System That Needs Re forming. Somu day the juiliciiil sy.ilum of Oregon will bo ruformwl. If judges and lawyers do not do it themselves, it will bo done, and done summarily, . by those less competent. . J ho latoHt of several efforts lit chango ends In a disagreement by th members of tho commission named two years ago to proposo reforms. Four or tho seven members of the commission join in proposed changes which chip gingerly at tho symptoms but do not go to the root of the trou ble. A fifth1 commissioner Th it minority report concurs in the proposals but points out evils in the system that the majority report leaves untouched. Two other members boldly declare that the proponed relief is but tem porary, that the whole system should be reformed, and, in tho form of bills, submit a plan to reconstruct the sys tem and bring it up to the state of modern efficiency applied in Groat Britain and other countries, and in 'some American states. Tho majority report recommends tho utilization of circuit judges when not fully employed in local work by assigning them to congested circuit courts or to tho supreme court to aid In clearing up the docket in that court whenever necessary. "The remedies suggested are inade quate," says a minority report .signed by Jmlgo t'hailes 1! Carey mid lien Selling.' This report goes on to say: ".We find that in a very large por tion of .the cases heard in the courts, there is an absolute failure. to secure a final adjudication on the merits and . according to right and justice. This i. dee to- the fact that the system is Wlong, and judges lire compelled to enter judgments (md mders that they kr.ow will not settle tlu. merits of the .controversy, and will leave an unsatis factory result of the litigation, i,.iiil from the standpoint of the ultimate aims of jurisprudence." Here is exti aoid.n n j statement on high nuihority. -'In a very tu go uor tion of the cases heard in me com Is there in nr. absolute iaiiore to se. ore a finul adjudication on ti e merits ana according to right and jiimiiv."

Preparations for Jour teenlh Ocsua. In order to avoid wtsti and deity i.i the conduct pf the next decennial inventory of the country's population agriculture and industries, to be made in VMO, the bureau ii carrying on such preparatory work as can be done prior to the enactment of the pending bill to provide for the fourteenth census. Under this bill, if it is enacted into law, all the clerical and sub-clerical forces of the bureau will be appointed through open competitive cxamina tiona held by the United States civil lervice commission, as at the census HMO. In addition, a number of the minor officials will be appointed In tho same manner; nnd in certain oth er respects also the provisions of the nil in reference to the merit aystom have been made more rigid than the :orri'sponiling ones contained in the let providing for the last census. A number of conferences have been held with representatives of. the de partment of agriculture and others for the purpdsc of deciding upori thto'OX'-" act scope of tho inquiries in' regard to agriculture, irrigation and drainage. The fourteenth census will cover he subjects of population; agricul ture, including irrigation and drnin- igc; manufactures, and mines, qunt- les and oil and gas wells. Tho un- lertaking will require the services of I field force of about 85,000 or 90, )00, chiefly enumerators. The can- iss of the urban population will re- luire two weeks,, and the canvass of ho rural population and of agricul- ure will be completed in one month; nit the collection of tho industrial sta- istics will consume several months. 1 he results of the comiuir censuse.i nf griculture and of mnuufucturim' and linerul industries will be of unusual ilue npd significance for the. renron hat they will cover tho operations of the ealondar year IS) lit, during which the argiculturo and industries of the ountry will be passing through a pe .inl of transition from a war to a ,e;ue basis.

If you' are troubled with in CASE 1018 KEROSENE. TRACTOR if This tractor is the smallest size iu the CASE trac tor family. As a kerosene burner it is unequalled. This machine is very little heavier than a team of horses, weighing only 3400 pounds., Its length is 102 inches, width 5G inches, and heighth 5-1 VI. inches. . It is rated at 10 II. P. on the drawbar, and 18 H. P. on the belt, but it will really develop much more than that. In developing 10 II. P. on the drawbar, with the tractor traveling at 24 miles per hour, a pull of , 16(iC pounds is developed. This is more than is or dinarily required in pulling a two-bottom plow 7 or S inches deep. The tractor is capable of exert ing a pull of 21500 pounds. The reserve poweV, over and above its rating means much to tlie owner. It is to your advantage to know more about this powerful little tractor, and wc will be glad to fur nish -further information. ' . J. A. CHANDLER, DEALER Phone Black 3702.
