fifty pounds. More than this is not
needed. Less than two hundred fifty
pounds pressure can produce an eff
cient spray, provided extra time and
attention be given to every part of the
tree. Even the hand pump. working
at seventy-fve pounds, can produce
perfect fruit If the nozzle is held close
enough to every twig and to every
crack and crevice. A high pressure
furnishes a sweeping spray, having
range effective for many feet, and
assures thoroughness Of application.
With a pressure Of two hundred
fifty pounds, branches five to ten feet
from the nozzle can be effectively
reached, since the spray forces it's way
through the foliage. If the pump
does not work steadily, as would be
indicated by a fluctuating pressure

REFoRMERS SMASH
! MACHINE IN
E JAP CAPITAL

Toxic, July 31.-Thc political ma
chine which for ten years has domin-
atcd municipal government in Toxic
was demolished by the refOrmers at
the recent municipal elections. So
serious was the reverse that the Or
ganization, which was known as the
Tokiwaki, and which has been called
"Tokios Tammany." has been dis
solved altogether.
The good government party re-
CARDS the overthrow of the organiza-
tion as u signal victory, and indica-
tive of the general reform movement
which is sweeping over Japan in all
branches of political life. For the
last ten years they had fought to
eliminate the Tokiwakai majority in
the municipal assembly, but each
successive attempt met with failure,
until this year they have not only
removed the Objectionable majority
but also defeated its leader, S. Mori-
kubo, in whom they saw all of the
party's corruption personified. The
charges were similar to those which
have characterized so many munich
pal upheavals In America harmful
patronage, corruption in the distri-
button OF contracts for public works
and general graft.
The success Ilrs year was due
largely to the younger clement,
which was organized into an anti
machine body. Public meetings were
held and almost every means of Bo-
litical publicity utilized to arouse
the voters of the urgency of good
government. Tile election continued
for three days, at the end of which
the reformists had captured all but
lei of the 75 seats in the assembly,
Murikubo. the oustcd leader. there
upon invited his fellow victims to a
meeting at which it was voted to dis
solve the assoc ciation.
The new organization now in pow

ment Club. They are not content
with reforming municipal politics
alone, however, and have already be-

gun vigorous campaign to establish
themselves in the National House of
representatives, where the Seiyukai,
or Conservative party Will be the OBJ
ject of it's attack. The Seiyukai has
a large majority in the Diet, and
since 1t was linked with the now de-
featcd Tokiwaki. 1t appears to be in
danger of losing its power.
The present Okuma cabinet is
backed by groups hostile to the Sci
| yukai. If unable to carry through
| his program in the face of an oppos-
F., ing majority, Count Okuma would be
likely to dissolve the Diet and give
the people an opportunity to regis
ter their will at a new election.
An interesting phase OF the suf-
fragc question was seen in the recent
municipal elections. The suffrage
is very restricted, there being three
classes of voters. classified according
to the amount of tax they pay.
Taking the city as whole about
one householder In thirteen has a
vote. Each grade of voters elects %
assemblymcn. The voters of the first
grade number only '1,1S7. The sec
ond category has 6,13G electors. The
great majority of voters, namely
i9,9iS. out of the total of 57,271,
are found in the third grade. To be
qualified for this grade the citizens
must pay land tax or else an impcr-
ial tax to the amount of yen year
| ly.
The election of the assemblymcn
of the third grade was regarded as
most closely expressing the popular
will. In every street leading to the
voting booth the candidates had cs-
tabl'she committee rooms where
there was good deal of smoking
and talking. Formerly tea and re-
|freshments were at the disposal of
tle thirsty or hungry voter but today
the government following the ideas
of the West permits only moral suas-
ion. The voter approached, the outer
office of the election hall. gave his
name and address and was supplied
with a ballot. Another official
checkcd and stamped the ballot: The
voter then passed upstairs to the vot-
ing room where his ballot was again
|suporvised. Finally he wrote the
name of his candidate and handed
over his ballot to the officials.
