ROOSEVELT AND TRUMAN TO
BE ELECTED NOVEMBER 7TH,
SAYS SENATOR MCFARLAND
wherever have Gone The General Feeling Is That
We Shouldn't Change Administrations During
War;" Declares Senator

PHOENIX, Sept. 14-President
Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman,
Democratic vice presidential NOM
inee, without doubt will be
elected, u. S. Sen. Ernest w. Nc
Farland declared Friday on visit
to Phoenix to check up on home
front needs while Congress is
marking time until after the Nov.
general election.
I'm my opinion the Arizona
senator asserted, "Mr, Roosevelt
and my senate colleague, Harry
Truman of Missouri, without doubt
will be elected"
He added that wherever I have
gone the general feeling is that we
shouldn't take a chance to make a
change in administrations when we
are winning the war and are going
to win the peace.
There is no substitute for expert
ence," Mcfarland said, land this
is no time to experiment"
With a senatorial group, McFar-
land went to Lamar, Mo-, from
Washington, DC, to attend the
ceremonies at which Senator Tru-
man was formally notified of his
nomination for vice president.
Everything looks Democratic in
Missouri" the Arizona senator said.
Senator Mcfarland asserted two
of the major pieces of legislation
which had been pending before
Congress-the surplus commodity
and reconversion bills-are now in
the hands of conference commit
tee, which is endeavoring to work
out differences between the senate
and house on provisions of the acts.
IT am watching that situation, -
the senator said. "They are impor-
tant measures and will be vital to
our postwar economy"
He said congressional leaders had
reached agreements that no contro-
versial measures would be taken up
during this period, during which
most of the national lawmakers are
in their home states campaigning
for reelection.
While in Arizona, Senator McFar-
land said he would try to visit as
many communities as possible for
chats with the home folks" He
said he also was working on several
matters.
The US. Senate subcommittee on
irrigation, of which Mcfarland is
chairman, is planning series OF
hearings in New Mexico and other

War Boom At
Peak
In Arizona

PHOENIX, Sept. 14-Arizona is
just about at the peak of her war
time boom and from this point on a
decline, or at least a ''leveling off -
can be expected in businss. Such
is the opinion of merchants and
others who have analyzed recent
sales tax returns.
State Tax Commissioner Dave
O'Neil reports that sales taxes for
July and August came to $1,221,-
5OO.79. This was an increase of ST.
per cent over the 81 ,155 ,042.37 col
lected in the same months of 1943
But that figure was an increase
of % per cent over July and August
Of 1912! The boom was really or
last summer. Phoenix, for instance
was then filled with soldiers sent
to Camp Horn and Camp Hyder for
desert training. Those camps are
now closed; the personnel of near
by aviation fields is greatly reduced
and two fields are to be shut down
in October.
But for superhuman efforts to
increase the output of copper and
lumber, Arizona would probably be
on the downgrade already in sales
taxes. Production of those COM
modities cannot be expanded fur
ther since there are no more men to
be hired. There is at least slight
shrinkage of the population and
merchants can scarcely expect any
increase in dollar volume of sales as
long as most prices are frozen.

Arizona Voters To Choose Between
Pension Plans
AT General Election In November

PHOENIX, Sept. 14-Serious dis
agreement has broken out between
oldsters who favor two different
pension amendments which will
appear on the Arizona ballot at the
November election.
One of these is the initiated $3.50
At Co. measure, which provides Tor
3 per cent transactions tax and
he payment of $50 month to
every person over so who have lived
in the state three years out of the
last five, regardless of need.
Increase In State Plan
The other was referred to the
people by the Legislature. It raises
from $40 to $50 the maximum
monthly pension which may be paid
to persons over IS, under the pres
ent social security system.
A large and apparently growing
group believes that 1850 at co. is
completely unreasonable and i'm
possible, and that it's advocates are
prejudicing the voting public against
both proposals.
The two factions have had some
hot Sunday afternoon debates at
Library Park, which is to Phoenix
what Hyde Park is to London.
While petitions were being circu-
lated, a Phoenix organization was
formed to urge citizens not to sign.
Enough signatures were obtained
despite this opposition. Now the
same league, headed by farmer
named Nat M. Dysart, is planning
a vigorous prediction campaign.
Examine $50 At so
In preparation, a detailed exam
ination is being made of $3.50 at co.

cial job is to ascertain how 3 per

lie Bauer, Eddie Coleman, Charlie

mentioned list you can see that
there is one guy I'd surely draft.
What an outfit that would be!
All the general would have to do to
have them capture Berlin would be
to tell them there is keg CT cold
