Hill, David Jayne. The people's government. 1915. Appleton. $1.25. JA ""The people's government' is one of the very few books in which simplicity and profundity are at one. Much that is sound and deeply pondered has been written by various competent and sincere thinkers with a similar end in view-the end of establishing democracy upon sure principles and of proving the permanent value of our American institutions. It is doubtful, however, if any study so penetrating, so immediately convincing, so free from philosophic objections, as this of David Jayne Hill's has heretofore been given to the public."-North American review.

"There is a rapidly increasing volume of public opinion to the effect that the systems of election now commonly prevailing work great injustice to a large number of voters in that under those systems large minorities and sometimes considerable majorities of voters are deprived of representation. The author of the book before us presents what he considers to be the gross injustice of this system of election and offers numerous illustrations both of voting results and of legislative and other evils which have flowed therefrom....What Mr. Humphreys advocates is 'the single transferable vote' or 'preferential voting.'...A considerable portion of the volume is devoted to an explanation of various systems which have been devised for the distributing of votes which have to be transferred."-Engineering news.

His book is based on recent investigations which have thrown new light on certain contradictions. These investigations are of two kinds. On the one hand they consist of studies of the daily work of several thousand factory workers and students of all seasons to ascertain the effects of change of weather and temperature. On the other they consist of studies of the past which go to show that wherever a nation has risen to greatness much the same climatic conditions seem to have existed as now exist in those parts of the earth where civilization is highest."-A.
