Publishers, Nov. 5, 193.2, News 1 many ,as not :remunerative; neverthe less, the fact reni'ains that the swine in'dus'try gave as :good returns as any class o:f 'livestock that came off Ont- ario fa'rmers and, over a period' a years, has proven one o'f .the most pro- •fitab'le products, In view of these facts, 0intario can have absollute 'faith in the soundness of a program to produce quality hogs. Tlie extreme laws to w'hi'ch hog prices descended is clue to the con- cen'tration on the British market of great quantities of bacon from foreign countries thlat`pre.vious'ly had found a ,m'arket in other countries, and to an increase in production in: European countries. ' Germany with 23,000,000 hogs, Poland with 6;000,000 hogs, Den - ,mark with 5,000;000 hogs and ,Central Europe with 20,000,000 hogs, all with- in easy reach of the ,British market,; shipped their surplus to England, while Canada had only 4;000,000 hogs .for ':home consumption. and to ship to Eaug'land. This 'condition has made hog production in the ,United Kingdom un- prolfitable as well as in the British D'o- m'inions supplying the ,British market. At the Imperial Economic 'Con'fer- ence in Ottawa, the United Kingdom announced a plan wh;ic'h she hopes will restore conditions that should make hog production :more 'favourable for 'home producers and at the same time, will .give Canada free entry to ter market. The !plan is to limit the amount of bacon imported' into the United IKtingdom so as not to permit such excessive quantities of ,bacoin be- n'g sent forward to that Market as to result in very ,low ,prices. .The bulk of Canada's bacon pro- ducts of export quality has, in the. past, come from 'Ontario, therefore: 'the stabilization of the British mar- ket under the plan ann'oun'ced by the IBeitis:h Government is Of ,the utmost m'partance to the bog raisers of Ont- ario. The country that produces the .at a- ity of bacon which sells at the high- est price, and at 'the lowest cost of production, will win winder any condi- tions. !Ontario farmers :should win, and to win we must pay close attention 'to every detail of the :process of produc- tion and marketing. ,We must improve the quality of the hogs, 'feed them in- telligently, preven't parasites and di- sease. The hogs must arrive _ at the packing plants without heavy loss from bruising and ,must be transport- ed as cheaply as possible. The packers m'us't then, in the :process of .m'anufac- ttire, maintain and develop the good qualities of the 'bacon, 'process, it at the 'lo'w'esit possible cost and market it intel'ligen'tly so as to realize the best price for (the bacon, lin the past we have alt made mis- takes by not working unitedly togeth- er to the'one common end. Let us ,now unite to capture our share of the world's great bacon market. THE AMERICAN SYSYTEM TS AINTI'PUATED. So it is necessary to depend upas history books and private investiga- tion to leans that even 40,000,000 peo- ple went to !the polls on November '8, the election of the president of the United States will not take place, un- der constitutional technicalities, un'tiil. the second 'Wednesday of next Febru- ary. 'Many voters did not 'find the ,of either Hoover or :Roosevelt on 'their ballots, but only the names of "pres- idential 'electors." The citizens of that vast democracy, with its government "of, for and by the people," do not even elect their own president. .Ail they do is p.icic members of the "elec- toral college," and there "collegians,'' many of them greybeards, get around to their chore of electing a chief exe- cutive something mare than three months after they have ibeen named for the jab. 'The one thing certain about the 'American :political system ns that it employs the mese antiquate electoral method that is now operated any place on earth. The plan was worked out back in 11787 and revised .in some measure during the years -1803 and It represented something approaoh ing• the itleal ,of dttin'ocra'cy, back in those days, but 'coonies closer to 'be- ing a .pain in the neck, in this year of grace, ,19132. Each state has as many voters in the electoral college as it has in the 'House and. Senate, of 'Congress. There are 141315 'Abuse seats and 96 in the Sen'a'te, so that makes 5131 1egiaais." Pres idenitia'1 electors' for each party are selected by 'either state conventions or committees and they are disiquali!fied from 'serving if they hold any federal office, '-Nether elective er appointive, The electors Who are ,chosen to se.rvc at the November election meet in their own states on the second Wednesday of the January following the notion'al'vote, and cast their bal- lots for '.a presidential 'candidate, Their returns are Forwarded to Wash- ington where the 'actual election of a president tales i' place on the second 'Wedinesday in •February, at joint sess'i'on' of the House and Senate. t'Phits connplicated system was work- ed out to meet ;the needs of a:: r'a'y When there was no railway, telegraph, telephone or radio service. Because of, the_lack of speedy communication system, no public figures were ,knowln throughout The whole at the newly - created United !Sta't'es, so repres'eitita- riyes of all s'tates met to decide upon a suitable president. The whole scheme was devised to provide for an ind'irect vote, to sep- arate the election off a president from the election of members in the legis- lative sbranch of the governrnnt, and to keep the .choice of a president out of party polit'ics. The founding fath- ers who drafted the plan would' get considerable of a shock if they could see the current use of their prize in- vention in thele frantically modern United' .States, Members of the electoral college are now mere figureheads, acting for party amortizations, exercising. ,no freedom of choice, committed' to cer- tain candidates, and are not .even rep- resentative of the ,popular vote .01 the people, iNevada has one electoral vote for each 20,000 of its .people, while New York casts a ballot for each 267,000 pe'opte, That is 'because each state brats two senators, regardless .its popula- tion, and a corresponding :number of electoral votes. Nevada ,divides its,two votes so received among 91,000 peo- ple and New Yurek among 32)500,000. Votes given .on the basis of stremg+bh in the House of Representatives are apportioned according to population. The system under which electoral votes are distnibuted is so unfair in some particulars, nthat it is easily pos- sible for a pres'iden'tial candidate to receive a l'a'rge majority' of the point lar votes cast in. the No'vem'ber elec- tion and still be ,overwhelmingly de- feated far odfIce. 'Th'e last time this happened was in 1888, when Grover Cleveland ,had a popular lead of al- most 100,000 votes bat was defeated in the electoral college by 15 ,votes, giving the election to Benjamin Har- risen. arrison. There is no reason why the same 'thing 'Should. not happen in any year. The classic example in modern time of complications whieh can de- velop in connection wit'' rae-ations of the electoral college system was provided in iiR16, when Woodrow Wilson was elected president with a margin of ltl &cetera! vete over Charles Evans, his Ripe:el:c.tn op- ponent, who is naw chief just'cz of the . Supreme Court of the United States • A switch of less than 2,000 votes in California would have carried the state for !Hughes and given him' 33 ,electoral votes, one more than he would have needed to be elected. Even if there had been such a change in !California, Wilson, although 'beat- en, would s'tttl have had a palmier vote majority of more than half a million ballots, for the nation as a whole. 'This election incidentally, was the ,first one in 'history in which a candidate was elected without carry- ing New York State. 'The election of 3928 again showed bow completely this electoral' col- lege system can fail to record the wishes of the people. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic nominee, polied more than 40 per cent of all the ;votes cast im the November election, yet he re- ceived only 16 per cent of the votes in the electoral college. In the seven elections 'held aver the past 28 years, the !Democrats hare had an average of more than 40 per cent of the popular vote, only 35 per cant of the electoral vote and scared but 28 per cent of the vic- tories.11n general, thedistri'bution of votes in the electoral college 'has a tendency to favor the cause of the Repub ilc'au's, The absurdities of the electoral col- lege would also 'help explain Why few foreigners un'deastand U. S. politics, and why few people in the country do- either, A man was in a nearby city restau- rant the other day. He •was studying• the menti as the waitress approached to take his order.
