ELECTION IS URGED
Ob"rholtzcr Stresses Necessity for
Passage Of Amendment Edu-
Gators sponsor

'The passage by the legislature OF
the concurrent resolution authoriz-
inE the governor to call "A special
election for the submission OF a bet
ter schools amendment TO the state
constitution * of tremendous import
To tho schools of Oklahoma" said
superintendent II. r.. Oherholtzcr.
who was one OF the leaders OF tho
group of school men who gathered
at the state capitol last week TO in
terest the lawmakers In the measure.
yesterday
Tho amendment being sponsored
by the educators would permit
boards of education 20 levy Is mills
for school purposes, and would ad-
init OF a lO-mill excess levy when
authorized by the voters. 1t is hoped
that the governor will call a special
election I'm May for the submission
OF the amendment.
without the passage Of the con-
current resolution, action on tho
amendment would necessarily have
been deferred until a regular cleo
tion. School men favor a special
election also because IT eliminates
the possibility OF the school meas
ure being lost sight OF in the mass
of other issues.
While the carrying OF tho amend
mcnt would have no effect on the
Tulsa schools for this year, Il would
afford relief to many districts
throughout the state which are
greatly I'm need OF funds.

Parliament Called In.
The government. from King
George down. is giving every ndica-
ton that 1t is thoroughly aware OF
the gravity of the situation. The
king has called parliament 10 con-
vene for Monday, eight days sooner
than the day originally set, because
state of emergency exists" The
governments official declaration,
moreover, described the situation az
the gravest since the declaration OF
war in 1914 and n special cabinet
committee has been appointed 10
deal with the crisis.
As in previous coal strikes, tho
all-overshadowing fear of the gov
ernment again lest the two other
parties to the triple alliance" the
railroad men and the transport
workers, Join the miners. Thousands
of dock workers employed handling
coal have gone out.
Much Damage Already Done.
The main concern Is to get suf-
ficient men to man the pumps at
the mines. a difficult problem, owing
to the strong picketing by the
strikers.
Six big mines are already flooded
40 that they can never be put in
operation again. Thirty others have
applied TO the government for help
in pumping TO prevent their flood
ing.
A nationwide call has been issued
for volunteers to assist in pumping
the mines. Meanwhile the usual
stringent measures OF restriction and
economy have been ordered by the
government.
