The three camps, one now open
at Coldwater, near Phoenix, another
opening in April near Eloy and the
third under construction and due to
open in May near Yuma, cost the
federal government more than $780,
0O0-and will accommodate only $50
to 1000 families.
WHAT ABOUT
THE REST?
What many persons are ponder
ing is what is to become of other
migratory workers once these-and
three contemplated mobile camps
are filled.
The camp at Coldwater IS believed
to be the largest in the nation. It
is really a little town, with its own
water system and sewage disposal
plant Yet last year, at the height
of the harvest season, more than
1000 families were turned away.
The camps were the federal gov
ernment's answer when Arizona in
sisted that she-with law requir-
ing three years residence for relief
was unable to take care of the
migrants.
But the camps are not the gov
ernment's only answer.
The Farm Security Administra-
ton which has built or is building
the camps, has gathered enough
staple foods for a small army. AL
ready, half hundred stations have
been established and even now are
ditributing thousands of pounds OF
flour, sugar, cereal, salt pork, canned
meat and dried fruit.
OKIEs TO GET
MEDICAL CARE
The government has another an
swer: medical care.
This will be accomplished largely
through the Agricultural Workers
Health and Medical Association, in
which membership is held by many
of the thousands of field workers
who annually flow back and forth
across Arizona.
Clinics operated by nurses, with a
staff of doctors on call, have been
established by the association in
Phoenix, Chandler, Casa Grande,
Yuma, Stafford, and Avondale. One
hundred and fifty physicians, and
so dentists, serve the association,
and 100 drugstores provide supplies
at special prices.
A dozen large growers control the
states cotton producing business
Operating with large investments
and under certain market hazards,
they must produce a maximum
amount of cotton in minimum of
time at the smallest cost.
When they deemed Arizona's pop
ulation of farm workers far from
capable of meeting their peak-sea-
son demands, they distributed hand

Mr.. Hayden was one Of the MEM

The city's contribution to start

and there would be additional ex-
penSeS.
The plan will be brought before

You might even throw in convenient BLUM
Present household normal to view,
But gradually picturing just few
Who might have many motives to kill,
In divers ways, by dagger or pill.
smart detective must enter the picture,
sort Of poet and scoundrel mixture,
And here's one that's nobody's fool,
The unpredictable inevitable con -Sta-bule.
The murder victim Is an antiquated aunt
With scads Of money-thats the plant.

bills in many states. Advertisements
were placed in newspapers. Migra-
tory workers from the "dust bowl
and other areas where employment
was at a premium streamed into the
state. True, there was work, but it
was highly seasonal-and lasted only
until cotton had been picked.
RANCHERS WEREN'T
READY FOR GUESTS
Cotton ranchers had made no pro-
vision to house or feed the workers.
The migrants, few of whom owned
anything mere than the old tent,
bedraggled household goods and
their aged automobile, couldn't earn
enough to rent house and still
obtain food.
So they camped along canal banks
and on the edges of the big cotton
fields. There was no sanitation.
They cerried water from the same
canals which irrigated the fields.
The migrants finally rebelled. Two
years ago they marched along Phoe-
nix streets-thousands of them
after the cotton picking season
ended. They marched directly to
representatives of the state and fed
eral governments, and demanded
food.
They got it too, until arrange
ments could be made to help them
return home.
THEY'LL BE BACK
TO HANDLE BIG CROP
That the migrants will be back
is certain. They'll be needed, for
large cotton producers have discov-
cred what they fervently hope will
prove a new gold mine" In the
Pima 0ong staple) cotton fields of
Pinal county.
So the really big growers have
gambled thousands Of dollars on
sinking wells, many as deep as 600
feet, to get the necessary water.
But just because therell be more
cotton doesn't mean ,there'll be any
more time to harvest it, so the mig
ration of pickers will be greater.
Since more migrants present
greater problems, those upon whose
shoulders their welfare will rest are
racing to get " the house in order" a
half year in advance.
NEXT: Okies who made good.

This is the first Of two articles
describing what's being done this
spring to meet the April influx of
migratory workers into Arizona
and California.
BY JERRY McLAIN
NEA Service Special Correspondent
Phoenix, Ariz., April 1.-THE Okies
will soon be on the march again,
and Arizona already Is preparing
for its greatest influx of migratory
laborers.
In three counties Mar c opa,
Pinal and Yume-a 179,000-acre
cotton crop was harvested last year.
An estimated 10000 to 10000 migra-
tory workers poured in to harvest
that crop.
The 1910 crop will be larger-and
more migratory workers are expec-
ted; will, in fact, be necessary.
So Arizona soon will have three
of the six largest migratory labor
camps in the nation, and will set up
what probably is the greatest med
ical plan ever conceived.

There are, undoubtedly, g
number of matters which we

Issues Brought Into Clear-Cut
Focus By Gubernatorial
Campaign Promises
BY FRANK B.

RALEIGH, Dec. 9-0P- PROB
lens which will confront the l94l
general assembly have been
brought into clear-cut focus by
promises made during a guberna-
torial campaign and hearings held
by legislative commissions.
Although the opening Of the as
sembly is still a month aWay-the
body will convene January 8-lt IS
possible to predict many OF the
matters which will cause legisla-
tive fireworks.
First job of the lawmakers will
be to elect a speaker of the house
and a president-pro-tem of the
senate. Candidates for the speak
ership are O. M. Null of Shelby
and George Uzzell of Salisbury.
John D. Larkins, Jr., of Trenton
and Archie Gay of Jackson are
the leading contenders for presi-
dent-pro-tem.
Two problems have been brought
to the forefront recently by com
missions authorized by the last
legislature, and appointed by Gov
ernor Hoey. Those concern a state
wage-hour law and the establish
ment of a retirement fund for
teachers and other state employees,
At present there is no state wage
hour law in North Carolina, al
though the federal wage-hour law
applies to virtually all persons
employed in interstate industries
A commission recently held hear
ings on the question, but has no
announced it's recommendations.
A commission studying retire
ment recommended that pension
be established for all state EN-
ployes, at a cost of about 81, 800, 00l
a year. Governor-elect Broughto1
said during his campaign that he
expected the legislature to provide
a retirement system for teachers
Broughton, during his campaign
also went on record as favorine

three per cent sales tax of all foods
purchased for home consumption
Consequently, the sales tax, al
ways a bone of contention in the
legislature, is almost certain tc
cause some of the major debates
of the session.

the legislature will be the budget
