played in Arizona as it is played
nationally. Mix up the Democrats
in their own family, cause squab-
BILE whenever possible and hope for
a split in November, seems to be
the pattern. This is seen in the
trouble between Garvey and A. L..
Means, state examiner.
Do not be surprised if there is
an initiative measure circulated to
make the possession of a slot ma
chine misdemeanor or more. That
would mean that no individual or
club could own one of the ma
chimes. A bill is now resting in
committee in congress that would
make it violation of federal law
to ship the one-armed bandits from
one state to another. With all the
"take" Uncle gets from the license
stamps for each machine, it is
doubtful if the SolonS will lop OFF
that source of revenue.
There are many who are of the
opinion that the State Welfare ap-
preparation bill was deliberately
jammed up during the recent spe-
cial session to insure a return en-
gagement of the legislature. There
is an old saying that the only peo-
pie who are hurt by special ses-
sions are the governor and the tax
payers.
A former senator who served in
the old days with Bill Kelly, Doc
Sims, Mulford Winsor and Al Fa-
YOUR, remarked, with tear in his
voice: "The Legislative ability and
parliamentary procedure was then
at its highest peak but now seems
to be practically nil. There is a
complete lack of leadership in both
houses and those who could always
be relied upon to keep the legisla-
tive wheels in motion are no more"
Elmer has things in an uproar at
the Arizona State ospital. Elmer
is a cat owned by the Infamous
Ruth Judd, an inmate of that in
stitution for couple decades.
Seems Elmer has taken sick and
was transferred to Kindness Ami
NAL Hospital in Phoenix. Since
then, Miss Judd, the undisputed
boss of ward "B," has been raising
cain. Last week she locked anoth-
er inmate in a small closet in fit
of temper. What that double muir
deress was doing with keys to lock
and unlock doors at the state hos
pital for the insane is hard to un-
derStand.

Vehicular Falls
May Cause Death

Falls from vehicles are the most
frequent cause of death and IN
juries on farms, says A. B. Ballan-
tyne, rural sociology specialist for
the Agricultural Extension Service
at the University of Arizona.
Tractors are most frequently
named in accidental falls, causing
% per cent of the accidents. Com
bines and harvesters are next,
causing 9 per cent of the farm ac-
cidents. Haying equipment and
power saws are others frequently
named in accident causes.
Danger hours are between 1000
a. m. and 100 p. m. and the hour
or two before quitting time. This
shows that fatigue and haste are
the argest contributing factors
causing careleSSneSS.
Stop working with machine be-
fore you become tired and be in
less of hurry. If you don't, you
may become one of the $500 farm
people killed during any single
year.

In any telephone directory in
any city, the interested may find
the answers to many political ques-
tions. For instance, in the Phoenix
directory classified section under
the listing, Lawyers, you will
find three names listed with the
number 8-34O4. The names to which
that number is assigned are Rich
ard F. Hairless, Cavett Robert and
Nicholas Udall. Hairless, Democra-
tic candidate in the primary cleo
ton of 1948 will again be a candi-
date for the position he aspired to
in that campaign. Robert and
Udall will, of course, support him
in the coming campaign.
Cavett Robert, legislative guild
ing light and attorney for the real
estate operators in the state (and
there are hundreds of them) has
handed Hairless a scoop towards
the bloc votes. Hairless will thus
have several of the bloc votes that
Garvey enjoyed two years ago.
Falling, or about to fall into the
Hairless hat are the votes of the
cattlemen, the produce growers
and several state departments.
Garvey, while not being a polit-
ical heavyweight, is the most So
cial-minded governor Arizona has
ever experienced. Garvey cares
little for the old game of politics,
but there are many hackers of the
governor who believe that his gra-
ciousnesS and social aptitude will
overcome any lack of political abil-
ity when it is time for the electors
to cast their votes.
Sen. Clay Sinner, Navajo county,
walked out and upset the Senate'S
majority bloc. Sore over the con-
firmations of John Scott to the
highway commission, Sinner went
home. Rumor has it that Sinner
was sore as boiled owl. He will
not return to the capital.
The State Highway Department
is definitely split over the guber-
Material campaign. On one side
are the patronage boys and on the
other are aligned the traffic code
constituents. The appointment OF
John Scott to the commission will
materially strengthen Garvey's po-
sition and may enable him to carry
the department. Scott is a highly
rated political strategist and along
with State Engineer, w. c. LEI
ebvre, knows his way around the
department and is well liked in
most divisions. There is some in
dication, too, that former secretary
and Garvey's 1948 campaign man.
ager, Gene Eagles, will be given a
good berth on the highway depart
ment and may replace Mel Good
SOD before the summer thermom-
eter hits the top.
The fine hand of GOPism def
initely showing in the leadership OF
the house. Rep. R. H. Wallace, the
COP member seems to be the clev-
er ring master and Speaker Ray
Langham the principle foil in that
particular act. The old triple play
of Evers to Tinker to Chance is
evidence when columnist Bill
Turnbow throws the ball to Wal
