FINED THEM FOR NOT VOTING
Austria Made $4,000 Men Pay for
Staying Away From Polls at
/ Last General Election.

In some countries voting is compul-
sorry, and electors are fined If they do
not do their duty as citizens and avail
themselves of the franchise.
According to the universal suffrage
law of Austria all those on the regis.
ter must record their votes, and at the
last general election In that country
10000 electors were fined sums from
two dollars downward because they
neglected to go to the poll.
Spain is another country that looks
on voting as national duty, at least
In the municipal election. Should a
citizen omit to cast his ballot his
name is published as a defaulter, his
taxes are increased by two per cent,
while If he be in the public service,
his salary is reduced by one per cent.
Should he commit the fault a second
time he is debarred forever from hold
Ing an elective position or an appoint
ment under government.
A few years ago bill to the same
effect was brought before the parlia-
ment Of Victoria. All defaulters were
to be fined $3.50 unless they showed
they were i'll at the time, were blind,
over sixty-fve years of age, or were
unavoidably absent
A similar idea was mooted in Can.

Primitive Bookkeeping.

There is an old merchant in thirty.
Ing little town near Minneapolis who
scorns paper ledger, and insists on
keeping pine board account with his
customers. He planes this board off
every five months and starts a new
account The other day man came
into the old merchants store to pay a
balance of 40 cents. Il guess you don't
owe me anything" replied the old
trader to question about the debt.
The customer protested that he did
owe the debt; in fact, he remembered
buying the goods some six months
ago. "Oh, we'll, five months alters the
case" said the weigher of sugar and
coffee. You may owe me 40 cents,
for all know. You see I've up and
started a new board since you got
your goods, and l don't remember
your debt. You may pay me if you
want to, but. if you don't. it's all o.
X, as I've shaved your account out"
The trader got his 40 cents.
