MAEIyG 4 PRESIDENT.

Speaker Carlisle was recently inter-
viewed on the subject of the electoral
system and declared in favor of change
in the method of choosing a president.
His plan was first suggested by him to a
committee OF the Forty-fifth congress, of
which he was member, appointed to
consider this question. It would divide
the electoral votes of the states among
the parties on the basis of their propor
lions of the popular vote.
The speaker S plan is simply an evolu-
ton of the idea of minority representa-
ton. It's logical end would be to give
mInorities. propoTtionate representation
il every department of the government.
If that he proper and eXpedient then the
Democratic party has been under delu-
sion from the time of its organization,
and the maxim that majorities should
rule should be stricken from its creed.
In 1926 q senate committee was ap-
pointed to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
change in the electoral system. At ITS
ilCtib was d Statesman W ilAiOul Al ptSt III
his or in any succeeding generation,
Thomas H. Benton of Missouri. The
other members of the committee were
Mr.. Macon of North Carolina, Martin
Van Buren,, Mr.. White of Tennessee, Mr..
Findlay of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Dick
erson of New Jersey, Mr.. Holmes of
Maine, Mr.. Hayne OF South Carolina,
and Richard NJ. johnson of Kentucky,
constituting, with their chairman, the
cream of the craftsmanship of a period
which gave to the republic its greatest
statesmen. This committee reported
unanimously a plan which contained
three features:
/ The abolition of electors, and
the direct vote of the people.
.. A second election between the two
highest on each list when no one has
majority of the whole.
8. Uniformity in the mode of election.
Its purpose, as stated by Mr.. Benton,
was ''to get rid of all the machinery by
which the selection of their two first

SENATOR BLAIR'S LABOR BILL.
A Plan to Collect Information and Relieve
Extreme Distress.

A Plan to Collect Information and Relieve
Extreme Distress.
The bill introduced by Mr. Blair in the
senate provides that there shall be estab-
lished by the president, on the recon-
mendation of the commissioner OF labor,
throughout the United States, in geo.
graphical sections which shall include
population of not less than 100 ZOO nor
more than 3 200 ,0GO inhabitants, bureaus
of information relating to employment :,
occupations, wants, means of liyelh95d
and homes. Each bureau is to consist of
chief and the clerical force 5und,
necessary to carry ont the purposes oS4se
bill. It is made the duty of these bureaus
TO gather, by every available means, tksS
most complete and reliable informafs6n
relative to the people, the wages, the
homes, the opportunities for employ
ment, the quality of lands, the climatic
and sociologic conditions, the transport
tation facilities, and in general every
thing relating to or that may be of inter-
est to working people. Provision is made
for the publication at least once a month
OF an abstract giving the information col
lected, and for the giving free of
charge of any information specifically
asked for by any citizen of the
United States. 1t is also made
the duty of the chiefs of bureau to make
known throughout their districts in
stances of extreme poverty, hardship and
distress, without needless exposure of
names of parties, and also to report the
same to the commissioner of labor, who
shall report such information briefly to
congress, with a recommendation of
such means OF relief as may seem to him
to be wise and necessary. 1t is made the
duty of bureaus of information to make
special inquiry in relation to the condi-
ton, wants and necessities of
women and children, and to pub
lish the results of their inves-
LEGATIONS with view to arousing and di-
recting charitable or other effort, and
thereby securing employment, homes,
education and such other relief as each
case may require. The president and
heads of departments are required to give
employment on public works only to
American citizens, and to give prefer1I
ence III employment to persons residsa
in the vicinity of the work to be doEe.
The annual salary of the chiefs of BUREAUS
is fixed at $1,000, and the limit of annnal
expenditures of each bureau at $40 ,Gg0.
