‘BY MARK’ VOTES
BIG FACTOR IN
LAST ELECTION
NINETY-THREE REGISTER “BY
MARK” AND VOTE—MAINLY
IN INDIAN PRECINCTS
(From Juneau Empire.)
In nine precincts in the November
election, registration “by mark” was
premitted by judges of election, it
was disclosed yesterday in an ex
amination of the registration books
made by the Territorial Canvassing
Board. Most of this was done in the
Indian precincts.
At Haines, where 9 peiwons permit
ted to vote, the election judge wrote
in the register that the “marks in
dicated voters who did not read nor
write.” And while no such notation
was carried, it is said that the mark
itself is an indication of the inability
of persons so registering to either
read or write. In no case was there
anything to indicate whether the per
son obtaining the official ballot in
this manner recieved official aid in
marking the ballot or voted unaided.
This vote at Klawock alone, if
not counted would be sufficient to
ove rturn the small lead held by the
Indian leader W. L. Paul, over J. J.
, Connors and seat the latter in the
i House of Representatives. One hun
dred and thirty-eight votes were cast
in that precinct out of which 3S were
of persons registering “by mark.”
The precincts in which such votes
J were allowed and the number voting
in each precinct as revealed by the
j Canvassing Board’s scrutiny oT the
|registration books follow:

The Board made the examination at
) the request of George B. Grigsby and
IS. Hellenthal, counsel for J. J. Con
nors and other candidates. They have
been furnished a list of the above
mentioned precincts.
Whether or not judges registered
other persons unable to write their
; names could not be ascertained. The
Board said in some instances the
handwriting showed some similarity
| but if it was that of the judges there
was no notation to show why they
had registered the elector instead of
requiring personal registration.
The Board has withheld its decla
ration on whether or not it would
conduct canvass of the individual bal
lots or permit an examination of them
by others.

Finances of Oxford
Burdened with Long
Leases at Low Rent
OXFORD, Feb. 5—The total in
come of the university and colleges
of Oxford during the past year was a
trifle more than five million dollars.
Of this, the larger part is college in
come. Magdalen, the richest college
has an annual income of more than
five hundred thousand dollars; Hert
ford, the poorest, has only fifty thous
and dollars.
In general, the college incomes are
| small as compared with their capital.
Nearly all are large holders of land
which were let one or two centuries
ago on enormously long leases at
rents which are now rediculously lit
tle—often only two or three dollars
per year for the whole farm. They
are also large holders of church titles
i and livings of country parishes, which
| have also greatly depreciated in value.
Queen’s College is the most fortu
1 nate of the landholding colleges, as
I the great docks at Southampton are
; built on its property. Balliol still
i suffers from the mismanagement of
i its investments in Elizabeth’s time,
and Wadham is poor because its
money is largely invested in shares in
ancient canals.
The great differences in wealth of
the various colleges is the chief rea
son for the differences in their fees
and expenses. The college expenses
in Balliol or Worchester are almost
twice as high as in Queen’s or Cor
pus Christi. As these differences
are not set out in any notices or cat
alogues, many American scholars have
unwittingly chosen the most expen
sive colleges.
Unlike the American universities,
Oxford receives very little in volun
tary gifts a nddonations. During the
past year donations amounted to less
than ten thousand dollars. Drives,
endowment campaigns and the peren
nial solicitation of prosperous alum
ni are unknown.
The colleges annually contribute
about $350,000 to the university. An
other quarter of a million is contrib
uted by the government in general
and special grants. The largest
source of university revenue is ex
amination fees, which amount to a
half million dollars yearly. The ex
amination in Holy Scripture, called
Divinity Moderations, or more short
ly, Divvers, is one of the most profit
able. All members of the university
are required to take it at a cost of
$25 during their first term and to
continue taking it at a like cost for
each succeeding term until they pass
it. The university administration
costs are extremely low—about $65,
000 a year. The largest items of
annual expense are the more than
half a million dollars paid to teach
ers yearly, and the $350,000 spent by
the college on teaching and research.
The university police costs about ten
thousand dollars annually, but the
fines they collect fro merrant and er
ring students make them a profitable
institution.
