Cab, But They Mustn"t Be Twins--Star Goes for Repeal of Cab Hiring Clause in Elec tion Law. | Montreal Star, The two' partly organizations in Kingston have entered into an agree- ment to hold a pure election; and then they have endeavored to ensure the keeping of this t by naming a tribunal of three with power to un- scat the candidate of the party which | breaks it. It will be interesting to see how this results; and it is in- teresting already to note how it deals with the vexed election cab question. "The hiring of vehicles to convey electors to the polls" is iorbidden--as it is forbidden by the law--and, in or- der to make it easy to detect breach. es of this provision, "it is further agreed by the parties hereto, that to prevent any doubts as to the obsery- ance of the law no vehicle shall be volunteered, or used either in connee- | tion with the registration of voters to | take persons up to register or on elge- | tion day to take voters to the poll | to vote. Each candidate, however, 1s allowed to have one vehicle on elec tion day for "his personal use, which he may also employ to transfer his workers from one poll to another, but not to vote." -- . That is Kingstonians who wish to vote at the next election there will have to walk to the polls or hire their own cabs. If they take a friend in the cab with them, they will be in danger of voiding the election. if it can connected with either ofthe party or- ganizations, This goes far bevond the law; but it is the only, way* in which the law can be honestly enforced. If cabs can be "volunteered" on election day to the party committees. the door | is opened wide to the practical hiring of cabs through some indirection by the party committees. But these King- stonian reformers wot only say that cabs shall not be "volunteered" but that they shall not be "nsed"';' and, consequently, any party having cabs at its disposal to send for voters is by this very fact guilty of a breach of the agreement. a It is thoughtfully provided that each | t candidate may 'have ome cab; but that cab must not be twins, and--pre- sumably--it must be the same cab all day. There will thus be two busy cabs on election day in Kingston, while the other "cabbies" can drive people any- | t where they like but to the polls. Still | | suppose a "cabby' is an enthusiastic | ¢ party man and wants to drive a few of | F his friends to vote, he having, of course, no connection with his party | t organization, what are . the dread three going to do about it ? No one | I would be to blame but the "cabby"'; and they lack power to unseat him. Yet if all the "cabbies" were thus to develop partisan tepdencies for one day only, and still wefe to have no- thing to do with thé party workers, | ¢ but were to drive around with lists apparently of their own making, the situation would not differ much from that of old times; and still no one would be to blame. » A better and surer basis of reform would Be to repeal the ecab-hiring clauses in the election law. They are absurd as applied to a city election. No large amount of corruption can be distributed hy the mere hiring of cabs to carry voters to the polls; and it is the truth that many good citizens have become accustomed to being sent | for on election dav that they would | fail to vote were this formality omit: ted. © T d ¢ The "'grafters" and the bribed | 25¢.
