In the tlrnt m e If the direct pri mary Is good this is better in that it docH not have a candidate for an of fli e to go before the people in one election and be opposed by the un siKcciifiil i.indldate and his friends In the general election. In many cases amounting to the reversal of the peo ple' (hobo in the primaries. In fact every independent candidate for of fice against the regular nominee is a repudiation of the principle that the people should nominate and t-lect their own officers. And aa roKards to obliterating par ty lines, by my bill the reverse Is true, as under the direct primary with two elections the members of one party can vote In the nomination election by falsely registering as a member of that party and In the elec tion vote against him. My bill makes the nomination and election by the people direct and Is the only way that guih nominations can be made and the will of the people carried into effect. This bill makes nominations and elections direct and saves the ex pense of two elections, amounting to t-oniethlng like $:. "00 to the tax payers of Oregon each election yeac, an Item well worth considering. And Fulled States Senator Harry Lane in his speech before the joint M'svlon of the legislature, said such a eieasiit'c was a proper measure, and ::ftcrwanl I asked him about my bill and he said it was a nood bill, but ought to have a second choke provis ion.

To the l-Mltor of tho Courier: An effort Is being made to dls redlt the attempt to get a Judicial disiriei comprising Josephine and Curry counties by circulating a petition based upon a law that has been in troduced providing for a judge of the court calling a member of the bar to hold court In certain cases. 1 hope nobody will be deceived by this subterfuge. This county has been tacked onto Jackson county for fifty years. If the conditions were re versed how long would Jackson county wail before she would ask for a separate Judicial district? The lit tle opposition to tho bill for the ju dicial district seems to center about a fight on who is to bo judge. This Is too unworthy to receive tho con sideration of any person. ft seems it is impossible to start any question for tho benefit of this community without degenerating Into a flght over somebody's personal interest In the matter. Personally I have been charged with fathering tho bill to build up a political machine. This is a lie almost too absurd to be noticed. I desire to say that I have no candidate for tho office of judge. 1 am not a candidate under any cir cumstances and I am willing to en dorse as far as my influence goes any one of a half dozen lawyers in this town. To get up a controversy at this time over who might be Judge Is too petty and small to bo considered The r real Ion of Judicial district as out lined In the bill Introduced would save this county and litigants thous ands upon thousands of dollars. The compensation of tho officers would be paid out of the state treasury and the cost to Josephine county would not exceed $7 f0 per month. People who come here from other places wonder why we have no Judge of our court of record here One of the (HM things thr ask at the court house is who Is i"-ir Judge, and we hae to tell them that our judco lives In -hl.md It give people an Idea that this Is a very small community Ith v. ry little business 1 trust t!r cveiv pe-vn who be- "'-s mi tlie p: ogress of this iotv mc.i :t v ;! sign the petition for a ' : !. iV. .!;-M 1, t. an 1 :'! n, t !v h. -i' ,1 1 ! ! e ; ,-t . .'. ;. :e t ! r m e'.i to ',-e fe-t- r. 1 t- r p !

The b.ll pro vides for tb! ireation of the Twelttii Judicial dist-ht whiih shall com prise Jo-ephine and Curry couii'ics' that upon tho ad taking ffect the Jf'ivernor shall appoint a jndne and prosecuting attorney who shall serve until the general election in I'Jlt; that the terms of court shall be aa follows: In Josephine on the first Monday of the mouth, except the months of May and August, and in Curry on the first Monday of May and third Monday In September of each year; that a jury shall be drawn in Josephine county only at such terms as may be designated by the Judge, not less than two in each year. Curry and Josephine are the two southwestern counties In the Mate and the means of road coiiununlcv tion between the two are now- liefer than that to any other county. The judicial district as it now exists r.as more business than one Judge o .-h' to be required to attend to or wli ran, and If a new district is create! It will keep one judge busy to at'en I to the business of Josephine and Curry counties. One objection heard is, that it will Increase taxation, it will, to the extent of ninety-six dol lar per annum for Josephine county. It must be remembered that the state pays the salaries of judges and pro secuting attorneys, and if a judge a iw prosecuting attorney be appoint ed for this proposed new district Josephine county's proportion of in crease toward the payment of their salaries will amount to JOtl.DO per annum. Another matter which should have the attention of the members of the legislature Is an amendment to the present fish law. The closing of Uogue Hlver was due to the fea' on the part of a dozen fly fishermen In Jackson county that Hogue river was being depleted of its fish. With out regard to tho rights of others, the bill to close Hogue river was in itiated and adopted by the people ri the state at large. As an illustra tion of how the vote stood Clackamas county gave an enormous majority for it as did also Wallowa, the north eastern county of the state. In that county the vote was almost unanim ous in favor of the bill, and what the good citizens of Wallowa county could know concerning the condi tions in the three southwestern coun ties of the state, eight hundred miles removed by rail, one can hardly im agine. The hill, however, should be amended or repealed, and If Jackson county does not care to permit com mercial fishing within its territory a bill should be enacted providing for commercial fishing In Josephine and Curry counties. Another piece of legislation which is needed in Josephine county u par ticular Is one Klving cities and towns the right to condemn lands for the purpose of constructing railroads, telephone and telegraph lines owned or constructed by them, and It is al together likely that (irants Pass will need such legislation to enable it to secure right-of-way over which to construct Its proposed road towards tho coast. I think this and some other legislation Is vital to the in terest of Josephine couuty and to the end It may have the support which it deserves, a meeting will be held at tho opera house on Monday evening. January '.'7. 1913. at half past seven o'clock Other announcements of this meeting will Ihv made and I hope the house may be filled with the representative people of the city and county when a discussion of the mat ters may be had.
