WHY EXCEPT JUDQES?
The constitution of Arizona has
been soverely criticized beoauso it
contained a provision providing for a
recall of tlie judgeB of the state
conrts. Now if Arizona wants to re
call thoir judges why not lot them do
it? Why should people in other
states object to a clause in the Arizo
na constitution providing for a reoall?
If judges go wrong, and they are not
infallible, why should they not be
subject to the same law that governs
other Btate and county officials?
Judges are supposed to ;be pure and
incorruptible, but it not infrequently
happens that a judge is tiied for some
kind of misdemeanor and is im
peached. If a judge is found guilty
of dereliction of duty why is it not
proper for the people who elected him
to have some voice in the matter of
his punishment V Judges are not
above the people. They are of the
people, and as such tiiey are entitled
to no more consideration than other
mortals. It often happens that rich
and influential criminals receive im
munity from tho higher courts. A
powerful political organization may
elect men to judgeship, and it may
happen that some member of this or
ganization will be brought before a
judge who has been elected to office
through the iiifluenco of this organ
ization. Now is it not perfectly nat
ural that an oflioer so elected should
be slightly biased in favor or tlie men
who put him in power? This is the
class of judges the recall is intended

iCAKRYINQ CONCEALED WEAPONS.
Hardly a week passes that we do
not read aooounts In the Portland pa
pers that another atrocious murder
has beon committed because uion are
allowed to carry couoealed weapons
There is a law in nearly every state
in the uuiou against carrying . con
cealed weapons and yot no attempt is
ever made to enforce it. snerins,
constables and police officer take an
oath to enforce the law. always with
the uiontal reservation that they will
enforce the laws that they think
ought to be enforced. People make
laws and thou place men in oflioe
whom they knoiv will not enforce the
laws thoy have made. For many
years in nearly every city in the
Untited States there was an ordinance
against the opening of saloons on Sun-
v, and yet no one ever tnougiic 01
uforniug it. It finally dawuod ou
the Law Eutoroonieut League that
there was a way to have the law en-
foroed, and they carried the matter
to the higher courts, whore it was do
elded that tho oity ollicials who did
not euforoe the law oould bo removed
from ollloe. There was no difficulty
after this docision in sotting tho sa
loons to close up on Sunday. Now
there ought to be some way to en
force the law against carrying oon
uoalod weapons. Probably one man
out of every ton carries a murderous
instrument in his hip pocket and in
most instances the ollieerB of the law
know who they are. Let us have
another law enforcement league, and
have all suspicious characters exam
ined, and when thoy are found to
have ooucealod weapons ou thoir per
sons do not let them off with a small
line, but compel them to serve one,
throo or six months in the county
jail, and after a number of them have
been compelled to serve out their sen
tences there will be less inclination
to defy the the authorities, and con
sequently thero will bo a fifty per
cent donroaso in tho amount of crime
committed.
Thoro is good reason why every
man in business should carry on that
business with the greatest possible
ellleienoy. We are hearing a great
deal just now about the need of effi
ciency in railway management in or
der to reduce the cost of doing busi
ness, aud farmers may learn some
thing from theso efficiency experts.
To produce a thing at the lowest pos
sible cost consistent with quality, to
sell it at tho best attainable price and
to uBe the proceeds to the best pos
sible advantage is the standard of
efficiency which every business man
should aim to reach, aud theso throe

essentials apply with peculiar force to
agriculture ; and yet in some respects
farmers have been the most wasteful
and careless. They have worked
bard, and too often they have care
lessly allowed others to reap the re
wards of their labors; and the time
has now come for us to conserve not
only our resources but our strength
and industry, in order that we may
get all that is coming to us, and that
mere jobbers in the products of our
toil may not get the greater part of
the reward.
WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO?
Apparently the president will have
an uphill job in convincing the in
coming extra session of congress to
pass the proposed reciprocity bill in
its present form. It is true that the
house passed the measure during the
last session of congress, all the Demo
crats but five voting for the measure.
Bat the incoming congress is com
posed of different men aud they may
have different ideas about the mattor.
The president wants congress to pass
the reciprocity bill and adjourn aud
let the regular session which meets in
December, pass on the proposer! re
duction in tariff duties. The Demo
crats are not inclined to do this aud
they now propose to revise the entire
law, quite a number of whom are in
favor of even side-tracking the reoi
procity scheme and pass the tariff for
revenue measure only. No party ever
went into power under more favor
able conditions than the presout bouse
ot representatives. They have a
chanoe to make a record that the
party will be proud of. If they can
succeed in relegating demagogio
measures to the rear and pass laws
that will relieve the burdens of the
people they can "point with pride"
to their record during the next presi
dential canvass, but if they insist on
debating the tariff laws nutil the
regular session of congress meets and
do not accomplish anything, they can
rest assured that many of their num
ber will be permitted to serve only
one term iu the national house of rep
resentatives. The country is getting
very weary of this everlasting taritl
talk. It interferes with business.
Manufacturers and importers are pre
vented from making arrangements for
future trade, and they are in hopes
that the time will sometime come
when tlie whole tariff question will
be submitted to a body of experts who
will be ablo to settle tho subjeot in a
scientific manner. There is a bill
uow before congress providing for a
permanent tariff toard, but both
bodies Beem to be afraid of it. They
are afraid that if the measure is taken
out of their bauds they will have
nothing to talk about. The present
tariff commission can only recom
mend. What is needed is a regular
tariff court with the saino powers as
are possesssed by the interstate com
merce commission. They would be
in session at all times and whenever
Importers and manufacturers thought
they were being discriminated against
the matter could be brought before
the oourt at ouoe aud settled, with
out waiting for two or three years of
congressional debate. This is the
measure President Taft favors but
there is not much likelihood of its be
coming a law. The probabilities are
that the country will not Benure any
relief during the coming , session of
congress, but it will get lots of poll
tics, and that is what tiie country
don t want.
IMPERIALISM.
The question of imperialism is again
coming to the front auu is to be made
an isBue bv the Democrats in tho cam
paign of 11)12. The subject will be
discussed at the extra session, altho
there are uo'uew developments to be
brought to the attention of th country
A vast majority of the party are iu
favor of getting rid of tlie Philip
pines. Some want immediate inde
pendence, while others want to place
the time of independence at five, ten
or fifteen years. Our occupation of the
islands is said to be a constant menace
to peaoo between this country and Jap
an, and if we should grant tlie r Ui-
imiio iudopoudeuce the country would
save millions of dollars annually, now
necoesary to keop np our navy. All
the political parties iu the isliinds
want iinuiodiate independence, but if
thoy oatinot secure that they want a
date set fixing tho time for the estab
lishment of an independent republic,
The revelations of a congressional in
vestigating committee, which riiselosd
the tact that American sugar interests
liavo purchased an immense amount
of rich farm lauds, which thoy consid

has strengthened a feeliuir that has
boon growing ou them for some

eight per cent of the vot rs. Any

Disease Lurks in Free Text Books.
The danger of disoaase infection,
the lack of any pressing necessity,
aud the satisfactory terms of the pres
ent law are the basis upon which
Prof. B. D. Kosslor of tho department
of education at tlie Oregon Agricultn
ral College rests his conviction that
the Btate has lost nothing vital
through the defeat of the free text
book law proposed in the legislature
tins year.
"We have had the free text book
question under cousidoration in the
past two or three legislatures." said
Prof. Hefislor in discussing the mat
ter, "and thore is now a provision in
the state statutes that school districts
may vote free text books, in case the
pupils are unable to provide them
tlieuisolves; or the board may provide
them, upon written recommendation
of the clerk ot the school board, for
indigent pupils.
'Personally I am not in favor of a
compulsory free text book law, so I
do uot mourn the demise of the one
presented in the legislature this year.
1 think the optional arrangement in
the presout law is sufficient to meot
conditions in Oregon as they now ex
ist, unr text boosB are not frequently
changed. They are adopted for per
iods of six years at a time, and at the
close of such periods thore are not
often many ohaiiges, the old books be
ing coutinued Thus the matter ol
expense is uot a great one.
"Somo people, I know, feel that the
presout provision is a sort of charity
law, and therefore make undue sacri
fices in order to avoid the atinearauoe
of accepting aid not required by their
uoiglitiors sacrifices they would uot
have to make if all were alike fur
nished with free books. But we buy
the looks at practically wholesale
prices; I do net think school boards
oould buy them in largo quantities
any cheaper than tho iuidvidual can
now secure them.
"The sense of owuershii) in bnnta
aud their care is, I think, an imnor-
taut matter for tho child's develop
ment, and is not possible, of course,
where there are free text books.
"More important than this, how
ever, is the very real dauger of dis
easo infection from books handed
down by tlie sohool district from one
geueratiou of pupils to another,
Thorough fumigation will, it is true,
minimize such danger; but that is not
an easy task, and few sohool districts
would be likely to attend to the mat
ter as faithfully as necessary.
"The danger of infection is great;
the need of free text books is certain
I; not a pressing one; and the present
law mnkes snlheioiit provision where
there is necessity. These, it Beeuis to
me. are reasons for a fair degree of
satisfaction with the present Btatus of
tlie free text book question iu Oie-
