WOMEN DON'T HAVE
TO GIVE AGE; JUST
DATE THEIR BIRTH

Women who were reluctant to give
their age in years when registering to
vote at the election in November may
evade strict compliance with the reg
istration law, according to an opinion
given Saturday by Maurice E. Ten
nant of the committee of counsel for
the state board of election commits
sioners.
From letters received by the cleo
ton commissioners from political
workers throughout the state it IS
evident that many women will refuse
to register If compelled to state their
ages. One of the letters suggested
that the women be permitted to give
the date of their birth, thereby giving
the information demanded by law.
but not complying to the letter OF the
statute.
Loath to Give Age
It was pointed out that many women
who are loath to give their ages in so
many years are perfectly willing to
give the date of their birth. Their
reasoning seems to be that inquiring
persons will not stop to compute their
ages.
Mr.. Tenant finds that the mere
stating OF the date Of birth on the
registrant's application blank is a
proper compliance with the law, al
though 1t does not follow strict tech
meal Interpretation of the statute.
He points out that both parties are
DESTROYS of having the women vote
and are therefore willing to place a
liberal construction on the law as 1t
relates to nativity records in order to
remove this bar from women exercis-
ing their right of franchise The Opin-
ion Is concurred in by Will H. Thomp-
son. Republican member, and w. w.
Spencer, Democratic member, or the
state board of election commissioners.
Opinion Not to Conflict.
This opinion, however, does not in
any way conflict with previous rul-
ing of the election commission holding
all registrations void in which the
age of the applicant was given as
"twenty-one plus"
At the first registration, Sept. 4, 1t
was discovered that many women at
tempted TO evade giving their correct
age by resortlng to the statement that
they were more than 81 years old.
The election commission held that 1t
was not merely the intention Of the
law to make certain that the voters
were OF age, but that the age was de-
manded as one means of identifying
the voter.
If this ruling holds all registrants
who gave their age as ''21 plus" will
be barred from voting unless they re-
register at the next registration, Oct.
4. Efforts are being made by the
parties to sort out the faulty registra-
ton blanks and have the registrants
make out new papers.
Answers Inquiry.
The opinion relative to giving the
date of birth instead of the age, was
given by Mr.. Tenant to Mrs. Carl
Byers, of Hazelrig, Boone county.

PORTLAND WHITLEY
MAKES HIS LAST STAND
NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL WHO ROB-
BED WALLACE POSToFFlCE,
NEAR DEATH.

About fifteen years ago the safe in
tie Wallace pOstoffce was blown open
10y yeggmen, who got away with be-
tween 5000 and 5000 a few weeks la
ter Fred Love, notorious criminal,
better known as Portland Whitley"
" AS arrested at Occur d'Alene on sus-
picion of being one of the criminals
He was tried and convicted in this
city and sentenced to a long term in
the penitentiary at Boise After a few
years i'm confinement he made his es-
cape and was recaptured in North
Dakota. He was later found to be
afflicted with an incurable disease
which it was claimed required con-
slant treatment, and the prison being
without suitable facilities for caring
for the case, and the authorities be-
heving that ii would be only a short
time until he would die, he was re-
leased from prison upon a guarantee
from relatives to care for him and
that he would not return to his evil
ways The last chapter in the career
of this noted criminal is told in the
following story from a recent issue
of the Portland Oregonian, for a copy
OF which the Miner is indebted to
Charles w. Gibbs. Of Underwood
Wash, who was resident Of this
city at the time of the postoffice rob-
berry:

Another matter which, though hard
ly cause for legal difficulties, is
nevertheless a source Of much annoy
ance, is the practice of giving the
same survey number 10 each and all
claims surveyed as a group, as is done
in Colorado. The engineer. trying to
locate himself on the land covered by
such a group of perhaps ten claims,
finds corner marked, say 4-8275.
There are in this group ten claims, and
therefore ten corners similarly mark
ed Unless he happens to know the
ground, or can Identify the corner
from some natural object, he is kept
guessing until he finds other corners
and can compare relative positions
The only excuse for this practice APP
pears to be a slight saving in the du-
ties of the indexer in the surveyor
generals office. There is no good
reason why each claim should not have
a separate number so that the find
ing of any corner Of it on the ground

ton of the claim.
There should be federal law max
ing it compulsory that anyone obtain
ing a patent for a mineral claim
should have the patent recorded in
order to complete the validating Of
his title. ownership of read estate
must be proved by a recorded deed. If
such deed were burned or lost with
out having been recorded, the holder
would lose his title to the property.
Why should patent from the govern
ment be regarded in any different
light? l would go even further and
suggest that every survey for patent
should be recorded in the county in

application for patent is made or not
Probably the best way to obtain
action on questions Of this kind is to
start an open discussion in the pages
of Engineering and Mining Journal
and eventually to get the larger min
ing societies to bring them before the
proper Legislative bodies. The coun
