ASSOCIATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year, In advance ...............SI .30 Six months, in advance ................ Tliree months, in advance................ ho The Boise Statesman is con siderably worried over the report 4hut President Wilson is going to occupy his office in the capitol building in order to keep in touch with pending legislation, fearing that the legislative and executive branches of the government will get mixed up. This desire on the part of the Boise paper to pre serve inviolate the constituioual provision dividing the government into three departments does it credit, and certainly some danger exists along the line here indi cated It cannot be denied that under republican administration this provision of the constitution has been "■ore honored in the breech than the obsperyance. Passing lightly over Teddy and his Big Stick and the act of Taft in withholding federal patronage from the reculcitraut progressive senators in order to bring them to terms, the attention of the States man is called to the act of the U. S. supreme court in deliberately changing the intent of the anti trust law, thus usurping the func tions of the legislative depart ment; also the unconstitutional acts of the Idaho supreme court in its recent contempt case. In its role of preserver of the const! tutiou the Statesman should not overlook these direct violations thereof. One of President Taft’s last of ficial acts was to veto the Webb bill to prevent the interstate ship ment of liquor into dry territory The reason given for this action was that he believed the law to be unconstitutional. The bill was immediately passed by both houses of congress over the pres ident’s veto and is now a law Under the circumstances, one can’t help wondering if the presi dent gave the true reason for his action. Many able lawyers in congress declared the law to be constituional. Why could not the president have let it take its chances in the courts, as other laws are compelled to do? I f he Were so anxious to prevent the passage of unconstitutional laws Why did he not veto the news paper publicity bill. So much doubt exists concerning the constitutionality of this law that Mr. Taft’s own post master general had agreed not to enforce it until the supreme court had passed upon it. Yet it was enacted into law without the pres idential veto. The ways of states men are beyond comprehension. The editor of the Middleton Herald has traded off that newsy little Bheet for a five-acre fruit tract and announces that "we ex pect to give up newspaper life for good unless circumstances drive ns to it again.” Far be it from ns to discourage our worthy brother in his laudable ambition to become a useful member of society instead of a mere parasite thereon but we will wager that he will be back in the news paper harness in a year or two. A few rounds with the aphis, cod- lin moth, commission men and numerous other pests connected with the fruit industry will con vince him that he has mistaken his calling. $ # # # # # ?§ that the jest of today may be the gospel of tomorrow?” Ontario Democrat: The Gate City Journal moved the machine shops and round houses from Vale to NyssA last week and as usual placed Onturso seven miles off the map. The Enterprise will be kept busy this week moving the shops back to Vale. Silver City is soon to have a moving picture show. It is grati fying to note this indisputable evidence of the advance of our neighboring city toward a higher civilization. District Attorney Brooke will have a portion of his duties cut off under the operation of the uew county attorney law passed by the last legislature. IN R E ST R A IN T . Fifteen representatives of Port land commission houses pleaded guilty in the federal court yester day to having engaged in an un lawful restraint of trade. One feature of the offense to which they confess was the diverting of tramp cars of vegetables, fruits and produce from arriving in Port land, They kept the tramp cars out in order to hold up prices. Their pleas of guilty are also an admission of the government’s charge that their combination dis criminated against independent dealers. They paid fines aggre gating $8500, the largest individual fine being $1250, and the next highest $1000. Equally significant is the an nouncement that huge quantities of fruit and vegetables tit for food are being burned at the garbage incinerator in an effort by dealers to mantain such food stuffs at high prices. Asparagus, oranges and canta loupes have been delivered at the incinerator in perfect condition. Quantities of them have been removed from the barbage anc. sent by Superintendent Oti« free of charge to Portland families by whom the products were eagerly consumed. Last summer a quantity of Walla W alla asparagus reached the crematory in perfect condition, just as it had been packed. It was distributed to the B aby home, the hospitals and other institu tions. The statement of the sup erintendent is that enough whole some beans, onions, celery, pota toes, asyaragus, apples and other fruits are destroyed at the inciner ator to feed a small army. The burning of these foodstuffs is a moral crime. It should be a crime under the laws of Oregon. There onght to be in this state a Sherman law for punishing con spiracies in restraint of trade. Why did the house and why did the senate at Salem so quickly and so effectively chloroform every anti-trust bill proposed What is a legislature for, if not to enact laws to punish men for burning foodstuffs when so many people are h u n g ry ?— Portland Journal.
