What You Have to Do To Vote in Lawrence
A great number of students of the University have the impression that because they are away from their home, they cannot vote in the November elections. To correct this mistaken impression the Daily Kansan prints herewith an objection on the Absentee Dawson, attorney-general of Kansas.
"Chapter 181 of the laws of 1911 extended this privilege to all qualified electors and provided in substance, that any elector who is unavoidably absent from the county where such voter resides on election day may vote elsewhere in the state for state of affairs, the district officers and district officers and members of the legislature for the county where such voter resides."
No registration is required, as the majority of the University authorities thought the signing of an af fidavit amounts to the registration.
This voting may be done in any precinct in Lawrence on election day. The students need but to go to the polls and fill out the following affidavit which the election judges shall declare the vote has been his will be given the general ballot, which he shall mark as hereafter directed
"State of Kansas, ___ County, ss,
"I, ___ so dolemally swear that I have resided in the state of Kansas more than six months, and in the township of ___ or, in the township of ___ of the city of ___
in the county of ___ in said state, more than thirty days next preceding this date, and am in all respects a duly qualified elector of said ___ that I am ___
(duties, occupation or business) and because of my duties as such ___
I am required to be absent from my township or ward on this day, and have had to vote there, and that I have not voted there; and that I have not entered at this election."
"An absentee voter who appears at the polls and makes oath in the form set out above MUST be given a gen-
ual name, where his name is indicated where this privilege is requested are not concerned about such voters' qualifications, registration etc. Any irregularity will be corrected in the area where he resides and where the balloon is sent.
"There is no longer a separate blank ticket or blank ballot as contemplated in the original laws in 1901, but the new general ballot has a blank line under each office to be filled that answers the same purpose. More is necessary that the voter write on this blank line the name of every person for whom a vote is cast. The candidates for the United States stator and for the Supreme Court are already named on the general ballot, and likewise the candidates for congress, and for district judge, provided the voter's home is in the same congressional district and judicial district as the precinct where he or she votes.
"In such a case a cross mark in the square after the printed name is the proper manner of voting, and it is necessary to write in the name of candidates on the ballot, not do all the work on the ballot, as in the case of county officers.
“And in canvassing the vote the county commissioners must bear in mind that a voter is not responsible will not invalidate the ballot. In this connection I might say that the words "duties or occupations or business" do not limit the right to vote away from home to those engaged only in gainful occupations. The ancient and most honorable duties of the housewife are among these occupations, while the latter were held in Kansas. Any woman who is absent from her county, engaged in any of the numerous activities of womenhood has this privilege.
Facts and Figures About the Mill Tax
The following is the explanation of the authority by an authority of the University;
The mill tax is a method for providing a permanent income for educational institutions. It consists of a tax laid in accordance with the constitution or statute laws of a state, or both, providing that for a given institution like a university a tax of a mill, more or less, on the assessed utilization of the state be paid and collected each year. As the assessed valuation of a state changes but gradually in a series of years it is easy to compute what the tax will raise. Because of the fact that the product of the tax may be used for the institution named and nothing else the institution knows to a certainty how much its permanent income must be made in order to make its plans for a long series of years. The advantage of this is obvious.
A mill tax seldom if ever yields enough for the whole support of a university. Special appropriations must therefore be asked for for large and special equipment. It is however comparatively easy to secure such appropriations because they are relatively small, while it is difficult to secure appropriations for the whole support of a University, including buildings and special equipment, because they necessarily are very large and a legislature hesitates from approving such appropriations of public funds. To illustrate this point, the total received by legislative appropriation for the University of Kansas during the current biennium was about $752,500 if we had had a mill tax yield. A permanent agency would have appropriated out of the total amount given above would have been about $100,000.
