 I am asking your ear. women voters of Arizona, as woman to woman. Listen:
 The women and Children of Arizona are the ones upon whom the heaviest burden falls when the man gets hurt -or killed.
 . Not only do they bear an equal agony with the husband and father in his suffering, or the irreparable loss in the case of his death, but upon their shoulders falls the question of existence.
 How will they live, now that the worker has been stricken?
 Where will the money for the rent, and the food, and the clothes for the family come from, when the wages of the injured man stops? ',
 Women of Arizona, you who have gone through this agony of mind and soul, and body, go out and tell your sisters your experience!
 Tell them how your man tossed in agony on his bed. Tell them how the faces of your family and your own became pinched from worry and need
 Tell them how a shyster lawyer in- duced you to sue your husbands em- ployers, how the case dragged along in court while you and your family starved and suffered. and how, when a verdict was finally reached. the lawyer and the court costs and the witness fees took all but a pitiful lit- tie. This after all your suffering
 Then tell them how it would have been under Amendment 100. How the great state Of Arnoma would have

taken up the payment of your hus- bands wages, at two-thirds of his regular pay. How you would have been able to give him every care and hasten his recovery, and how, with no mental strain of seeing his family suffer, health and strength would have re- turned quickly.
 And then how the State Insurance Commission, after finding your hus- band to be sober and reliable, but in- capacitated for his former work, could pay him a lump sum for his injuries that would enable him to purchase a farm home, or a small business that would keep him and his in comfort all of their days.
 Tell them how, if you had suffered the irreparable loss of the breadWin- ner, that the state of Arizona would have paid you. At once, a lump sum based upon your husbands daily earn ings, up to $8,000, that would have cared for you and yours for years, and how that free insurance paid by the employer compares with the s1,500 or so that the average man is able to carry on his life for the benefit of his family.

To the Editor of the Arizona Republican:
 Dear Sir:

 If elected, will undertake the duties of the office without promises obligations to any faction I am candidate not of my selection but upon the earnest solicitation of people with whom have been associated for many years.
 If you expect me to advocate measures in the legs- lature to please the views of any one individual or group you will have to give your vote to some other candidate, but if you want man who will work to the best interest of the people, give me your serious consideration, because l will endeavor to justify your confidence.
 Sincerely yours,

the support being received by the proposed amendment, and the in tellectual junk that has been palmed off on the public as argument in it's support, are enough to warn the in nocent by-stander to stop, look, and listen-to anticipate that somewhere in the bowels of the winters wood supply there is snugly sequestered the traditional Senegambian.
 Let us realize that the laws relating to master and servant, employer and employe, as we have them modern ized and perfected in Arizona, have been builded up through the com bined wisdom of centuries by gradual processes, and in their present form imbedded in our fundamental law. These laws in their steady growth have kept pace with civilization and have improved as humanity has improved. Their harShneSS and inequalities have been softened and eliminated and they have been blended in to a near appli- cation of the golden rule. This has taken centuries from that day when an English magistrate first held that the master should respond in damages for the injury of his servant injured through his negligence, and it has taken blood and brains and the work of human hearts. Even down to the adoption of our constitution there re- mained certain deplorable inequities in this body of the law, such as the Fellow Servant" doctrine, the AS sumption of Risk doctrine and the ''contributory negligence" doctrine and these doctrines were the much worked defenses of the employer and the never failing bugaboos of the in- jured workmen, or his administrator if he was dead. Our fundamental law demolished these infamous doctrines and bugaboos which were the relics of a more barbarous age, and breathed new life into the law.
 Then let US reflect that through all these years while these laws were inn perfect and primed and loaded with these bugaboos of the workingman, there was no great Macedonian call

derful all inclusive compensation law.


 We don't suppose there is a person in Phoenix that has the slightest doubt what that old woman would be sitting there selling papers today as she had for so long, had it not been for that accident. But it makes no difference what the people think, court decisions are based on expert testimony of eminent authorities.
 We suppose the medical profession will resent this as a base insinua- tion." We would like to ask these gentlemen if it is not an indisputable fact than in every important case, the nature Of which makes such evidence valuable, there is not to be found physicians of the highest eminence arrayed on each side, each side swear ing as true the opposite of what the other testified as true? The side that has the most money always has the most of, as well as the most promin- ent doctors. It isn't hard to guess in a contest between a poor workingmsn and a rich employer which side the most" and the eminence" would be on.
 They say they are going to save the workineaman from the ambulance chasing lawyer. Instead they will not only make more necessary an ambulance chasing" lawyer, but an ambulance chasing" doctor as well.
 Instead of Tightening the injured mans burden, they will be doubling it
 It seems to me that the fate of the amendment rests with the farmers of this, valley. If it was made plain to them that the law would place pre- mium on an unmarried man, and that an unmarried man meant four less to buy the farmers produce. they would vote against it.
 Yours for victory all along the line

A New Angle

Phoenix, AriZ., Oct. 30. 1918. Editor Republican, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-You have, as far as I nave seen, overlooked one clause in the "Workmen's Compensation Law" that explains what has been a great mystery to most everybody, why the Medical Association used so much haste In going on record in favor of that law.
 Section II (a) says: "If an injured empioye dies and the injury was the proAlmate cause of such death. then the beneficiary shall receive the same compensation as though the death had occurred immediately fol- lowing the injury" Further on in clause (b) we read: If the employe shall die from some cause other tha the injury, there shall be no liability for compensation after his death" Webster's dictionary defines the word ''Proximate" thus: "A proximate cause. is that which immediately pre- cedes and produces the effect, as dis tinguished from the remote, mediate or predisposing cause.'
 A human being is like a rope, a bridge or anything else. when sub- jecteo to strain he will break in his weakest point. Just as rheumatism will go first to a sprained wrist or ankle, when a mans nervous system has been shattered by an injury it will manifest itself in weak kidneys, 1 heart' lungs or any other organ of the body that have been impaired by pre- vious disease. And if the vitality of the body is not strong enough to com bat both the injury and the disease the patient succumbs to what is ap- psrently the disease.
 We had an illustration of this but a 1 short time ago, the facts of the case being familiar to almost every person in this city. A commercial traveller was ta king ride with the Adams hotel bus. He failed to make the turn and ran into an electric light standard on the corner where the hotel is located, knocking it over and badly injuring an old lady who sal back of it selling newspapers. The old lady was taken to the hospital where she died few weeks later.
 At the hearing giving the man whc injured her. two of our most eminent doctors testified that the injury did not cause her death, but she died from We believe they said heart disease A few other doctors also more or less eminent said that while she didn't die 1 from the injury, they thought it might have been the predisposing cause Of it In either case no one could collect one cent of insurance under that Won-

Where The People

The Compensation Act

To the People of Arizona:
 The fate of the proposed Work mems Compensation Law is in the hands of the voters and their will is to be expressed at the coming gen. eral election. This proposed amend ment is quick with importance to the masses of the people, and it behooves each and every voter in Arizona tc concern himself with the issue in or- der that wrong and injustice may not receive the decision by default.
 First, let us ask who are the spons- ors of this energetic and systematic movement to uproot and demolish an important and fundamental branch of the established law of the state. and Co place eyes and arms and even hu- man life upon a sliding scale. Prob ably it is true that it matters but lit file who fosters and supports any pub lie movement and that any proposed measure should succeed or fail ac- cordins to its intrinsic merit alone.

some question about the constitution ality of compulsory compensation acts on private corporations, l believe the draft of the proposed amendment to our constitution has been skillfully drawn. If it is passed, this company will at once adopt same for those de- partments which will be classed as hazardous.
 A. The objectors say that absolute dependency must be proven under this law and that, therefore, "a widow, hav- ing an only son killed through the gross est negligence of the company, cannot collect one dollar ill damages if she, per chance, is able to make her own living doing washing over the tub." This ob- jection, and half dozen more of the same character, absolutely cannot stand. The law is plain and specific in its terms, and anyone making objec- tions of that character is either ignor- ant of the law itself or he may be very properly charged with intentional mis- representation. Not only would the widow recover more than she would now get under the present law and probably more than she would ever rc- ceive under common law action, but she would be paid whether she was destitute or possessed of a fortune. Furthermore, "major dependents, s,' which are the father and mother in the event there is no beneficiary, can re- cover if they are dependent to any ex- tent upon the decedent Likewise the provision for 'minor dependents" IS liberal and consistent with the phil osophy of all laws dealing with dam ages, causing death or injury.
 ''5. In some pamphlet 1 read that this is bad law because the bad mining companies are for it. Nonsense. No large employer, who has sense enough o-keep his business going today, will voluntarily commit industrial suicide by attempting to pass an industrial law which will work so unfairly as to drive the labor he must have away from him. am positive that this law is favored by the large corporations because they be- lieve it's operation will have beneficial effect and ultimately will bring capital and labor closer together in this State In fact that is one of the prime reasons that our company, which is very slight lv affected by the law because we are not, except for small branches, engaged in hazardous enterprise, is in favor of this amendment.
 ''I wish that all voters who are in doubt about this law might have an opportunity to read the brief submitted by MT. G. P. Nevitt, the head of our le- gal department. I am taking the lib- erty of sending this to you.

 Arizona Workmen's Compensation Law,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Many and various objections have been offered to Amendment 100, which is the proposed Workmen's Compensa- ton Law. These objections seem to be put forward mainly by certain factions of organized labor. The legal depart ment of this company has made an ex- haustive analysis of these objections and of this proposed constitutional amendment and l have, personally, studied this analysis and the law very carefully, and our joint conclusions, laid before the Board of Directors of this company, have been adopted. It is the opinion of the management that the objections are not we'll founded and that the best interests of this State, both labor and capital, will be served if this amendment carries.
 Briefly, some of these objections are as follows:
 ''That the big corporations originated this law; that it will raise taxes; that it should not have been passed until the soldiers return; that the proposed law is not compulsory upon anyone except the workmen; that there are many haz- ardous occupations which will not be in cluded; that the law will be hung up in court for years; that it places a premi- um upon the employment of single men without dependents; that the decision of the commission is not final because it permits appeals to the Superior and then to the Supreme Court; that abso- lute dependency must be proven; that the employe will be deprived of his present legal defenses.
 "I do not believe that any one of these objections is valid.
 Because of lack of space, let me ex- anime briefly but several of these objections.
 ''1. Assume the large corporations did plan and originate this law-what of it? If this is good law and is fair and square to both employer and en- ploye it is of little consequence if it was originally drafted through the power of gold or silver, by honest labor officials, by discredited labor officials, or by whom. The law must be it's own justi- fication
 "2. Taxes upon the. public should be decreased. The machinery created by this law should handle it's simplified provisions much cheaper than the courts can now, operating under exist ing provisions.
 ''3. The law is not compulsory tech nically but in practice it is compulsory upon both employer and employe be- cause if they do not accept it's operation, either side is equally penalized and in the same manner. Because there is
