Vital Information You Should Have
Readers of this newspaper have been informed about
our intention to organize a Political Study Club, a digest
of whose findings we expect to publish for the voters en
lightenment on the political issues of the day. In addi
tion we shall send letters or questionnaires to all candi
dates for legislative office, State and National, and will
publish our evaluation of such replies thereto as we re
ceive, that you may know how they stand on legislation
in which you are specifically interested. We shall ask
candidates for non-legislative office, about their willing
ness to employ qualified Negroes in their office in posi
tions above that of janitors, porters, maids and char
women. It is imperative that we know about this BE
FORE they get into office as there is nothing we can do
AFTER they get in. Recently some of our democratic
office-holders were justly criticized for having failed to
support the party’s platform on which they were elected.
We hope and expect to hear more such criticism. The
party platform being the deliberate expression of the
citizens’ political desires and wishes should not be sub
jected to changes and alterations by office holders whose
duty is to carry out the expressed wishes of the people.
Platforms are and should be alterable. Changes in our
social, economic and political institutions make this nec
essary. However, desired platform alterations are pre
election functions. Changes in platform do not imply
the necessity of changes or alterations in the FUNDA
MENTAL PRINCIPLES of the party. These principles
are the mud-sills of our party and are not to be tampered
with, not even by our freshman senator, E. W. McFar
land. FEPC as you know, has to do with the security
of the common people. Spanish-Americans and Ne
groes, common people all, constitute a large segment of
the Democratic Party and are members of the party only
as they believe in its fundamental principles: the welfare
and security of the common people. Senator McFarland
sold the party short when he told us that he would sup
port FEPC if it came before the senate for a vote but
that he would not vote against the filibuster which he
knew would kill FEPC before it could get to the voting
stage. Was he for the common people in this matter?
After having silently witnessed the crucifixion of FEPC
by Bilbo’s filibuster, Senator McFarland, according to
press reports, voluntarily assassinated the anti-polltax
measure, which would have passed had he kept silent,
which he might well have done inasmuch as Arizona
believes that every citizen has the right to vote without
taxation. The principles of the Democratic Party are
the chart and compass by which its founders believed it
should be guided. A betrayal of the common people
is a betrayal of the party. Our party cannot endure if
office holders are free to re-define its principles or alter
its charted course at will. We rise to ask if the übiqui
tous Senator McFarland is a democrat or a demagogue?
All real democrats should join in sendig him back to
Florence. Mr. Harry J. Valentine, a candidate for the
U. S. Senate, is on record as favoring FEPC, Anti-lynch,
and Anti-polltax laws. So far so good*, Mr. Valentine.
But, Sir, where do YOU stand on this device called the
filibuster which has been used to defeat passage of the
above named measures? As a democrat we believe that
you should be against the filibuster. We await your
answer.

Mr. Perry Francis
Mr. Gordon Evans
leaders of the city, has this to say
about these men:
“I feel the Elks Lodge and all of
the Colored voters of Coconino
County hav real friends in these
candidates, Mr. Gordon Evans, for
Supervisor, District No. 2; Mr.
Frank M. Gold for County Attor
ney; and Mr. Peery Francis, for
Sheriff. These men are true and
tried friends of us all, —one good
turn deserves another. If we stand
by them now, they will stand by
us, if elected.
“We the Elks, especially feel
that there cannot be too much
praise and thanks given to Mr. F.
M. Gold, County Attorney for his
aid given the Lodge when we were
experiencing much difficulty in
getting started; several unfortu
nate incidents prevented the
granting of our charter from the
Grand Lodge. It was through Mr.
Gold that the difficulty was ironed
out and the charter was finally
granted. The Lodge is deeply in
debted to Mr. Gold for invaluable
aid in this matter.
“I want to say to all Elks and
non-Elks alike, the only way to
have a friend is to be one, and
when you go to the polls on July
16, —vote for Gold, Francis, and
Evans.”

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
Maricopa County
ARIZONA SUN
W. J. Eden Writes
To Water Companies
ARIZONA CORPORATION
Phoenix, Arizona,
June 20, 1946.
All Domestic Water Companies:
“Last fall this Commission wrote
a letter similar to this one to all
electric companies and to all gas
companies in the State. At the
direction of the Commission I am
addressing the following to all
domestic water companies operat
ing in Arizona.
As you know, the Constitution
of the State of Arizona provides
that “The Corporation Commission
shall have full power to, and shall
prescribe just and reasonable rates
and charges to be made and col
lected by public service corpora
tions within the State for services
rendered therein. . . .”
Due to the press of other duties
and the inadequacy of funds for
maintaining a sufficient technical
staff, the Commission has found
it impossible to analyze your costs
and determine whether the rates
charged by you are just and rea
sonable. In many instances the
Jugar Users Slow In
Filing Applications
There are approximately 800 in
dustrial users of sugar in Arizona
who either have a bigger supply
than they can use or they will face
a drastic shortage during the next
three months, according to the dis
trict Office of Price Administra
tion.
Applications for industrial users
of sugar are now being processed
by the district office of OPA, and
while July 5 is the deadline for
processing these applications, less
than 50 of the 850 eligible users in
the state have made application,
the OPA revealed.
Industrial users, the OPA ex
plained, include bakers, ice cream
manufacturers and soft drink man
ufacturers.
Applications for the July thru
September period were forwarded
to the industrial users when they
received their current allotment in
March, OPA said.
OPA officials admittd there is a
possibility that some of the eligible
I applicants may have mislaid, over
looked or lost their applications.
If such is the case, OPA said, the
district office at 17 West Van
Buren street, should be notified at
once.
Industrial users who fail to make
application before July 5, will be
penalized on a pre-rated basis, un
der government regulations, the
district OPA announcement ex
plained. In other words, the long
er they delay filing their applica
tions after July 5, the less sugar
they will receive.
zona, Nevada and Hawaii, pointed
out that the changes passed by
the House of Representatives last
week can not go into effect until
passed by the Senate and signed
by the President.
In urging veterans not to write
at this time, Colonel Cross said:
"Letters on this subject will only
make for unnecessary delay in our
work. As soon as final action is
taken by the Senate and approved
by the President, the Veterans Ad
ministration will give full informa
tion as to how veterans can take
advantage of these changes.”

domestic water companies of this
State have never had their ac
counts audited by this Commission,
or a rate base determined. Within
the next ninety days it is planned
that fi. start in this direction will
be made. In the interim we are
asking you to examine your finan
cial statements and determine
whether any excessive charges are
being made at this time. In the
event it is found that reductions
in your water rates can be made,
and you can continue to secure a
legal return on your investment,
less depreciation, you are asked to
submit an application for rate re
duction at once.
I assure you that this Commis
sion will appreciate and approve
any reduction in water rates that
you may submit at this time.
In recent weeks the Commission
has received numerous complaints
of low pressure, no doubt as a
result of the protracted drought.
However, you are reminded that
upon being granted your certifi
cate of convenience and necessity
you obligated yourself to maintain
