 THINK OF AMENDMENT |0O
 NORKMENS COMPENSATION LAW

lIdlHluS dSSSItAOuS III OPpOSAbAOA ON Amendment 100 reminded me of the violent harangues made in the Mooney defense printing circulated through out the country, and the contents oi the May 1 and August statewide and nationwide strike calls which were repudiated by. .the rank and file of or ganized labor. This impression cer. tainly made me stronger than ever for Amendment l00."-Mrs. E. H. Spain Phoenix.
 ~I believe that the public should be warned that those opposing Amend ment 100 have in the past stopped at nothing to carry their points and that they will stop at nothing to defeat the measure that now threatens to put them out of business. Misrepre- sentations of all kinds are to be ex- pected. Mrs. B. B. Sanders, Phoe- nix.
 The game of the kaiser from the beginning has been to draw his enemy into arguments and divert him from the real business of going over the top. The man who called the state wide strike on May and offended the ears of the public of Phoenix and the state on the same subject in August and the man who was fined S5000 at Globe for assaulting citizen who wanted to put up an American flag, are playing the same game in the in- stanse of Amendment 100. It would be foolish to stop to argue with them. The thing is to go over the top.+Mlrs. Lula Busby, Phoenix.
 My understanding has always been that organized labor speaks for itself, not through se,f-constituted spokes- men, and I expect to see it shaking hands with state insurance, a proven success in many states. lowered taxa tion and the better general conditions provided for by Amendment 100 on November 5th.''-Mrs. B. B. Moeu-, Phoenix
 Tt seems unnecessary to me that employers should assert that they will operate under Amendment 100 1T it is adopted on November 5th. If they should not do so, juries in per sonal injury cases would bankrupt them under the operation of the com mon law within a year. The juror would be properly prejudiced because the employer did not avail himself of state insurance; it would be evidence that he intended to dodge fair pay ment Amendment 100 is so good in all respects for the workman that 1 cannot see what honest motive there can be back of the opposition to it. 1 am inclined to attribute it to greed and ignorance. Mrs. M. C. Brown ing, Phoenix.
 Il have heard some comment as to the length of Amendment 100 and am reminded that the Bible is also of much volume, yet I have never heard of anyone attacking its merit because of it's length. katie E. Domaine.
 State insurance for the married workman will cost the employer not one cent more than insurance for an unmarried workman. The married man stays. invests, upbuilds. He helps the employer, the farmer, the taxpayer in general to bear the bur dens of the state and increase its activities This thought alone should put Amendment 100 through, for it will attract married workmen as they have never before been attracted to any state in the union. Mrs. Bessie | E. Alexander.
 It would be a good thing to have such a law. so that we could figure into our contracts the expense of such things as accidents. At present it's a gamble. and a contractor now must make allowance, if he plays safe. for things that may never happen."-Red- mond Toohey, Phoenix.
 Preparedness against misfortune is a duty. Insurance is the greatest preparedness that can be made for the protection of the home. State insur- ance is the best and strongest of all insurance. Of course I am for Amend l ment 1O0."-Mrs. Edward F. Parker.
 State insurance, paid by the em- ployer, is progress. Who in Arizona | ten years ago would have thought the | state would be offered such a thing. l Few, if any Let us take it promptly" Mrs. A. c. Utley.
 It is a good law for women. Ii | means far less distress for them and their children under conditions of misfortune. There never has been legislation proposed in Arizona that meant as much to them. Needless to say, I shall do all I can fo' the adop- | tion of Amendment 100. Mrs. T. C. | Irvine.
 Everything that reduces misunder- standing and the chances for t sEodld | be adopted. Misunderstandilss are good for cur enemies OnlY.'-Mrs- W. B. Twitchell. Phoenix
 q have known of many cases Of distress, of children raised as objects | of charity and suffering all the ills going with it; of mothers driven to dire. extremes because of the delays | and the abuses practiced under our present compensation laws. I feel that the adoption Of Amendment 100 and the stopping of all of this will be . a God-send. We should all work for it"-Mrs L. E. Hewins.
