DR. M. G. P0HL RESIGNS
AS COOS FRUIT INSPECTOR
Kef list'!, to Remain In Position Owing
to ltccent Changes In tlio
Herniations.
Dr. M. G. Polil has resigned as
fruit Inspector for Coos county. Ho
lias forwarded his resignation to tlio
Oregon Stato Board of Agriculturo
and it is expected that his successor
will be named shortly.
Mr. Pohl, in a statement concern
ing his resignation says:
"Hnving been appointed fruit in
spector for Coos county, 1 endeavor
ed to serve the people properly and
to enforce tho laws strictly. Re
cently changes have been niado in
the regulations which make tho fruit
inspector a figure-head and I will not
romnin in that capacity. I sincerely
hope that the fruit inspection will be
made a success as It means a great
deal to the honest, conscientious
fruit grower and farmer who is striv
ing to keep his orchards properly."
Mr. Pohl's resignation came as a
surprise and is greatly regretted by
his many friends who were greatly
pleased with the iramonso amount
of good his enthusiastic labors in the
causo were accomplishing.
EFFECTIVE VOTING.
Editor Times:
At the lust election the peoplo
authorized the legislature to nrovlie
for the proportional election of mom
bors of the legislature and other
bodies of more than two mombors.
In Australia, where the agitation in
favor of the movemont is widespread
it Is called effective voting becauso
tho term proportional representation
poems too long. As it is certain that
If tho next legislature does not pro
vido a decided step toward 'a system
more effectively representing the
voter than the present one the ad
vocates of this reform will submit
thru tho initiative something definite,
it is a question that concerns our en
tiro electorate.
If nil tho mombors of a law mak-J
Ing body wore elected at largo it ap
pears immediately that n plurality of
votes would elect all the members,
loavlng a minority of one, or even
a largo majority where thoro were
throo or more partloe, without any
representation. As a majority of the
members would leglslato this would,
and where practiced, invariably does,
rsu't in mlnor.ty ruV, To obviate
tb's lb slnnU di. trlct was oyj!!.
The dominant party, however, by so
drawing the lines as to put their ad
versaries into a few districts with a
large pop-latlon and their own ad
herents Into a large number of dis
tricts with a sparse population, holds,
itself in power long after the peoplo
have voted again and again for a
changes This results In minority
rule, which Is repugnant to all true
American ideas of justice. In one
stato in this Union and probably
more districts with 20,0,00 voters
have one members of the legislature
and districts with 200 voters have
another. The dominant party carries
the little districts and the opposition
tho big ones with rare exceptions, re
sulting right along in tho rule of an
unscrupulous minority and tho con
tinued seating of a certain corpora
tion representative in the United Sta
tes Senate. It is natural that a ma
chine is built up and it grinds the
will of the people to powder. Ar
ranging districts In this manner is
called gerrymandering, and Is part
of the science of political mlsgovern
ment, called statesmanship nowa
days. In Oregon we have a mixed sys
tem of electing membprs of. tho legis
lature at large from certain counties
and in single districts comprising one
or more counties, with overlapping
single districts that Include counties
sending two, three, or more repre
sentatives. The result has been that
tho dominant party has had much
.rnqre than Its share of representation,
local machines have been pernicious
ly activo in arranging slates and the
people's Interests have suffered.
Therefore there is a change ordered,
nnd It Is sure to come.
The ballot Is effective In Switzer
land, Belgium and Tasmania, with
decided Bteps and warm agitation
looking toward Improvement lu Pin
land, Denmark, Sweden and some
portions of the German empire. In
Tasmania, an island State of Austra
lia, members of the legislature are
elected In districts returning six
membors. Each party obtnlns one
niomber of tho delegation for each
one- sixth of tho total vote its candi
dates receive, provisions being made
for indicating preference for party
candidates and for tho citizen voting
for candidates in two or more par
ti. The nlan, while too lengthy to
glvo In this nrticle, is porfectly prac
ticable, smooth In operation and
quick In giving returns. It was first
tried as an vpiTlment for two elec
tions and grv such satisfaction that
It was extend,. d and applied as n per
manent feature. Other Australian
States are sure to follow.
In Belgium the national legislative
body is elected from districts return
ing from two to 2S members. Each
party obtains its proportion in each
district returning three or more, and
the results in three elections have
been highly satisfactory to both tho
supporters and at one time opponents
of tho reform. It puts forward in
each party the most able and most
honest, relegating to tho rear the
trickster, the demagogue and the
fanatic. This results in harmonious
action, and while tending to disinter
grato party machines compensates
tho nation by creating confidence
among the people In their represen
tatives and the dlsippearance of bit
ter factionalism.
The number of Ineffective votes
cast under the system of electing law
makers in this country is enormous.
A vote cast for a candidate who is
defeated is ineffective. In some
states it mounts to GO per cent, and
rarely falls below 35 per cent. In
any system of proportional represen
tation the number of votes cast for
candidates who are defeated is verj'i
small, being a fraction of one per
cent in Tasmania. This results, too,
In a large reduction of the stay-at-'
homo vote, for where every vote
counts and the minority gets its Just'
share tho member of the party
knows he is needed, He cannot sayi
"It's no use, my party will be de
feated anyhow." Tho member of tho
majority party is similarly situated: I
he must vote to be represented, and
ho will be represented if he votes.
His party will not win, anyhow, and
will have only its just share. i
What is wanted in Oregon is a
simple, just, easily understood law,
ind that is likely to be proposed by
tho next legislature. Those inter-t
ested should write to Robert Tyson,
sccretnry of the American Propor
tional Representation League, 1Q
Harbord street, Toronto, Canada. He
will bo pleased to give information
and submit provisions for charters
In cities or for a state law. Oregon
needs tho best in everything.
