Governor Jones lashed bitterly
yesterday at the Hatch Clean
Politics Bill enacted by Congress
and sent to President Roosevelt
Thursday. calling it communistic
and predicting it would be declar-
ed unconstitutional at the first
test.
Meanwhile his campaign lieuten-
ants moved quickly to obtain the
Arizona Highway Departments
quota of campaign contributions
before the president signed the bill
and made it law. The highway
department, with between 1900 and
14OO employees will be affected by
the bill.
'"Talk about communiStic things
he added "that's the worst I ever
heard Of. I'll tell you what it will
result in. Suppose you were work
ing on a job and they wouldn't let
you contribute anything to the
campaign. Then some other fellow
would come along and give the
governor a couple of hundred dol
lars.
He would say Nov look here,
I've helped you with your cam
paign and that fellow hasn't done
a thing to help YOU. And he'd get
the job.

TT,ANTA Ga-(SNS)-

ATLANTA, Ga.--(SNS)-
A new twist of the film -flam-
ming art had come along in At
lanta Saturday.
r. Rivers, of route one, Decatur
told police that a sporty looking
man approached him in Atlanta
and asked him if he didn't want a
lob paving $3.50 a week. Rivers,
suspecting that he was a sJickSter,
said he told the man he had a job,
but upon continue insistence ad-
mitted he had g brother at their
home seven miles from Decatur
who could use one. He told the
man he'd go home to get his BROTH
er and boarded a street car, think
ing he had rid himself of the
prospective employer, Rivers said.
No sooner had he left Jne street
car in Decatur, Rivers said, when
he man who had approached him
in Atlanta drove up and offered to
take him home for his brother
asserting over and over that his
boss man wanted a "good, country
boy" because the city boys couldn't
be trusted. Rivers was impressed
by the mans apparent sincerity
and finally bought him two gallons
of gasoline to take him for his
brother.
At the country home of the R1V-
ers, the jcb-offerer told Lewis Riv
ers, younger brother of the first
youth approached, that if he could
show some money to his boss man
to impress him that he coud save
money and could be trusted, he was
sure he'd be hirde. Young Rivers
got up 81 and the trio started
back to Atlanta for the job. When
they reached the corner of Edge
wood Avenue and Boulevard, the
job-offerer stopped his car, got
out and bought two envelopes, it
seems. He gave Lewis Rivers one
and told him to put the money in
it and wet the glued edge Of the
envelope by licking it. Rivers was
them told to put the envelope into
magazine the Job-offerer was
holding so that it could be sealed
without soiling the outer edges.
Sides of the magazine were then
pressed together in the sealing
process.
Young Rivers was then handed
back an envelope. The trio drove
! into town and the Rivers boys were
let out on the sidewalk before an
UPTOWN building while the car was
being parked. When the man fail

Dawson Leads
Negro Workers
In Labor March
ATLANTA, (SNS)-

Labor was on parade in Atlanta
and the nation Monday.
Through Atlanta's downtown
streets paraded representatives of
abor, including over two hundred
colored persons. The colored ma
jor was Major Ebert Dawson, OF
the Knights of the Guiding Star OF
the East. Behind him marched
representatives of both A. r. of l..
and c. 1. o. organizations. The
parade stopped all downtown traf-
fic and wound from Mitchell and
Cenral avenue to Baker and
Spring streets.
Atlantans celebrated the day in
varied ways. Beginning with a
dance at the City Auditorium,
where Maxine Sullivan, "Bon-bon-
ME Lassie" singer, and Give"
swinger Tiny Bradshaw and his
orchestra held sway, residents of
the Gate City spent their Labor
Day picnicxing in the countryside
swimming, playing ball and dane
ng at Washington Park; private
parties and dances at the Club Top
Hat and the Sunset Casino. Thou
sands took the day off to rest,
spending the day quietly and tax
ing in show or an afternoon ride.
All in all, it was a typical Labor
Day with laborers taking things
,asy and jubilantly.

~ io NY III
inner circle of Arizona politics
that Sidney P. Osborn, three
time loser, is making money out of
running for governor!
The record speaks for itself
Granting that his 1918 race
was no more than the result of
the inflated ego of a youngiSh
fellow from a political family,
which had been at the political
pie counter since the first ter
ritorial legislature, the other
races bear sinister signs.
1t was back in '18 when the
Tribe of Neri lined up behind
its favorite son to make him
governor so he could put the
almost countless other men,
bers of the tribe on the state pay
roll.
But even in those days, Arj,
zonians were disgusted with the
greedy tactics of the Tribe Of
Neri. Some of them had been,
as stated, on the public payroll
ever sine the first territorial
legislature. The people didn't
want to have the ENTIRE fam
lily on the state payroll, which
undoubtedly would have hap
pened had Sid been elected
governor. So the voters rallied
behind Fred Golfer, who at that
time was resident OF Apache
county, and gave him the par.
tvs nomination.
The Osborn family sulked ir
their political tents They re-
fused to support the party's
nominee for governor because
he had beaten Sid Perhaps
with the Osborn family's sup.
port, the Democratic guberna-
torial nominee might have won
Instead, he lost.

Arizona Sid made fast trip K
Los Angeles, where the power
company's main office is located.
Immediately he announced
his candidacy for the Democra-
tic nomination for governor
With pockets bulging with cur
rency, he toured the state. III
each town where he spoke, he
hauled out a roll of bills anc
bought full page ads. He was
really in the money, although
he hadn't been engaged in any
profitable employment before
the campaign started
Just about this time he had
enough money to purchase Dun

ENTIRELY to Henry Ashurst
Yet, Osborn thought he was q

system to a gold standard, repeal
our dangerous monetary laws, and
grant the Board of Governors of
our Federal Reserve System more
power over our huge surplus re-
serves in our commercial banking
structure. OF course the debt limit
will now have to be raised.
1t is doubtful that the New Deal
Administration can or will do these
things, considering its past record.
It has, with rare exceptions, never
surrounded itself with the best men
available; 1t has been afraid of
them, and they have not respected
it. Can and will this be changed
now? Radicals have never been
sent home no matter how unde-
sirable they have been demonstrated
to be; instead, promotion and cod
ding have been the regular tactics
employed to keep these unsavory
elements in positions of power. Can
and will this be changed? The New
Dealers have been hostile toward
business and businessmen; they
have abetted labor racketeer-
ing and have embraced socialists
and communists; above all, they
have driven wedges between groups
of people, and have fostered class
strife and class hatred. How can
these things be undone?
Since there is ample room for
doubling that necessary reforms can
or will be made by the New Deal
ers, we probably can expect. at the
best, little more than the minimum
of improvement. The indications
are that In this great emergency
we are to get far less than We
should have in the way Of good
government. and that the dangers
to our national well-being and
safety will continue to be inordin-
ately great. Indeed, there Is very
strong probability that our national
emergency will be used for even
more socialism, for more authori-
tartan government.
