Director Jeffers reported chemists

tire good for all but military and

will be allotted for essential civilian

The first large synthetic rubber
plant will be opened at Institute,

Sometime after mid-1943, we
ought to have enough synthetic
tires to make an appreciable differ
ence in the situation regarding es-

we ought to have enough to begin

There's A Reason

Governor Sidney P. Osborn established prece-
dent in the primary election by carrying every county
in the state and polling votes than all his oppon-
ents combined.
This remarkable showing was not the result OF
fluke or accident There's reason
The administration of Sidney P. Osborn as chief
executive Of Arizona distinguished by many actions
which to strengthen his position In the conf
dence of the people of the State
His achievement in setting up statewide civil
ian defense council at a time when no funds were
available demonstrated his great ability organ
izer.
The fact that every taxpayer in Arizona this year
will benefit from lower combined county and state
tax rate than at any time within the past several
years, despite conditions reveals Governor Os-
born in the role of competent economist.
The uncomprOmsing position of the Governor in
favor of an honest and adequate compensation law
for victims Of silicoss in mines showed that he
has the courage of his convictions He refused to be
sidetracked from the main objective by halfway
measures.
The Governors fight to humanize and iberalize
the administration Of the social security laws in Ar
IONA has endeared him to thousands Of recipients of
an old age assistance.
These are only few of the outstanding policies
of the Osborn administration.
Combined and rolled into one they have served
to distinguish him in the minds and hearts OF Arl-
zonans as The Peoples Governor.
This feeling of the great majority that he is
really and truly governor Of the people accounts for
his outstanding success in the primary election.
The same confidence and good will presage for
him overwhelming victory in the general election
