 County Medical Society endorses Amendment 100, Workmens CompeI,- sation Law.r-Harry Reese, N b., Secretary.
 Amendment 100 is very necessary legislation for the protection O. em- ployers and employees in Arizona, and in which the families of both have the most at stake. It will take a bis
 burden from the backs of the taxpay- CTS through great reduction in court costs, will help the small employer greatly by reducing his cost of insur- anoe, will cut deep into the agitator and put the shyster lawyer. who has lived upon the misfortune of others, out of business. Therefore am heartily for it and urging everybody else to be."-Charles P. Reiniger. ReinigerI-reeman Mines. Tucson.
 'I am heart and soul in favor of the proposed Workmen's COmpensa- ton Law, Amendment 1OO."-Rev. J. GheldOf. Ajc
 Under the law now in force, an injured workman receives ONE HALF PAY after the fourteenth day he is off and not one cent before that time; under the proposed law he will re- ceive TWO THIRDS PAY after the seventh day he is off through injury. Many a man is laid up through acci- dent more than seven days and less than fourteen days; at the present time he gets nothing. where under the new law he would be paid two thirds wages fer several days. I have heard it said that the companies will pay less attention to their safety de- partments if the new law is adopted and that there will be many more ac- cidents. The employers are to be assessed enough to pay for all the compensation for injuries and deaths md it will be to their advantage toI keep the accidents down then as well IS now for the more accidents and the mere compensation the more they will be assessed from year to year. - Tom COwperthwaite.

 "One of my closest friends probably had more to do with framing the Cali fornia worlSmen's compensation law than any other one man and was named by then Governor Hiram John son of California a member of the first state compensation board. For that reason l became particularly familiar with that act. an act which has stood the test of time and has proven more than satisfactory to workers and employers alike. A close study of the compensation law as pro- posed in Amendment 100 leads me to believe it far superior even, to the California act of like import and shall support this measure, which is decidedly more liberal to the work lngman than the existing one. l be- lieve it to be scientifically construct ed and thoroughly practical and a measure which insures to sufferers from accidents in hazardous and ordin- ary employment just and complete without the necessity of resOrting to the courts to secure their rights from employers. HI. w. Hall, Phoenix.
 T believe Amendment 100 a good thing for both employe and employer I have worked nearly all my life for corporations and know what condi- tions are. I now have several people working in my own shop and I want state insurance for their protection and my own as we'll as for the best interests of the general public "-J. F. Shaw's Vulcanizing Works, Doug las.
 One of the most prolific sources of friction at the present time be- tween the large employers and em- ployes is the working out of the method of obtaining -mpensation for injuries now in effect It has often involved endless litigation, long de- lays and good deal of antagOnism. The new bill. with its state insurance, it's promise of speedy and automatic settlement. should eliminate that sround of bitterness and alto 1gether is better than the present compensation laws Dean William Scarlett.
