Show P POLITICAL ANALYSTS N APPRAISE pp mt L GUS bOV BLOOD ADMINISTRATION i Find that his stewardship has carried out program of New Deal r d state indebtedness and cut state property property prop- prop T erty tax r o Political analysts ot of the national Deal had come to the tile conclusion sign sion Wednesday that only the state New Deal program developed by Governor Henry H H. H Blood could be made to fit the national mold Their conclusion was that only b by continuing the New Deal program which Governor Go Blood and his administration ad ad- I ministration had put Into operation I could Utah be In any favorable i position to receive the continued benefits of the national program Without reference to the gov goy governors governors governor's personal charm and dignity or the color and dash of either the In Independent candidate or the Republican nominee these supporters support support- ers were Impressed with three facts First that the sympathies and attitudes of the Independent and the Republican nominee were unknown quantities and the people could not gauge what would be their attitude toward the national New Deal program Second that Governor Bloods Blood's known record and support of the New Deal had been definite and wholehearted and finally that the cold figures on the New Deal program In Utah were so Intermingled between state and nation that none could separate them without destroying both Latest data show that more than has been made available avail able to Utah through federal agencies either In the form of ot di direct dl dl- I grants from federal funds or through loans extended through federal agencies This vast sum has been used to support the destitute destitute des des- the unemployed the farmer and the business man It has has' brought relief to our people and supported their economic and sound I existence I Credit for Cor this vast program of recover recovery and reconstruction has Ius mostly been given to the president but hut allowing great credit to the Utah congressional delegation who was it that paved the way for this program to be put Into operation in Utah These same supporters after analyzing the situation have found that to receive this great assistance It was necessary to enact Into law lawa a great many state enabling acts to create and organize a number of state slate agencies and finally to lay cold cash on the line Une to match the federal grants This they say Is where Governor Governor Gover Gover- nor Blood has come Into the pic pic- ture They found that he has as been to Washington to get this money Their search through the messages of the governor to the legislature and of le legislation enacted showed that he lie has aggressively campaigned campaigned cam cam- for forand and signed a score of laws which made It possible forthe forthe for forthe the national New N w Deal to get to work here They found also that he created or had created state agencies and had raised the cold cash to get Utah in line and that he then sold his programs to national na na- na New Dealers figuratively opening their purse strings for tor the New Deal to get under wa way here These men dug deep Into the record to determine what Governor Governer Bloods Blood's New Deal has meant to Utah They found It as the same alphabet the same type of service as the presidents president's and they realize that the two men have been marching march march- ing along together They see that the Resettlement administration has made more than one and one half million dollars in Ioan f 1 u J n v v IU v L grunts grants in Utah for rural rehabilitation tion which brought relief to more than distressed farming fam fame They point to the fact that New Deal history if it were written today to to- day could not be told without an item to the effect that loans from the federal land bank and the land bank commissioner brought relief to families and totaled 12 They question the wisdom of oC supporting a candidate for Governor Gover Gover- nor who might Interfere with a housing program which shows approximately ap ap- ap- ap proximately notes Insured for modernizing home and some 1445 other notes Insured for tor new homes the two reaching proportions of 6 to date They know that the A A. A A. A A A. A was held unconstitutional but not until It it had brought agricultural relief f to the tune of paid to Utah farmers and then they found I that under the name of the soil Conservation Act a new program was brought out to replace the act declared invalid This act they found requires exact and comprehensive compre compre- cooperation b by the states to make It workable They know also that Utah farmers have received re re- re third one more financial benefits from A A. A. A A. A than the na nil nn average and they question the wisdom of votes being cast In any way which ml might ht Interfere with Utah's Impending for Improving Ing the lot of the program farm farm- er ere They recall the prompt action taken b by our Governor In drouth relief which brought some 2000 federal mone money to meet the the emergency and saved farmers from losses Josses of They know that the Home Owners Own Own- ers Loan Ioan Corporation has served senell I shelter for nearly families and given them a n new lease on life and a new lease on their homes to the tune fund of more than I These men cannot fail fall to see seo that I administration leaders nationally will feel teel that they have been bitten I in n the hand hond If IC their state running mato mate Is thumbed out Then the they find the vast aid nill given through the Reconstruction Finance Fin Fin- Finance ance Cor Corporation Oration to support the tho business and economic Interests of the state reaching a total approachIng approach approach- Ing the mark with disbursements disbursements dis dis- crowding to date and note the state legislation legislation legisla legisla- tion supported and passed which helped to make this possible And what of the state b being ln the first to take talce fullest advantage of the federal program to make safe the savings accounts of her people In banking Institutions and Governor Governor Gover Gover- nor Bloods Blood's action In having a state law passed which made this possible As students looking over an arithmetic problem these men turned their attention to the unfortunates unfortunates un un- without a bank account and without work Here they found emergency relief expenditures in Utah reached more than to March 1 of this year and that thatto thatto thatto to get this federal aid Governor Blood had to put on the line 3 3 from state funds and another from local taxing taxing tax tax- ing units There must be credit due an any Governor who balances his budget brings tax relief to dis distressed property owners and at the same time finances so stupendous a program Furthermore they see public works programs and work progress progress pro pro- gress programs today fresh from the state and national agencies programs which were developed by Governor Blood and they know that men like Ickes Hopkins and other Federal disbursing agencies would not relish the Idea of any upset in a program now working so smoothly And what of at Utah's r re re- r n program the greatest over ever undertaken In this state Through this means the federal agencies will put or have already put more than to develop develop de de- the state by reclamation and they cannot see nee how this program so dependent on the states state's closest aid can enn continue to operate smoothly smooth smooth- ly by electing an any other than Governor Governor Gov Gov- Blood who has brought this program to fruition The record discloses a public works program and they find that Governor Blood has to raise 1 of this to finance the undertakings and in addition a building construction program putting putting put put- ting federal money Into non federal projects was sponsored b by him and carried out And what of the gigantic road construction program which Is operated by the state under fet feral ral aid with Governor Blood the first to put New Deal money to work on on roads Here same Mime federal funds have been placed at atthe atthe atthe the disposal of a state agency to tobe tobe tobe be matched from state sources and used to put men to work and at atthe

equal in the states state's history his his- tory in business management and finance A reduction in bonded debts during luring his administration approaching ap ape ap- ap the mark a acut acut acut
