Now If It is desirable to make any change why not enlarge some of throe districts where there is little lit igation or else detail those Judges to aid In the work where It is more con gested. It la the view of the East Oregonlan there is no earthly reason for eight new circuit Judges in Oregon and if that bill is adopted the people w ill be getting a queer brand of economj from the legislature.

Consequently the bill introduced before the legislature to increase the number of circuit Judges by adding eifcht Judges at annual salaries of $4000 each may well be questioned. Such a bill would cost the state $32, 000 a year, not merely for one year but for each year to come.

A ypar or more ago the peo ple of the state stampeded to pass a law which violated the treaty obllga tions of the United States with Ja pan. The Justification was that the Japanese were grabbing lands of the Golden Gate state at an alarming rate. But what are the facts. The Japanese have been acquiring ' land for ten years and now own 12.726 acres and have under lease 17 598 acres. It Is figured that it would take 84,450 years and a few months more for the Japanese to get possession of the state of California at the present rate. There is nothing like facts to put at reht groundless fears. KKECUTIVE SALARIES. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) When you reflect that the Amerl- In the general opportunity the Eu- has brought the United States to increase its South American trade, and, at the same time, to knit bonds of interest between Itself and the twenty South American republics, the counties of the Caribbean form a vitally increasing phase. It is pecul iarly desirable that the Panama canal a most Important national Investment, shall be surrounded by prosperous countries, possessing stable and friend ly governments. William Joseph Showalter, In a survey made for the National Geographic Society, points out that Central America is of great potential richness: that It deserves much from the war-awakened deter mlnatlon on the part of United States business to expand in Latin-America, and that good government alone Is needful to turn this region Into one of the earth's most favored. He writes: "Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cu ba and the neighboring Islands are rich In natural resources almost be yond Imagination. Nowhere else In the world has nature been more bountiful In her blessings than in the Caribbean region. Everything that her treasure house holds has been be-, stowed here with lavish hand.

Bears the ;ig nature "Honduras, poor, badly administer ed and undeveloped, is, nevertheless, blessed beyond measure In natural re sources. It has vast deposits of min erals untold thousands of acres of the finest tropical fruit and vegetable lands of the world, and great areas of magnificent coffee and grazing lands. With a stable government It must be come a land of plenty. Salvador, across tho bordur, Is prosperous. Al though containing only 7225 square miles, it supports nearly 2,000,000 people in comfort and returns a bal ance of trade of about $3,600,000 a year. Nicaragua, like Honduras, Is a poor land, teeming with resources and revolutions, undeveloped, unset tled and hopeless. "In Costa Rica, Cuba, Panama and the Dominican republic, all possessing marvelously productive orchard and farm lands, wealthy In their outputs of sugar, tropical fruits, coffee and various cabinet woods, every prepara tion la being made to take advantage of the trade opportunities that these countries expect to derive from the Panama canal. Everywhere in the Carrluean countries there is anticipa tion that the canal Is going to bring in a great stream of capital for devel opment purposes, and that an era of unprecedented growth and expansion will result. In aiding these countries to realize their expectations, the Uni ted States will not only open up a rich field for Its own products but also will strengthen the community interest with the neighbors at Us gate, whose lands surround the vitulity Important canal. "United States has already a large and growing share of the trade of the Caribbean lands. In Guatemala, Hon duras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Pana ma, Cuba, the Dominican republic and Haiti the Imports from the United States represent more than one-half of all the Imports Into the countries. The greater part of the export of these countries Is sent to the Unlteu States. The great trade competitors of this country in the markets of South America have been Great Brit ain and Germany, but their competl tlon was never as effective in Carib bean lands as It was farther to the south. "The total foreign trade of South) America In 1913 was valued at $2, 864, 876,244. While this Is not large In proportion to population, and on the other hand Is decidedly small In comparison with the volume of for eign trade of many other countries (being but little larger than that of Holland), the possibilities are shown by the statement that when South America becomes as large a per capita buyer In the markets of the world as Cuba Is today, It will de mand imports worth $2,000,000,000 annually, and when it has as much to sell per capita as Cuba has today. It will have an export business worth $2,250,000,000 annually. "But backward as South America is in its foreign trade, It Is by no means as backward as Central Amer ica. The volume of the exports of the six countries which constitute Central America Is smaller In proportion to area than those of any other regldn of like size and resources In the new world. How small It actually Is may bo Illustrated by another comparison with Cuba's foreign trade. Having a population five times as great as that of Cuba, the six Central Ameri can states buy only a third as much In the markets of the world as the Island republic; and they sell only one-fourth ns much as Cuba. "Their per capita Imports, there fore, are only about one-fifteenth as largo as thoso of Cuba, and their per capita exports only one-twentieth as large. Yet no one thinks that Cuba has reached tho fullness of Its possl blllttes, and no one believes that Cen tral America, once It becomes fully developed, will fall to show a larger foreign trade per capita than Cuba shows today." what Is the coat, per ton, of factory Pies, such as city folks eat habitual ly and farmers eat occasionally at quick lunch places, and will a hog eat that kind of pies? THE IME-FED IMG. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) "Charles Spray, a farmer near here marketed a 6-months-old pig In this city today which weighed 450 pounds. At birth the pig was a weakling and was raised In the Spray home, where It was fed pies, cakes and other food from the family table. Tho pig was totally bling because of flesh that had grown down over Its eyes; and It had not stood on Its feet for two months." (Correspondence from Columbus, Ind.) Slowly, but surely, the true nature of the pig Is being revealed. The Im pression used to be that the hog's ap petite needed no encouragement and that his health needed no protection. "As healthy as a pig," Is, In all coun tries, an accepted figure of speech. "The digestion of a hog" and "the appetite of a hog" referred for a long time to the supposed facts that were unchallenged. Hog raisers will not he content to know that a 6-monthsold pig fed up on pie weighed 460 pounds, couldn't walk and couldn't see, and didn't care, so lonjf as the pie held out. They will want to know how many pies a day are required to produce such remarkable results, and wheth er or not It Is necessary to keep the pig In tho dining room. Would it bo ns agreeable to him In tho spare room or the parlor If the dining room Is used by the family as a living room and nursery and Is crowded? And WHERE TREITSCUKE TAUGHT. (Manchester Guardian.) Since the world Is pretty well agreed that the teachings of Trelt schke aro largey responsible for the present war, there Is a certain his toric Justice in the raid of the French aviators on Freiburg. For It was In Freiburg that Treltschke did much of his techlng. He was appointed by the government of Baden deputy pro fessor of political science there In 1S63. His lectures attracted great at tentlon, not only In the university but In tho town, by their fiery eloquence and fertility of thought. Like the philosophical lectures of Prof. Berg son of today, they Interested women as well as men, and the ladles of Frlo burg learned the deaf and dumb al phabet for his benefit. Fbr Trlet Bchka wns quite deaf for the greater part of his life. It was in Freiburg that Treltschke met the woman who afterward became his wife. No lU-wnes, Eithor.
