PLAN SPONSORED
BY LEGION GROUP

Coolidge automobile owners max,
ing short trips around the state or
even around the county are urged
TO make every effort to carry a
full load of passengers in coopera-
tion with a nationwide movement
TO share-the-ride that tires or pri-
vately owned as well as public
conveyances may serve the widest
possible purpose.
Under the direction OF Paul
Loucks. chairman of an American
Legion war transportation commit.
tee arrangements have been made
at the chamber OF commerce Of
fices for registering all cars driv.
ing to any point where owners de
sire to share-the-ride. Loucks
points out that many Coolidge
people drive to Phoenix, Tucson
and other nearby points almost
daily with no more than one or
two passengers. Now IT is possible
Tor folks TO call the chamber OF
commerce and ascertain II anyone
is leaving the city for any point
with whom they might ride.
AS an example II Jien Doe IS
leaving tomorrow morning for
Phoenix to spend the day 1t would
only be necessary for him to call
the Chamber of Commerce. give
his name and address and say. I'm
leaving in the morning at 10
O'Clock for Phoenix. VIII spend the
day there and probably return
about p. m. Do you have anyone
listed who would like 10 make the
trip | can take two passengers.
The chamber of commerce per
son will then say yes, If any and
list the names of those who have
registered as desiring TO make
such a trip.
II will all work out very simply

willing to cooperate.

Peter II. Ellington. widely
known Casa Grande valley farmer
and member of the board of direc-
tors OF San Carlos Irrigation and
Drainage District this week an
nounced his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for state
senator from Pinal county.
Ellington, known as Pete
throughout the county was a mem.
Der of the senate during 1885 and
1886. He has owned property in
Casa Grande since 1919 and is one
of the larger influential farmers
OF the county.
In announcing his candidacy Eth
ington pledges himself to keep
uppermost in his mind the need OF
the farmers of Arizona in all mat
ters of legislation which should be
presented to the state legislature.
The Coolidge examiner., 1942-07-24

| of Agriculture for consideration.
The farm labor subcommittee of
the California State Board of Agri-
culture Planning Committee liked
the plans basic ideas, and the
Planning Committee has endorsed
1t as a good mechanism for distri-
buting Mexican labor, in the case
that Mexican labor is brought into
the q. S.
Difficulties of bringing in MexI-
can labor have never been worked
out. and now that Mexico is at
war it is doubtful whether we can
depend on Mexican labo: to solve
the problem. AS substitute or
possible means of working out this
problem the Federal government
would establish, either under the
War Manpower Commission or the
appropriate Department of Agrirul-
ture agency, national or reg
ional farm labor authority. This
new authority would recruit on a
voluntary basis. farm labor force
large enough to prevent actual loss
or important wartime crops. The
labor forces would be used only to
move from one critical harvest
area to the next to supplement
inadequate local labor supplies.
This would not necessarily
mean that the Authority would
recruit them only from Arizona
and California but from all states
possible. Mexico included, if that
becomes desirable and possible.
This farm authority agency would
provide for the pay of the workers
and would also transport them to
areas at the time they are needed
most. This authority would also
assume responsibility for provid-
ing transportation, camps and med
ical care. In conjunction with this
the plan originally proposed that
the government would also charge
the growers a per capita fee to
cover the cost of camps, transpor-
tation, etc, but of course all but
the basic idea is subject to modi-
fieation. The idea behind the
whole thing Is to guarantee them
specific minimum wage for six
months of the year, possibly with
bonus If they stayed with the
authority the full time. The grow
ers would pay prevailing wages, of
course, but they would make the
payment to the government, and
the government would pay the
workers, probably also reimburs-
ing them for the time lost in
travel.
This analysis on the farm labor
problem is only tentative at this
time. Inasmuch as these are only
proposals. the Pinal County Grant
Office submits them to the general
public of Pinal County for consid
eraion. Further developments along
this proposed plan will be pub
lishtd in the local newspapers of
Pinal County"
