And the wondrous round of thi moon

Your wondorful eyes forever to

Ur-pILE time has oomo," says tho Stalcm Joiii'iinl, "to
liberate the supreme court from selfish interests,
political, or capitalistic, or socialistic." Then it adds: "The
two republicans and two democrats whose terms expire
this year should bo re-elected."
The Journal is malting an argument for a non-partisan
judiciary, and therefore, because two of the members of
the present supreme court are labeled republicans and two
are labeled democrats, calls it a "non-partisan" court and
urges its retention.
There is so little difference between republicans and
democrats nowadays that it is doubtful if oven the su
preme court could define it. What is a democrat? "What
is a republican1? Each party is split in irreconcilable fac
tions, and tho factious of each have more in common with
factions of the other party than with each other.
A greater danger in Oregon than partisan control (for
there are no party organizations in the state) is mossbaclt
control, and that is what's the trouble with the present
supreme court.
It is a greater misfortune to the progress of the state
to have small-minded men on the bench than it is to have
all of them wearing the label of one party.
It is a greater evil to have justices who will construe
the law one way one time to favor certain localities, and
reverse themselves a few days later by construing it an
other way for another locality, than it is to have all repub
licans or all democrats on the bench.
It is worse for Oregon to have a supreme bench that
will construe the constitution broadly to increase its own
membership and raise the salaries of its members, and the
next month construe it narrowly to block the development
of the state, than it is to have a court chosen from one po
litical party.
There is a greater danger in a court that will decide
in accord with the. prejudice of a reactionary environment
apparently to strengthen itself politically, than it is to
have one whose members all wear a common party label.
Not only should the supreme court be liberated from
selfish interests, political, capitalistic, or socialistic, as
the Journal suggests, but it should also be liberated from
mossbackism.
The way to eliminate the supreme court from selfish
interests and mossbackism is to elect a new set of justices
and it makes little difference what party they profess
allegiance to, if they are big, broad-minded men, capable
of growing with the natural expansion of Oregon.
The kind of a supreme court needed is one that inter
prets the law intelligently and fearlessly, one that be
lieves in equality before the law, one uninfluenced by sel
fish motives or public clamor, one that construes a narrow
constitution broadly to meet the needs of a growing state,
and, above all, always interprets the law so as to do justice,
despite the mazes of technicalities.
The present supreme court showed that it was actuated
by selfish motives when it interpreted the constitution so
as to permit of five justices at $4000 a year, when the con
stitution says three at $1500.
The present supreme court showed that it was unfair
and prejudiced when it sustained violations of the consti
tution permitting appropriations in the vicinity of the Wil
lamette valley sections and held illegal appropriations for
public improvement in southern Oregon, as in the Crater
Lake highwaj" case.
The present supreme court proved that it was unfit for
re-election when, in the language of one of its own mem
bers, it established one law for northwestern Oregon and
another law for southern Oregon.
Only one member of tho present supreme court proved
himself big enough for the job, Justice King, who has on
many occasions had to differ from his associates. No mat
ter what his politics are, he alone is big enough for the job
and should be re-elected.
Mossbackism has long been the curse of Oregon. There
is no better way to perpetuate it than by re-electing the
present court as a whole.
Yes, the time has come to liberate the supreme court
and the people as well, and the way to do it is to elect three
new justices.

dict that in ten years these lands will
be in as groat demand as that on
Hood river in Oregon 'and near Grand
Junction in Colorndo.
"Only tho favored spots near Sis
son havo been utilized," continued
Mr. Schulor, "That is where- water
was easily accessible whore tho land
can bo covered by a ditch nt little
expense, uiit water is cioso to tno
surface all around hero, Pumping
is a small item of expense compared
to tho great profit to bo derived from
