Because Studebaker builds vital

G. o. p. STATE CHAIRMAN
PROTESTS HUNTS COMlSH

II. S. Corbett, chairman of the re-
publican state central committee pro-
tests the appointment of three demo-
Gratis on the workmen's compensation
act commission. Chairman Corbett
says in writing ITO the governor:
Dear Governor Hunt:
note from the reports in various
papers in the state that you have APP
pointed as the three members of the
commission to be appointed by you
under the new workmen's compensa-
tion act, Mr.. r. B. Sims of Florence,
now superintendent of. the state
prison; Mr.. G. w. VanDyke of Miami,
a member of the board of regents of
the University of Arizona, and Mr..
Homer r. Wood of Prescott, at pres
ent member of the state fair COM
mission.
You are undoubtedly aware that
section one (1) of the workmen's COM
pensation act provides that not more
than two of the members of this COM
mission shall belong to the same poll
tical party. The registration records
show, and it is well-known fact, that
all three of the gentlemen named are
not only members of and affiliated
with the democratic party and active
in its councils, but they are at present
all holding office under democratic
administration.
This act was not a political meas
ure, as you will know. Republicans
and democrats joined in advocating
its passage, and in voting for the con-
stitutional amendment necessary to
make it effective In view of this
fact, and in view of the plain provis-
ion of the act, it seems that the people
of the state, and particularly the re-
publican voters and taxpayers, are
entitled to some explanation of your
apparent violation of and disregard
for this provision of the law.
l would appreciate reply from you
concerning the matter.
Very respectfully yours,
H. S. CORBETT, Chairman
To date Governor Hunt has not seen
fit to make answer to the protest.

SAFETY LETTERS BY BOYS
AND GIRLS WIN PRIZES

The Boys and Girls Safety club
letter writing contest of the Automo-
bile club of Arizona closed October
25th, with over four hundred letters
received that were read and classified
by committee headed by Col. James
H. McClintock.
Colonel McClintock told officials of
the Automobile club that the mass of
letters all showed high class and a
dozen different lists of prize winners
would be made if they were submitted
to that many different committees.
Colonel McClintock says that after
reading the letters it is an easy mat
ter to understand why Arizona stands
at the head of a list of the states in
educational matters, that such con-
tests serve to show people not con-
nected with the public schools that
efficient instruction is being given the
little ones all over the state.
The committee decided that Helen
j. Smith of 1884 East Moreland St.,
Phoenix should receive the first prize;
Althea NJ Yager, aged ten years, Box
224 Globe, was second choice; Darby
Poulson, 204 West Aubret St., Pres
colt, was awarded third place in the
contest; Ethel May Rogers, 1442 A
Ave-, Douglas was marked fourth and
Mary Bruschi, 422 Euclid ST., Globe,
was given fifth place.
Manager Wilbur Treadwell inform
ed the committee that the number of
prizes would be increased in the next
letter writing contest and that he
would have certificate of member
ship in the Boys and Girls Safety
club, of the Automobile club printed,
a copy of which will be mailed each
child sending in letter during the
contest just closed.
Many of the letters showed much
thought on the matter of safety for
children while on the streets and
highways of Arizona, all showed that
the teachers were interested in the
welfare of their charges.
