OLD AGE ASSISTANCE

In 1914 Arizona became the first
state to enact an old age pension
law, nine years before similar leg
islation was adopted elsewhere.
While this act was declared un-
constitutional, the movement cul-
minated in the National Old Age
Insurance Program, the benefits OF
which are now being paid. In in
creasing numbers elderly persons
will be eligible for these benefits
until eventually. with fede%al p',l
sicns ranging up to $85 monthly,
the state will be relieved of this
obligation to a great extent.
Meanwhile, however, Arizona

REORGANIZATION OF
STATE GOVERNMENT

Henderson proposes a complete
reorganization of the State Govern
ment. and stated that by doing SO,
it would save thousands of dollars
for the tax payers. Again he
stated 1T is my desire to inject
into our state government the prin-
ciples of sound business and in
this connection, L propose to Gre
ste, by legislative enactment, the
office of State Comptroller, whose
duties shall be those of business
manager for the state. The eX-
perience of any large corporation,
whose volume of business is in ex-
cess of $20,000,000 annually, finds
such an officer most necessary. AS
the most essential feature of my
economy platform, l believe the
office of Comptroller will return
the state of Arizona a material saw
ing in increased efficiency and
closer supervision of fiscal affairs
and accounting. A reduction of
5 Per cent in the present expendi-
lures of the state by the Comptrol
Ter would result in a saving the
state over ONE MILLION DOL
LARS.
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
During the last ten years, count
less promises have been made (by
candidates who were elected to the
governorship) to consolidate and
eliminate many of our commits
sions, bureaus and boards. Past
and present 'pressure-grdups" have
created many of them. Certain
ones Of value can be consolidated
tc operate as major departments
Of our state government with Con-
structive development policies and
program. 1t is more than absurd
for Ariz ma to have 100 full-fledged
commissions and boards to govern
the less than 100000 people of our
sparsely populated ana undevel-
oped state. But it takes an army
of commissions and boards, led by
multitude of politicians as de-
partmental generals, to keep the
machine 'in power and the peo-
pie "in tow. The duties and
functions of these 100 boards and
commissions are often overlapping
and in many instances, although
receiving no compensation as sal
aries, are nevertheless given funds
for travelling expenses. NEARLY
S1.OOOOOO OF STATE FUNDS
HAVE BEEN USED FOR THAT
PURPOSE IN A SINGLE YEAR.
If the citizens OF Arizona honor
me with the opportunity, AS YOUR
GOVERNOR, I urgently propose
and sincerely pledge my word to
take the lead in a course of coor-
cinated, business-like action, that
will make it possible to enact into
law a sweeping and far-reaching
consolidation and elimination OF
many commissions, bureaus, and
boards.

Most political observers had

phenomenal proportions-so great
that II is entirely possible that
President Roosevelt will face a
hard fight To carry the state at
all next November. even though It
voted for him two-to-one four
years ago.
While the president is leading
Wendell Willkie in popula
strength throughout the state at
present, his majority is Ia points
below what II was in 1896. and 0
points below what II was in June,
just before Willkie was nominated
by the Republicans.
Thirty-seven staff interviewers
for the Institute conducted the poll
in California, asking cross-sec-

presidential election were held to-
day, would you vote for willkie
or for Roosevelt?

Yesterday we visited his barn

The odor of the weed in that barn

Beneath the tobacco, and inn

day.
At the present time, he said, farm.
ers of North Carolina generally are
rather discouraged with the almost
rock-bottom prices they are receiv.
ing for their hogs.
However, Vestal stated. a con.
sistant hog man has found swine
profitable over IN extended period.
For instance, during the 10.year
period from 1929 through 1898, hog
prices averaged $7.2S per 100
pounds.
Even though present prices are
low" the State college specialist
said, farmers shouldn't get out Of
the hog business. Past experience
tells us that the present situation
may change quickly, especially with
the European war going on. Besides,
any farmer who produces his own
feed can count on a few hogs to &C.
count for sizeable part of his farm
income"
Cotton and tobacco, especially the
latter, have been placed on the un-
certain list since the outbreak Of
hostilities in continental Europe.
Growers are producing these two
crops this year, hoping that demand
conditions will improve before mar.
keting time.
With this depressed situation,
Ellis said, farmers should realize the
value of some income from livestock
to fall back on should conditions be.
come even worse than they are now.
Many farmers, discouraged with
low swine prices, have been selling
off their breeding stock. Some au-
thorities have estimated that the

On the other hand, Vestal pointed
out, civic clubs and other organiza-
lions have been active in pushing a
livestock program in their counties.
AS a result. a large number of fine
breeding animals have been placed
on farms in an attempt to stimulate
interest in the production of live
stock.
In many counties, Pig clubs have
been formed in which farm boyD are
given breeding animals in exchange
for which they give one or more pigs
