Election reform is one Of the themes
before the Doninain Parliament up in
Ottawa and they take voting SO
seriously that they are discussing a
provision that an elector who neglcctS
to discharge his duties as a citizen by
voting shall be deprived of the
franchise for six years unless he shows
on oath good reason for his failure to
go to the polls. Another change which
is expected to have far reaching effect
is the prohibition of carriage hiring on
election day. Any one demanding or
receiving payment for the use of Il
horse or team on election day is made
liable to a fine of 800. 1t will be
interesting to note the working out OF
these reforms. which seem little
drastic on this side of the border
