As result of the recent canvass
made by the police department, 1928
names have been stricken from the
registration lists. People who have
been dead for seven years, some who
left the city four and five years ago.
and nobody knows how many fraudul-
entity registered names have all been
carried on the registration list year
after year. This is eontraEy-to the
law. to be sure, but no EFFORT has been
made to prevent it heretofore. The
present administration has taken up
the matter vigorously with the above
result. Fl
As the city is compelled to print
these names over and over again, the
cleaning up of the list win mean an
average saving OF 5000 to the city on
printing alone.

Double Provision

Accommodations.

Sixteen taste sanatoria, twenty
Ieight county hospitals, and twenty-one
municipal hospitals for tuberculosis
nave been erected and provided for
since January i. 1909, says bulletin
lof the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis,
issued today.
Within the last two years the num-
Der Of state institutions for tubercu-
[olsis has doubled. and the number of
county and municipal institutions has
Increased from about 80 to 80. The
Expenditure Of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than $S,-
100000 of state money was appropriate
led forT tuberculosis institutions in
1909, when 4s Legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910. when only
leleRen legislatures were in session.
The appropriations OF counties and
cities for tuberculosis hospitals and
sanatoria in the last two years will
aggregate fully $2.5O0,000, bringing
the total Of official appropriations for
tuberculosis hospitals up to oyer &c.
100000 In the past two years.
In spite. however. of this good
showing, the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis states that not one-tenth Of the
public provision for tuberculosis that
is needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con-
stantly without proper institutional
treatment,

A resolution passed the City Council
at its last meeting to raise the wages
of the street employees from SITS to
$500 per day beginning the first OF
January. This is in line with the
policy of the administration to raise
wages and particularly to begin the
process of raising wages with those
who are most poorly pad. The gen.
eral policy of the administration is to
raise the conditions OF labor on all
public works to the trades union
standard as rapidly as possible.

THE BALLOT AND THE HOME

Mrs. Ida Abel Allen conducts q
regular column in the interest Of equal
Suffrage in the Aberdeen lWash.)
Post. IN a recent issue, she writes:
1T is often objected that. if women
were given the ballot, they would lose
interest in their homes and neglect
their families.
Does the hunter lose interest in the
game when he gets a new gun? Does
the farmer lose interest in his crops
when he has purchased new machin-
cry with which &c cultivate and har-
vest teen: Docs the mechanic be-
come So aDsoT5ed IN te hconte,nplation
of his tools that he forgets the house
lie is to build? DOES the soldier lose
sight of his country's need in his in
terest in military tactics: Then why
should woman lose interest in her
home as soon as she is given a weapon
with which to defend it. an implement
with which TO improve it
Does the laboring man feel less IN
terested in his work as soon as he
joins the union, or because he has a
vote that may enable him to better his
industrial condition? Does the lumber
man lose interest IN his sawmilI be-
cause he has a voter Instead, his in
terest in his business may often be
measured BY the value he attaches to
his vote and the use he makes of it. !
sInstead of woman losing interest in
her home if enfrancblsed, she would
rather feel an increased interest, as
she would have increased power to
use for its betterment and greater
sense of responsibility for Its condi-
ton She could effect changes not
only from the inside but from the out
side as well; she could Improve sur
rounding conditions and decrease the
number and strength of the influences
that now do SO much to overthrow her
teaching and nullify the work she
does in the home.
