ARGUMENT
Submitted to the Electors of Arizona, November 6, 1928
The second clause sustains every person in his right to choose his own method
of healing or physician.
The third clause prevents any person or persons from compelling any healer
to be examined by any board of examiners which is not composed entirely of
members of his school of healing. This is the present practice and works well.
One school of healers can not rightfully examine members of entirely different
schools. A carpenter should not examine a plumber.
This amendment changes nothing, gives nothing, and takes nothing. Does
not let in quacks. It has been and is now the duty of the Legislature to say who
The first clause of this amendment prevents any school of healers from
gaining sufficient political power to establish itself as a monopoly and drive
out other schools of healers.
If you favor the above law vote YES; if opposed, vote NO.

-shall
practice and who shall not. New healing schools coming in must go befo
the Legislature and demonstrate their value in order to legally practice. Th~e
amendment does not even. hint at restricting this duty of the Lell;is!ature. 1S
This amendment was made necessary when the "medical trust" tried to pass
its" Basic Science" law through our last Arizona Legislature thereby attacking
the right of citizens to choose their own physicians by practically outlawing all
drugless physicians.
By "medical trust" we do not mean the conscientious medical doctor who uses
poisonous drugs moderately because he thinks he can help his patients with them
but we mean the drug, vaccine, serum and other allied manufacturing interests
who intend to get rich quickly by getting compulsory medication laws passed
to enable them to force their products on to and into all persons as is done in the
army.
This measure is wordtd and designed to appeal to the layman who is overly
iealo
us
of his personal liberty and rights. A study of the full meaning of the
text of the petition, however, will convince any thinking person that the enactment
of this into an amendment to the constitution will throw down the bars
for admission to practice in the state to all sorts of irregulars and poorly trained
members of any school of healing.
Those who practice any method of 'healing might have non-contents and
ignorant persons, unable to pass the examinations prescribed, who would withdraw
and set up their own and an independent school of healing; under this
amendment they would be their own iudges as to their fitness to practice upon
the sick of the state.

On this course of reasoning it is easily seen that the amendment is pernicious
and would defeat much of the purpose for which it is planned.
Those who have loved ones and who think the best is none too good for them
will not wish to see requirements for practice of the healing art in the state
made any lower than they are at present. The amendment would cause a great
increase of suffering and a tremendous increase in the public's financial burden
for illness.
If this petition becomes an amendment to the constitution there will be no
easy way to remove it and no way whereby laws could be passed to properly
control those who administer to the sick.

This amendment is offered in the hope that a small measure of relief may
be given war veterans of Arizona who 'lrc attempting to establish a little home
or a farm, and upon many of whom the assessment of taxes has been found to
impose an insurmountable hardship.
The vekrans' of Arizona who incurred disability in defense of our country
are entitled to the relief tlwt will accrue to them through the operation of this
Act.
In order to enjoy the provisions of this law, an ex-service man or woman
must have established residence in Arizona prior to January, 1927. An exemption
of $2,000 would be granted any veteran whose total assessment does
not exceed $5,000. If it is over that amount, no exemption would be allowed.
Many of our ex-service men and women, former residents of Arizona, have
removed to other states. Those remaining are so few in number that the amount

Arizona's sons and daughters did not hesitate to defend their country when
the call came. In view of wht these veterans lost in earnings, due to their war
service, it will take many years, under even this modest tax exemption law,
before their rehabilitation can be accomplished.
Twenty-six (26) states have enacted monetary (bonus) laws granting liberal
relief to war veterans; 25 of them have enacted legislation granting exemption
from certain classes of taxation. We know that many of our war veterans who
incurred disability in line of duty or otherwise will soon have reached the peak
of their earning capacity. The operation of this Act will grant a measure of
.relief in such cases which would be a small investment compared with the amount
of taxes involved. .

of exemption would be so small as to be hardly noticeable, this due to the fact
that many of them do not own taxable property. The operation of this A.ct
would not, therefore, place an undue burden upon the other tax-payers, but
would tend to assist veterans to become home-owners and substantial citizens
and therefore increase the capital assets of the State. '
Monetary statutes affecting ex-service men and women, in Arizona, are practi_
cally nil. New Mexico and Wyoming, with taxable conditions similar to those
in Arizona, both maintain, with excellent results, ~xemption laws more liberal
than this one proposed for Arizona. The amount exempted in Wyoming in 1924
was but a small portion of the assessed valuation of that State. Population
taxable property and other conditions in these states are very similar to thos~
in Arizona.

DECLARATION OF RIGHTS, THE SAME TO BE NUMBERED 35, AND TO READ AS FOLLOWS, TO-WIT: Section 35. No law shall be enacted in this State respecting the establish_ ment of any method of healing, or prohibiting the free exercise of the right of any person to choose any method of healing, or that will compel any healer to be examined by a board of examiners which is not entirely composed of members of his or her school of healing. AJI legislation conflicting with this amend. ment is hereby repealed. Filed July 5, 1928. --I 101 No. 100 Yes. I 591 ARGUMENT Submitted to the Electors of Arizona, November 6, 1928 The second clause sustains every person in his right to choose his own method of healing or physician. The third clause prevents any person or persons from compelling any healer to be examined by any board of examiners which is not composed entirely of members of his school of healing. This is the present practice and works well. One school of healers can not rightfully examine members of entirely different schools. A carpenter should not examine a plumber. This amendment changes nothing, gives nothing, and takes nothing. Does not let in quacks. It has been and is now the duty of the Legislature to say who The first clause of this amendment prevents any school of healers from gaining sufficient political power to establish itself as a monopoly and drive out other schools of healers. If you favor the above law vote YES; if opposed, vote NO. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION OF THE PEOPLE. "MEDICAL LIBERTY AMENDMENT~' THAT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA BE AND IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING THERETO ANOTHER SECTION TO ARTICLE II, DECLARATION OF RIGHTS, THE SAME TO BE NUMBERED 35, PROVIDING THAT NO LAW SHALL BE ENACTED IN THE STATE RESPECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY METHOD OF HEALING, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF ANY PERSON TO CHOOSE ANY METHOD OF HEALING, OR THAT WILL COMPEL ANY HEALER TO BE EXAMINED BY A BOARD OF EXAMINERS WHICH IS NOT ENTIRELY COMPOSED OF MEMBERS OF HIS OR HER SCHOOL OF HEALING. (Affirmative) \ Submitted by the Arizona Committee of the American Medical Liberty LeagiIe. In favor of the Amendment designated on the Official ballot as follows: ----.------_._-- I I I By John A. Messinger. I 592 6 Pamphlet Coritaining Amendments and Measures to be (Signed) ARIZONA COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL LIBERTY LEAGUE. -shall practice and who shall not. New healing schools coming in must go befo the Legislature and demonstrate their value in order to legally practice. Th~e amendment does not even. hint at restricting this duty of the Lell;is!ature. 1S This amendment was made necessary when the "medical trust" tried to pass its" Basic Science" law through our last Arizona Legislature thereby attacking the right of citizens to choose their own physicians by practically outlawing all drugless physicians. By "medical trust" we do not mean the conscientious medical doctor who uses poisonous drugs moderately because he thinks he can help his patients with them but we mean the drug, vaccine, serum and other allied manufacturing interests who intend to get rich quickly by getting compulsory medication laws passed to enable them to force their products on to and into all persons as is done in the army. This measure is wordtd and designed to appeal to the layman who is overly iealo us of his personal liberty and rights. A study of the full meaning of the text of the petition, however, will convince any thinking person that the enactment of this into an amendment to the constitution will throw down the bars for admission to practice in the state to all sorts of irregulars and poorly trained members of any school of healing. Those who practice any method of 'healing might have non-contents and ignorant persons, unable to pass the examinations prescribed, who would withdraw and set up their own and an independent school of healing; under this amendment they would be their own iudges as to their fitness to practice upon the sick of the state. ;j'i ); , I id': = 598 (Negative) ARGpMENT iii\!'

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION OF THE PEOPLE "MEDICAL LIBERTY AMENDMENT" Submitted by the Arizona State Medical Association, opposing the Amendment designated on the official ballot as follows: I I I Every person interested in the welfare of our state should work against and vote against this proposed amendment. I 8 Pamphlet Containing Amendments and Measures to be --- ARIZONA STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, By A. C. CARLSON, President. On this course of reasoning it is easily seen that the amendment is pernicious and would defeat much of the purpose for which it is planned. Those who have loved ones and who think the best is none too good for them will not wish to see requirements for practice of the healing art in the state made any lower than they are at present. The amendment would cause a great increase of suffering and a tremendous increase in the public's financial burden for illness. If this petition becomes an amendment to the constitution there will be no easy way to remove it and no way whereby laws could be passed to properly control those who administer to the sick. .1. ii i,1 i I"~; ! i·;l i' -I JAMES H.

AN ACT (SENATE BILL NO. 49) CHAPTER 41. (On Official Ballot Nos. 102 and 103) 10 Pamphlet Containing Amendments and Measures to be Section 1. There is hereby proposed an amendment to Section 2, Article IX of the Constitution of the State of Arizona, as amended by Chapter 69 of the Laws of 1915, approved by the people, to read as follows: Sec. 2. That there shall be exempt from taxation all Federal, State county and municipal property. Property of educational, charitable and religious association or institutions not used or held for profit may be exempt from taxation by law. Public debts, as evidenced by the bonds of Arizona, its counties, municipalities, or other subdivisions, shall also be exempt from taxation. There shall be further exempt from taxation the property of widows, honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, United States Marines, members of revenue marine service, and army nurses, residents of this State, not exceeding the amount of two thousand dollars, where the total assessment of such widow and such other persons named herein does not exceed five thousand dollars; provided, that no such exemption shall be made for such person other than widows unless they shall have served at least sixty days in the military or naval service of the United States during time of War, and shall have been residents of this State prior to January 1, 1927. All property in the State not exempt under the laws of the United States or under this constitution, or exempt by law under the provisions of this section shall be subject to taxation to be ascertained a.s provided by law.

When said proposed amendment shall be approved by a majority of each House of the Legislature and entered on the respective journals thereof, together with the ayes and nays thereon, the Secretary of State shall submit such proposed amendment to the vote of the people at the next general electivn. Approved March 9, 1927. · -,..- ~ ...... ,.-j ,;: Submitted to the Electors of Arizona, November 6, 1928 ARGUMENT (Affirmative) Submitted by The American Legion, Department of Arizona. In favor of the Amendment designated on the officisJ ballot as follows: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION, PROPOSED BY THE LEGISLATURE. "TAX EXEMPTION FOR WIDOWS, HONORABLY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND ARMY NURSES." AN ACT PROPOSING TO AMEND SECTION 2, ARTI,CLE IX OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 69 OF THE LAWS OF 1915 APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE, RELATING TO PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM TAXATION, AND PROVIDING FOR THE SUBMISSION OF SAID PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ELECTORS OF THE STATE AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION." If you favor the above law vote YES; if opposed, vote NO. 102 Yes. 103 No. This amendment is offered in the hope that a small measure of relief may be given war veterans of Arizona who 'lrc attempting to establish a little home or a farm, and upon many of whom the assessment of taxes has been found to impose an insurmountable hardship. The vekrans' of Arizona who incurred disability in defense of our country are entitled to the relief tlwt will accrue to them through the operation of this Act. In order to enjoy the provisions of this law, an ex-service man or woman must have established residence in Arizona prior to January, 1927. An exemption of $2,000 would be granted any veteran whose total assessment does not exceed $5,000. If it is over that amount, no exemption would be allowed. Many of our ex-service men and women, former residents of Arizona, have removed to other states. Those remaining are so few in number that the amount 51 I I I I Arizona's sons and daughters did not hesitate to defend their country when the call came. In view of wht these veterans lost in earnings, due to their war service, it will take many years, under even this modest tax exemption law, before their rehabilitation can be accomplished. Twenty-six (26) states have enacted monetary (bonus) laws granting liberal relief to war veterans; 25 of them have enacted legislation granting exemption from certain classes of taxation. We know that many of our war veterans who incurred disability in line of duty or otherwise will soon have reached the peak of their earning capacity. The operation of this Act will grant a measure of .relief in such cases which would be a small investment compared with the amount of taxes involved. . I - ,598 ... -'._F ,;:: _~ 12 Pamphlet Containing Amendments and Measures to be of exemption would be so small as to be hardly noticeable, this due to the fact that many of them do not own taxable property. The operation of this A.ct would not, therefore, place an undue burden upon the other tax-payers, but would tend to assist veterans to become home-owners and substantial citizens and therefore increase the capital assets of the State. ' Monetary statutes affecting ex-service men and women, in Arizona, are practi_ cally nil. New Mexico and Wyoming, with taxable conditions similar to those in Arizona, both maintain, with excellent results, ~xemption laws more liberal than this one proposed for Arizona. The amount exempted in Wyoming in 1924 was but a small portion of the assessed valuation of that State. Population taxable property and other conditions in these states are very similar to thos~ in Arizona. o I = :z6j3i IB'7Z-0 301 No. 300 Yes. to be held If you favor the above law, vote YES; if opposed, vote NO.
