Tomorrow's Election

No congressional elections in recent years were so fuu of interest from both partisan and party policy points of view which will take place tomorrow They will determine to very great extent the terms peace and the the country will take after the war. If the republicans should control the house, that must be taken to that that party which is undoubtedly large normal majority in the country decided two years hence the full control of tho nation which it laid down six years ago.
 We do not think any republican seriously expects that a result of the elections tomorrow the repub Ican party control of the senate Though there thirtytwQ expiring terms, eighteen being those of democrats and fourteen republican, beside eight fill un-expired terms the latter all democratic vacancies but one, they for the most part in states hopelessly democratic that comparatively few changes of complexion be expected. The rubcans chances to improve their position lie in the states of Colorado Delaware Idaho. Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire and Missouri. It may be hoped that the republicans will carry five of rhese states and that would give them bare ority the senate provided they hold their own in an of the eleven of Iowa.

'solicits' anything of value in consider ation of his vote.
 Thus it will be seen that mere at tempt to control the will of the voter or to debauch his conscience in pun ishable whether the attempt is accom- pIished or not The mere promise" of the money or other thing of value, or the mere "offer" to give money or other thing of value for the purpose of influencing the will or act of the voter is a completed offense, and this is true whether the promise or offer" to give the money or other thing of.value is accepted or not. And the offense is completed when any of these things are done whether the person to whom the promise or offer is made actually votes or not, in other words it is not necessary under the act that person must actually vote in order that the offense may be complete, nor is it nec- essary that the promise or offer must be made to a person who is a legal voter, nor is it necessary that the per son to whom the promise or offer is made accepts the same.
 "The law is also intended to punish the person who either "solicits," "ac- cepts," or receives any money or other thing of value in consideration of his vote. And it is not necessary that he should retain the money or other thing of value in order that the offense should be complete, the mere accepting" or soliciting or ''receiv- ing'' of the, money constitutes the of- fenSe.

Misleading Advertisements

In the name of the Arizona State Tax Commission, most misleading advertisement against the Work mems Compensation act printed yesterday. A somewhat similar presented by the tempo rary leaders of the American Federation of Labor Nothing can be foolish and illogical than the statement that the act would increase insurance rates four fold The purpose of this advertisement as well the other is make taxpayers and property believe that the act would somehow increase their taxes
 As matter of fact, the law provides the manner in which the insurance fund is be created It is tt be raised by assessment only upon employers who elect to under it's provisions. Neither the in- rates the any person not an ern- poyer be affected by the act
 The Federation of Labor advertisement says that the expense would be in excess of $1OOOOO year. The act itself creates commission the tcta the salaries of which are $14400 year Other expenses may liberal ly be said to raise the total expense s2OOOO year much less than the tax payers pay for litigation instigated by ambulance chasers
 The voters should not be misled by labor agitators and politicians who dependent upon them

The Act Stands On It's Merits

We believe that the supporters of the Workmens Compensation act have made tactical mistake in the prominence of the campaign they have pursued We not meaning say that they have been toe frank But the large employing corporations have been brought too conspcuously into the foreground and there has been too apparent expenditure of money n propaganda or educational work.
 These things alone have been calculated to make many people suspicious. A very large number of us do not think broadly and some of us have heard so much about labor disputes and in the past years hatred has been drummed into us by politicians and demagogues that are apt to have come to think that what is meat for the employer must be poison for the empoye. To many, it is inconceivable that the corporations and their workmen could have common interest in anything
 When this compensation law was proposed The Republican began exhaustive inquiry concerning t It did not to the employers nor yet to recog- nzed labor agators Their are net and can not be in common. The latter prey and fatten alike upon employer and employe. We first secured the views Of honest and intelligent aborng men such as W. p. Mahoney of Mohave county for years miner Mir Mahoney stated that the proposed was the best n the country It did not give to laboring men all they asked but it gave them than any other similar act that had been proposed. Among those who enoorsed the act was federal mediator one of the foremost of the engaged in adjusting industrial differences throughout the country. A union man himself of long association. his sympathies are with tho true aims of organized labor. He said that the proposed compensation the best that had ever been offered in this country that liberal than any other in force.
 We believed that the views of these two men should be given infinitely weight than the so- pht and incorporate criticism of the labor agitators whose interest in perpetuating strife great that of the employers in endeavorng secure better relation with their employees.
 We firmly believe that the measure is a good one; that it will be beneficial to employer employe and to those who are neither. We believe it will benefit every ctEen whose prosperity is dependent upon good order and tho harmonious relations of all citizens It will benefit the farmer. the merchant. the small home owner. every one.

PENALTY
 FOR TRYING TO
 bEELECTORS

J. Ii. LangstOn, assistant United states attorney yesterday issued the following concerning punishment for violation of laws at the election next Tuesday:
 Special attention should be called at this time to a recent enactment of congress which was approved by the president on October 16. Although your paper has quoted the text of law, yet in view If the fact that the law IS of such recent enactment, of such wide scope, and in view of the further fact that already there has been reported to the department of justice actual contemplations of viola tons of the law by the use of corrupt l offers and promises of payments to in fluence voters at the coming election on November ), I deem it essential | that the act be given the widest pub l1clty possible, and that it's provisions given thorough explanation.
 First, let me say that it is hoped by the department of justice and the bureau of investigation that the people will promptly report any actual or in tended violations to the proper officers. The law in full is as follows:
 That who ever shall promise, offer or give, or cause to be prom l iSed, offered or given, any money
 or other thing of value, or shall
 make or tender any contract, un-
 dertaking, obligation, gratuity or
 security for the payment of money
 or for the delivery or conveyance
 of anything of value to any person
 either to vote or withhold his vote
 or to vote for or against any can
 didate, or whoever solicitS, accepts
 or receives any money or other
 thing of value in consideration of
 his vote for or against any candi-
 date for senator or representative
 or delegate in congress at any pri
 mary or general or special election,
 shall be fined not more than S1 900. |, or imprisoned not more than one
 year, or both.
 The law has two purposes. first the prevention of the corrupt contro of the will of the voter and the de bauching of his conscience, and, sec ond, the prevention of the illegal cleo ton of members of congress and thu thwarting the will of the people.
 The law is intended to punish who ever promises, offers or gives o whoever causes another to promise offer or give any money or 'othe thing of value or whoever shall 'mak any contract, undertakings 'obliga tion.' 'gratuity' or security for tn payment of money or for the delivery or conveyance of anything of value to any person to either vote or with hold his vote or to vote for or agains any candidate
 And it is intended also to punish tn person who receives or accepts c

Because Shan OHchr, Patrick Jo-
scph Fitzgerald Lawrence NJ. O'Neill
and Paul Francis Hayes claimed that
they were citizens Of the Irish Repub-
lis and refused to register for the draft
on Wednesday as British subjects, they
were arraigned before United States
commissioner Hitchcock yesterday for
violations of the selcctive service reg
ulations. They were released on $1,000
bail each for hearing next Monday.
The young Irishmen, according to
Robert Murray, of Local Board No.
Ito, 224 West Thirty fourth Street, ap-
pcared before him on Wednesday and
made statements that they were anX-
ious to register, but that they insist
ed on being enrolled as citizens of the
Irish Republic. When informed that
the United States had not recognized
the Irish Republic and, therefore, could
not register them as citizens of Ireland
they refused to sign cards.
The men refused to register even
when Informed by Mr. Murray that
they might enroll as men without q
country.
