L uCI1111 do al AAO11d dOJuUdAlG SC1l-
eral.
COnvenes January Is
The legislature convenes a week
later, on Jan. 10, and goes down
on the books as the 18th to meet
since Arizona gained statehood.
Unlike the situation in many
states, Arizona's legislature will not
be hampered by fights between
Democratic and Republican blocs,
inasmuch as there is not a single
Republican in either the senate or
house CT representatives.
This, however, by nc means in
sures a unanimity of opinion in
either house, as Arizona Democrats
have peculiar tendency of becom-
ing engaged in intra- party strife
every bit as bitter as the inter-par-
ty disputes of other states.
Both houses will have the task
of choosing leaders for the 6O-day
legislative session. State Sen. Paul
c. Keefe of Yavapai county was
president of the 14th legislature,
and most quarters expect he will
be reelected.
House Situation
The situation is somewhat diff
ferent in the house of representa-
tives where the speaker for the
18th session, J. Mel Goodson of
Maricopa county, will not be among
the returning representatives.
However, pre-legislature specula-
ticn mentions Mrs. Nellie T. Bush
of Yuma cunty and James Heron
of Gila county as the two most
likely candidates for the speaker
ship. If Governor-Elect Osborn
has a preference between the two
candidates, he has kept it a secret
by maintaining strategic silence.
Associates of Osborn make no
secret of the fact the governor
elect is preparing a vigorous pro-
gram for presentation to the legiS
lature and that, as governor, he
expects to use his full constitu
tional powers in direction of state
activities.
There are indications that con-
ditions which gave the 18th legis-
latr~e the title of the "people-less"
session will be absent in the forth
coming session.
State Platform
The Democratic state platform
= which Gov.-Eect Osborn is
pledged, plus discussion heard from
around the state capital would in
'icate that the following topics
may be on the agenda of the legis-
lature:
Creation of Q. central state
power and water authority. This
body would be given the duties of
the present Colorado river commits
sion plus the responsibilities OF CO.
ordinating all water, hydro-electric
and irrigation development in the
state.
2-Tax revision. It is likely the
states tax structure will be given
a thorough going over to examine
the plea of the state Farm Bureau
Federation for more equitable
of the tax burden
3-Fcrmation of state depart
ment of agriculture. The state at
present has no central board deal
ing with agricultural affairs, but
does have a number of independent
and often overlapping bodies,
which would be put under the tent
of one, all-inclusive department.
Costs Reduction
4HReduction of the costs of state
Consolidation of So
called overlapping agencies and
pcssible Capitalization of all pur-
chasing would be considered under
this heading.
5-Revision of state industrial
compensation laws to provide pro-
tection against silicosis and other
industrial diseases.
