A REGLSTRATLONL1R

1t is not probable that the Kansas
Legislature will pay much attention to
a suggestion from the INDEX as to the
laws it should enact, but we suggest
one enactment, and that is a regis
tration law.
Every qualified voter should be re-
quired 10 register at least thirty days
before any general or special election.
In the new counties, especially, this
law is greatly needed. In Barber coun-
ty an honest vote cannot be obtained,
unless we have registration before cleo
ton. Every one yet remembers that
the charge was freely made after the
recent election that Kiowa cast at
least one hundred more votes than that
precinct was entitled to; that men
from the Indian Territory not entitled
to vote were permitted to put in their
ballots at Kiowa. 1t is also said that
illegal votes were cast at Medicine
Lodge, but we are inclined to doubt
this
In Finney and Hamilton counties
hundreds of illegal votes are said to
have been cast; and it is openly charg-
ell that ballot boxes were stuffed i'm tie
most open manner, in those and other
western counties, where important
questions were to be settled. All of
that trouble would have been avoided
had there been a good registration law
in force.
There are so many men coming and
going in this western country-here to-
day and in some other county to-mor-
row-that it is almost impossible to
keep track of them. Registration
books, properly kept, open to inspet-
tion for thirty days before election;
would give every one the opportunity
Of seeing who expected to vote.
The registration in each township
could be conducted by the township
trustee at comparatively small ex.
pense; and while engaged in regieter-
ing voters. the trustee would have the
opportunity OF famlliariziny himself
with the names in his township.
The registration list would be a most
valuable aid in the collection of ths
pom taxes. also.
BY all msans, We say, pass a regis
tration law.
