 Winslow, Arizona, Jan 8, 1910 By the casting of 63 yeas and 20 nays, or 23 more yeas than were necessary to secure it's pas sage, the electors of Winelow made known their wishes Friday on the question of issuing bonds for new sewer system. Oppos- CTS of the project had predicted defeat for the measuie, but though its advocates were equally san- guine of victory, it was hardly expected that it would be carried by such substantial margin. The total registration showed I'll names, while the total num- Der of votes boiled was 83. This discrepancy resulted in most part from strict application of the Arizona law governing such cleo tions which requires that the name of the voter must appear on the city tax roll for the last proceeding assessment. The en- forcemsnt of this law occasioned surprise and embarrassment to a number of voters when the tax lists in the possession of the cleo .;oc oEcials sbpv,ing in most iri- stances that their wives names appeared on the tax lists, was the barrier tc their right of sui frage at this election. Most of the disappointed ones accepted the situation good naturedly, but others gave vent to their feelings by a forceful protest against a law so restrictive in its provi- sions as to deprive them of a supposed birthright.
 To enable all voters for or against the proposed bond issue to discuss the matter fully and settle all doubts existing on the manner in which payments are et., be made for the improvement, as well as consideration of the ultimats cost to taxpayers, a meeting was held in the Opera House Wednesday evening. May or Schaal after stating the pur- pose of the meeting to those as sembled, introduced MT. w. P. Bullock, the engineer employed by the city to approximate the cost of the proposed sewer sys, tenn, and superintend it's sconstruc- tion. MT. Bullock dwelt On the city's sanitary needs, described the system to be installed and answered such objections as he had heard had been made against it. The sentiments expressed by all the speakers indicated then belief in the need of a proper sys tenn, but some were unwilling t. accept the increased tax levy which would be necessary to de fray the cost of the one proposed It is believed that the meeting resulted in destroying some erro neous impressions which prevail ed among those opposed to tn
 measure and caused theirconve sion to its support.
 While the contest was wagec with considerable spirit, bot sides were credited with beinl honest ill their convictions ant now that the question has bee settled by a large majority C

as a participant in the educational

1t was pointed out by senator Kec-
zell In response to a query made by
Senator Strobe thai the bill may bring
about a reduction of 100000 in the
public school funds. Senator Keczcll
said that though he deeply regretted
that such was the case. Still 1t could
not be helped. 1t was due to the
situation In which the States finances
have been thrown by the conditions
or the past two years. The deficit
could be made up by slight local taxa

suned at 4, Senator Gunter in the
chair.
When the clause of the appropriation
bill relating TO tho University Of Vir-
ginia was reached Senator Strobe en-
dcavored to tack on a rider embodytns
his proposition that the State, when
5its finances would permit. should es-
6tablish d college for women as a co.
ordinate branch of the university. SEN
ator Parks opposed committing the
State to such a policy. 1f6the rider
were allowed to be written into the
statutes some start might be made by
those interested, and then the State
would be bound to pay for 1t.
Desiring to amend the Strobe rider,
Senator Ward proposed that it should
be the sense OF the Senate that tho
high schools and primary schools SHOULD
for ten years have a prior claim on the
funds of the State yer the proposed
State College for Women.
College for Women.
Senator Noel opposed Though duly
respecting the University OF Virginia.
he thought 1t was getting more money
now than the results Justified. he
pointed out the disproportton between
the large sum givcn that institution
by the. State and the small attendance
OF Virginia students. Three counties
furnish one-third OF the students liv-
ing In Virginia. Thirty-three Vir-
glnia counties were not represented in
1907. There Is a professor for every
five students.

"Develop primary education first and
foremost" he declared. IF there be
any change, let It be In tho direction
of Industrial training. We do not get
the results from the higher education
;that8we do from the wider. This pro-
posed institution would interfere with
the university; II would impair It's use
fulness, and in nowlsc would it help
the cause Of education or woinanhood
in this Commonwealth"
DISCRIMINATION, Says Strobe.
S%taunchly championing his measure,
SENATOR Strobe pointed 3out that though
the state annually oXpends s331,a5O for
the higher education of men, not
cent Is spent on that for women. The
normal schools declare that they can
not give this higher training,
He pointed out that there are only
five States In the Union that do not
provide for the higher education OF
women. Virginia Is OF them.
He called attention to tho fact that
there Is a decided Statewide demand
for the State college for women;that
AZ the institution We're but adopted as
a policy 1t might receive large en-
dowments.

college, and he ably upheld his project.

A considerable slash was directed
by Senator Noel at the appropriation

the promotion OF home-secKers and
land-settlers and investors in Virginia
and for advertising the resources or
the State In this and other countries.
He wanted 1t lowered from $4,000 to

the conditions that have led to the
