KINKS FOUND in
PLAN FOR SMALL
SCHOOL BOARD
Court Will Be Asked to Rule
Whether It's Special
Legislation
LAWSON THINKS WOMEN
BARRED FROM VOTING
Can't Participate in Referendum
Because They're Not Con
stitutionap Electors

There are several points in connec-
ton with the submission Of the act re-
ducing the school board to seven
members passed by the legislature In
1913, with referendum clause at
tached, that ought to be definitely set
tied before the act Is allowed to 20
before the people for ratification In
November, according to Assistant
Corporation Counsel Edmund Atkin-
son. Thus far no attempt has been
made to iron out the possible kinks"
In the measure.
In the first place the act is a spe-
cial one, made TO apply to city Of
200,0OO population or over, which
means that Detroit alone Is affected.
The supreme court held that the law
creating the court Of domestic rela-
lions was invalid because II was spe-
cia) legislation, applying only to
Wayne county. Therefore. the cor
poration counsel asks: Is the school
board act valid? This question should
be decided before the measure Is sub
mitted, and the election commission
may refuse to submit II 30 as to force
mandamus proceedings, which would
at least allow decision by the lower
court, before the date of the fall cleo
ton.
Although the act provides that its
ratification shall be passed on by
those qualified to vote In school board
elections, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Atkinson raises this question: Can
the legislature pass law TO be ap.
proved by other than constitutional
electors? The constitution gives to
the legislature almost supreme con-
troll Of school matters, and does not
enumerate what school officers shall
be provided. School officers are, there
fore, creatures Of the legislature and
not Of the constitution. II Is entirely
proper for the legislature to extend to
women the privilege Of voting in cleo
tions for school officers, but whether
they can vote In the referendum on
this act Is another matter
The legislature passed the seven
member school board act to become
law when approved by majority of
those having qualifications to vote for
school inspectors In Detroit.
Act No. LAG, passed In 1918, pro-
vides that voters In school elections
entail relation to child. Previous to
women who, IL males, would be quail
fed to vote. enjoyed the privilege of
voting on school matters in Detroit.
Apparently then, many women and
males. also. who voted in the last
school election will be deprived of a
vote on the school board act by the
latest requirement, and also deprived
of votes In the election of inspectors.
These questions ought to be decid.
ed before the act is voted on" said
Assistant Corporation Counsel Akin
son. Should the act become law and
then be knocked out by the higher
court, our school system would suffer
as a result"
Corporation Counsel Richard I. Law
son firmly believes that women can
not lawfully vote on the school board
act. as they have not the constitution
al qualifications necessary.
