§ O3 Monday afternoon Hou. John ; Dryden introduced a bill to prevent , auny further spread of this pest and if ; possible to extirpate it. The bill conâ€" b tains three main clauses, : The first clause provides that in case E> of the discovery of a scale in nursery p stock the nurseryman is to be notificd ‘ not to dispose of any of the stock till $ the inspector makes a full examination and reports it is safe to do so. ¢ A second provision permits the desâ€" f truction of orchards, the trees of which $ are evidently infected, upon the report L of the inspectors. The third provision, however, is the E main one. and is directed not only : against the ssale, but also against all Heiiee of chaages must be lfi at this office The first of these remedics is that voting should be made compulsory, and that every clector who fails to attend ab the polls and to deposit his ballot, unless be has a valid excuse for his non abtendance, should have his name stricken from the voters‘ list and be deprived of his franchise for a specified time. Secondly, the prohibition of personal canvassing by candidates and their agents. With these two reforms in our election law, bribery would be made almost impossible, a full vote and free expression of the people would be secared, while the candidates would be saved a groat deal of hard and degradâ€" ing work, which they now have to un:â€" dertake if they wish to stand any chanee of success. In addition to this the people could be much better inâ€" strected on public aairs, as the candiâ€" dates would have mere time to devote to public meetings, at which the issues in the campaigna could be thoroughly discussed. In fact, in many constituâ€" abandoned altogether in some cases,and | Cargi!, M.F., thehote work is done by private can, | Weln: 1 D. 5 vassing and buttonâ€"holing.
