THINGS WORTH wIlILE.

The three suggestions made 1he chamber Of
commerce last week 10y Mr.. G. J. Wrghlsman
might very well command more than mere pass
ing attention from that Organization The club
building idea is worthy of Tulsa II should
arouse enthusiastic support, ana would, II car
ricd 10 speedy completion. bring to this city
prmacy In stiil another field.
Like approval can also he given the suggcs-
tion that Tulsa men OF means organize q build
ing concern for the purpose Of erecting apart
men,s I'm keeping with the high Tulsa standard,
yet to be rented at a livc-und let live figure In
offering to subscribe literally to tho stock of
such a concern tho speaker gave evidence OF
his good faith.
But II les to MIR Wrghtsman's proposal that
tho chamber inaugurate movement TO bring
about the adoption of a compulsory voting law
that The world invites special attention. Here is
u reform that goes to tho very vitas of oonsu
tutional government.
II is clearly evident that " popular govern
ment is to attain it's highest purpose It must
command the conscientious services Of those
charged with the responsibility OF itA admins.
tration chief among the obligations OF citizen
ship Is that OF exercising the franchise. our
laws require that the citizen must respond to all
court processes he must pay taxes. He must.
when called upon to do so. serve as part Of the
judicial system IN tho administration of Justice.
All Of this Is not only permissible service but
a compulsory service GROWING OUT OF THE
CITIZENS STATUS AS A SOVEREIGN
Yet the primary obligation Of ALI that OF
orcsing the franchise Is loft discretionary with
Iho citizen. The result in actual practice Is that
q vast numher ~ thosos citizens best capable OF
using the franchise wisely do not 1t at all,
while major decisions OF the electorate are pro-
cured not through Independent use OF the fran
chlsc, thus stamping them with the imperial seal
of public opinion, but favor to some special
interest that is thus enabled to make mere
minority an authoritative majority
The remedy Is apparent Make the use Of The
franchise compulsory. Force every elector to
exercise hie privilege olcctor or In lieu
thereof to pay ana pay heavily for his dellu-
quoncy. The way to make voting popular is 20
make the failure to vote expensive
II citizens forced to go To the polls and
there register their decision on pending Issues
the result must inevitably be beneficial For the
major sentiment of this country when articu-
late, is always safe The danger is in a great
portion OF that sentiment remaining inarticuate;
the apparent shortcomings OF popular govern
ment are all traceahlo to that cause.
The World would very much like to see the
chamber Of commerce set Itself patriotic a
task a. MIR wrightsman suggests It would
deem It privilege to cooperate In such a
movement to the fullest extent.

AMEND THE CITY CHARTER.

Tho fren1lcd and in spots ludicrous effort %

Tar as Intentions so. nut good intentions must
be buttrosscd by practical efforts to accomplish
anything worth while.
The government OF Tulsa must always be
political It does not follow that 1t must al

that Il will be partisan unless and until the
charter Is amended in such a way as to remove
the Objectionable partisan influence and prac-

AS matters now stand such a thing as "A non
partisan campaign is just as impractical as a
nonpartsnn administration Because to put a
ticket in the field in opposition to tickets by

like to see men called to the public service on
their merit citizens, students OF political
economy and skilled ADMINISTRATORS not because
OF their standing in any partisan organization.
We would like to sec our officials answer'bla
