George Hallet, editor of the Propor-
tional Representation Review, official
organ of the Proportional Represen-
tation League, is to speak in Ann
Arbor at 4:15 o'clock Thursday after-
noon in Room 25 Angell hall.
Proportional Representation will be
the subject of Hallet's lecture. In
discussing the subject he will deal for
the most part with places where the
new system of voting is being used.
In this instance he will tell of the
workings in a number, of the smaller
towns and cities throughout the Unit-
ed States which' have adopted the
plan as well as in the larger foreign
cities and territories where it is now
in iuse.
The Proportional Representation
league which Hallet is representing
sponsors particularly the Hare sys-
tern which provides for a single trans-
ferable vote. Hallet is to explain In
detail the workings of this plan and
is expected to show a number of in-
stances in recent elections where a
much more representative group of
men would have been elected to of-
fice under the Hare plan than were
placed in office through the present
system. The league, itself, numbers
among its directors such men as Sen-
ators Nooris, Owens, Pepper and Ladd
and Charles Beard, the historian.
Hallet in addition to being editor
of the organization's quarterly organ
is the co-outhor of the most recent
work'on the subject, "Proportional
Representation" collaborating with C.
G. Hoag in the work of writing it.

The maycr's threat to seek out andF
burn in a huge lakefront bonfire every
book in the Ilibrary found to have any
passage savoring of pro-British pro-
paganda, ran afoul a petition for an
injunction filed by Edward J. Bohaz,
an attorney, who alleged the threaten-
ed, destruction was without parallel
excepting in -ncient Alexandria, Con-
stantiniople and other places where
irreparable injury and damage to
civilization was wrought.

EFFINGER SPEAKS
TO NEW MEMBERS
Formal initiation of 40 new mem-
bers was held by the Cosmopolitan
club Sunday night at Lane Hall. Ac-
cording to Homer Grafton, secretary
of the Students Christian association,
there are more students of the univer-
sity who signified their intention of
joining, and who could not get to this
meeting, so that there is a possibility
of a second initiation being held in
the near future. Dean Effinger was
the principal speaker at the cere-
monies Sunday night.
Herrmann was called upon by Mayor
Thompson to sort out the distasteful
ones.
The books were public property,
paid for by taxation, and their des-
truction would deprive him of ob-
taining a different viewpoint in his-
torical and other data, Bohaz petioned,
and, since the books have been in the
library for a long time, no substantial
injury would be done by enjoining
destruction of them.
Chief of -the library, Carl B. Roben,
today expressed his wish that the
books found objectionable might be
sequestered but saved, but Herrmann
said that another city administration
might deem fit to restore them to cir-
culation and to prevent such a thing
they would be burned.
The only books supposed to be in
the municipal library, according to
Frederick Rex, librarian, deal with
municipal affairs, but he began delv-
ing through his shelves to see if the
monster propaganda might be lurking
even there.
