 per cent of those justly entitled there
 to, and for the full 100 per cent of
 prescribed compensation in damages
 The state, as trustee of the funds pro
 vided, officially guarantees the above
 results. and the employers of labor
 pay 100 per cent of the damages
 costs and all expenses. The taxpay-
 CTS are thus 100 per cent free from
 the present costs'of present methods.
 The measure is 100 per cent desir- able. E. Ryan.
 'I heard a woman say recently that
 she was for Amendment 100 because
 it's first effects would be to relieve ths sick room of the terror Of an empty purse-pay would keep coming on from the state. l think tha. a big enough reason, if there were not many others, why every women, and particularly every mother, in Arizona should work and vote for the Amend ment. Mrs. Mayfield, Phoenix.
 Any measure that provides greater security for injured persons and their families. that relieves these of wor- ries and unnecessary costs and at tEe same time lowers taxes and increases good feeling among all, is certainly to be voted for. I do not see how Amendment 100 can be defeated and believe every voter should make it a special point to see that it is not. - Mrs. W. w McNeff.
 'Thirty4seven states have adopted compensation laws like Amendment 1O0 Everywhere these laws have ere ated better relations between employ CT and employe; given prompt and proper compensation to the injured; provided livelihood for dependents; eliminated personal injury suits and lessened the financial burden Of in- dustrial accidents by the saving of monies formerly wasted in litigation. Arizona needs Amendment 100 It is a model law, Scratch the hides of it's opponents and see if they are not either labor agitators or personal in jury lawyers living on the evils of our present laws and the misfortunes of mankind. .'-E. w. Lewis.
 T am for the amendment It's ab- solutely 100 per cent good from every standpoint. It cuts out the graveyard chasers and it protects both ways-l both the owner and the workman. A large amount of mine development work is hung up right now, awaiting the vote on this measure. Let me give you a sample of how things work out under the present system: Say you have raised $1O.0OO to sink a shaft to where you can begin getting cut ore. Through no fault of yours you become defendant in a suit for dam ages. You have been unable to get a sufficient insurance; for the surety com panies are. shy of the little fellows. Win or lose, the case costs you all the money you have in the treasury. So another abandoned shaft is added to the many in Arizona. You come out with your little company broke, your miners lose their jobs, the state loses taxable property. the nation loses the metal, the taxpayers lose the week or so that was taken up by court in trying the case and a bunch of wit nesses and jurors lose time that should have been devoted to productive work. The big mines can stand this, but the developing properties cannot. I don't anything but the miner and the development man, and I am work ing for the amendment with all the enthusiasm and energy I possess.+ w B. Twitchell.
 The proposed law means State In surance paid for by the employer. II | is one Of the most progressive steps in Arizona and I will surely vote for it. That it will help do away with the labor agitator and will put an end to the activities of the shyster lawyer are two great advantages that will spring from it."-E. A. Putnam, Bisbee Y. M. C. A.
 Tt seems obvious that the Work | mems Compensation Law would prove 1 to all concerned; and moreover, if enacted into law, we are warranted in hoping that it would tend to rid society of those conscience less members of the legal profession who hitherto have been deliberate stiTrers Up of strife and, while caring | neither for the employer nor the em ployee, have proftted at the expense of both. Rev. Jacob Morton White, | Rector Episcopal Church, Bisbee.
 q think that every woman should | vote for the Workmen's Compensation | Law It means much to the wives and | of workingmen in case of ac- cident and injury as the state guar antees payment without delay of just compensation. Due to the delays pos sible under the present law there has been in the past much inconvenience and even actual suffering by the fami- | lies of injured wOrkingmen but this | will be done away with under the | amendment Mrs. A. w. Colton, Secretary Y. w. c. A. Bisbee. |
 'T am strongly in favor of State In- surance and shall vote for Amend | ment 100. The fact that it has work | ed out so well in more than thirty | states that have adopted similar com pensation laws and that in not al single one of these has it been re.
