The Parker post., 1918-05-25


of discomfort and put an end to
strikes and labor troubles, | promise
the people of Arizona, if nominated
and elected Governor that | will sup
port proper and constructive labor
legislation and the administration of
the same, to the end that our labor
ing class of people receive proper
compensation and consideration.
A just, equitable and uniform com
pension or liability law should be
placed on our statute books. The
present makeshift is not satisfactory
to either employer or employe. |
would favor the appointment of
joint committee of employer and en-
ploye with power to jointly formulate
such a system of laws as would fair
ly and reasonably compensate the in
jured employe or family in case
of death, for submission to the legis-
lature for proper action at the earli-
est convenient time
Fourth: | will insist that all pub
lie offices OF the state and county are
administered efficiently and econom-
lcally, so that the burden of taxation
may be held down to the minimum,
and will advocate and work for such
laws that will be the means of bring
ing about the often promised and sell
dom realized economy in state gov
ernment.
Fifth: | 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: | pledge my support to the
end that the red light abatement bill,
House Bill No. 4, passed by the Taird
state legislature and referred to the
voters on referendum petitition be-
comes a law
Seventh: l will endeavor to have
our election laws amended and re-
vised in such manner that they may
be clear to all citizens, electors and
administrative officials of the state.
Eighth: | favor the ratification OF
the Constitutional Amendments by
our state Of the nation wide prohibit
tion and woman's suffrage laws.
Ninth: | am for a continuation OF
our state highway system and addi-
t1onal good roads. Will also insist
that the federal government build a
system OF good roads along the south
ern boundary of the state, the same
being in my judgment a vital military
necessity for our present and future
protection.
believe that the full authority of
the Legislative and executive branches
OF the state government should be ex-
ercised in the enactment and enforce
ment of adequate laws for the pro
lection Of life and property along the
Mexican border.
Tenth: | favor continued and ade-
quate appropriations for the main
tenance Of the public schools and in
stitutions of the state, in order to
keep them up to the highest standard
Realizing our total unpreparedness
when entering this worlds greatest of
all wars, and knowing the necessity
and Importance of specialized train
ing and advantages of same, am in
favor of additional appropriations
and revenues for our schools in order
that we may give our boys and girls
vocational, industrial and military
training of the highest order.
Eleventh: AS commissioner to the
state land department I have endeav-
0red to secure for the state the
greatest amount of revenue consistent
with good business policy in the leas-
ing and sale of the state and institu-
tlonal lands. My report to the state
land department will show the results
achieved and | assure you that I feel
great prlde IN this department Of
state, and am in favor of a continua-
tlon OF the present broad constructive
land policy
twelfth: | am for legislation that
Will deal effectively with the pro-Ger-
man and those people who in any way |
hamper or hinder our industrial. mil
1tary and financial efforts to speedily |
and effectively prosecute the war. |
There should be no temporizing or |
halfway measures. Our soldiers are |
in the trenches offering their lives for |
great and noble cause, and we
should as individuals and officials see |
that nothing is left undone and that
there is no interference in our efforts
to back them up to the limit with our
moral, financial and physical forces
and insure us a speedy and complete
