The People Don t Rule-and Why

One of the silliest of our many
illusions is the idea that "the PEG.

Gently referred to the fact that
with a voting strength of nearly
or quite 100000, Florida has re-
Gently enacted drastic laws and
Il decided vital questions on the

Union.
There you have it. The people
don't rule, because they do not
vote. And why do they not vote?
For two reasons only: first and
chief, pure Indifference; second,
because many of them wish to e.
wade jury duty.
The remedy to apply is COM
pulsory voting. Take a census of
every person who is of voting
age; give the managers of cleo
ton of every precinct list of
those of voting age living in the
precinct; let the managers check
off the names of those who do not
vote and report them to the coun-
ty judge and make it mandatory
upon the county judge to order
the arrest of every one who refus-
ed or failed to vote and fine him
$4,000 or sixty days in Jail. A
triding fine of So won t do. Make
the punishment severe enough to
get results.
There has never been an cleo
ton in Florida in which as many
as 10000 votes were cast. We
think the largest vote ever polled

acre are fully 125,000 men of
voting age living in the state. The
total population is over 100000.
At-the ration of one man of voting
age in every five of population,
which is generally accepted as a
correct basis of computation, we
should have 10000 men of vot-
age in Florida. We feel sure
there are over 125,000. Not half
of these vote; and of the possible
half that do vote, a small MAORI
ty fills the public offices and the
legislature with incompetent, not
to say dishonest men. Thus, a.
bout 10000 of the $4,000 men
who are entitled to vote rule the
state and "play the devil" with |
its interests and reputation.
1t is, perhaps, for this reason
that criminals go unwhipped of |
justice and the courts are brought
into disrepute.

cause, in most instances, they are
not advised in advance as to the
character of the picture; and then
don't think. The f-S

them advised in advance and
cause them to think.
