Favor Centralized Registration

A plan whereby system Of central
lied registration may be carried on
throughout the state, and at the same
time comply with all provisions Of the
law regarding registrations, has been
worked out by the state election
board the details Of which were given
out last week.
Under the plan proposed by the
board, and which it is believed will
meet with general satisfaction among
election officers, as we'll as voters,
registration books of the different pre-
cincts in every city where registra'
ton will be conducted shall be as.
sembled at one convenient place, and
at certain hours during the day, which
will meet the convenience Of election
officers, the inspectors will be on
hand to register voters in their re-
spective precincts.
The main obstacle in the way OF a
general centralized registration sys.
TEN, as pointed out In a recent opinion
by Attorney General West to the cleo
ton board, was that no one but the
election precinct inspector could reg
lister a voter. The authority vested
in the inspector the attorney general
held, could not be delegated to an.
other party.
At the time this opinion was given
by the attorney general the plan had
been proposed that all registration
books be assembled at one point, and
one set of election officers placed in
charge Of the central registration sta
ton. The new plan just worked out
by the board meets the demand for
central registration point, and at the
same time provides for strict con-
formiy with the registration laws.

Want Rent For State Capitol.

The city school board has decided
to charge rent for the further use Of
the Irving school house as a state cap
itol, claiming the city has fully met
its obligations as to free rent and
other donations to the capital.
Governor Cruce expressed disap-
proval of the demand which has been
made by the city board of education.
81 would be inclined to move my
Office to Ardmore rather than to leave
this building and take offices down
town." said Governor Cruce when
asked what he would do in case he and
other state officials should be. asked
to vacate the school building. while

TONS" continued the governor, "it has
been very slow about doing so. If the
citizens who signed the first capital
contract had kept their agreement we
would have been housed in a state
house Of our own by this time. don't
feel justified in paying rent on this
building when the state has expended
about $4,000 in repairs upon 1t.
Paid For Repairs.
I'VE expended about $4,000 in 1914
liz getting the building in shape to
move into and then about $4,000 more
for vaults. All of these things are
permanent improvements to the school
building and belong to the city. TAX
ing these things into consideration
believe we have paid good rental for
the building and still have more free
! rental coming to U.S."
The city board OF education adopt
ed resolution to serve notice on the
state that it must pay rent after July
in the Irving school building. The
board claims that repairs amounting
to about $4,000 are needed and that
it should have some rental from the
state to meet these expenditures.
1t is not likely that the board Of
public affairs will meet the demand
for rentals on the Irving schoo
building, if presented. Chairman
Frame of the board stated that nj
such demand has yet been made, bu
IL 1t is there are no funds in the
state treasury for paying rental on the
school property.

New Interurban Line Planned.

Complete plans for a network OF
electric interurban railway lines in
Oklahoma have been announced by
C. B. Hale and ]. w. Upton. The

Present plans are to start with a
capital of $15,OOO,OO0 The proposed
system would connect Oklahoma City,
Sapulpa, Bartlesville, Tulsa, Musko-

proposed, one is to run from indie
pendence, Kan, south through Mus.
kogee to Denison and the other from
Oklahoma City through Chickasha
and Lawton to Wichita Falls, Tex.
The first construction intended is
from Tulsa east through Coweta,
Broken Arrow and Wagner to Mus.

Would Reduce Repairs Cost

A law which would prohibit manu-
facturers and dealers in machinery
from charging exorbltant prices for
pieces needed for repair is recon-
rhended by the Oklahoma corporation
commission in a report that is being
prepared for submission to Governor
Cruce. The idea originated with
Commissioner George Henshaw who
believes that all of the pieces that
go to make up machine should not
be sold separately for a price that
would aggregate more than the total
price of the machine brought alto.
gether.
The report states that small pieces
OF machinery are sold for from 10
to 40 times their cost Of manufacture.
The commission would ask the legis.
lature to give It Jurisdiction to com.
pei foreign and domestic corporations
to file with the commission the selling
prices Of each part of any machine
sold in the state. These prices should
be uniform throughout the state, al
lowing for difference OF transporta.
tionc, cost of distribution, overhead
charges and competitive conditions.
The commission in its report also
recommends the passage of a law
giving it jurisdiction to revoke the
license Of any foreign or domestic
concern which sells machinery that
is fraudulent or does not come up to
the guarantee and to annul sale con-
tracts where made under fraudulent
representations.

The Elections and Education.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Women are running for political Of
| flee; in New York, Katherine B. Davis
appears as a candidate for delegate-at-
; large: in the seventeenth Senate dis
trict the voters will have an opportunity
| to select Frances A. Kellor; and in the
! twenty-fourth district Mrs. Charles H.
Israels is a candidate.
These women, if selected. will assist
in the framing of the new constitution
of the Empire State.
The fondest horror of the anti-suf-
frage population has become a thing
of fact instead of fancy.
In the face Of calumny, defeat and
Misrepresentation, suffrage is coming to
pass. Slowly. surely, drop by drop the
miracle has been wrought. The very
State which a hare half century ago
condemned the woman's clubs, has a
woman rs commissioner of corrections
"a woman to teach men how to teach
men to behave. and three women are
candidates as State delegates to the
constitutional convention,
And how have they done it? By in
forming the public" Surely the pro-
cess of education which has been the
woman" is thing to be marveled at
and noted by the whole world.
The most impossible, improbable, a
flight in the face of nature" is being
accomplished through EDUCATION az
the people. The power of the press
ami of the printed and spoken word
has been grasped ana used TO advant-
age by the women Of America, in their
effort.
The display of such intelligence in the
matter of choice of methods should in
deed be Recommendation for the
cause.
The intelligent use of the surest meth
cd of gaining a point has brought and
is bringing success. People of other
nations have appreciated this power of
education before, but il has been ior
no intelligent or civilizing purpose.
GERMANY used it to make the army
which is today terrorizing the world.
She taught militarism. and it is succeed
ing, but to no good end. American
women have used the educating pro-
cess in a legitimate civilizng movement,
and are succeeding to an end which
stands for cultivation and preserva-
ton Of the best that there is in a ma
