Ihere is occasionally a man who
remains a man even after elevation to
the highest courts.
Once in a while a big jurist can
see conditions outside of his circle.
once in a while a man will not let the
crust envelop him.
And such a man is Justice Howard
of the U. S. supreme court. He will
probably get hia for making this
break and telling his brothers what
is what, but he simply stated condi
tions as they are and predicted the
future as any man who reads and ob
serves is bound to see it.
Justice Howard cited instances of
where justice patted the rich man on
the back and shoved the poor man in
to jail and then stated these plain
truths:
"The people are becoming im
patient with these discrepancies
of justice, and they are demand
ing with a louder voice each day
that there be reform. It is not
well to scoff at the mutterings of
the people; there is much reason
for it.
Unless judges act, the people
will act, if they do not resort to
the recall, they- will revise the
constitution and create new
courts courts that will do rough
justice; courts to do summary
justice; courts close to the com
mon people; courts without tech
nicalities, sophistry and delay,
and where substantial right prevails."
If we would use the recall more we
would have less use for the referen-
dum.
There are two new factors to be
reckoned with in Oregon from now
on, the Farmers Society of Equity

Oregon, progressive all over and
democratic now, electing a republican

Oregon is undertaking to stamp out

Two hundred thousand dollars is
the amount .the legislature thinks

the Panama Exposition, and no doubt
the governor will sign the bill. Sen

"JUSTICE."
The proposition to extend the time
of the legislature might be looked on
favorably if it were not for the av
alanche of bills introduced. The vot
ers will ask "If 900 bills are intro
duced in 40 days, how many would
there bo in 80 days?"
One legislator at Salem, and one
only, refused to introduce a single
bill. His constituents should welcome
him home with a brass band.

attle, a millionaire, was convicted of

He made a great fortune through il

For twenty months Hillman fought
punishment for his crime, carrying
the case even to the United States

Every court found him guilty, and
twice during his fight against prison,
he was found guilty of attempting to

He was sentenced to McNeil's Is

The Hurd bill Bhould become a law.
It provides that propositions on
ballots shall be labeled so that voters
may know what they are. and it pro
vides tHat when an initiative petition
is circulated the backers of that pe
tition shall be named.
It took a lot of careful study last
fall for a voter to know which propo
sitions were which. They started out
with "A Bill for an act to amend,"
etc., and blinded rather than led the
voters.
And then we should know WHO
stand behind the measures.
Last fall you simply could not lo-1
cate who was father to that mon
strosity, the "Majority Rule" propo
sition, which was tried to be jimmied
through under flase pretences.
Let the voters know what they are
voting for, and smoke out every man
who is behind a bill.
After plugging through the mill
ions of appropriations, the senate has
entered into a secret agreement to
stay in session and pass the bills over
the governor if he vetoes them. The
legislature is laying out a lot of work
for the referendum and recall.
Congress passed a bill to exclude
coolies and the undesirables by pro
viding that each person coming to
this country shall be able to read or
write in the native language. Taft,
bigger than the government, vetoed
it and the senate, bigger than Taft,
passed it over his veto. Then the
house, bigger than all, killed it again,
Don't you believe that if a good-
sized chunk was cut off that $720,000
that the legislature has handed out to
the state colleges (beside their regu
lar maintainance) and it was given
to the little red school houses in the
country for better buildings, better
equipment and better salaries, we
would get more educational result's
than we do now? 'eh?
One week from tomorow this coun
try will have a new president, and no
man ever went before the American
people with more confidence behind
him than Woodrow Wilson. He has
some mighty big problems to solve,
but Wilson is a big man. The one
danger is that the people expect so
much of him and his administration
expect too much.
The Gill-Day compromise good
roads bill passed the house Wednes
day. It provides a state road board,
consisting of the governor, secretary
of state and state treasurer, and a
state road engineer at a salary of
$3,600 a year. The half-mill tax, it is
estimated, will raise $452,000 a year.
To this will be added the surplus
from the automobile license fund, an
other $50,000 a year. The tax becomes
effective in 1914, and other provis
ions at once. One-third of the road
fund is to be used on state trunk
roads and two-thirds for county aid.
ing the vote of the county's represen
tatives on the Home Rule amendment
at Salem, the Courier reversed the
positions of the members, and had
them as voting the opposite of what
they did vote. The following letter
from Representative Gill explains the
matter and shows how unintentional
confusion happened:
Editor Courier:
On the first page of your issue of
february 14th, you have an article
entitled "How our Boys Voted." You
have gotten the cart before the horse.
The resolution committee reported
the Home Rule amendment unfavor
ably. The motion then before the
house was: "Shall the bill be indefin
itely postponed?" If this motion car
ried the amendment was lost. Mr.
Schuebel vigorously opposed indefin
ite postponement. Mr. Schuebel and
I voted "no" in. an effort to put the
amendment up for final passage, so
that the amendment might be submit
ted to the people. Mr. Schnoerr voted
to kill the amendment by voting
yes to the question of indefinite
postponement. Please publish this
statement in your paper in order that
the public may know the way it hap
pened. You have unintentionally
done Mr. Schuebel and myself an in
justice by making it appear that we
supported the saloon interests. We
have supported Governor West's mo
ral reform bills all the way down the
line.
I wish to say in conclusion that the
liquor lobby was here in force, lobby
ing against the Home Rule amend
ment, and I am of the opinion that
considerable bottled persuasion was
used.

THE LEGISLATURE.
If some loafer insulted your sister
and you met him on the street and
knocked his block off the people would
say that you did the right thing at
the right time and place. They would
not "stop to consider redress before
the law.
But when a governor of a state
goes after a newspaper man who has
been hounding him for weeks and
lets his fingers tighten over his wind
pipe why that is simply scandelous!
Of course it is not a dignified spec
tacle to see a governor and a report
er rolling over on the capitol floor
trying to pummel the stuffiing out of
each other, but when it was related
to me how this newspaper man had
persistently prodded pins into the
governor until he could no longer
stand it well I feel very much as the
public does when it reads how the
brother lambasted the lout that in
sulted his sister.
USE THE BIG STICK.
The house has appropriated $728.-
000 for the state colleges and put
these appropriations into five bills.
so it will be hard and expensive for
the voters to pass on them through
tne referendum.
And to show the legislature the
voters resent these joker tactics, the
voters should do one or both of two
things Invoke the referendum on
the biggest items, and invoke the re
call on the bipgest steerers. If the
legislature won't do what you wan't
done, use these big sticks. That
what they are for, to be used in lust
such situations.

"SWEET CREW AT SALEM."
The following is from a special
writer at Salem to a Portland daily,
and it shows the voters how things
are jammed through at the capitol:
Barrett s good roads bill has been
passed with all the provisions desired
by the paving interests inserted. The
bill is the most important and far
reaching that is before the lawmak
ers this session and its passage in the
present shape will result in enslaving
the taxpayers of Oregon for years
nd an era of bribing and conniving
never before equaled in the state.
While heretofore the power of rob
bing property owners only extended
incorporated cities by paving
schemes.
now the whole state through the
county judges will be the victims of
the pirate bill.
Kellahcr, Joseph, Dimick and a
minority fought the influence of the
paving trust every step of the way on
this legislation. The bill was juggled
from committee to committee and
slashed to suit the will of its spon
sors. Kellaher inserted an amendment
calling for the power to advertise for
bids on specifications regardless of
any patent roads. This clause has
been the storm center of the bill. Af
ter the first consideration of the
measure by a joint committee, the
clause was favorably considered, but
when the bill came up for passage
it was found to have been nullified
by the insertion of the prelude to it.
This was noticed before it was too
late and the bill was sent back and
forth half a dozen times in an attempt
to eliminate the clause detrimental to
the paving companies. When it was
found Kellaher and his supporters
would not stand for the killing of
this clause and intended to camp on j
the job until the bill was passed, the
big interests gang in a loaded com
mittee cut out the one thing they did
not desire and brazenly passed the
measure, refusing to consider any
change.
Another feature of the bill is that
the people of the various counties will
have nothing to say where the roads
are to be built, but the kind, place and
cost are left to the county judge and
commissioners. A referendum will be
put on this measure if the governor
does not veto it.
AN EXPLANATION
Unintentional Confusion of Vole Re
verses Representatives' Standings
In the issue of the 14th in report-
Salem. The legislative assembly
faces the last week of the session with
the house still congested with bills,
The senate calendar was practically
cleaned up and from now on that body
will devote its time to consideration
of house bills.
Much Important legislation is still
awaiting action by one or both houses,
None of the big appropriation bills
have been passed up to the governor,
Good roads legislation is still ln the
air, owing to hostility ln some quar
ters and conflicting opinions among
those really In favor of some real
legislation to promote Improved high
ways throughout the state.
The workmen's compensation act
hag passed tht house and is now ln
the senate. There Its progress is im
peded by Day's compulsory act.
The record at the close of the week
showed nine bills of the last session
passed over the governor's veto; 43
bills passed and signed or filed by
the governor; two bills in the gover
nor's hands; one bill passed this ses

Introduced ln the house.
The house resolution provides that
legislators, clerks and all legislative
employes shall receive pay for 40

West Throws Bombshell.
Declaring that no opposition bills
will receive the sanction of the gov
ernor unless it be one absolutely ne
cessary to carry on the affairs of the
government, mutual disposition
made of appropriations to care for the
wards of the stute, the governor threw
a bombshell Into the legislature.
He sent a message in which he
charged the failure to get the big ap
propriation bills Into the legislature
to the chairman of the ways and
means committee.
Leaders state that there will be a
sufficient number who will remain
over if the executive is Inclined to be
intractable to deal with the situation,
The ways and means committee of
the house made a report, replying to
the message of the governor, in which
the members denied delaying appro
priation bills for political effect. They
declared they have already saved the
state $1,000,000 by the pruning pro
cess and expect to save a total of
$4,000,000.
8-Hour Bill It a Law.
Without umeudment and but few
dissenting votes, the so-called eight
hour day bill was passed by the house
on reconsideration. The bill also pass
ed the senate and was Blgned by Gov
ernor West.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$7000 for the two years between ses
sions of the legislature to take care
of the work of the commission which
is authorized to have,, charge. None
of the commissioners are to receirt
salaries, however.
Minimum Wage Bill Passed.
The house minimum wage bill pass,
ed the senate and bow becomes a law
unless vetoed by the governor.
Stated briefly, the minimum wage
bill provides for a commission of
three to be appointed by the governor,
consisting of one employer, one em
ploye and a third unbiased person.
On the commjqslon Is conferred sowar
ate imd speaker of the house.
- Sterilization Bill Passes.
With Just 16 votes, the number
needed for passage, the Lewelllng bill
for sterilization of habitual criminals,
moral degenerates and perverts went
to victory in the senate.
Dr. Owens Adair of Astoria, who
originated the bill and has lobbied for
it at succeeding sessions of the legis
lature, was a witness to its final suc-
ns, and she was Invited by Governor
West to be present ln his office when
he signed it last Saturday.
B0 Days' 8esslon Urged.
The house adopted a resolution di
recting the submission to the vote of
the people, at the next general elec
tion, a constitutional amendment
lengthening the session of the legis
lature from 40 to 50 actual working
days, and raising the pay of the legis
lators from $3 to $5 a day.
The house also adopted a compan
ion resolution directing that an am
endment be submitted to the vote of
the people providing that two sessions
shall be held a first session of 20
days, then a temporary adjournment,
and then an after-session, and per
manent adjournment. The reason for
the two is that It would give legis
lators more time to consider bills and
secure the sentiment of the people
with relation to measures submitted.
Referendum Date Is Set.
Day's bill, providing for a special
referendum election, to be held Sep
tember 2, passed the senate. It In
voked considerable debate, being ad
vocated warmly by Day, Moser,
Thompson, Bean and others and op
posed by McColloch, Miller and Neun
er. the bill carries an emergency
clause to prevent the possibility of
being Itself referred.
The object of calling the special
election is to prevent large projects
like the Panama-Pacific appropriation,
the workmen's compensation bill and
good roads and other Important pro
posals, from being held up for two
years.
Bull Moose Are Recognized.
The Bull Moose party will be able
to participate ln the primaries before
the city election in Portland under
the provisions of a bill that passed
the senate. This bill provides that
any political party casting 20 per cent
of the vote at the preceding election
may participate ln the primaries.
The bill also carries an emergency
clause which will allow the participa
tion in the Portland primaries.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Carson at the request of the Erogres-
holders as to his good moral character
and a permit from the circuit, county
or municipal judge.
It prevents the display of revolvers
in windows, requires a registration of
numbers and also requires dealers to
mak reports to sheriffs twice a
month as to sales,
Interest on Funds in Treasuries.
Should 11. B. 147 by Parsons, which
has Just passed the house, be enacted
into law, thousands of dollars will
pour into the coffers of county treas
urers in interest on county money,
for It provides that all funds shall be
deposited with a bank which will give
sound security for iU uaie keeping,
and that It shall draw 1 per cent In
terest. At the prpsent time banks
enjoy the use of this money without
paying Interest.
Fairs Left to Counties.
A bill by the committee on exposi
tions and fairs, providing for an an
nual tax levy of 20 mills for county
fairs, was passed by the bouse. It is
said it will do away with any appro
priations by the legislature. These
have been very bothersome and many
members wished to leave the fairs ln
