In a candid critique of the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control, reform proposals call for nontransferable licenses, open hearings, 30 day license decisions, higher fees, and shifting enforcement to counties. The piece argues for a streamlined agency focusing on licensing while warning of political resistance.
James Marlow argues President Johnson shows weaker decisiveness amid cabinet vacancies and a machinists strike. He notes Rusk and Ball in limbo, Mann and Johnsonstown, and a lack of forceful public action on riots, while Congress weighs forcing an end to the airline walkout.
A discussion on using voluntary groups to tackle poverty draws attention from Ronald Reagan and Robert Finch as California figures visit Lake Tahoe. Critics label the exchange a political maneuver while proponents cite Roosevelt and Romney support for cross party efforts to address social needs.
Sydney Harris discusses Dr. John R. Platt's Streetcar Test, noting that while most leaders could be replaced without altering history, figures like Lenin Gandhi Hitler and Churchill likely changed the course of events. The piece argues individuals can mold social landscapes and cites Franklin Roosevelt as a rare example. It ends with a personal aside and a satirical election slogan.
John Riddick profiles William L. Raby, Arizona tax expert and longtime Tucson CPA, who champions taxpayers against what he calls government overreach. He recounts his rise from Chicago youth to Northwestern graduate, Navy service, and leading roles in accounting firms, the Tax Court bar, and public teaching while stressing the need to resist excessive taxation.
Milwaukee figures from 1964 show 999175 registered motor vehicles. If each car were four feet shorter the city would gain 75.6 miles of street length and if six inches narrower an extra 37.8 miles of street width.
