ONE VOTE, ONE VALUE.
(To THE EDITOR or THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—In reply to one or two inquiries on the matter, will you permit me, to say that I shall be very pleased to lend to any local parliaments or debating societies engaged this winter in discussing the question of redistribution of seats any of the models that portray the electoral anomalies in the present House of Commons ? The only stipulation I make is that the leader of the House be good enough to request the Sergeant-at-Arms, or some responsible officer, to see that the model is repacked in its box at the conclusion of the debate. I might add that local parliaments will be entitled to exercise the privilege of paying the cost of carriage (though I do not wish to press this motion to a division) if either they or the local Chancellor of the Exchequer see fit.
