Registrars
Instructions

Art. 7. Registrars apt how
obtainable.
1. Reading and writing
will be universal under
the Electors Code
2. Location being by
Justice Minister from
all Bissubdistricts: not
election from that in
question
3. Day labourer's pay
would suffice to make
the situation preferable
to bodily labour
4. The plainer the regulations,
the less intellectual
aptitude will
suffice.
Instructions
Thus stand the dangers. Two are the situations in each above of territories
official situations for which as will be seen as hath been seen, provision requires
to be made. The functionary in whose instance the
demand for appropriate knowledge and judgment and active talent is most
urgent is the Registrar: and for his office how small moderate
the quantity is that is necessary, is sufficiently visible
Here reading and not only reading but writing is indispensable. But
by the supposition as per Electors Code §, every Elector, that
is every adult male can read: and if there be but this
one who can write as well as read, this one if he
be but willing to be located in the office is will be sufficient.
For this situation election by those by whom the
not being employed not elective, but location
performed by a single superordinate, no matter
from what part of the whole territory of the State, the location
comes. But suppose the attached emolument attached little more
than the amount of pay of the lowest paid manual labourer
of persons willing to become located need not be
regarded as probable: for by persons in large
proportion sedentary employment will be preferred to
bodily labour when to a certain degree certain.
One course for diminishing the probability of
insufficiency of appropriate aptitude is to minimize the
quality necessary for the purpose: and in respect as to
of all this as well as all other labouring operations performed
by the observance of rules, the plainer and more
easily and certainly intelligible the rules, the greater will
be the probability the less the improbability, of adequate
appropriate aptitude.
