The VOTERS
MARK
HOW THE BALLOT SHOULD
BE TREATED
Suggestions For the Voting
0Odru

Voter should particularly note the
change made in Section 20 of the Aus
tralian Ballot Law by the last Legis-
lature. This section now provides
that the cross or X shall be stamped
by the voter with a stamp furnished
by the election board, in the square,
land in no other place." after the
name of the person for whom he in
tends to vote. G /.
Many citizens seem to think that a
rubber stamp is required by law. The
statute simply uses the word stamp"
without qualification. OF course. a
rubber stamp may be used.
In California when the Australian
Ballot Law first went into operation
rubber stamps were used, but some
smart election officer got onto the fact
that he could use "brother-in-law
rubber stamp attached to the inside
of the thumb. When ballot was be
ing called off. a sharp eyed caller
could note whether some Office far
Their down on the ticket was vCtct
for the way he wanted it. If not sat
isfactory, he could simply work m;
thumb over that Office and invalidat'
the voters choice.
In Sacramento in 1894 the stamp
we're made of soft pine wood, whicl
makes a good mark when presse;
ting paper under it, and it is imposs
BILE to initiate the mark made by thi
kind of a stamp with rubber.
The Appeal sets forth the foregoin
as suggestions to the County Commi!
siOners and the Election Boards

ing election.

upon what is being shipped to them
BY the various companies.
practically all Of TIE Reading com.
pany's collieries are in operation. The
company shipped from the mines dur.
ing the past two days nearly 1900 cars
of coal. This means a daily produc.
ton Of nearly 10000 tons"
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company has 5000 Of the
Reading cOmpany's coal cars ON its
tracks in the western part Of the state,
AZ well as ! 500 belonging to the Gen.
trail Railroad Of New Jersey. These
are now urgently needed in the anthra-
cite trade. Their nondelivery, it is
claimed. ia causing much delay in the
shipment of anthracite to points west
Of Harrisburg.
Duration Of Advanced Prices.
Reading company officials decline to
discuss the question as to whether the
advance of 50 cents Z ton made in
October would hold good during 1903.
but they admitted that it would Ger
tainly rule beyond Jan. /, 1903, the
date fixed by President Baer for a re-
duction to the old rate. An operator
who attended the meeting Of the oper-
ators in New York stated that the ad-
vance would be retained during all Of
next year.
The anthracite output in normal
years ranges from 100000 tons to
81, 600 tons, and 1t is estimated that
to meet the increased demand the COM
panies will turn out In 1908 at least
56,OOO,OOO tons, and probably 6O.OOO,-
GOO tons. Half dollar ton increase,
1t is said, would more than recoup the
operators for their losses sustained by
the strike.
The Reading company has arranged
to spend $3.000,000 in opening new
mines and building breakers, and Pres
ident Baer has determined to develop
the company's properties to their full
est capacity.
