Passage of SQ 430 authorized local boards of edu-
cation to call for a vote of the electorate seeking
additional financial aid not to exceed 10 mills per
dollar net assessed valuation on the taxable property
located within the school district.
Other legislative questions will be voted upon as
special elections on Dec. 14, May 3. and May 24.
One of the most important of these, as far as Chick-
asha is concerned, is the one on Dec. 14 when voters
will be asked to approve capitol improvement bonds
for state institutions and departments.
With the function of the college changed and con-
version of the institution to coeducational, more new
buildings must be erected. Already the school is ex-
periencing a "full house" and indications it will ex-
pand further.
The electorate in Oklahoma will be called upon to
eliminate the requirement for separate schools for
white and colored; to automatically suspend elected
public officials upon conviction of a felony; establish
a court of the Judiciary with power to remove for
cause certain judges and magistrates; liberalize resi-
dency requirements for voting in presidential and
vice presidential elections; permit governors to be
elected to two successive terms and allowing three
other state officials to succeed themselves; allow
establishment of area vocational school districts to
be financed by annual five mill property tax levies,
upon the approval of certain qualified electors; and
provide for annual sessions of the state Legislature.
We take the issues one at a time and urge you to
vote "yes" on Tuesday on S Q 430.
