Favor Centralized Registration
A plan whereby a system of central-
ized registration may be carried on
throughout the state, and at the same
tlm® comply with all provisions of tho
law regarding registrations, has been,
worked out by the state election
board, the details of which were given
out last week.
Under the plan proposed by the
board, and which It Is believed will
meet with general satisfaction among
election officers, as well as voters,
registration books of the different pre-
cincts in every city where registra-
tion will be conducted, shall be as-
sembled at one convenient place, and
at certain hours during the day, which
will meet the convenience of election
officers, the Inspectors will be on

Would Reduce Repairs Cost
A law which would prohibit manu-
facturers and dealers In machinery
from charging exorbitant prices tor
pieces needed for repair is recom-
mended by the Oklahoma corporation
commission in a report that is being
prepared.for submission to Governor
Cruce. The idea originated with
hand to register voters in their re-
tpectlve precincts.
The main obstacle in the way of a
general centralized registration sys-
tem. as pointed out in a recent opinion
by Attorney General West to the elec-
tion board, was that no one but the
election precinct Inspector could reg-
ister a voter. The authority vested
In the inspector, the attorney general
held, could not be delegated to an-
other party.
At the time this opinion was given
by the attorney general the plan had
been proposed that all registration
books be assembled at one point, and
ono set of election officers placed In
churge of the central registration sta-
tion. The new plan just worked out
by the board meets the demand for
central registration point, and at the
same time provides for Btrlct con-
formiy with the registration laws.
