To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The learned Judge of the County Court, in dealing with this question of policy, suggests that the legislature may have intended to prevent the possibility of a secretary of school trustees using the rate-roll of his section to aid him in his canvass, but it can hardly be supposed that the subject of corrupt practices would be dealt with in that way. Bribery and intimidation at elections are not usually sought to be prevented by making ineligible for candidature the persons who have the means of... using these unworthy influences. If that were the policy the legislature should, to be logical, disqualify every man who has a ledger or is likely to have a purse, and this Act, to be at all efieetive, should have disqualified a number of county officers, — assessors, for example, who can still hold their offices during their candidature. Corrupt practices are dealt with in another part of the Act, (of 1881,) and in another way. The learned Judge came nearer, we think, to the object of the disqualifying clause when he referred to the powers of the Council to make by-laws concerning " tolls, rates and municipal revenues," and also to the anomaly of the secretary of the trustees sitting as Councillor on an appeal from the sectional assessment, in which, in respect of his commission, he would have an interest.
