Wrong Organic alton.

That these bodies have not proved
adequate to reflect the attitude OF the
people is Indicated by the social and
political uneasiness mentioned above.
And the reason that they have not
proved adequate may be traced to
the method OF their organization.
Take. for instance. the Oregon leg
islatnre OF 1905. The lower house
Consists OF sixty REPRESENTATIVES. In
the election OF June, 1905. The Re-
puoIieans cast approximately $4,000
votes, the Democrats 10000. the So
cialists 1000 and the Prohibitionists
5000. II the ideas OF the people had
been actually represented in the lee
islatnre as 4 result of that vote each
party would have sent represent
atises to the legislature. and the
members OF the house would have
numbered ~ Republicans. 10. Dem
ocrats, ! Socialists and 3 Prohibition
lists. Yet under the present system
Of selecting representatives the Re
publicans sent fiftv-ninc members IA

Remedies Offered.

In order. to avoid this unfairness in
representation, a system OF propor-
tional representation has been de.
rised which provides that each party
shall be represented in the ratio of its
proportion to the entire electorate
Under this method, in state which
casts, say, 10000 votes for 1--WE repre.
SentatiVeE. one fifth of that numher
OF votes. or 10000, would be sufficient
10 elect one representative. Thu.
every candidate who obtains IL, 900
votes Is sure OF election. and every
party Is entitled TO one represent
alive for each 10000 votes In this
way party having three fifths Of
all the votes would be entitled to
three representatives. instead of to
all five. as under the present system.
This plan. with more or less aim Die
modification. has been ia Use for
some years in Japan, Switzerland.
Belgium. Denmark. Tasmania and
Finland. The success OF the plan In
these countries has been the CAUSE
OF campaigns for the adoption OF =
similar method in Sweden, France,
England. Australia and the United
States.
The City OF Ashtabula, Ohio. il
working out an adaptation OF this
idea In municipal affairs, and is
meeting with success.
II IS easily seen that with such
a system as this. giving the the PEG
pie fair opportunity to express their
desires, our legislative bodies would
hit upon an average OF legislation
which would reflect much moro &C.
curately the public attitude with re-
gard to public policies. And In pro-
portion to the accuracy with which
legislation responds to the wishes OF
