This is said to be feature Of economy

Tonnage of railroads is said to be

the retirement of motivepower. This
let up in traffic has one advantage.
which is that the badly overworked

lines can be put in thorough repair
this summer so that last winter s
damage will not become permanent.

Proportional Representation
Fourth Article.l

person of your choice you must get
ninety-nine of the other men to agreel
With you in the choice OF represen-
;tat t;;vf. Then If one hundred OF You,
that is, one-tenth Of the voters, agree
together on a representative, you arel
entitled to that representative, and thel
other nine hundred have right 10
mar your choice. The same thing APP
plies to every other one hundred vot-l
ers who can agree together on rep
resentative.
In brief, this is the plan: divide the
number of voters by the number II
representatives to be elected, and yoll
thereby get the number OF voters WhoI
are entitled to one representative; Tor
instance, in a district containing 2S,0OOl
voters and returning seven members,
four thousand votes are necessary tol
elect one representative, and these
four thousand votes are called quo
ta." We may, therefore, call Proper
tional Representation the quota sys-
tenn.
Then the practical question is: how
to carry out this principle SO that
the voters may combine and give
quota of votes to each elected candl-
date and no more. How will they
know. when candidate has got
quota, so they need not throw away
any more votes on him after he has re-
ceived enough to elect him? How will
they know when candidate has SO
few supporters that he can not get q
quota, and therefore can not be elect
ed? And what should be done when
votes are scattered among a dozen
candidates for the seven seats?
The solution of these questions is
found in the various plans OF Pro-
portional Representation, such as the
Swiss Free List, the Hare-Spence plan
and the Cove System.
/ An essential feature of all these
methods is the large district return
i ing several members.
i In subsequent articles | shall des-
cribe these specific methods of carry
i Ing out the proportional principle.

Hitherto | have in former articles
pointed out the evils resulting from
IL: The defective plan of voting now
employed which is basedd on the
use of electoral districts from
which only one member is elected.
Before describing improved plans OF
Proportional Representation, let us
consider for short time the prln-
ciples which must underline any
proper voting system.
These principles apply not only TO
the election of congressman and mem
members of state legislatures, but TO
members of city, town, village, county
and township councils. Their scope Is
even wider than that, for clubs, labor
unions. and the thousands OF volun-
tary associations can Use these prln-
ciples in their elections, and derive
much benefit therefrom.
You will notice, however, that these
principles are not and cannot be ap-
pljed to elections where necessarily
only one official is elected: such as
the governor of state or the mayor
of a city. Yet even in such elections
there is room for a great improvement
of method. winch I shall describe III
due course.
Foundation Principles
The only fair and honest method OF
representation is that method when
will represent all important phases
of public opinion in proportion to the
number of voters holding these opln-
ions Let us illustrate this principle.
Here are a thousand men who nave
important business to be transacted,
They propose to elect committee OF
ten persons to do their business. On
what principles should these ten per-
sons be elected. Evidently each one
