VOTERS Will APPROVE
BILL OF Mr.. WRIGHT
Provides for Reform in Reg
iStFatiOn

Atlanta, July 5.-A bill providing
for a permanent qua ification list Of
voters in Georgia has been introduced
in the house by Representative Wright
of Floyd, and is understood to have tho
sanction of Governor Slaton and the
administration.
Around this measure will in all
probability rally all the members Of
the assembly who are interested in
establishing in the state some reform
in the registration laws which will DO
away with hardships worked on voters,
and at the same time carefully pre-
serve the safeguards now thrown
around the ballot box.
The measure introduced by Mr..
Wright will do both these things.
1t contemplates that when a voter
once qualities formally, his qualifica-
ton becomes permanent SO long as h.
himself actually conforms to the
qualifications. AS long as he is quail
flied in fact, he doesn't have to 80
through the Formally of qualifying
anew each year.
1t provides further that the tax
collector shall register the voter each
year when the voter pays his taxes,
SO that for men who have qualified
the payment of taxes will register
them automatically
The bill leaves room, however, for
the work of the board of registrars,
and gives ample opportunity for the
annual purging Of the lists. 1t does
not affect at all the qualifications
which a man must have to become
a voter.

WANT BILL AMENDED
TO HELP PERTH AMBOY

Because the Board of Freeholders
believe that the cities Of the county
that pay large part Of the county
tax, should get the benefit of part
Of the county's expenditure on roads,
a committee from the board jour-
neyed to Trenton Monday night to
suggest an amendment to Senate
bill 101, introduced by Senator Edge
and passed by the Senate, which pro-
vides that the county shall have su-
pervision of the roads in municipali-
ties 1900 and less in population.
The Freeholders want the bill
amended SO that 1t will include New
Brunswick and Perth Amboy, and to
include cities 10000 and under in
population. The bill, which is in
committee In the lower branch OF
the legislature, did not come up, but
the Freeholders were assured by AS
semblyman Kirkpatrick that he
would offer their proposed change TO
the bill when it comes before the
house.
The .Freeholders believe that the
cities of Middlesex county should be
allowed part of the benefit of the
expenditure on roads made by the
county. Following is the commit
tee that went to Trenton: Freehold

ASSEMBLY HITS
THE JURY BILL
Refuse to Pass Davis Meas
urs Which Went Through
tho Senate Yesterday.
STAND FOR REFERENDUM
Introduce and Pass an
Amendment Serious Mud
die on Jury Reform Law
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, March Outstanding pat
on its demand for a jury reform law
with referendum, the assembly to-
day refused to pass the Davis jury
reform bill which went through the
senate yesterday afternoon.
When the bill came up in the as
sembly today Mr.. Martin, of Hudson,
proposed straight referendum
amendment providing that the law
should not apply except in counties
adopting it. This amendment did
not include the Objectionable feature
of the Martin referendum amend
ment last week requiring that the
majority in favor must be thirty per-
cent. of the vote cast at the previous
election. After a fight the referen-
dunn amendment was adopted by the
vote 27 to "a. The amended bill was
then passed by the vote of AZ to 13.
This places jury reform in a Sc
rious muddle. The senate standing
for straight law without a referen-
dunn to vote of the people and the
assembly insisting upon referen-
dunn, 1t Is admitted that 1t will take
some skillful plotting on the part
of Acting Governor Fielder and the
other Progressive Democratic lead
| ers to get law through this session.
The Republican members of the
legislature today issued a statement
favoring true jury reform and de-
| nouncing the pending Democratic
| bill as ridiculous apologies.

unconstitutional by the courts.
