SEVEN NATIONS IN GOVERNENT TESTS New Ideas in Constitutions Be- ing Tried Out ¢ rumors are true that Spanish constitution will create & national legislature elected by oc- cupations instead of by districts, Spain will take its place in the lengthening list of nations who ir: trying out a new idea in government. Germany, Jugoslavia, _Poland, | Soviet Russia, Austria and Ttaly are | the other experimenters.. These na- | tions have converted themselves into I soclal testing laboratories. 1f their experiments prove out the | new wrinkle in reform may spread around the world like republican government spread after the crea- tion of the United States of America. “Qccupational representation can best be understood,” says a bulletin | from the Washington, D. C. h»adr} a new quarters of the National Geographic woctety, “by imagining our own American government remade to fit it. Members of the senate, for ex- ample, would not be elected two from each state. They would be sent to congress by various organi- rations; one senator from the American Medical association; one senator from the Manufacturers’ as- sociation; one senator from the ‘Big Four’ Raflroad Brotherhoods; one senator from the National Educa- tion association; one senator from the Women's clubs, etc. All Ameri- cans of voting age would be classi- fled by their occupations, and | through the occupational organiza- tions they would select national rep- | resentatives. | “Like 0 many things under the sun the idea is not new. The ‘three estates’ of feudal government were roughly occupational; nobility, elergy and the commoners. German Occupational Council | “But the modern phase begins ! with Article 165 of the post-war| German republican constitution and | with the Russian Soviet develop- ment. Article 165 provides for | ‘workers councils in all the factories and a national economic council. | The latter {s to be composed as fol- | lows: 6% representatives of agriculture and forestry. 68 representatives of general in-| dustry, 44 representatives of commerce | and banking. | 36 representatives of small busi- ness (handicraft). 34 representatives of transport| services. | 6 representatives of markets and 30 representatives of consumers (cities, consumbers associations and ‘women's organizations). 16 representatives of civil service and ,professions. 24 representatives named by gov- ernment, “Of the 68 representatives of gen- | eral industry half are labor men and half employers. Thus the Potash Syndicate, In this group, has two representatives, one for capital and one for labor. “Germany has proceeded cautious- 1y. The Economic Councll to date has been given advisory powers only and it cannot be said to have per-| formed, as yet, any great decds, Marked in Central Europe “Fach Austrian province has been instructed to organize a workers' chamber consisting of manual work- ers and clerical employes in industry and manual workers and clerical | employes in public service. Poland, | Yugoslavia, and even the Free City of Danzig. on the other hand have endeavored to include occupational features in their central govern- ment. “A soviet is itself an occupational group like a farmers' grange or a ‘workers' council, so it is natural to find the soviet government develop- ing ‘the new idea most vigorously. Yet their contribution to the tests carries less weight because capital has no rights to speak of and one city laberer is placed on equality with five farmers by the present soviet system of voting. “Newspapers recently carried Mussolinl's announcements con- 'Hyman Isaacson of | Winsted Dies Suddenly | Winsted, Aug. 17—Hyman Isaac- | son, proprietor of a clothing store | here and one of the largest land | owners in the town, died suddenly last night about a halfshour after | leaving his store when he complain- | | ed of fecling {ll.

B. Dubuc, although a powerful swimmer, drowned attempting to save the | lives of others of his party. The dramatic story of the tragedy was related by Albert Lafreniere, who, with his wife and two children Father Dubuc and Miss Leomie Slyvestre set out Wednesday night for a cruise around the lake, after a plenic at which they had been the | priest's guests. They had proceeded a mile up the lake when a backfire from the | engine ignited gasoline in the bot- tom of the launch. The gasoline tank exploded, enveloping the boat in flames, | Calming his guests as the flames crackled around them, Father Du- bue clamly recited the ritual of his church and then said: “There is | nothing else to do. We must jump | into the water." Lafreniere, clasping his oldest son, Claude 3, in his arms made for a small island which the glare from three hundred vards distant. Father Dubuc went o the aid of the two women. Mrs. Latreniere, had her month-old son clasped in her arms.
