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.

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

A clergyman of Philadelphia
has written a number of promi

to what would happen if Christ
were a member of President Wil

Following are
some of the replies received:

capital needed.

The
consensus
of
opinion
of these eminent men seems to be
that Christ would not find the
surroundings in the cabinet very
congenial, but of course their
opinions are based upon the ac
tions of previous cabinets, and it
must be admitted that they have
good grounds for their belief. The
present cabinet has not been in
office long enough to permit of a
reliable judgment regarding it
being formed.
