SAYING BUT SMALL Citizen Takes Issue Regarding Monetary Benefit of Vot-
 ing Machines.
ANAL YZES THE EXPENSES
Also Holds That First Satisfaction Wears or and Enuhusi-
 asm Dies Out.

Editor of the nnl-Courier Sir:
 Your editorial of Wednesday last, commenting the action of tho hoard Of aldermen in voting to expend S2S. poo for voting machines. Uhe whole sum they will cost Tn ten years prln- cipal and interest will amount to NS34.1S6), seems to rest on two prop pstions.
 &he first proposition ls that the use of the machines will rave the city from S1,000 to St,200 a year in cleo ton expenses One would like to see theNcomputation by which such a saving Is demonstrated in view of the following figures The election day expenses of the last city election (and no others would be saved by the use of the machlne) were $t,592. About quarter of this sum would be saved by the machine. but this should be offset by at least the same amount incidental to tho machine so that it Is not clear where the saving in that item would come in. But to the general election expenses caused by the machines (for the next ten years at least) must be added the yearly average expenditure on heir purchase cost, viz. S3.414. It should be remembered, however. that forty three intricate and delicate machines
The morning journal-courier., 1908-06-20

fl stored away without care for clever months Gas our election booths are) would be in no condition to operate on election day, and the necessary result would soon he that q skilled mechanic must be employed al a yearly salary 10 keep them In order, Have these Items boon included in estimating a saving in election expenses of rom Sl,ooo 10 s1,900 annually2
 Your second proposition Is that the candidates would he saved through the machine tho cost of "stickers and special ballots and their distribution. '' No doubt this circumstance appealed strongly to the aldermen. both of New Haven and Bridgeport, all of whom had Incurred these expenses in getting themselves elected. and would gladly he relieved from them hereafter, but in view of the fact as shown in the last paragraph that II would be nt 2 greatly increased cost of elections to tho city would it ho equally ac- cop'ahle as an argument to tho tax payers? As everybody knows, tho cost of "stickere and special ballots' is but a small part of the expenses which every candidate for office incurF. the greater part going to party "eomnit- tees" and other influential agencies in his behalf Such "committees" and "aEencles" will also be quite willing to have the candidate relieved of every burden which will leave him more to expend through their assist nnce But with the exception of can didntes for office and party commit tees and the vendors of the machines it is not clear who has wanted a change from our present voting sys tenn, or is going to be benefited by it.
 With regard to "the ever increased satisfaction which you say. "the good people of Hartford are feeling with this ideal voting system." my informa- ton leads mo to doubt the generality of such n feeling I am told that the enthusiasm at first felt for 1t there has considerably diminished. It Is certain that in New Jersey 30 much complaint was made that they do not provide safe method of vot- ing that last year a committee was appointed by the legislature to inves- tlgate the matter. The committee af- ter careful Inquiry recommended that fin the interest of Independent voting the party lever he abolished and the choice of each candidate be indicated by the moving of the candidate point CTS.
 The Inevitable result of such a change would be such an increased complexity and delay in voting as to tire out and disgust both the voters and those who were waiting to vote. The next result would be that after a short experience many would cease to vote at all while those who voted would generally do so only for the first few names on the ticket. leaving the rest 10 get through by such luck and chance as might befall them This Is not a matter of conjecture but of actual experience under the Australian ballot In Rhode Island and other states where that method of marking has been adopted H. T. B.
