RATE LITIGATION HALTS
SALE OF RAILROAD BONDS

NEW YORK, June 5.-The obtaining
by the attorney general of an injunc-
tion against the proposed increase in
western trunk line freight rates last
week had the effect of throwing the
stock market into CONSERVATION.
Speculation in stocks has been based
on expected benefits of rate advances
ever since notice of the intended in
creases were first filed with the inter-
state commerce commission in April.
1t is claimed also that the sales of
railroad bonds abroad were due to the
prospect of these higher freight rates
and that other sales will be prevented.
Rumors of cancellation of orders for
railroad equipment and of laying off
of railroad employees show the direc-
tion in which other disadvantages were
expected, while the approach of the
harvest centered attention on the
money situation and pointed to the
necessity of credit contraction to pre-
pare for the coming demands to move
the crops.
Liquidation, not only in stocks, but
in grain and cotton, was prompted by
these prospective requirements as
much as by apprehension of fall in
intrinsic values.

FISH DEALER SAYS HE
LET NO MONEY GET PAST
Makes Statement to Prosecuting
Attorney of Illinois Jack
pot Cases

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 5.-The
fish bill end Of the legislative inquiry
with its attendant story of the diver
sion of most of the fund contributed
to defeat the bill before it reached the
so-called Jackpot" occupied the at
tention of States Attorney Burke to-
day, and is to be considered by the
grand jury tomorrow.
In a statement to Mr.. Burke at
BeardstoWn, Frank j. Traut of the
BeardstoWn Fish company said the
money never went further than him.
The grand jury, before which Traut is
summoned to appear tomorrow, will
ask him to repeat the statement that
he. kept the money.
1t has been the theory of the prose-
cution that the money was really given
to legislator, and the statement Of
Traut that he kept the money himself
together with his explanation that ut
was used for Legitimate purposes con-
nected with the lobby against the bill"
is directly opposed to that theory.
"Mr. Burke today interviewed a num-
ber of persons in BeardstoWn and a

that one of them, TOO, had been a con-
tributor TO the Fish bill fund" etc

FRENCH WATCHING
BELGIAN VOTING
Proportional Representation Sys-
tenn Has Trial in Election
of Deputies
GLASSES HAVE PLURAL VOTES
AntWerp's Thirteen Representa-
tiveS Now Divided Between
Three of the Parties
GLASSES HAVE PLURAL VOTES
Associated Press1

PARIS. June 5.-In France, where
electorate reform is now the issue of
the hour, the recent elections in Bel
gium were watched with special inter-
est because their representation pro-
portionelle" is in full operation.
Proportional representation is an
elaborately worked out system to give
all political parties representation, ac-
cording to the number of votes polled.
In other words, the abandonment of
the absolute domination of majority
rule now in effect in France and most
other continental countries.
In France especially the existing
system of electing members to the
chamber of deputies in whose hands
the political power of the state is con-
centrated is severely criticised, not
only on the grounds that majorities
in small local districts make local
considerations outweigh the national
interests, but on the broader ground
that the minorities. oftentimes only a
few votes behind the majorities, have
no representation at all.
The remedy proposed is for larger
districts, electing from eight to fifteen
deputies upon a general platform. with
proportional representation for minori-
ties when they are of sufficient size
to cast votes of respectable dimensions.
The electoral experts sent to Bel
GUM generally commend the system
there, but take exception to the plural
voting enjoyed by larger tax payers
and persons with advanced educational
attainments
A sample of how the system works
liz Belgium, disregarding the question
of plural voting, can be gathered from
the results at Antwerp, where thirteen
seats were to be filled. The Catholic
ticket polled S2,S7S votes, the Liberals
65,541 and the Socialists 1922. Under
the system of majority rule, the Catho-
lies would have captured the entire
thirteen seats. Under the proportional
representation system each of the total
votes received by a ticket was divided
by !, ., 3, 4 up TO 13, and the quotients
of these divisions became in the order
of numerical precedence, the order of
dividing the seats between the parties
In this particular case it resulted in
giving the first seat to the first Catho-
lie, the second to a Liberal, the third
to a Catholic, fourth Liberal; Fifth
Catholic; sixth, Liberal; seventh,
Catholic; eighth, LIBERAL ninth So
calist: tenth, Catholic; eleventh,
Catholic; twelfth, Liberal, and thir-
teenth Catholic.
In other words, the Catholics on their
total vote secured seven seats, the
Liberals five and the Socialists one,
which works out almost mathematl-
cally according to the proportion of
the votes cast.

NARROW TRACK FOR
AN AUTO Journey

Ashley Tribune: Dude" Collins
took a couple of travelling men to
Leola, Tuesday. He made the return
trip with f. r. Clyde, accompanying
him, in an hour and thirty-nine min
utes. This run was made against a
STIFF cold wind. Some time was lost
by taking the wrong road in one
place. 1t was necessary to slow up on
account of teams at times and one
stop was made on that account. The
car was stopped on two other occa-
sions, not of necessity. but for the pur.
pose OF making certain that the ma
chine was a good shape. The distance
as shown by the speedometer, was
thirty-three and eight-tenths miles.
Not more than four miles of the en-
tire run was along a section line or
any road that is given any repairs or
improvements. In fact, the greater part
of the road is along the narrow top
Of the old Aberdeen, Bismarck and
Northwestern grade, where only a very
short, false turn Of the steering wheel
would send an auto against bank
or into a ditch. The Writed does not
