Reforming Legal Procedure.
In commenting upon the pro
posed reform in the court procedure
the Mcdford Mail-Tribune offers
the following criticism of the meth
ods thus far proposed to bring
about a change in existing condi
tions :
The legislature's idea of reform
in legal procedure evidently con
sists in dealing new judges and
raising their salaries. If bills now
pending become laws, approximate
ly SIOO.OUO for each biennial period
will be added to the taxpayers' bur
dens. No wonder people believe
that the governor and his veto are
good things.
'A bill which the governor vetoed
two years ago, which increased the
salaries of all circuit judges to
$1000 a year, has again passed and
is tip to the governor a second time.
Another bill increases the su
preme bench by adding two new
justices al $-1500 a year, with $6000
additional clerk hire, which adds
$.!0,00u to Ihc biennial cost of gov
ernment. There are bills providing
for the creation of six new circuit
judgeships, three of these in Mult
nomah county. The others create
new circuits out of l'olk, Yamhill
ami Lincoln counties for the new
Twelfth district, Washington and
Tillamook of the new Thirteenth,
ami Coos and furry of the new
Fourteenth. Then there is the ef
fort to separate Jackson and Jose
phine counties into two circuits.
hills are also pending to abolish
district attorneys anil create in
stead county attorneys, but while
the legislators believe in large sal
aries for judges, they have a poor
opinion id' district attorneys, as the
salaries provided run from M) to
?I5(KI. the average being S'lilO.
The bill abolishing countv judges
is a good one, but should provide
good salaries tor commissioners,
who should he required to devote
all their time to the work.

"Still more remarkable is the sit
uation in view of the fact that the

ly a slow-moving one. The anto

as some enu.hal-
ieally assert, the. the anion oliile
should appear many times, rather
than only 17 per cent more dan
gerous. "The fact of the matter is that
tile automobile while faster driven
is more carefully driven, more
carefully driven, more fjiiickly con
trollable, anil is equipped by the
I law with a warning signal.
1 he drunken or reckless driver
of either vehicle is equally danger
ous and equally a public enemy,
lint I think you will find that
among motorists a far greater pro
portion than among horse-drivers
have their vehicles always tinder
good control and absolutely subor
dinated to traffic conditions.
"Kven so, however, the number
of automobile fatalities is shock
ingly great. It should and can be
reduced. hie way is to secure still
more careful driving through a
more rigid examination for licenses.
Kqual, if not greater in importance,
is the necessity of an adequate
warning signal, one that roller
skating children will always hear
and obey in time. The law should
compel the proper use of such a
signal."
A Real Hero.
"Had we lived I should have had
a tale to tell of the hardihood, the
endurance and the courage of my
comuanions wln'cn would have
stirred the heart of every English
man. These lough notes and our
dead bodies must tell the tale. But
surely, surely, a great and rich
country like ours will see that those
who are dependent upon us arc
properly provided for."
These were the closing words of
he larcwell message of Captain
Robert F. Scott. Thus did the nota
ble liritish officer pay tribute to his
companions who had sacrificed
their lives in the search for the pole.
The first thought of Scott was
his men of those who had been
faithful and loyal to hint and to
the great project which they had
jointly undertaken. 1 le spoke not
of the courage of Scott, but of the
heroism of his companions. It was
not the hope of personal glory or
thought of personal gain which in
duced him to brave the perils of the
polar climate. If was patriotism. It
was because of loyalty to the lirit
ish nation and because any success
which might come as a result of his
labors would be considered a na
tional triumph
Compare the generous sentiments
of Scott with the intemperate state
ments credited to Commander
I Vary.
No eulogy was given his compan
ions by I Vary. With him it was
not a great national triumph. It
was a personal victory. I lis com
panions were given only casual
mention. 1 le insisted that they
should be content to bask in the re
flected glory of the commanding
ollicer. They were mere incidents
of the trip the same as the dogs that
.aiiieu mm across (lie icy lauds ol
the north
When his claim as the first dis
coverer of the pole was disputed, he
assailed the character of his rival.
I le was one of the first to call him
an imposter. lie could not divide
the honor with any human soul
even though it happened to be an
American citizen.

' he carpenter gang on the new
bridge went to v.uv at an early hour.
Capt. lirown of the for -y boat was
.':.v as many of the people of the lit
burs were wanting to take the last
trip on the old tub and several Linn
county tanners drove to the bridge
on each side to hear the order to
move onto the bridge.

The city people- were well represent

three years old to the men and wo
men of 80.
Among the men with smiling faces
we met on the streets of Corvallis
were Mr. V. E. Smith of the Re
publican. He was awfully busy and
lias a large force of hands all of whom
were busy too.
Mr. Dubruille was running the lino
type, and Miss Ina Chcsley was taking
notes from the telephone.
The iK'xt place we called at was the
large department store of Walter
Kline and found him and his 28 clerks
all busy. Mr. Kline had his coat off.
The next place was the drug store
on the corner of Jefferson and Sec
ond. Mr. Ilartsock was awfully busy
mixing pills, but was well pleased to
note the new bridge is completed, but
the boy scouts were all out on the
bridge so the shooting holes in the
ohl ferry will be postponed till some
future time.
Capl;.in Ilrown is now cmploj'cd on
the bridge to turn the span when the
steamboats go through, and he is sup
posed to walk back and forth through
the bridge with every team to show
the driver how fast to drive on the
iiciv structure.

FIRST AUTO PLOW IN VALLEY
Modern Piece of Machinery Is
Unloaded Here Today for
J.C. Tammen,the Owner.
That Ltnn county farmers arc pro

about seven miles so:;t?!--ve.st
of Albany who will nse this mo-t-rn
and up-to-date invention in breaking
the ground on his big farm.
The plow which was sent to Albany
on a flat car, attracted much atten
tion at the depot this morning. The
plow resembles an automobile in many
respects, having a steering wheel,
brakes, gears, and other bits of mech
anism similar to the modern motor
car.
The plow weighs several tons and
is equipped with a seat for the driver.
There are six wheels on the plow, a
guide wheel in front and one in the
rear, one large wide one on each side
and in the center, and two extra
wheels which can be easily attached.
The engine is 40 II. P. but can dc
elup more than this. The plow is
the Hackney Auto Plow and undoubt
edlv cost several thousand dollars.
The u ii i j lie and modern piece of
machinery is probably the first auto
plow to be placed in use in this part
of the state and promises to even
tually take the place of the horse
plows altogether.
