Proportional Measure Will Kequlre
Strenuous Action on tlio Part of the
i-ec-uintiiro Lawmakers llaro
Hani IYolilem to Handle All Par
tlcs Will Be UepreseiKed When the
Xcw Anicmlnient Becomes a Law.
One of th principal tasks before
the next seslon of the legislature will
be that of devising a practical sys
tem of proportions representation,
says A. W. Prescott, Salem corres
pondent of the Portland Orcgonlan.
At the recent election the people
of Oregon adopted a proportional
amendment, and, while that amend
ment dots not make It mandatory up
on the legislature to enact a law ot
that kind, It is certain that. If the
legislature dues not pass the law. It
will be presented before the voters
two years hence under the Initiative.
Such a measure will be Introduced
and will be made the basis of a big
fight, even If not enacted. The
amendment, which authorizes tlie es
tablishment of the principle, bui
office. For an office which is filled
by the election of one person, it may
bo required by law that the person
elected shall be the final choice of a
majority of the electors voting for
that office. These principles may be
applied by law to nominations by po
litical parties and organizations.
The amendment is of greatest In
terest so far as It affects the elec
tion of members of the legislature.
Proportional representation in tha
legislature contemplates that mem
bers shall be elected from districts
large enough to entitle each district
to not less than three and preferably
not less than five members. The
larger the number of representatives
from a district the more exact the
proportion of representation.
Plan of Cumulative Voting.
There are a multitude of plans for
the accomplishment of proportional
representation, many of them similar
In general principle but varying In de
tail. One plan, for Instance. Is that
of cumulative voting. This plan may
be thus Illustrated: Let It be sup
posed that In a certain district there
are five representatives to be elect
ed. Vnder the cumulative plan each
voter will be entitled to cast five
votes. He may cast one rote for each
of the five candidates, or five votes
for one candidate, or three for one
and two for another, or two and a
half for each of two candidates. Then
In a district repuhllean by a small
majority, the democrats could prac
tically assure the election of two of
their candidates by nominating only
llwo and concentrating their five
votes on tnese two. in oroer in oe
sure that the democrats would not
red. The voters east their ballots for
him with the knowledge that, if he
be not elected, their votes will go to
the person he has designated as his
beneficiary. Then if five democrats
are running for offlee In a district
from which five are to be elected,
they may make other transferees. If
none at them has enough votes to
elect him, the votes of the lowest will
be uddeil to the votes of the highest
until all the Ineffective votes have
been disposed of. In that manner
one or two of the democratic candi
dates would get enough votes to elect.
The republican candidates could do
the same thing, and, If one of the
republican candidates should have a
vote s small as to shut him out his
Ineffective votes would be added to
those above him. If one of the suc
cessful candidates should have more
votes than needed, the surplus would
be added to those below him. Thus
no votes would be wasted In any par
ty, If the total vote of all candidates
of the party should be enough to elect
one of the candidates. The advan
age of that system Is that voting Is
conducted In the present manner and
ascertaining the result becomes mere
ly a matter of computation.

loaves the details to be worked out
by the legislature, reads as follows: j lr, t ,no nrco a representation the re
Tel of Amendment. j publicans would probably find it ad-
Sect on 16. In all elections au
thorized by this constitution until
otherwise provided by law, the per
son or persons receiving the highest
number of votes shall be declared
elected, but provision may be made
by law for elections by equal propor
vlsable to nominate only three or
four candidates, upon whom to con
centrate their votes.
Another Plan or Division.
Another plan suggested Is that
which retains the present method of
voting but guarantes each party Its
tlonal representation of all the vo-1 proportion of representation by de
ters for every office which Is filled
by the election of two or more per
sons wrrose official duties, rights and
powers are equal and concurrent.
Everv ouallfled eletor resident In his
termlnlng the method of ascertaining
the result of the vote. Tor Instance,
the law under this plan will declare
that each party shall be entitled to
representation according to the num-
precinct and registered as may be re-1 ber of votes cast for Its candidates
quired by law may vote for One per-! if five representatives are to be elect
son under the title for each office, j rj pi n district, the total vote for all
Provision may bo made by law fori parties will be divided by the number
the voter's direct or Indirect expres-0f representatives, which will give
slnn of his first, serond or additional the quota of votes which entitle n
choices among the candidates for any I party to n sent In the legislature.
Then If there be 5000 voters In the
district, with five representatives to
elect, a party will be entitled to a
representative for each 1000 votes
cast for Its candidates. If the repub
lican candidates have received 3000
votes and the democratic candidates
2000, the democrats will be entitled
to two seats, even though their high
est two candidates have received a
smaller vote than the lowest two re
publicans. In that case, the success
ful candidates would be the three
highest republicans and the two high
est democrats. 'The effect to be given
to a fraction of a quota Is a problem
j dlflcult to work out satisfactorily.
Might Transfer Votes.
Still another plan of securing pro
portional representation is that of
permitting a candidate to transfer his
votes, If he has not enough to elect
himself. When he declares his can
didacy, he may declare to whom he
wishes his Ineffective votes transfer-
