WOOD OBJECTIONS AGAINST
MOTOR LICENSE REFERENDtM
ARE DISMISSED BY MORklS

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.-Joe S. Nor
ris. secretary of state, yesterday as
missed objections filed to the protest
of Henry Wood to the referendum petl'
ton against House Bill sos, the mea'
sure passed by the last legislature
which increased the rate of motor vehl
Gle licenses. The objectors set up
that the secretary of state is required
to give an immediate hearing and tha'
he had no right to set the hearing 1or
October l. Mr. Morris overruled thelt
objections and the hearing Will be held
on the date set.
In the meantime Wood is causing
the petition for referendum to be check
ed in every county in which II WAS
circulated There are little more
than 600 names in excess OF the num-
Der required and if investigation proves
that this number, or more, OF the sign
ers. are not bona fide citizens or voters
if is probable that the referendum petl
tion will be held to be insufficient.
Henry Wood who filed the protest
against the referendum petition, IS
state highway commissioner, put ne
took that action as a citizen ana no.

the objections filed a few days ago
were an effort to prevent checking or
the petition in that had the secretary
of state ruled with the objectors ana
set the hearing for an early date there
would not be sufficient time in Which
to make the probe of the petition. Mr'
Morris took the position that inasmuch
as the election cannot well De Heiu
until next year and that the law Is not
operative, if it stands until January l.
no one was likely to suffer by placing
the date for hearing at the time set
House Bill 500 was companion 10
Senate Joint Resolution No. 10, uhder
which the $50 900 900 road bond ISSUE
defeated at the special election May D.
was submitted. The present motor
license law places the fees on basis
of horse power; the pending law chah'
ges this to a valuation basis. In the
event that the referendum should stand
and later be upheld by vote at the
polls. the present motor license TAXA
ton law would remain in force.

The Democratic Platform Promised Living
Wages and Proper Retirement Law
For Government Clerks.
By E A RI GOODWIN

When gentleman arises and asks his constituents for
their votes he makes certain promises which the people
demand that he fulfill in return for their support
When he says that he will support a protective tariff
or that he will support free trade BILL his voting con-
suents who elect him have every right believe that he
will do exactly what he says. .
If he makes promise in order to get vote and does
not keep the promise, then he is trickster. s-
Suppose, now, we look back to the Democratic plat
fo framed in june 1916. Casting eye its plank
we read the following: ...'
owe hold that the fe health and strength of the men
and women of the nation its greatest asset and that in
the conservation of these the Federal Government wherever
acts as the employer of labor should both its
account and example put into effect the following
principles of just employment
1. LIVING WAGE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
Z. AN EQUITABLE RETIREMENT Law PROyID-
ING FOR THE RETIREMENT OF SUPERANNUATED
AND DISABLED EMPLOYEES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
TO THE END THAT A HIGHER STANDARD OF EFF
CIENCY MAY BE MAINTAINED. ........
Gentlemen of the Congress, you are about to appro-
pirate hundred million dollars for sufferers in OTHER
countres about to embark upon reconstruction
work that will reake the world and by its very character
the world will Judge whether not YOU are large or
small outfit. Do something for your employees.
Take this advice: Keep your promise to paw a living
rage to Gopernn1ent employees and also enact just and
equitable retirement and pension aps II you want to do
the right thing, make these Laps if you want to Lpe in
history as Dig men, pass these LAWS; If You merely want
to hold your iobs pass these laws The day for exploit
ing poteess Government employees has gone BY.

hurry before.
And we stopped the shrewd man

then we met two or three others
sauntering ahead of a gay group.
Finding the Real.
The Down-and-Outer used to
play golf with them and bridge
and give them suppers and din

fully embarrassed when they saw
the Down-and- Outer.
But one of them took pains to
be very cordial indeed and some
how that made me want to cry.
And the Down-and- Cutters eyes

the street together, and in three
quarters of an hour we took the
measure Of at least twenty diff
ferent persons that we both
thought We knew very we'll in

The Beauty that l had always
thought a heartless girl was de
