Under the New Registration
Law 1t Is Urged That Use
of Machines Would Re-
duce the Expenses.
VOTING PRECINCTS
COULD BE REDUCED
Not Long Ago the Commits
sioners Refused to Pur-
chase Machines Because of
Expense to the County.

County commissioners will be urged
by representatives of voting machine
houses to recommend an appropriation
for the purchase of machines to be u.s.
ed in this county at the next general
election. On Saturday Mr.. Davis of
Shelbyville was before the board and
represented that in the purchase Of
machines the election expenses in this
county could be reduced to a mini
mum.
In view of the enforced registration
of votes under the new registration
law, Mr.. Davis said that election ex-
penses under the Australian ballot sys-
tenn in this and other counties in the
state would be increased greatly. He
estimated that. it would be anywhere
from about $1,000 to $1,000, each
year. the amount depending on the at
titude of the voters. He declared that
in using voting machines the number
of voting precincts would be reduced
and thus the registration expense
would be lessened, but only by the
use of voting machines could the
number of precincts be lessened.
Was Turned Down.
Some few years ago the commits
sioners had the matter before them
and turned the proposition down,
principally because the board did not
care to- increase the expenses of the
county or add to It's Indebtedness by
the purchase of machines. Commercial
organizations reported their investi-
cations of the voting machine project
to the commissioners. -
AS Mr.. Davis proposal was sprung
unexpectedly yesterday, the commits
sioners had no time to form an opin-
ion as to the advisability of purchas-
ing machines this year, or rather rec
ommending an appropriation for their
purchase.
There are sixty-five voting precincts
in the county and by the new registra-
ton law, registration boards must
serve In each township, either one,
two or three days at the May, Sep
tember and October sessions. If the
board is in session but one day dur
ing each of the three registration peri
DDS. the total cost per precinct is es-
timated at $50; if two days during
each registration period 1920, and if
three days, which is the maximum,
then $3.50 per precinct.
II the number of precincts are re-
duced, then the expenses of the law
will be lessened in proportion to the
number of precincts which are elimi-
mated.
The commissioners asked the rep
resentatives whether or not the regis
tration law was not unpopular in the
state, as it apparently is here, be-
cause of it's enormous expense The
commissioners and other county off,
cials anticipate the repeal of the law
at the 1913 session of the legislature.
In case this Is done, the argument has
been made to the board by disinterest-
ed parties that it would be folly to
purchase machines and force the coun-
ty into debt by doing SO. |

|EARLHAM VISITED
BY THE STUDENTS
Those Attending Friends
Summer School Highly
Pleased with College.

AS there was nothing arranged on
the program for Saturday afternoon
at the Friends Summer school. a
trip to points of special interest in the
city. The first suggestion which
came to them was pilgrimage to
Earlham College. the chief pride of the
Quakers in this part of the state.
About thirty-five were enlisted to go
on the trip. The school made quite an
impression on the visitors. all of
whom were delighted with the col.
lege's location and equipment. The
guests from the east commented es-
pecially favorably on the museum and
library. The fasteners were unani.
nous in their belief that these fea-
lures of Earlham would compare well
with those of any of the eastern de.
nominational schools. After the inspec.
ton of the college, they returned al
once to the North A Street meeting
housss in order to be in time for the
program Saturday evening.
The principal feature of the evening
meeting of the Friends Summer
School yerterday was the lecture by
Charles Swain Thomas. A crowd OF
about fifty perso rs assembled in the
North A Street church and in spite OF
the great heat, all found the address
unusually interesting. Mr.. Thomas
had chosen for his topi, The Message
of Literature and Life" He rendered
thorough discussion OF the subject
and presented several original ideas
on the matter During the course o1
his talk. he had occasion to site nu.
merous passages from the works OF
Browning. Matthey Arnold and Low.
ell to illustrate his points. Mr.. Thorn
as dealt with the subject in an entire
ly unusual manner. His discussion was
divided into five chief subdivisions ali
of which expressed the advancement
or deepening of some particular sense
of appreciation The names that he ar
bitrarily selected for his main sub
man nature; (3). the deepening of the
appreciation of external nature; (2)
the deepening Of appreciation of hu
man nature: (3). the deepining of the
sense of patriotism; "a, deepening Of
tn appreciation of the other arts; l5)
deepening OF the appreciation of the
moral, spiritual and religious life
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Thomas
lecture. the school adjourned until
this morning.

sulting Women.

Charged with insulting a woman on
a public highway. e. w. Evans was
arrested last night by Patrolman Lit
tie at Seventh and Main streets. The
woman's name is not disclosed. 1t
is alleged that Evans was standing in
front of the s. H. Knox and company
store when she passed and he made
several insulting remarks to her. He
was arrested shortly afterward.
Police Supt. Gormon is making an
effort to break up this practice. He
says young men stand in front OF
cigar stores and saloons and make in
sulting remarks to women who pass
by but it is almost impossible to Sc
cure a conviction because the women
refuse to file affidavits.
