tire state some 80,000 voters
skipped t h e
reapportionment
measure who voted on the liquor
bill.
There is but one conclusion.
There was not enough under
standing o f reapportionment,
even among those whom It would
have helped most. One must con
clude that if over 80,000 failed
to vote at all many more voted
without complete understanding
of the measure.
Probably they
had not heard of the stabilizing
influence It would have had on
the state.
i
In alf probability there will be
• reapportionment bills galore in
the coming session of the legisla
ture.
In fact It Is possible that
the whole session will be affect
ed by passions and prejudices
arising from such bills. That will
be unfortunate because the mem
bers of the legislature have plen
ty of work to do.
schools and $5,000,000 will go
for veterans. • If anything the
school cost will be larger and ”
the veteran cost lower.
That 17 million means l l t t
mills If placed on property. Per-
'sons in Sherman county now s
pay 30 mills If living outside the 1
towns. If their taxes were $300
this year their taxes will be $415 1
when the new taxes go into ef- 1
feet which will be’ within two '
years.
Well, maybe the new taxes 1
can be put. on income. In that
r case the income tax would be J
raised greatly. We now are col-
lecting some $32 million in per- •
sonal incom e. taxes. If another
$17 million was added the per
son who now pays $320 in state
lncfome taxes vfould pay $490.
Maybe it can be put on cigar
ettes, on business, on sales. But
in the long min it all comes back
to the property owner" and con
sumer anyway. And the voters
would probably turn down a new
tax as they have to the past in
which case the property owner
and the Income tax payer will
get the bill.
That is the way it is. The peo
ple voted I t That is the way it
is going to be.
In order to prevent it from
happening again it does look as
If the taxpayers, income^ and
property, would get together and
form an organization to stop
these biennial raids on their
pocketbooks. Until they do they’ll
be buying a lot of expensive gov
ernment from a lot of political
super salesmen.

But the matter of residence
effects several otfteys as well.
On election boards there has
been question for years about
the eligibility of former citizens
to vote In Sherman county after
they have moved away.
They
own property here (the reason
for their interest) and often they
vote here.
Now that the question has
been raised we’d like to know
what “residence” means.
The
election laws, 81-1610 OCLA,
say "The place shall be consid
ered and held to be the residence
of a person In which his habita
tion Is fixed, and to which, when
ever he Is absent, he has the in
tention of returning.” And far
ther on (5) “The place where a
married man’s family resides
shall be considered and held to
be his residence.”
This should be cleared up be
fore someone contests an elec
tion and perhaps throw s out
everyone’s rots.
