SAVING TINE OF CONGRESS
Mechanical Voting System for That
Body Would Seem to Be Most
Urgent Need.

For nearly a century, inventors,
spurred on by the deplorable roll
call system in use, have devised IN
s!ruments Of one sort or another to
enable congress to register its vote
in a few minutes instead of in the
forty to forty-fve minutes which are
consumed by the roll call, explains
Popular Science Monthly. In each
case it has been col clusively proved
that a mechanical system of voting
would not only greatly economic
time, but would also effect large
saving in money. And yet there is
no mechanical voting system in USE
If there was it would kill filibuster-
ing on votes.
During a long session of congress
a mathematician figured that Sc
days had been consumed in roll calls
alone. A voting machine, which is
now being considered, has taken
10000 roll calls. 1t would give con-
gress 200 years. work to call the roll
that many times. The inventor, Bor-
nett L. Bobroff of Milwaukee, Wis,
has installed his system in the state
legislature of Wisconsin, and it is
giving excellent service there. In
single session of congress he says he
can lop off 80 days work by calling
the roll with his machine.
Each member votes by pressing {
button on the desk in front of him
He and everybody else can see how
he voted, as his vote duplicates itsel
on a large board within the view o
all. The board also totals the vot
automatically, in the event that
member wishes to change his vote h
merely presses another button pro
vided for that purpose and the tota
of "yeas" and "nays" is accordingl
corrected on the board.
