Pinal county, subject
to the democratic primary on
September IL with the above
objectives in view, and if |
shall receive the endorsement of
the voters on that date and
elected State Senator in No
vember, shall work diligently
for the benefit of the tax pay
ers of Pinal county and the
State of Arizona as whole.
