Rebuttal to Thompson on Workmen's Compensation in Arkansas
Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin responds to Rep. Emory A. Thompson's rebuttal of the editorial on House Bill No. 136. The piece argues the people voted on Workmen's Compensation, notes it was enacted by initiative and referendum, and criticizes the notion that legislators or editors know better than the public. It likens the system to life insurance and defends the people's mandate against continued legislative override.
