Compulsory Toting
The following resolution, practically
deputing for compulsory, voting was
adopted by a Dominion election com-
mittee on Tuesday.
Any person 'who does not vote at an
election if he is 'qualified to vote shall
be disqualified from voting„ at any
similar election for a, term of •six years.
No person, however, shall be so dis-
qualified if he has been prevented from
voting by illness or by any .ether good
and sufficient reason.
Any person, who, while disqualified
under the presence of this section,
votes or attempts to vote in any elec.
time shall be liable to a fine of not less
than $50 and costs, and not more than
$100. and costs •'or in default of pay-
ment of such fine Sand costs to im-
prisonment for any terns. not exceed-
ing three ninths, and not less than
one month, which may he with or
without hard labor.
A resolution was passed providing
that •anyone •who demanded or re-
ceived money from candidates or any-
one on behalf of candidate forthe use
of horses •or vehicles or anything else
for elections is liable to a fine of $100.
The reran who hires is at present liable
anti now the man who is hired to drive
etc., is included.
It should be remernbered that these
resolutions are simply a report from a
committee ; they may be rejected by
the House.
We have never regarded compulsory
voting as feasible. Perhaps it is. It
has always seemed to us that in
practice it could not be satisfactorily
worked. The very fact that provision.
is made in the above resolution for.
those who are prevented from voting
by illness or any other, good and
saticient• reason, at once opens the
door to abuses. ..
Those who have gone through elec-
tion campaigns; know by experience
what easy consciences some people
have who pretend they `clon't intend
exteto'te, or do not vantto..
a• -No obstacles should.• be thrown in
the way of making, electionsas honest'
as possible, anti it would'•be a great
advantage if every one would'volute
tarily poll their vote, but heretofore a
certain percentage of the electorate
has had to be, looked after, and we
are afraid it will remain so to the end
of the chapter.

The growth of Canada's trade is'
shown In the fact that for the last ten
'months it has increased $09,000,000

over $485,000,000. This is nearly twice
as tnuch as .it vas when the Liberals
took office.

Let me illustrate: Suppose East Wa-

Turnberry for 80 per cent, and Col-
borne for 75 per cent, which may easi-
ly oceair, as assessors are liable to have
different ideas as to what is right.
A section in East Wawanosh might
be assessed for $160;000 Which would
call'for a minimumsalary. of $500 ; the
