COST BUCABOO
RAISED TO KILL
WOMEN'S BILL
Permanent Registration Act
Would Be Too Expensive,
Questions Hint.

The cost bugaboo" was raised in
the Indiana house of representa-
tiyes today to scare legislators from
support of the permanent registra-
ton bill drafted and sponsored by
the Indiana League Of Women
Voters.
"A first cost of S436, 900 and $751;
600 a year thereafter was the echo
Of Tuesdays public hearing that
passed from desk to desk, forebod-
ing no good for the women voters
measure.
Even Representative Harold R.
Donnell, chairman of the house
elections committee, admitted it is
extremely doubtful" if the regis
tration bill ever would emerge from
his committee, biennially the grave
yard of many an election measure.
Questions directed at Miss Flor
ence Kirlin, Indianapolis, executive
secretary of the women's organiza-
ton, who explained the measure,
indicated the elections committee
members we're dubious of the bill.
Miss Kerlin explained that it
would make county auditors ex-
oficio registration officers, charged
with keeping up-to-date card in
dex of qualified voters of the county.
The bill provides means for trans
ferring registration cards upon
change Of residence, and would be
permanently valid unless a person
failed to vote for two years. In
this case registration would be
cancelled after a notice was sent
the neglectful voter.
Donnell read an opinion given
him by Attorney General James M.
Ogden to the effect that the con-
stitution does not require regiStra-
ton of voters. The legislature of
1881, which amended the consti-
tuition ii this respect, made. no pro-
vision for enforcing the require
ment, Ogden contended. Shall"
and may" are used interchange
ably so aften, his opinion said, that
the amendment is not to be con-
struced as making registration man
datory.
Representative oscar A. Ahlgren
of Whiting stressed the necessity of
registration in large counties, like
Lake, and urged the bill be reported
favorably, so that copies might be
laid on the representatives desks.
Jack johnson of F't. Wayne, Al
len county auditor, sharply attacked
the bill.

have the means for profiting from
their experiences. At the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washing

the Konjola Man, and hear his per-
sonal explanation of the merits OF
Konjola. He will point out case
after case wherein Konjola proved
the only medicine that gave relief.
Amazing as it may seem, this mas
ter medicine is at the very peak Of
its power in cases that have defled
all others tried. Take, for instances
the astounding experience Mrs. Ray
Goodlett, 321 Lyons avenue, Indi-
annapolis, who, grateful and happy
beyond words with Konjola, made
this startling statement to the Kon-
jola Man, just few days ago:
Astounding, that is what I say
of this new Konjola. Lord only
knows What I would have done
without it. For two years I suffered
from complete nervous breakdown.
Lhave been in hospitals, taken spe-
ciaI treatments, have had serum in
jected into me-and what do you
think were the results? Absolutely
nothing. At times I was past hear
ing or seeing, I had TO give up my
work, often became unconscious
suddenly and wouldn't know thing
until came to, in bed, where some
one had put me. For days I had
to remain in a chair. was as tired
in the morning as when 1 went to
bed. My constitution was wasting
away, I could not taste food and had
lost all sense of feeling. SO you
see my health was in a very serious
state.
FINALLY my sister-in-law, from
Cincinnati, came to visit me. Upon
seeing how i'll I was she smmedi-
ately recommended Konjola. citing
the thousands of people through
out the country that had been BEN
ef1ted through its use. I decided
that this medicine was worth a trial
and have now taken six bottles. I
sincerely and truthfully say that
Konjola has done more for me than
everything else put together. For
the first time in years I am Begin
ming to feel my old self again and
rapidly and surely I am gaining
back my lost health. The remark
able benefits I have derived have
convinced me that Konjola is. the
most remarkable medicine ever nut
in the reach Of humanity
This is not an unusual case
Konjola has thousands of them To-
It's credit. Day by day more VIC
tories over the most obstinate ana
chronic cases are being added to the
record Of this master medicine. A

ACT
FOR BROADENING
PRIMARY LAW
Advanced by Republican as
Aftermath of G. @. P.
Caucus.

Proposal to broaden the scope of
the primary law rather than re-
strict it as advocated by the Re-
publican state platform, was adj
vanced in a bill introduced in the
state senate today.
Coming from Republican, Sena-
tor John S Alldredge, Anderson, the
bill to extend primary nominations
to all state officers and make plu-
ralitieS sufficient to nominate, in
stead of n1ajorities now required,
furnished a significant aftermath
TO the caucus of majority senators
Tuesday. The caucus deadl3cked on
the senate bill for primary modi-
fication.
A second bill from Alldredge to-
day would provide registration of
voters, with primary poll books as
the basis. County auditors would
direct the registration.
Seventeen bills had been intro
duced, three passed and four adj
vanced to third reading when the
senate adjourned at noon to recon-
vene at 2 p. m.
Bills passed included one affect
ing remonstrances to drainage Pc
titions, another substituting the
names of candidates for President
and President for those OF
electors on ballots and voting ma
chimes, and the third legalizing
bond issues already made for con-
struction of Lincoln bridge over the
White river between Knox and
Pike counties.
Senators Carl NJ. Gray of Peters
burg and William F. Hodges of Gary
introduced measure authorizing
Indiana state prison trustees to en-
ploy prisoners in the manufacture of
