nal county unemployed to ring up

reports made TO the Soclal security
Board and received here by the
Arizona Unemployment Compensa-
tion commission.
Weekly benefit checks for unem-
ployed compensation in Arizona

pared with a national average of
S1164. Only Oregon, New York, and
Michigan reported a higher aver
age.
Michigan, which began benefit
payments in July, reported an av-
erage of $13.96 per check. New

The real Washingtonians( those

ones who may profit by war.
They have boarding houses, rest

Many PWA Projects
Are Under Way Now

SAN Observation-Disclosures
men are going back to jobs by the
hundreds weekly in this region now
that construction work actually has
been started on no less than 15S
PWA projects of the 1898 program,
announced Kenneth A. Goodwin,
PWA Regional Director, today.
Official records at PWA Regional
Headquarters here show that more
than 900 men were added to pay
rolls on these projects this week.
A total of 5,039 men have been
given employment since the first
new PWA job was started at San
Diego last August 1st. Last week
there were 4,129 men working,
which means the actual increase
of the current six-day period is
904.
"From now on more and bigger
projects will get under way almost
daily until January 1st, when all
of them must be in construction.
said Director Goodwin today. "When
the present PWA program reaches
it's peak, it will contribute most
substantially to reducing the ranks
of the unemployed. This is its
basic purpose in connection with
providing Federal aid for installing
needed public improvements thro-
ughout the country. This is re-
covery drive, which will Increase
the national buying power by many
millions of dollars and, therefor :,
will be of widespread benefit to all
channels of trade"

Buttes Dam Project
Not Lost

Efforts of the Board of Directors
of the San Carlos Irrigation and
Drainage District to obtain approx
al from the Public Works Admin
istration of the Buttes Dam FRO
iect have met with temporary de-
lay
It appears that the quota of PWA
funds presently allotted for use IN
the State of Arizona, is insufficient
to permit PWA to make the loan
and grant requested. Unless auth0-
rites can be prevailed upon to pro-
vide additional PWA funds for Ari-
zona, financing of the project this
year appears remote.
If no funds can be secured from
PWA moneys available for alloca-
tion in 1888, there exists the pOssi-
bility that the next session of Con-
gress will make additional PWA
DIV olltlOit, Ill WnlCu GNOAAC c~NS
Districts application should receive
: early consideration. If Congress
does not set aside such PWA funds
( the District will be faced with the
problem of obtaining the amount
necessary for the construction oil
the Buttes Dam through Congress
ional appropriation.
1t is apparent, however, that IN
order to secure the amount of fur Is
requested more liberal ALLEGATION
of public funds must be made for
the benefit of the State than las
been the case in the past.
The District Board is extending
every effort to provide a solution
for the condition responsible for
the condition responsible for the
present delay.
The work SO far done in the pre-
paration and submission of the ap'
plication has accomplished neces-
sary preliminaries which are re-
quired in any project of this nature
and size. This eliminated many Of
the problems in connection with
the construction of the Buttes Dam.
1t is felt therefore that substan-
tial progress has been made.
The cooperation of the State and
national agencies has been receiv-
ed in pressing the application for
this work and it is believed that
through continuation of joint ef-
fort there remains good chance
that the project will materialize un-
der the present application.
On the whole the Districts ap-
plication has met with very favor
able reception in Washington and
it is believed that if present PN A
funds are not secured for the con-
struction of the Buttes Dam, mon
eys for such purpose will be secur-
ed from other sources within the
near future.

Democratic Campai-
gn In Full Swing

Bolstered by the addition of sill
ver-tongued Harry F. Ashurst,
ArizOna's senior u. S. senator, who
will make a series of speeches in
the Salt River Valley, the campa-
ign of the democratic party to elect
it's complete slate of state and CO.
unity officials was rolling along in
high gear this week.
With three weeks remaining be-
| fore the people of Arizona go to
the polls to elect their representa-
tives on November s, democratic
/ chieftans expressed confidence in
the ultimate victory of their party.
The fireworks of last week were
provided by Secretary of State
James Kerby. who carried out his
threatened recount by filing a suit
against his successful opponent for
/ the democratic gubernatOrial no
mination, state Senator r. T. Bob
Jones.
Kerby made the headlines in
Fridays newspapers, but had the
play taken away from him the
following morning when Lynn Lock
hart, chairman of the democratic
state central committee, issued
statement bristling with innuendo
! in which he charged Kerby with
attempting to split the democratic
ranks to assist the republican
nominee, Jerrie Lee.
"By forsaking the democratic
ticket, - Lockhart asserted, James
H. Kerby has read himself out Of
! the democratic party forever"
The result of the Lockhart mani
festo was a tightening of Democra-
tic ranks throughout the state.
Telegrams of congratulations and
| support flooded the PhOenlX nedu-
quarters of the party commenting
Lockhart upon his courageous
stand and pledging support to
Jones and the entire democratic
ticket.
Political dopesters were gener-
ally agreed that Kerby's iH-timed
gesture had boomeranged to the
misfortune of Lee and himself.
One man close to the democratic
high-command predicted that Ker-
by would be lucky to garner 4,8O0
votes, if he ran as an Independent.
Jones probably will not lead the
ticket he admitted, "but he will
be right up there, and should hold
plurality of $4,000 votes over Lee.
Lee will run we'll ahead of Kerby."

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

In Washington they are glad the
war has been postponed. BY the
time this gets to press, the whole
world may be embroiled in conflict
but right now there is peace. And
peace means lot to Uncle Sans
office force. One is rather FORUM
ate if he has a government job
during a depression. He is sure of
eating as long as he can stay on the
inside. Prices Ire at their lowest
when jobs are scarce, and the
government clerks income has a
good chance of meeting his expen-
ses. But what if there is war?
They are telling lots of stories
of the days back in 1917 when the
United States asked to be dealt
into the game Oldtimers remem-
Der when they could not get a
meal at any restaurant in Wash
ington without waiting in line. 1t
was not in the restaurant they
waited but out on the sidewalk,
perhaps a block away. There is no
need of mentioning the price of
anything you have to stand in line
to get. The law of supply and de-
mand soon attends to that.
Men now well past middle age
lean back in their swivel chairs
and talk of the hectic times when
Uncle Sam was mobilizing. Many
were already in the government,
and war was har on them. They
had only two ways to turn. They
could join the Army and take Il
chance on coming back alive, or
stay at their old jobs and take the
consequences. The consequences
were the hardships of ever-rising
prices for food and shelter, and the
disrupting of what was once q
smooth-running office. Newcomers
who knew nothing of the work were
called in to take the places OF
those who had gone away to fight.
With prices for everyday necessi-
ties going sky-high, the govern
ment clerks salary remained the
same. There were no easy pickings
for him.
For men who had spent most of
their lives in offices, the Army was
not inviting. 1t was one thing to
sit at a desk and dream of camp
ing trips and hikes, yet quite an
other to incorporate them into
everyday life. Office workers are
not physically tough. They may be
healthy, but they are in no con-
dition to 90 out where the sun
beats down all day and the wind
sneaks in under the tent flaps at
night.
Far different are the stories told
bv some of Arizona's cowboys and
miners. To many of them it was
| great adventure. They knew no
thing of soft jobs and softer muse
les. Army mud was not so nice,
but neither was there a lot of fun
in wrestling an old poor cow out
of a boghole, or tramming much
through a Shiny tunnel. AS for liv-
| ing quarters, an army cot could
not be much more uncomfortable

Measure Remains
On Ballot

PHOENIX. Oct. 17-Paced by Ro-
bert r. Weaver, brilliant counsel
for NJ c. Reese as intervenor, Tax
Free Homes forces scored a de-
cisive victory today when Judge e.
G. Frazier dissolved the temporary
restraining order which had been
in force since September 22nd on
the Initiative Measure EXemptlng
Homes from Taxation up to a Five
Thousand Dollar valuation, and
ordered the measure to be printed
on the ballot in November.
The decision arrived as the after
math of a gruelling eight-day siege
in local court which was highlight-
ed by the raking cross examination
by Assistant Attorney General E. P.
Cline of plaintiffs witnesses who
maintained that of the thirty three
thousand signers many were invalid
or not registered voters and that
therefore the petition shorld be
Withheld from the ballot.
Tax Free Homes as a public que5-
ton has received intense interest in
the past few months and statewide
attention has been focused on the
hearing in the Maricopa county
courts to determine its status. Plain
tiffs in the case were Walter Tha
lheimer, mayor of Phoenix. and
! fifteen other AriZonans while de
I PENDANTS were Secretary of State
1 James Kerby and the clerks of al
county boards of supervisors. Coun
sci for the plaintiffs were the larg
est battery'o of important legal lights
ever seen in a MaricOpa courtroom
on an initiative measure and includ
ed the firms of Baker and Whitney
Cunningham and Carson, and Femme
more, Craig, Allen and Bledsoe as
well as Torrance Carson.
For the defendants the attorney
Generals office was represented BY
Assistant Attorney E. P. Cline.
A surprise move by the sponsor
of Tax Free Homes, M. c. Reese o
Phoenix, brought Robert R. Weaver
into the case over bitter plaintiffs
objections on the opening day rs
counsel for the intervenor.
After testimony by L. c. Chap
man handwriting expert from Wick
enburg had failed to disclose suf
ficient duplicate signatures to in
validate the petition, the plaintiffs
introduced a statistical witness
! Henri Behoteguy who offered testi
monv intended to discredit the re
gistration of d large number o1
signers. Both these witnesses were
subjected to raking cross eXamlna
| ton by defense and interyenor
counsel.
After plaintiffs presentation o
the case had concluded, Cline il
surprise move offered a motion
for dismissal on the grounds thai
the presumption of worthy sigma
lures had not been overcome ant
was sustained by Judge Frazier
The decision brought to close
one of the most bitterly contested
lawsuits in the history OF clvl
practice.
