DAILY EDITION. qgPipi Tuesday, June 14, 1927 IRISH ELECTIONS INTERESTING Nobody seems to get excited over the Irish elections yet nobody seems to know exactly what will be the outcome. There are so many groups that it will be difficult to place some of them after the election count is complete. While the government is in the lead, apparently, it lias no semblance of a majority over all and If it remains in power must seek the support of other groups. What effect it will have, not even Irishmen who have followed recent political developments in the Old Country can predict There are a lot of people who try to do their work and another lot of people who spend much of their time advising them how to do it. ,: CROPS ARE DOING WELL News from the prairies indicates that the acreage sown to wheat is almost as large as last year and that the young crops are growing with great rapidity. The outlook is excellent as long as frost and hail do not take too large a toll. At any rate the calamity we feared did not happen. And this is the usual outcome of our worries We think everything is going wrong and suddenly the sun begins to shine again and everything is lovely. Opportunity knocked at the door of Clarence Chamber-Jain v to win fame and wealth by flying from New York to Paris. He dallied, and the opportunity was snatched from him by ruthless fate and today Lindburgh is the hero while Chamberlain is over in Germany trying to work up enthusiasm over his flight. ALTERNATIVE VOTING Alternative voting or proportional representation is a very cumbersome method. Here is-'the way one paper explains it: In the coming elections In Manitoba the alternative vote is to be used in 45 provincial constituencies. The object is to insure that where there are'three or more candidates in the field the one chosen will be the choice of the majority of the electors. The method of what is known as the alternative or transferable vote is, of course, in the nature of a subterfuge. Voters re required to give their, preference, as it were, and jhen to give, a second preference, which means that a voter may have a first choice of a Farmer candidate and a second of a Conservative. He may not want to vote for the Con servative at all, but, apart altogether from his views on the subject, in order to insure that a successful candidate has the ''support" of a majority of those voting, he is given a second choice. There is nothing mysterious about this method' of voting except that it presupposes that voters are quite ready to split the franchise in elections. All Ihe elector has to do is to mark the figure 1 oppo site the name of the candidate who is his or her first choice and the figure 2 opposite his or her second choice. Then, in the case of four candidates being in the field in a constituency, the voter has the further privilege of mutilating his or her political predilections by marking the figure 3 opposite the name of his or her third choice. As a palliative for the alternative vote it is explained that it does not help at all for a voter to plump for any one candidate. That is the most he or she can-do, but the one plumped for may not be tne victor, and it is naively pointed out that the effect of indicating a second choice is that in case the first choice is not elected the voters' alternative vote may help to elect the candidate who is regarded by him or her as "next best." Under the system the counting of ballots becomes more com- . . . ... II 1-1 Jl It 1 .1 - a jmcaieu man u nas ever oeen in me past, a candidate with a majority of the first choices is declared elected. If he fails to secure this majority then the candidate with the smallest number of first choice votes is eliminated. The second choices on the ballot paper are then distributed between the other candidates and the one then obtaining a majority will be elected. The Manitoba Free Press says the alternative method "is quite simple." and that news paper believes it-secures "an adequate expression of the will of the electors in any constituency where there are more than three candi dates than js possible under he present system of her first past the post" What is not taken into consideration at all Is the question of policies Involved. A voter may be keen on a candidate as second choice but may absolutely abhor the policies of his party. The transferable vote is one of voting for men and not measures, a question of personal likes and dislikes which tends to ignore the policies that guide the destinies of a country. It sets candidates above the measures for which they are responsible. Culture consists in feeling a lot superior to all those around us because of being able to take soup without making a noise.

Perry urged at last night's coun cil meeting that she fire department should Le given regular weekly drills as a means of assuring Its efficiency in time of need. In all cities in which he had been such was the custom and he thought it might well be established : . htre. There should be hook and ladder drill and sucsa other practices. Alf Pmwn Yvnintaf nut thAt it was prcrnpt response and he took it for granted tu?t the department was retaining !tt efficiency. Aid. Larson said that he had fre quently seen the department testing Its signal boxes and other equipment That teemed to be a regular procedure. He thought there were frequent enoug'a alarms to keep the department lu practice. Aid. Stephens felt that rending in false alarms was a practice that should te frowned upon. I: was the place of the chief to give his men exercise and keep them in proper shape to hsndlt fires He did not know personally or any delinqulncy. On the contrary, lie! nought the fire department mas a very ! fair one. That was borne out by the oard of underwriters which had been jraduslly reducing the rates In the city. The underwriters would not be doing that If they did hot think the depart-' The matter was something he thought for the chairman of the committee in charge to look Into. It was decided to leave this matter In the. hands of the committee as well as another complaint by Aid. Perry that the 10 o'clock curfew bell had not been ringing regularly of late. WOULD CHECK INGRESS OF LABOR TO RUPERT Contractor Awarded Contract for Con struction of Kalen Island lllh-way Will he AdWord Plenty of .Men Here Aid. Larsen moved and Aid. Llnzey seconded Tit last night's council meet-:g that the mayor be urged to com-jiunlcate with the contracting concern that should be awarded the contract for the continuation of the Kalen Is land highway advising that there was plenty of labor In the city without bringing any frum the outside. The- notion carried. Aid. Larsen stated that large num bers of men had already been attracted to the city through the prospects of this work toeing undertaken at an early date. He estimated that there were at the present time In the city 200 men who did not know where they mould get their next meal. So that there would be no undue Influx of men he felt that the contractors should be notified that there were already plenty here. He also felt that local men ahould be given the preference on this work. . Aid. Perry pointed out that the sue-:cssful contracting company was at liberty to hire or fire such men as it .aw fit. Resolutions passed by the council could have little effect upon It. SEVERAL TAX SALE ' LOTS DISPOSED OF Clly Council Arcepts Itrconimentlatlnn of Illume Committee Transfrrlng Property to Private Owners Transfer of several lots from the city's delinquent list to private owners was effected through recommendations of the finance committee accepted by the council last night.

Qreer explained. in answer to a 'question by Aid. Brown, that some years ago Mr. Manson and another party had purchased' double corner on Second Avenue. The partner had let it drop by not paying taxes and the property reverted to the city Mr. Manson had applied for the other lots of similar value and assessment to his undivided halt-Interest In the first property and It was to settle the muter In this way that the recommendation" was. brought In.
