AsoLlsnlkG PLURAL VOTING.

The abolition NJ plural voting IN
Great Britain under the slogan Of one
man one vote" has taken It's place
among those measures which the lib
eral government means To force
through despite the opposition of the
House of Lords. IL has passed the

Tor, opposition is natural enough.
since there are 525,OOO plural voters In
Great britain and every one OF them
is a conservative. Under the present
arrangement a British citizen may
vote in every constituency in which
he owns properly. This is relic of
the theory that ownership of property
is tho basis If suffrage And as the
British constituencies have the habit
Of voting on different days, il is easily
possible FOR man to east his vote
many times So long as his property
holdings permit The injustice Of this
practice is apparent, yet such is the
conservatism Of English opinion that

lost interest in such things.
The refusal of the European coun-

probably Of Germany, TO take part in

easily be- explained in several ways,
