PARKER ADVISES
TO VOTE

With the near approach of the
presidential election it is interesting
to note the difference of opinion in
various states regarding the qualifi-
cations for voters. If the election
laws in all states were generally en-
forced the voting strength of all
parties would be materially reduced
Most of these qualifications are con-
sidered obsolete in the states where
they still remain upon the statute
books.
Twenty states have a literacy test
fer voters, altho the standard Is
somewhat elastic. In the state OF
New York citizen must be able to
read fifty words from the constitu
ton and write legibly in English ten
words from the passages read. In
other states the prospective voter
must be able to read the constitution
and write his or her own name. In
other states the voter is not re
quired to be able to read the consti
tuition but he must be able to ex
plain it's meaning. In other states
the literacy test merely requires IN
general terms that the voter be able
to read and write, while in still 9th
ers the voter meets the literacy test
if he can write a single line or his
own name.
Some states require voter to have
employment at election time. Soutl
Carolina demands that in order t.
vote the citizen must be paying taxes
on $500 or more property. Some Of
the New England states have similar
qualifications requiring ownership, oi
real property as necessary quail
fication for voting. A good mora
character or good behavior is a nee
essary condition to voting in some
states, while in others the exercise
of the franchise is denied to paupers
Almost every state disqualifies fel
ons, idiots, the insane, and persons
serving Sentence under conviction fol
crimes. If the laws were enforced in
some states the voter would be dis
qualified for betting on the result OF
an election.
In our own state of Idaho the elec
ton law requires six months residence
in the state, and thirty days resi-
dence in the county in which the
citizen offers to vote. Vote Novem
Der 4 vote as you please; but vote
n order to regain the representative
which we lost in the last legislative
appOrtionment.

NJ +be editor of the Free Press:
A. tbe last convention of county
commissioners held at Pocatelio, the
following resolutions We're passed:
eve realize that tax burdens in
Idaho are becoming unbearable ana
IN many instances amount to confls-
cation. proving serious check 10
tbo industry of our state"
North Idaho was represented by
o,gbt commissioners. The whole time
Of tbis convention was taken up with
tbe ouestion of taxation and all pres
ent agreed that under the present sys-
fem of the ability of the taxpayers to
nav no is the last one to be consider
cd LEGISLATORS meet and legislate for
tbe wants and needs of the state !;
county boards levy for the need of the
county: city boards for the need OF
the city: school boards for the same,
and many highway districts the same
without any regards to what other
taxing bodies have done, and when
the sum total is added together 1t
becomes unbearable and at the pres
ent time the property tax has reached
the breaking point. This same cOnyen-
tion of commissioners of Idaho de-
clared in favor of the creation OF
tax commission that should replace
the present state board of equaliz-
taxation boards, tax levies and ex-
penditures of all of our public money.
They also went on record against
any more exemptions of property from
taxation. They opposed any widows
pension without thorough investigation
They also opposed strongly any fur
ther levies, state or county, for school
purposes and recorded themselves as
against anyone voting in favor of a
tax or bond issue who is not himself
a taxpayer. At the last meeting OF
our Idaho county commissioners, you
will observe the following record; a
Sample of some of the problems that
confront them:
1t appearing to the board that
there is some 100000 acres of waste
land owned by individuals in this
county that is assessed at $500 per
acre.
That there is some $4,000 acres of
waste land owned by the Northern
Pacific Railway company in this
county assessed at 80 cents per acre.
That waste land as a class. at its
present assessed valuation, has been
passed on and fixed by the lstate
board of equalization.
That the average valuation of
waste land is reduced by reason of
the low valuation of the Northern
Pacific railway lands to approximate
ly S1.33 per acre, but that the North
ern Pacafic railway gets the full ben
eft of the average valuation, while
the individual pays tax on the ex-
cessive valuation.
Therefore, it is hereby recommended

DEMPSEY'S DOCTOR
SAYS HE'LL BE- FIT
TO FIGHT In SPRING
"Out in Week or Ten
Days. |
Were Alarmed. i

New York, March 1.--"Jack Demp-
sey will be out of the hospital in a
week or ten days and he will be in
condition to defend the heavyweight
championship early in the spring. >"
DIR. X. ID. Brennan. who is attending
the champion, said here Saturday
night.
Reports that Dempsey had suffered
a severe relapse; that he had been OPP
Grated on for bad hernia and that
he might never be able to fight again
were termed talk" by Brennan, who
operated on Dempsey Wednesday.
Dempsey was operated on for fis-
tula and hemorrhoids. 1t was not n
serious operation and it was success
full. He is resting comfortably and his
condition is satisfactory" the doc
tor said.
Concern was felt by Dempsey's
friends when attendants at the hos
pital said that no one would be per
mitted to see him.
Failure to get more than tersely
worded reports from the bedside
caused credence to be placed in the
rumors that the champions condition
was serious and that the operation
was the result Of more than a minor
i'll.
Newspapermen have been unable to
communicate with Jack Kearns

there might be some reason for cover

piOn.
Friends of Kearns laughed when
they were asked to verify the rumors
and said there was no cause for con-
Germ.

and he made no mention of Dempsey

kind of worry on his mind" Tex Rick

partner of Kearns said there was no
truth in the report that Dempsey was
in serious condition. He said:
ale expected to remain in the hos
pital for a week or so. The operation
is successful and he is resting easy"
McKetrick said that Dempsey S
friends might have known better than
to get into the sick room.
"They'd have to call out the re-
serves if his room was thrown open
to the public. As long as Dempsey
can't receive all of his friends. he

job is right field. In Boston as in
San Antonio, right is the sun field.
This will give Todt an advantage
over Boone, for Todt had one of the
finest sunfieldihg records with San
Antonio last summer that could be
desired. OF course, if Boone slaugh-
ters the ball as he did here, room
will be made for him in the lineup
somewhere. no matter whether he can
play with Old Sol staring him in the
eye or not.
John Heving, the Mobile product,
is slated for Sox catching job, m
less some misfortune Oyertakes him
or Fate in some other guise steps
in TO prevent it. Heving is smacking
the "stuffleSs" offerings of the young
Sox pitchers to the boards and over
them with the utmost of regularity
and sangfroid. And he's a glutton for
work. Right now he seems TO
have the inside track as understudy
to Steve O'Neill and Val Picinich.
DENLY Williams, the outfielder from
the Mobile Bears who arrived at mid
night Friday, was out for his first
practice Saturday. He's of slight
build but he takes a vicious cut at
the ball and the horsehide seems to
respond to the treatment.
Guy Morrison, the Bruin pitcher.
has a problem. Guy has contracted
to remain as teacher and athletic
director at Main Avenue high school
until the end of the semester in May.
He is in condition, having pitched
in the Winter League and played
basket ball with the Elks team dur
ing the winter, but he can't find time
to work out with the Bears in the
mornings and his connection with the
school will prevent him from making
the early road trips with the team.
He can pitch in home games all
right. However, the Bruins have n
player limit to contend with and a
new rule which says n player cannot
be reinstated after being dropped
until five days are IN. Boss Ben
son is disinclined to share Guy with
his high school. And so the situa-
ton stands. Therc'll be some confer
ences early next week in an effort to
| straighten it out.

Miami, Fla, March 1.-Sixteen of
the greatest professional golf players
in America will come together in an
invitation team tournament next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
over the course of the Miami Country
Club.
Long Jim Barnes of Pelham, is the
only top-notch star invited who sent
word that he would be unable to play.
Macdonald Smith, California open
champion, has been chosen in his
place.
Here is the way they will pair off
for the first round:
Havers and Ockendon vs.. Mcleod
and Diegel.
Cruikshank and Mclean vs.. Brady
and Hutchinson.
Mehlhorn and Mac Smith vs.. Sara
zen and Farrell.
French and Hackney vs.. Hagen and
Kirkwood.
| This tournament is bound to pro-
duce some of the fastest golf ever Of
fered south of the Mason and Dixon
line. One reason why the going is
sure to be swift is the prize list to-
falling $4,000, which has been sub
scribed by various organizations here.
The winning pair will draw down
| $1,000, the runners-up will get $1,000,
while the players in the semi-final
round will receive $3.50.
Something Entirely New.
Some of the teams appearing in
this list have played against eacl
other but never before has there been
this kind of competition with sixteen
of the best "pros" engaged.
Sarazen and Farrell toured togeth
er last summer and en- route they
met Hagen and Kirkwood and Cruili,
shank and Mclean. In their strug'
gle against Sir Walter and his part
ner, the young homebreds finished all
even. Against the other pair they
were defeated in one match and were
victorips in the other.
| There is not an outstanding pair ir
the field unless Jock Hutchinson and
Mike Brady can be considered such
Brady has been the professional al

three years. In that time he has cul.
tivated the acquaintance of every
blade of grass, every roll in each
green and each of the 146 traps that

he stopped off long enough to repeat
the performance.

After months of waiting, Clarke
Griffith announced the Washington
manager for the coming season. Stan
ley Harris, brilliant second-baseman,
gets the job.
The selection of Harris as the next
leader of the Nationals occasioned
among the fans as much surprise as
did the appointment of Bush last
spring.
In naming Harris. Griffith is again
counting danger. Harris is a great
ball player, but his ability as leader
is questioned.
Harris, even though he Is a star
second sacker. ranking next TO the
great Eddie Collins, is not popular
with the local fans.
Harris has been unfortunate in that
he has played his poorest ball at
home. When he made an error 1t in
variably turned into run. No player
on the Washington club was criti-
cized more than Harris last season.
Unless Harris makes good from the
iump he is in for strenuous season.
incidentally the burden of managing
the club may seriously affect his play
ing.
Why has Griffith failed TO give
Roger Peckinpaugh, brainy infielder:
chance TO prove his managerial
worth?
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-02

Washington fans have been puz-
zled over that question ever since
Outfielder "Zeb" Milan was made
manager of the 1922 aggregation.
When Pecklnpaugh was secured
from New York, it was understood
that Griffith regarded him as man
agerial timber. When Manager
George Mcbride was forced to retire
from the game Peckinpaugh was the
unanimous selection of the sport
writer's as his successor.
President Griffith crossed them up
by appointing Clyde Milan, who
failed to deliver.
The selection Of Milan over Peck
inpaugh was big disappointment to
the crack shortstop. 1t showed in
his play that season, Peckinpaugh
having one of the poorest years of
his career.
1t so happened that Owen Bush and
Peckinpaugh are great friends. When
Griffith again surprised fandom by
selecting Bush, Peckinpaugh was
pleased. He reported in great shape,
played his head off and was perhaps
the most valuable shortstop in the
American League last year.
Random is wondering if the selec-
ton of the youthful Harris over Peck
inpaugh will be as disappointing to
! him as was the naming OF Milan.
