OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. February
2S.-The status of the resolution pro-
posing ratification of the federal
woman suffrage amendment was be-
clouded when the special session of
the legislature met in final session to-
day. The resolution was back in the
lower house for conclusive action.
Passed by the house with an emer-
gency clause that would have made
it operative Immediately. the reso-
luton was shorn of that feature when
it was passed by the senate yester-
day. Further to bemuddle the situa-
ton. Gov Robertson announced that
to become effective tho rattfytng reso-
luton needed only his signature.
Anti-suffrage leaders contended,
however, that since the emergency
clause was eliminated by the senate
the proposed measure was subject to
referendum by proper petition and in
no event could become operative In
fewer than ninety days.
The governor countered with the
statement that there was no way the
ratification resolution could be re-
ferred after adoption by the legisla-
ture and having received his sigma

THE chief work of the United

James r. Mann. former republican
leader. said in the House Yesterday.
Representative Begg. republican. of
Ohio. had chided the House because
superintendents Of village schools
were getting larger salaries than the
United States commissioner OF edu-
cation. If this man is worth any
thing he ought to be worth more
than $4,000 q year said Mr. Begg, "or
the position ought to be abolished"
IF the government of the United
States wants to undertake the super
vision of public instruction in the
United States" said Mr.. Mann. they
ought to pay a man a very high SAL
ary to do that. I do not believe the
time has come when the education

moved from local control and CEN
tralized in q bureau OF government
