HOMESEEKERS RUSH TO
NORTH PACIFIC STATES
Thousands of Citizens Return
From Canada

WASHINGTON, June 5.-An unusu-
ally heavy movement OF home seekers
this spring into various parts of the
arid west is indicated by reports that
have come to the reclamation service.
Trainloads of settlers have been pour
ing into Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington and large numbers have been
seeking the milder climate Of the south
west
A cheering feature in connection with
the movement is said to be the return
of thousands of American CITIZENS from
Canada, offsetting in measure the ex-
odus of others across into the dominion.
This has grown to considerable proper
tions.
In the fiscal year 1909 the departures
to Canada from United States points ag-
gregated 72,349 persons, of whom 41,S71
were citizens. It is estimated that $4,000
of the latter returned. For the nine
months ending March 81 46,20o Ameri-
cans went to Canada.
Extensive railroad building is now in
progress in Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon. The estimate has been
made that an area of 100000 acres of
land in Oregon alone soon will be
available for settlement.

WATCHES
BELGIUM ELECTIONS
European Republic May Adopt
System of Party Representa-
ton by Proportion
Does Away With Absolute DOM
nance of Majority; Gives
Minorities Some Power

PARIS. June SIN 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." or r. P, as it is Familiarity
called here. is in full operation.
r. P. is an elaborately worked out
system to give all political parties rep
resentation according to the number
of votes polled. In other words. the
abandonment of the absolute domina-
tion of majority rule now in vogue
in France and most other continental
countries.
FRENCH SYSTEM CRITICIZED
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 criticized, not
only on the grounds that majOrities in
small local districts make local con-
siderations outweigh the national inter-
ests, but on the broader ground that
the minorities, Oftentimes only few
votes behind the majorities, have no
representation at all.
The remedy proposed is for larger
districts, electing from to Is depu-
ties upon a general platform, with pro-
poruonal representation for the min
critics when they are of sufficient size
to cast votes of respectable dimensions.
The electoral experts sent to Belgium
generally commend the system there,
but take exceptions to the plural voting
enjoyed by large tax payers and persons
with advanced educational attainments.
EXAMPLE OF METHOD
A sample of how the system works in
Belgium, disregarding the question of
plural voting, can be gathered from
the results at Antwerp, where 13 seats
were to be filed. The Catholic ticket
and the socialists 1922. Under the
system of majority rule the Catholics
would have captured the entire 13 seats
Under the r. P. system each of the total
votes received by a ticket was divided
by l, 2 8 and up to 15, and the quo
tients of these divisions became in the
order of numerical precedence the order
of dividing the seats between the par
ties.
In this particular case it resulted in
giving the first seat to the first Catho-
lie, the second to liberal, the third TO
a Catholic. fourth liberal, fifth Catho-
lie, sixth liberal seventh Catholic.
eighth liberal ninth socialist, tenth
Catholic, eleventh Catholic, twelfth lib
eral and thirteenth Catholic.
In other words the Catholics upon
their total vote secured seven seats. the
liberals five and the socialists one,
which works out almost mathematical
ly according to the proportion of the
votes cast
