Has Great Power-
The president of the United States has the power
to remove a postmaster without hearing and with
out the consent of the senate which confirms his
appointment This is the conclusion of the supreme
court of the United States and it is of unusual im
portance.
1 - *
The late President Woodrow Wilson, removed
Prank 8. Myers as postmaster at Portland, Ore.,
and the latter brought suit to recover back pay for
the period of his appointment, claiming he was re
moved from office without hearing and without the
consent of the senate.
- It is the conclusion of the supreme court tliat
the 1867 tenure of office-act, passed to prevent the
president from removing certain postmasters, is
unconstitutional. The court was not unanimous in
its decision, which was written by a former presi
dent of the United States, Chief Justice Taft.
Minority members of the court hold the decis
ions to be revolutionary in character and places in
jeopardy even* appointee of the president, not only
)>ostinasters, bait those who are serving on govern
ment I wards mid commissions as well us holding
various federal offices.
While the power of a president is great, it
seems very doubtful if the constitution conveys to
the nation’s chief executive the power to remove
appointees without cause and without hearing, par
ticularly that class where the consent of the senate
is necessary to confirm the oppointment.
The supreme court of the United States, how
ever, takes quite a different view and its decision
must stand as the law of the land. Under it a
president lias in his hands a great power which,
if used improperly, could and would do greut harm
to the country.

With people generally demanding more pay rolls
for the city of Ashland it soema peculiar that we
do not fully realize that we have an’ enormous pay
roll right at our very door, and loudly knocking to
get in.
This latent ini pay roll would provide money to
be spent in Ashland 365 days in the year. It would
matter little what the weather might be, what the
local demand for the product was, or any other con
ditions that might interefere ordinarily with pay
polls, and perhaps the« finest thing about this is,
that it would not require very much money to put it
over, it would not require a solicitation of funds,
from business houses, it would not involve a stock
selling campaign, but it would necessitate some hard
work on the part of those who are interested in see
ing Ashland grow.
This pay roll is the poultry industry. Those who
know, have said repeatedly ih at Ashland presents
the best natural resources for poultry raising and
its resultant egg production, on the coast. The
granite in the soil, the ability to grow your qwn
feed, are both contributing factors to making this
a positive fact.
In California, southern California in particular
can be found large projects devoted entirely to
poultry. Acres of ground have been subdivided into
poultry ranches. It is claimed that independence
can be attained on five acres aud a lot of other things
are held out to the prospective poultryman. They
are getting results, they are attracting many to
their projects, simply by telling them of the possi
bilities that exist, by doing some effective advertis-
It would seem only logical, that if they with
their high priced laud, their great cost of feed, and
many qther'di sad vantages, can still make this'a pro
fitable industry, that" we here with the many natural
advantages with which we are blessed, would put
forth a little effort, we too could begin Ho realize our
