it has always included large proportion of people
who are not and will be capable of earning more
than bare living, if that, and large and growing
proportion of those who won't work at all if they can
get by without working.

Watkins Speaks
The most forceful address Of the
evening was delivered by H. p.
Watkins, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. who spoke as an in
dividUal and not as the chamber
secretary
Watkins intimated in his talk that
had Bettwy not been mayor the
pa~t two wears Nogales would have
Jared much better in the matter OF
federal projects.
He told of the fine work Of a
planning committee of 18 or 20 men
and how those men one morning
qwokn to find themselves discharg-
ed. "The city Of Nogales the past two
years needed cooperation and not
criticism" shouted Watkins, and
pleaded that the city the next two
years approach that period in a
business like way.
E. S. Edmonson declared that fac
tions here must get together. eff
they don't the city of Nogales is
going to become a place where we'll
all not want to be. Noga1es now
does not have a Democratic govern
ment." he said.
Edmonson declared that the first
item on Bettwy's budget last sum
mer was $3.50 month for the street
superintendent. THAT isn't too
much for a street superintendent il
he is street superintendent but toe
much if he's a cowpuncher," said
Edmonson, who added it is better
to pay five men a living wage than
IS men a starvation wage. He was
referring apparently to policemen
receiving $50 month.
Edmonson said that the tax ratr
this year is bound to go up anc
that if anyone attempts to repudi
ate OBLIGATIONS the city is going *
have a lot of lawsuits on its hands
regardless of who becomes mavor
He also said it is possible that with
in three or four years Nogales may
have a municipal power plant
and eventually the city may be tal
free.

than in previous years, is reported
to be the opinion expressed by
Major General Alexander M. Tut
hill of Phoenix, state adjutant
general and commander of this Ma
tional guard corps area. The reason
is that privates attending will get
double the pay they nave received
since 1929, that is two dollars in
stead of one dollar day.
This will enable more men to af-
ford vacations from their regular
work at that time-in August. The
increased pay was made possible
by the appropriations bill passed
on the last day of the state
legislative session, and carrying
$4,000 for state pay for National
guard privateS.
Attendance, last year computed
at about 1900, will thus be 140O this
summer.
Heretofore, since. 1929, guards
men received only dollar a day
for drill nights and for each day
during encampment. This was paid
by the federal government. The
$4,000 appropriation by the state
is to duplicate the federal govern
ment's pay of privates during en-
campment
