U. S. AT TAIL N
OF VOTING RECORD

The United States no longer holds
the worlds voting record. About
forty years ago eighty per cent OF
the citizens went to the polls and
voted. This percentage gave us the
lead. In 1920 and 1924 only about
fifty per cent of the American voters
exercised the right of franchise. Con-
sequently the United States Topped
down to the tail in the list OF voting
nations. In the 1924 election in the
House Of Commons in Great Britain
seventy-six per CEN OF the electorate
exercised the right to vote. the right
for which we fought Great Britain
in 1916.
In the first election under the insti-
tuition of the German Republic seven
ty-five per cent of all Germans. TWEEN
ty years of age and over, voted, and
in 1924 the percentage reached a
total of eighty per cent and in the re-
cent presidential election in April Of
this year the percentage reached a
total OF e~ighty-two per cent.
The Australian average for twenty
years show that about seventy five
per cent of the electorate vote; while
New leland ran eighty per cent. In
the recent elections of 1s23-24 New
zealand and Queensland produced a
record OF nearly eighty-four per cent.
Denmark. Belgium and Holland
ranged from sixty to n~inety-two per-
cent. according to the election. their

Local Government
Is Threatened by
Federal Butt-ins

1.-THE root of our national char
acter, OF our national initiative, of
our national power to produce multi
tudes of people capable of meeting
and conquering all political emergen-
cies, lies and has always lain in To-
cal self-government," says William
Hard in McNaugh's Monthly.
Our ancestors in our colonial days
beat out their French rivals in the
subduing and in the peopling of the
American wilderness largely because
the French we're governed rigidly
from Paris while the English were
governed loosely from London and
were able in most matters to accomp-
fish a high degree OF governing of
themselves in their county meetings
and in their town meetings.
Foreign observer after foreign. OBJ
server saw truly in the New Eng
land town meeting the nursery Of a
race of irresistible freemen.
Those freemen-to mention a
small but thoroughly illustrative mat
ter-were obliged to concert their
own measures against attacks by
wolves. Today what do our freemen
in multitudinous cases do when they
see a wolf? They send in a petition
to the bureau of biological survey in
the department Of agriculture which
every year now is spending almost
half a million dollars on hunting
wolves and coyotes and lynxes and
bobcats and prairie dogs and ground
squirrels and other similar fearsome
beasts on behalf Of our free and
energetic electorate.
Animals which q Puritan colonial
farmer would have had dispatched
by his thirteen-year-old boy are now
slain for Is by federal scientists.
ut is expensive but that is not
the main point. The main point is
that in the end 1t is bound to sap
local self-government and to shrivel
the root out of which our whole ca
pacity to govern springs"
