Arizona provides a unique set of characteristics that determined which programs would be of greater significance. These characteristics include the prominence of the federal government as a land owner, the dominance of the copper industry as an employer, and the presence of a large population of reservation Indians. Programs that were of relatively little significance in many other parts of the country were of great importance in Arizona. Such programs included the Indian New Deal, the copper code of the National Recovery Administration, and the Taylor Grazing Act. The implementation of New Deal programs depended greatly on state and local administration. Decentralization meant that local administrative agencies had a wide latitude to determine the kind of work projects undertaken. In Arizona, the political dominance of Democratic supporters of the New Deal meant that most state officials did what they could to smooth implementation of programs. |
