NICE APPOINTS
REGISTRARS
OF VOTERS

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 20.
Preliminary work in connection
with the establishment of a per-
manent registration system for
voters in Montgomery county is
expected to get under way here
next week, following the appoint
ment of two members Of the
permanent registration board
here today by Gov. Harry w.
Nice.
John A. England, clerk to the
present board Of election super
visorS for the county, and F.
Byrne Austin, clerk to the board
under the former administration,
were the two selected by Gov
ernor Nice to fill the two posi-.
tions on the permanent board.
One From Each Party
Under terms of the legislative
measure authorizing the setting
up of this permanent system, one
member of the board was to be
selected from the Democratic
party and one from the Repub-
lican. England will represent the
latter party.
According to their commits.
sions signed by Governor Nice
and Thomas L. Dawson, secre.
tary of State, both appointments
are effective as of April /, this
year, and will expire on the last
Monday in May, 1887. Each will
receive a salary of $4,000 per
year plus automobile travelling
expenses not to exceed $500 per
year.
Although the permanent regis,
tratiCt system will not go into
effect until January /, 1888, there
is much work connected with set
ting up of the system, such as
making of index files, permanent
records, etc., and it is estimated
that about a year and a half will
be consumed in getting it into
working shape.
Register at Office
When established, a county
resident will be able to go to the
election board offices at any time
and register instead Of waiting
until a certain designated day
each year. When once registered
a county resident who votes al
least once each four years viii
remain registered for life. If they
pass up four consecutive elections
they are automatically dropped
from the rolls, it was pointed out.
The new system also will effec'
a saving of several hundreds o.
dollars annually to county tax
payers inasmuch as it will dc
away with the need of transcrib
ing books every few years, anc
with the need Of employing severa
registration officials each year.
Mr.. Austin, now employed il
the Circuit Court offices, said tc
day he and Mr.. England would il
all probability take their oath o
office next Monday and aSsum
their official duties Immediately

IN PICTURES

Sergt. Larry O'Dea, head of the
police robbery squad, who first be-
gan to pound beat in old No. 2
precinct back in '98, has begun to
assemble in his office at the police
headquarters building a collection
of pictures and mementoes of the
force which he hopes eventually
will develop into a first-class me-
mortal room display "just like they
have in New York"
There are pictures of some of
the first police commissioners, the
first patrol wagon (horse-drawn,
of course), the second patrol
wagon (still horse-drawn), the
precinct forces of IS years ago,
the present inspectors and other
police officials when they were
but foot patrolmen, a picture of
Howard Brooks, oldest living
Washington reporter, and dozens
of others.
Noting that the chassis of the
first patrol wagon is extremely
low, Larry explained that the in
ventor "a Mr.. McDermott, for the
information of old Washington
residents) purposely constructed
the vehicle in this manner 80
that if DRINKS fell over the side
they wouldn't hurt themselves"
However, the wagon apparently
proved a bit too low and several
years later 1899 another and
higher official wagon was built,
leaving the "drunks" to look out
for themselves.

SiroviCh 10 Press
Resolution for j. ).
To Annex Canada
International News Service

AHtcFHAUlOHdA news 0eEVlC0
The Sirovich resolution for an
investigation designed to lead to
Canada becoming a part of the
United States was greeted with
mixed emotions by members of
Congress today.
The author, Representative
Sirovich CD, of New York, was
enthusiastic over the plan, and
expressed a belief that it will
be favorably received in Canada.
Sirovich disclosed that he plans
to make an extensive trip in Can
ada during the summer recess of
Congress to discuss with Cana
dian officials and citizens the
proposal to create the greatest
English-speaking nation in the
world. He explained:
"The idea is the result of q
study of the history of depreS-
siOnS of the world. Just before
Congress met last winter 1 made
an extensive tour of Canada.
"A study of history shows
that depresSiOns have been ended
by the opening Of new territory.
Canada can sustain a population
of 1OO,OOO,OOO and has but TO-
100000 people.
Canada would offer a new
frontier for American unem-
plOyed and would herself gain
greatly by the aid of Americans
in developing her matchless re-
sources"

CARE IS URGED IS TO TESTIFY
F0RVAGRANTS IN JURY PLOT

BALTIMORE, Md, May 20.
The prevailing practice" of in
generating Migrants in the State
House of Correction was criticized
yesterday in the annual report
of the Prisoners Aid Association,
which suggested establishment Of
regional jails and urged commun-
ity responsibility in caring for
vagabondS.
Citing instances in which vag-
rants were sent to the House Of
Correction when they were in sore
need of immediate medical at
tention, the association, through
it's executive secretary, Howard
C. Hill, advocated jails where
work would be self-suStaining.
Little saving to relief agencies
and State offices was accomplished
by present methods, Hill stated.
If Migrants were permitted to
build roads and perform other
services while confined, present
costs of operating Maryland penal
institutions would be materially
reduced, he explained.
The Prisoners Aid Association
last year handled 1871 cases, of
which 1,544 were classified as
major active cases." Hill reported.
If the associations plan we're
adopted, Hill contended, the popu-
lation of Maryland's institutions
would be greatly reduced and
needy persons would be assisted
through community responsibility
for their welfare.

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

Editor Askov American:
Farmers as we'll as city people
should have the benefits of electri-
city. Only nine per cent of the farm
homes, however, are electrified and
many of these only under conditions
of excessive costs. This situation can
be corrected by the farmers them
selves. They can set up their own
cooperative electric light and power
associations, which will sell and even
generate current at cost, and keep the
cost down to the lowest possible point
which every farmer can afford.
The present ever-increasing senti-
ment for consumer cooperation to-
gether with the present federal work
program offers unique opportunity
for the development of rural cOopera-
tive. electric light and power associa-
tions. 1t is now possible to obtain
funds from the REA for construction
purposes; funds from the Federal
Housing Administration for wiring of
house and farm buildings; also, funds
from the Electric Home and Farm
Authority for the purchase of appli-
anceS.
Farmers in a number of favorable
spots near many municipal general
| ing plants in Minnesota ought to take
advantage of the present opportunity
for developing cooperative electric
light and power associations. Co
operation in this field has proved sue
/ ~, fru hlYf
also in Europe.
| No greater service could be rem
dered to the millions of men, women
and children Living upon the farms
and in rural communities in America
than to make the comforts, conven-
fences and advantages of electric
light and power possible for them
The problem of rural electrification
if it is to be widespread and general
is how to keep down the cost OF the
service. And the answer to that
problem is service at cost. And by
service at cost is meant that there
must be no fictitious or watered
stock, there must be no exhorbitant
tributes paid to holding companies
no money used to buy up newspapers
and magazines for propaganda pur
poses, no money spent to influence
elections or to maintain huge lob
bies in Washington, D. c., and tt
state legislatures and no unreason
ably high salaries and bonuses pait
to holding company officials. Ant
finally we want to get the whole sys
tenn down to the basis of actual cost
All of these burdens are charge
against the operating expenses of the
companies and, of course, sooner OF
later show up in the rate base an(
must be paid for by the ultimate con
sumner.

Constitution and Jurisprudence than
to France, Germany, Greece and Rome

oligarchy of Japan has derived polit-

more freedom of opinion and legisla-
