total of the relief load, (familiesy was 1882, including the hospital cases but not the institutional classi- fication.
 Upward Swing
 For two years since March, 1885, the chart in the welfare depart ment's office has shown a downward trend, dropping to only 586 fam lilies in May last year. Since that month there has been steady in- crease in the demands upon the de- partment for relief and this year the enlarged demands have risen to the largest of all-time.
 Officials are hopeful that the WPA program now assured of extenuation by the recovery funds made avail able at Washington will start a downward trend once again, as was the case three and half years ago. There are about 570 men on full re- lief at present who are eligible for WPA jobs as soon as funds and projects are made available.
 1,564 Families
 The May report shows that 1859 persons are obtaining full relief; B. 542, partial relief; 216 are institu- tional cases, and there are 35 tram sients. The case load is estimated from the number of families, plus the institutional cases, and totals H. 564. In March, the case load was 1908; in April it was 1887. At pres ent if is silently hipher than the May figure, around 1,600, by esti- mate.
 How much of the strain may be taken from the welfare department by the WPA program here depends on the city boards treatment of ap- plications for transfers of funds to keep the various city-WPA projects going. These have been delayed in some instances until now several of the projects have been threatened with closing down.

ABusiness Man For Governor

THE Democrats have nominated business man to
be their nominee for governor in the against
Jerrie Lee, Republican, at the November election.
Bob Jones, the Democratic nominee, is strong
candidate, excellent gubernatoral timber, and we
feel certain he will have the support of practically
all persons who abored for his opponents prior to
the primary.
We heard it stated several times during the pre-
primary campaign that "politcian is needed in the
statehouse" We do not believe that What is needed
is business man who has had some experience in
politics. Bob Jones is that sort of man. He is a sue
cessful business man. very keable southerner, and
novice in politics for he has been state senator
for several years. He has had enough experience as
senator to acquaint him with state government
He is man who will be fair toward everybody
Mr.. Jones knows the needs of Arizona and will
make the state such executive that he will have
trouble being reelected two years from now, should
he desire a second term.
Other Candidates
Among other good candidates nominated for state
posts by the Democrats Tuesday were Harry NJ
Moore, secretary of state Ana Frohmller, auditor;
Thad Moore, tax commissioner; Joe Conway, at
torney general Wilson T. Wright, corporation COM
missioner; and William Peterson, treasurer
For representation in Washington the Democrats
re-nominated Senator Carl Hayden and Congress-
man John R. Murdock. Their reelection is assured
Thus the state is it will continue to be well look
ed after in the national seat of government
In Santa Cruz County the Democrats have nomi-
mated strong ticket-men and women who will add
much weight to the efforts to elect the national and
state candidates.

School Begins

CCHOOL time is here again. Now within the next
- week or two more than thirty million young
Americans will begin or resume the pursuit Of edu-
cation. There will be nearly 27 million children be-
tween the ages of five and seventeen in the public
schools another three million in private schools
and close to million and half in college and uni
versites.
To maintain the public grade schools alone the peo-
pie of the United States spend two billion dollars
year, and employ 100000 teachers, more than three
quarters of them women Add to that the cost of op
Grating the institutions of higher learning and it is
probable that we Americans spend more the train
ing Of our young people in the hope Of providing
them with a better equipment for the problems of
adult life and Of making them useful citizens than
we spend for any other purpose beyond the ele-
mental essentials Of food, shelter and clothing.
No matter what the cost, it is money we'll spent if
it results in making those who must carry on, after
the older generation of today has passed into hap
pier and more sef-reliant and women than their
parents For that, after ALL is the supreme OBJ
ject Of life. The test of education is it's results All
the booklearning in the world is Of value unless
the process Of education gives those who pass through
it incentive to their brains to do their own
thinking instead of letting others do their thinking
for them.

Never Say Die

WHAT person may 60 through and still live is
often amazing, and this is again illustrated in the
of Lawson l. Giddons, painter who fell 60 feet
from bridge scaffold into waters Of the Gulf Of
Mexico, striking girder and cross beam on the
way breaking both and both legs, yet was able
to keep afloat until rescued
His story of the accident, as reported by the Key
West Citizen, was in part follows:
Failing 80 feet he first hit girder with his legs
and broke both Of then at the hip and the other
at the thigh bone. Falling then to cross beam he
received multiple fractures the wrists and fore
arm of his left and on the wrist Of his right.
dropping into the water he went in feet first, ne
told The Citizen and not losing consciousness dur
ing the entire fall nor while he in the water,
turned over his back and padded weakly with his
right wing, which, though broken at the wrist, could
be used to some extent. Two life preservers were
thrown him and he secured himself to them until
rescuers reached him and brought him in"
Giddons was taken to a Miami hospital, where he
has good chanches for recovery because he adhered
to the old proverb, "Never say die"

Our Preliminary Policy

THE Nogales international Democratic partisan
paper, having remained neutral in the pre- primary
campaign can work for the election of Bob
Jones without any embarrassment whatsoever
Had this paper prior to Tuesday come out for any
OF the four candidates, and any of the three other
than Jones been nominated, the public could have
bandwagon of the winner Immediately after the pri-
mary. Such stand is proper for an Individual but
not for partisan paper All Democrats, whether
they were for Jones, Kerby Osborn or Bettwy should
now be for Jones. Each had right to be for any of
the four candidates prior to the primary
This paper played fair in it's news and editorial
columns toward all the candidates during the pre-
primary battle and the publisher of this paper who
is acting chairman of the county Democratic commit
tee, treated all impartialy Now, usual for
the entire ticket.

For Labor Peace

THE outstanding point of the report of the Presi-
dents committee to investigate labor legislation
relations in England is that labor and capital have
learned to settle their differences peaceably with
minimum of legislative administrative interfer-
ence by Government.
They have been working for more than 100 years
in England on the problems of trade unionism Be-
fore America had begun to emerge from it's primitive
condition of predomnantly agricultural state, Eng
coutry the industrial labor situation has only recent
ly become subject of major public concern and our
efforts to handle it have had such experience to
guide them as England has.
Whatever the ultimate adjustment of labor rea-
fons in America it seems reasonable to believe that
some plan will be worked out whereby future con-
ficts between workers and employers will be ap-
preached by both sides in spirit of amicable ef-
forts to bring about fair adjustment That has been

accomplished in England by the recognition each
side of the rights and duties of the other side, as
we'll as their respective necessities.
America is not England, and it is not suggested
that the English system be transplanted bodily
to this country. Methods and details of any labor
policy must be adapted to conditions they exist
in any country. But the fundamental principles of
mutual tolerance, confidence and fair play which
have been developed ia England must be the basis of
any permanent solution in America. And the less po-
tical nterferences the sooner industrial peace will
come about
