STATEMENT FROM THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
ON SALARIES FOR ELECTED STATE OFFICIALS
Under the Constitutional amendment adopted by the people in 1970, the Com­mission
on Salaries for Elected State Officials 'was chosen. This Commission, after
extended study, made recommendations as to the salaries for principal executive and
judicial positions of the State of Arizona which have, with minor variations, since
become official. It also recommended that the salary for the Arizona State Legislature
be established as $10,000 and this recommendation is subject to a vote of the people
at the November, 1972, election.
The report contains a quotation from the recommendations of the national
Citizens Conference on State Legislatures which says, "No legislative salaries in the
United States should be below the $1O,OOO-a-year level," and recommends a much
higher salary for larger states. The Committee on Economic Development has
recommended a minimum salary of $15,000. The Arizona Commission has accepted
the lower of those two recommendations. The Commission report says:

"This recommendation reflects the Commission's conviction that a direct reo
lationship exists between the quality of a legislative body and the compensation of
its members. As the State of Arizona continues to grow and become more diversified,
the demands upon its legislative body and the individual members will vastly increase.
For many, legislative service has come to represent virtually a full-time proposition
even at the present time.
"The levels of legislative compensation should not preclude able people who
lack private means from service in the Legislature because of the financial sacrifice
involved. In light of the costs of running for and then serving in the Legislature,
some financial sacrifice is inevitable for most people. The Commission recommends
a salary level for submission to a vote of the people which will encourage qualified
candidates and insure their financial independence from undesirable interests.;'

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF A YES VOTE ON PROPOSITION 102
This amendment to the State Constitution retains the requirement that all elected
officials in Arizona be "qualified electors" and residents of the particular area in
which they are elected. However, it eliminates the requirement that all non-elective
officials, prior to their appointment, be registered voters and residents of the political
subdivision in which they are apponted.
This ameu.dment does not prohibit local goverpments from requiring appointed
officials to be residents and qualified electors of their area. It does allow a suffi­cient
degree of flexibility for local units of government to determine this question
for themselves depending upon local needs.
The principal advantage of striking the residency requirement for appointed officials
rests with the fact that many local governmental agencies are finding it extremely
difficult to fill technical jobs with people who are also qualified electors of the
particular city or town. With the technical expertise involved in many appointed
J. positions today, this residency requirement only makes it more difficult for local
governments to recruit qualified employees.
As originally written the Constitution of Arizona in Article 7, Section 15 requires
residency and electoral status for both appointed and elected officials. It is important
to note that this article was included in the State Constitution at a time when the
mobility of the U. S. population was minimal and when highly technical skills were
only rarely used at the local level.
By allowing greater latitude for local government in recruiting technically skilled
employees, the voters of the State of Arizona would provide an atmosphere in
which good workers can be recruited and retained for local government

ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 105
Passage of Proposition 105 would streamline and modernize the functions and
duties of the Corporation Commission, changing it into a true Public Utilities Com­mission.
The three commissioners would continue to direct the work of the com­mission
and would still be elected by the people. The proposed amendment distributes
some of the duties relating to private corporations to more appropriate state de­partments,
but leaves the regulation of public utility rates to the commission as one of
its principal functions.
The goal of Proposition 105, along with an accompanying statute to become
effective upon approval of this Proposition, is to provide more efficient public
utility. regulation at less cost. to both tax payers and rate payers. To achieve this .
goal, the proposed amendment eliminates the so-called "fair value" method of
establishing the value of public utility property for rate determinations, and sub­stitutes
generally the use of "depreciated original cost prudently invested," a
method now used in thirty-three other states. This change eliminates the need for the
commission and the utility to obtain expensive and time consuming expert appraisals
of the fair value of the public utility's property each time a rate review is under­taken.
Instead, reliance is primarily placed on actual original cost to the utility of
its property when first acquired, less depreciation, which data can be easily ob­tained,
verified, and computerized for future rate. proceedings. This method will
enable the commission to do its work more efficiently and at substantially less cost.
In order to prevent undue rate case delay, the proposed amendment provides
that if the commission has not reached a decision on a utility rate change within
four months after filing of the application, the proposed new rates go into effect
under bond or other showing of financial responsibility, and subject to refund to
the customer with interest, if eventually disallowed. Thirty-five other states presently
have similar provisions.
The accompanying statute, if Proposition 105 is approved, would also establish
a hearing division and a legal division to assist the commission in performance of its
duties, as well as a revolving fund for payment of extra costs incurred in invest-igating
rate charges and classifications of utilities.
Proposition 105 also adds sewer corporations to those public service corpora-tions
which are regulated by the commission.
The proposed amendment and accompanying statute were supported in the
Legislature by members of the present Corporation Commission, as well as others
who believe it will result in better and less expensive public utility rate regulation.
The public will surely benefit by the less costiy method of the proposed amendment.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF YES VOTE ON PROPOSITION 106
The proposed change in the State Constitution would permit Arizona Cities
and Towns the necessary flexibility in their bond programs to acquire before it is
too late - the land for parks and open space that will be needed tp create a
balanced and livable urban environment for the population of the future.
Most Arizona Municipalities are growing fast and their officials know they
will have to acquire land for parks and open space for the future. The best time to
do this is before residential development takes place. It makes good sense to set
aside the right piece of land, in the right .location for a park or for open space
and let the homes and businesses develop around it.
It makes even more sense to buy the land early when it is the least expensive.
The taxpayers can save a lot of dollars in the long run.
22 Pamphlet Containing Amendments to be
The problem is financing. Fast-growing municipalities need so many things
to keep up with the needs of the .people that there is little money available to put
into land for future use. The answer is -to issue low-interest muniseipal bonds, buy
the land and let the future population - the folks who are going to use it - help
pay for it.
The State Constitution now sets a limit on the amount of bonds a municipality
can issue "for most purposes. It says they can't exceed four percent of the assessed
valuation of property in the community. By the time most cities have issued bonds
for police facilities, fire stations, libraries and other major public facilities there isn't
much room left under this limitation for future parks and open space.
However, the Constitution allows bonds issued for water, lighting and sewer
projects to be exempted from the four percent limit and, instead, placed under a
special 15 percent limit.
Proposition 106, if approved, would permit bonds for parks, open space
and recreational facilities to be issued under the special 15 percent limitation. This
would give municipalities the bonding flexibility they need to get ahead of develop­ment
in parks and open space acquisition.
The voters would still be protected. Each bond" issue would have to be ap­proved
at the polls by the voters of the individual city or town. Proposition 106 does
not authorize bonds for parks,it only changes the limitation on 'what an individual
municipality can issue with the permission of its own voters.

. . . ,-'
The proposed Revenue Sharing and Tax Stabilization Act is an effortt6create '
a rational tax relationship between the State of Arizona and its incorporated cities
and towns. It contains benefits for all Arizona cities, the statewide business com­munity
and the taxpayer at large.
The Act would accomplish three basic objectives:
1. It would set aside 15 per cent of the state's annual income tax collections
for an Urban Revenue Sharing Fund that would be distributed- to incorpor­ated
cities and towns according to population. Based ,on 1970 collections,
the fund would amount to about $15 million. ' '
"
2. In return, the State would preempt the authority to levy income and lUXUry
taxes. Hence, the cities and towns could not impose such taxes in the, future.
3. The State would be authorized to contract with the cities and towns for the (.
uniform collection of local sales and use taxes. This would result in greater
efficiency and lower costs to business and governments.
The Act does not provide for any new or increased taxes. The Actv.;9U1d
repeal the luxury'taxes on tobacco and alcoholic "beverages now imposed by the
City of Phoenix. In recent years, State tax revenues have consistently •exceeded'
State expenditures.
Under the Act, the Revenue Sharing program would begin July 1, 1973.
Revenue Sharing is a vital step toward a stable tax future.JnArizona, large
and small cities are caught in a revenue squeeze caused by populationgrowth,by
inflation and by increased service needs. It would be a mistake for Arizona .citiesto
turn to revenue sources such as local lyxury taxes which create a patchwork of tax
"islands" and higher administrative costs for business. Nationally, many cities have
been forced to adopt municipal wage or income taxes.
Revenue Sharing will help prevent these patterns from being repeated in
Arizona. It will allow cities to participate in a broader tax base and lighten·' the
load on urban taxpayers. It will let cities share in revenues that growa~torn~ti~~lly
with the economy and enable them to plan their services and spending levels acconl­ing
to reliable growth indicators. Uniform state collection of local taxes will reduce
the cost of doing business and pave the way for a uniform system of, taxation
throughout Arizona.
The entire state would benefit from the Revenue Sharing and' Tax Stabilization
Act. It deserves the support of Arizona voters.

STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION TO REVENUE SHARING
This measure would take 15% of the income tax revenues paid to the state by
all Arizona individuals and businesses and distribute it to cities. The cities receiving
the money would not undertake to perform any of the services presently being pro­vided
by state government.
The only way state government can pay for the cost of services it provides is
through tax revenues and Arizona enjoys no revenue surpluses to give away. If the
state turns 15% of its income tax revenues over to the cities, what will happen to the
state services that the 15% paid for? There will be no cutback in state government
services for the deinands and needs of our state continue to increase each year.
There must be an increase in state revenues to replace the 15% of the income tax
that would be given away. Either state income taxes will be increased, the state
property tax rate will be increased, the sales or other excise or luxury taxes will be
increased, or some new tax will be enacted. The result: the taxpayer will foot the
bill on this giveaway.
The concept of revenue-sharing is not at all new to Arizona. There are numerous
instances in which it is already in use. For instance, the highway users' fuel tax is
distributed to counties and cities in certain proportions by the state. Twenty-five per­cent
of the sales tax collected by the state goes to municipalities, and of the balance
that is split between the state and counties sixty percent goes to the counties. There­fore,
this measure does not establish revenue-sharing in Arizona. To the contrary,
it purposes just another tiii increase.
The power to spend should not be separated from the poWer to tax. This
measure will permit city government to increase spending of pJlblic money for
services while freeing it from the responsibility of levying a tax to pay for the
services. The elected officials of city government must not be allowed to avoid their
basic responsibilities to the people.
Revenue-sharing is not a panacea for local governments. While the concept
has been around for years in Arizona and enjoys some amount of success as a
supplement to local taxation,the present proposal of cities seizing upon current
state tax dollars without a specified reduction in state services must result in a tax
increase at the state level. In the end, it is the taxpayer who is going to lose.
We strongly urge a "NO" vote!
