But there is a further very curious advantage given to the business interests in the privilege of plural voting. In the requisites for dues payers' electors, it is provided that every coal owner ship- ping coal, coke or cinders during the preceding year, in respect of which Tyne dues have been paid, shall have one vote for the first 10, 000 tons, and one vote for each additional 25, 000 tons up to a maximum of 18 votes. Every registered ship owner has one vote for the first 100 net register ton...s upon which dues were paid during the year, and one vote for each additional 250 tons up to a maximum of 18 votes. In a similar fashion, traders are allowed votes up to a total of 18. At an election of members to the commission, an elector may vote for as many candidates as are necessary to fill vacancies, casting all his votes or any part of them for any candidate he pleases. It will be seen that by this process members are chosen by business rather than by business men, and that it would be a very simple matter for large interests to override the many small inter- ests in the choice of representatives, and in the policies of the com- mission.
