The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-05-24

who produce the wealth of the State l will in greater measure share in its profits.
 Strikes and labor troubles being to the men who strike, as well as to the business interests of the State, de- prive the Government of the copper products of our State, which is es- the war. With a view of adjusting these matters so that capital will be protected in it's investment, and the laborer be given just and equitable wage, in order that he may be able to meet his obligations, take care of his family and thus remove the cause of discontent and put an end to strikes and labor troubles, I promise the people of Arizona, if nominated and elected Governor, that I will sup port proper and constructive labor legislation and the administration of the same, to the end that our laboring class of people receive proper compen sation and consideration.
 A just, equitable and uniform com pensation or liability law should be placed on our Statute Books. The present makeshift is not satisfactory to either employer or employee. would favor the appointment of a joint committee of employer and em- ployee with power to jointly formu- late such a system of laws as would fairly and reasonably compensate the injured employee or his family in case of death, for submission to the Legislature for proper action at the earliest convenient time.
 Fourth: I will insist that all pub lie offices of the State and County are administered efficiently and eco nomically. so that the burden of tax ation may be held down to the mini mum, and will advocate and work for such laws that will be the means of bringing about the often promised and seldom realized economy in State Government.
 Fifth: I am for supplementing our Prohibition Law, by proper and ade- quate legislation, in order that the same can and will be effectively en- forced.
 Sixth: I pledge my support to the end that the Red Light Abatement Bill, House Bill No. 4, passed by the Third State Legislature and referred to the voters on referendum peti- tion, becomes a law. Seventh: I will endeavor to have our election laws amended and revis- ed in such manner that they may be clear to all citizens, electors, and ad- ministrative officials of the State. Eighth: I favor the ratification of the Constitutional Amendments by our State of the nation wide Prihibi- tion and Woman's Suffrage Laws.
 Ninth: I am for a continuation of our State Highway system and addi- tional good roads. Will also insist that the Federal Government build a sys. tenn of good roads along the southern boundary of the State, the same be- ing in my judgment vital military necessity for our present and future protection.
 I believe that the full authority oi the Legislative and Executive bran
 ches of the State Government should
 be exercised in the enactment and en
 fcrcement of adequate laws for the protection of life and property alons
 the Mexican Border.
 Tenth: I favor continued and ade
 quate appropriations for the mainten
 ance of the Public Schools and Insti
 tutions of the State. in order to keel them up to the highest standard
 Realizing our total unpreparedness
 when entering this worlds greatest o
 all wars, and knowing the necessit.
 and importance of specialized trainin
 and advantages of some, am in favo
 of additionl appropriations an
 revenues for our schools in order tha
 we may give our boys and girls voca
 tional, industrial and military trainin
 of the highest order. Eleventh: As Commissioner to tn State Land Department, I have CT deavored to secure for the State tn : greatest amount of revenue consis , ent with good business policy in tn leasing and sale of the State and II stitutional lands. My report to tn State Land Department will show tn ? results achieved and I assure you tha feel great pride in this Depar ] ment of State, and am in favor of ? continuation of the present broad coI structive land policy.
 } Twelfth: I am for legislation tha will deal effectively with those pet pie who in any way hamper or hinde our industrial, military and financis efforts to speedily and effectfvel , prosecute the war. There should b farnnnri1iror or hoIF
