S'side Home. School Welfare Group Meets

-- The Home and School wel- fore Group of Summerside met for the February meeting in the High School library Tuesday evening with the president, Mr.tAmos Hub- iey. in the cfhalr. r

It was decided at the meeting that the group would join the newly organized federation of home am! school groups of the province also to become a membe M the Musical Festival for the coming year. The plaque presented month- ly for the attendance of parents at the Home and School Group meetings was given to Mrs. Mac- Klnnon's grade 2 class.

It was decided to provide a back drop for the stage of the High School auditorium and plans were made for the coming Education Week, the first week in March. As in previous years, there will be a display of studenfs' projects from all the grades and departixnems in the auditorium.

The captain of the February group was Mr. A.s. Hopkins, His group gave it most. interming and instructive discussion on juvenile delinriuinry. 'I'a.ki.iu part. in iihls round table discussion were, Mrs. Poi-lee, Mr. Elmer Pincou. Rev.

other parts of the brief contain- ed excerpts from a report prepar- ed by Mr. Leo P. Molsaac in 1061 when he was Research Director for the Federation. That report dealt with the property vote, what was termed H i oded" electoral dis- tricts. the matter of representation by population and how boundaries of districts were altered in Nova Scotia. to permit the heavily pop- ulated areos greater represents- tlqn. The report then noted that it might be necessary for electoral purposes to revise the present die- tricts on the basis of "polling div- isions" rather than on school dis- ts.

Mr. Mclsaac suggested s chiuige in the present system in which Kings County would have eight districts. Prince County rural eight districts, Queens County rur- al io districts. the Town of sum- merslde two representIi;ives and the City of Charlottetown three representatives.

The Federation brief also in- cluded I presentation it bed mule to the Government in March of last year. It stated that farm people generally -were anxious thst some definite action be taken soon to bring our Election Act into con- formity with present day condit- ions.

vlwpreeentetion By PopulItion

Mr. Arthur L. Wright said he appeared as a private citizen and wished to deal only -with the met- fer of representation by popula- tion, He pointediout. that in the last Provincial election tbe'l"lfth District of Queens. Charlottetown, had 20.0 percent of the total vote; the Fifh District of Prince had 'l.7'I"n: and the Fifth District of Kings had 2.46'?t. But despite the discrepancy in population each district had the same aim of the representation.

He thought in order to rectify the situation that new electoral boundaries would have to be es-

S. tobllshed to conform to the gen-

eral ratio of populstion. to the natural geographical entity and to the self interest of the educational and C031-Ynefclnl life of the district. Hon. Mr. Mntheson ulred how he would reconcile the proposal with the Dominion situation -where some constituencies hId 00.000 people and others only 30.000 Ind then went on to explIln thst the reeson was that the lIr-gar pop- ulated ones hId muriicipel forms of government to hsndle locIl mothers. However. Mr. wright still ml: thIt chsrlotfewwn should have more thentwo representat- ives out of 30. .

Maj. John A. MIcDonIid men- tioned that in the country I mem- ber might have s district ooverinl I lsrge tires which would necessit- ate I great deal of travelling Ind providing many roads to look of- tar.

Mr. J. 0. C. Csmpbell seid the situetlori wu similar to the It- tempted rearrangement of County Courts some years Igo when it was found impossible to serve Kings County with only one court he- ceuse of its widely renging IreI.

The committee member then re- marked that this brought up again the question of multiple voting. Mr. Campbell reminded the hear- ing that when the Upper House was abolished by its own consent it was done on an agreement that there would always be a property vote. Mir. Matheson defended the property vote on the grounds that s man owning property had A greater stake in the future and was more likely to remain here than one without property who might leave at any time.

Most of the excitement of the afternoon was reserved for the ap- pearance of Mr. Douglas MscF'ar- lsne, C. C.P. representative. At times during the hearing the pro- ceedings were reminiscent of a political sounding board.

The C. C .F. brief favored the abolition of the property vote, low- ering the voting age to 18, print- ing the candiatek party affiliation on the ballot and abolishing can- didatod desposits in elections. Of the letter he said that high depos- its turn politics into 1 rich man's game and we should getaway from "big money governrment,"

Regarding the age limit he thought if 3 man is old enough ,to go to war he should be old enough to vote.

High Deposits

He believed that the present high deposits were established in order to prevent new parties get- ting started. There was consider- able discuss'ion,with all members of the committee taking part. Hon. Mr. Darby asked if he favored the abolishing of them altogether, while Major MacDonald agreed that the deposits were too high. .

Mr. MacFarlane admitted he was not entirely satisfied with the result of the ”F'Cd8Ti1l.l0ll of Agri- culture poll, but felt it did in- dicnte a trend. Asked by Hon. Mr. Cullen his opinion on dual con- stituencies. he thought the prop- erty vote could be abolished and evay voter vote for ,two men. Eventually he thought there could be fewer men in the Legislature. He thought the electors' list, bhould be better prepared and not little Irgument on the matter when he said there often was lax- ity It the polls in permitting people to vote. He especisllv mentioned the situation where I men might own two properties in the some district but in different polling divisions. The workers would not. necessarily know in which poll he intended to vote and it could happen that he might vote in both.

When he stated that with the present high deposits it meant tint I party would have to put up 00,000 in order to contest. every district he was sharply questioned with sevei-Il me bars of the com- mittee steling that no one ever put up their deposits for ttiei-n. it was nlwsys their own money. Mr. Mec- Psrlene thought when the party put the money up the elected man lost. some individual rights. but this he believed to he at good thing. He was reminded that this tmuld also mean that the psrty then controlled the way a men voted.
