NEW LAWS IN THE
CHAMBEROF DEPUTIES

PARIS, June Correspondence
of The Associated -Represen.
tation of minorities is assured under
the new Electoral Reform Law passed
by the French Parliament, which will
probably bring about considerable
change in the strength of parties in
the Chamber of Deputies. The most
recent enactment almost abolished en-
tirely the old system of choosing mem.
bers, which provided for a second bal.
lot in case candidates did not poll an
absolute majority of the votes in their
constituency
An example of what occurred under
the old system during the election
OF 1885 in the department of the Var
where the present Premier Clemen-
ceau was one of the candidates will
serve to show how the returns will
be affected by the present scheme.

FOR ALL ENGLAND

LONDON, June IL -- Correspond
ence OF The Associated Press) Eng.
land Is preparing to provide herself
with cheap and abundant electricity
for heating, lighting and manufactur.
ing purposes at an initial cost Of an.
proximately $1O0,O00,OOO The bill to
accomplish that result has been in.
troduced in Parliament by the Home
Secretary and with the endorsement
of the government as well as of peo.
pie of all classes, 1t is expected to
become a law in the very near future.
The plan for placing the country on
an electrical basis provides for its di.
vision into districts, each district to
be in charge of commission. This
body, whose members are to hold of.
flee at the pleasure of the King. will
be empowered to acquire generating
plants and transmission lines already
built and to build such plants and
lines as 1t may deem necessary. The
commissioners are to conduct expert
ments for the purpose OF improving
methods of supply for which purpose
they will be empowered to call to
their assistance an advisory commit
tee of unquestioned experts.
1t is not the purpose of the govern
ment to build all the electrical appar-
atus in the country but private cor.
porations entering the field must OBJ.
tain the consent of the government
and abide by it's regulations.
Water power will be extensively US.
ed in generating electricity to reduce
the cost and to stimulate it's use for
manufacturing and domestic purposes.
1t is also said that within reason.
able time every railroad in the coun-
try will be electrified.

EVEN HORSE MEAT IS HIGH
.'l.- IN EVERY PART Of RUSSIA

OMSK, Siberia, April II, via Vladi-
vost6k, May correspondence of
The Associated Press) Horse meat
sold at thirty rubles a pound, dog
meat at twelve rubles, rye flour at
twenty-five rubles and potatoes at sev.
en- rubles q pound in Moscow last
February, according to an American.
Mr.. Dillon, who has Just arrived here
from that city. Mr.. Dillon who repre-.
sented a large farm machinery firm,
left Moscow February Q and arrived
at Omsk after many difficulties on
April 2.
A box Of matches, if obtainable at
all, cost fifteen rubles in Moscow, he
said. A ruble before the war was
normally worth fifty cents. It's value
now is problematical owing to the
vast amount of paper money which
has been printed by the Bolshevik gov.
ernment.
Bolshevik workmen in Moscow who
can find employment receive $50 to
1900 rubles a month and, Mr. Dillon
said, are barely able to live through
receiving special concessions in food
stun prices in Bolshevik stores. Non.
Bolsheviki, who cannot buy in such
stores at any price are in desperate
straits. There have been many cases
OF starvation and many suicides. There
is much sickness, resulting from NAL
nutrition and unsanitary conditions.
Chambers is common and results from
eating infected horse meat.
The city was full of unemployed
workmen when Mr. Dillon left There
were $4,000 idle metal workers and a
great number of idle textile workers.

The Var department returns four
members to the Chamber of IDENTITIES
me Conservatives, the Opportunists.
the Radicals and the Socialists each
put up four candidates. At the first
ballot no candidate polled an abso.
lutte majority of the 53,79S votes cast
10 40 which poll of 2G,S9O votes
would have been necessary. The Con.
servative candidates obtained an ay.
erage OF 1888 votes each; the Oppor.
tunlsts lO,954; the Radicals 24,323 and
the Socialists 207. At the second bal.
lot the Radical list was elected in
It's entirety with majority for each
candidate, the parties which polled
the smallest totals having dropped
out.
Under the new scheme the election
would nave resulted differently. AS
no candidate received an absolute ma.
Jority of votes, 2G,9OO, the following
procedure would have been adonted.
Ihe total number of voters who mol.
led, 53,79S, would have been divided
by four-the number of seats tn be
hiled. This would have given the
quotient of 13,449. To allot the seats
under the new law, the average vote
Oh each party is divided by the ouo.
tient OF the number of voters (53,7s9)
divided by the number of candidates
'4) which equals 13,449. For each
time this quotient Q3,449) is contain.
ed IN the average vote seat is allo.
Gated. Thus the Conservatives with
an average of 1888 get one seat and
the Radicals with an average of "a.
oz3 also get one. The remaining two
seats, according to the text of tbo
new enactment go 80 to the candidates
OF the party which polled the great.
est average Of votes and thus the Rad.
1cals obtain them.
AS to the candidates obtaining tho
seats those who polled the highest
humDer or votes on the lists of the
successful parties are chosen as rem.
resentatives.
IL VIII be seen from this examnle
that the Radicals of Var would have
obtained only three seats, under the
law instead OF getting the whole four.

age of Grewood.
Moscow, according to Mr. Dillon,
was half deserted. All signboards of
formerly prosperous business houses
had been removed after the places had
been Mathematical" Drunkenness
was prohibited under penalty of death.
There was an endless Bolshevik
propaganda and proselyting was car
ried on feverishly among returning
Russian war prisoners from Germany.
Strikes in other countries we're hailed
with delight and a worldwide revolu.
tion was represented as being in pro.
gress.
Instructions among workmen were
on the increase. The peasants were
desperate over the merciless reauisi.
tioning of their property. Forty per-
cent of the winter crop remained un.
planted for lack of horses and seed.
The annual partition of land among
the peasants did not occur and little
preparation was made for spring plant
ing. Railroads were without fuel ex.
cept such supplies as were brought
from day to day green from the for
esfs. All reserve supplies had been
exhausted.
Church services were being sun.
pressed. Factories had closed owing
to lack of fuel. This was true even of
munitions and arms factories and
there was noticeable shortage of
rifles and ammunition. Discipline in
the army was maintained by terror
lstic methods but even so, mutinies
constantly occurred and deseS. ions
were frequent.
In the opinion of the narrator, all
that was necessary to cause the ear
ly collapse of Bolshevism was a Wig.
orous offensive by the Siberian army.
