Needed Reforms.

The Illinois State Bar association held
its fifteenth annual meeting in Chicago
recently. In his address Judge Riggs
advocated several reforms in the laws
| of the state.
The first of these was a revision of the reve-
| 1ue laws. He contended that the property re
turns of the state showed that not one-t third of
| the property was assessed OF taxed. The state
! board Of equalization was poweriess to reach
| the evil, which was individual rascality There
| Is also an imperative demand for better laws
| concerning the transfer and registering of land
| titles. He dwelt at length on the necessity for
laws governing the admission of people to the
| bar. 1t was ungracous thing, ap-
parenty, for the bar to keep others
from entering it, but the duty
was imperative and unavoidable. 1t
was necessary that admission should be regu-
lated by law and be uniform. He devoted CON
siderable time to ''the laws delay" The length
CT law suits In this state was from one and a
half years to six years, which he Thought was
scandalous. Out Of the 1n2 counties in the state
forty one had only three terms of court year
and fifty two only two year. The consequence
was that even when there were no dlatory tao
tics suits often lasted five years. Prisoners
often lay in Jail year waiting for trial He rec
commended the consolidation of the county and
circuit courts and term of court every month
be elected for the appellate courts only, and sit
monthly, and that the supreme court should sit
monthly and in the same place.
Illinois December Crop Reports.
Advance sheets of the Illinois trOt
report of the state board of agriculture

That the farmers of the stat have been pros
porous during the past year, Figures on the
corn and wheat crops have already been pub
lished, the report showing an aggregate profit
on corn of S32. .102 80 against Sl8 800 $40 for the
preceding year. The report shows that the
area devoted to rye was 11,9l4 acres per
cent. less than in ls0Q and that on account of
the drought during the fall, unless there is a
big improvement between this time and har-
vest there will not b. over three -fourths of an
average yield per acre.
The area devoted to Irish potatoes was l0324S
acres. producing an average of III bushels per
acre, making total yield of II, ,524 6lS bushels
AT che prevailing pisce December which was

UNLESS the democrats Of Kootena
county wish to shoulder the Minis
infamy upon the party as a whole,
they should call a meeting of their
county central committee at once
and depose their would-be ballot
box stuffer and election fraud prac-
ticer of a chairman. AS long as
Minis is chairman of the committee
he is virtually the head of the party.
Leave him in that position, demo
Gratis, and you endorse his methods.
The democrats should not be in
clined to do so and can not
afford to do so if they are.

IT is one of the hardest things
the HERALD has to do to say a word
against man who had the high
standing in the community that
Judge Hoban had, but it is putting
it mild to say that the feeling will
not down on account Of the Judges
decision in the Minis case. TO his
credit let it be said that he acznowl-
edges that he made a mistake.
Had the ex-ruler Of the Panhandle
made such a decision, with his
past record, the Lord only knows
what would have happened.

IT is reported that the U. 5. grand
jury will investigate the Minis cleo
ton fraud. We hope this is true.
There has not been a day since the
time of election but what same new
evidence has been developed to show
that Minis proposed to practice ev-
cry infamy imaginable to carry the
election. He tried the bogus ticket
racket at Ceur d Alene and Semi
aquotenne, and purchased extra
ballot boxes for other points. Can
the people afford to let him go un-
punished? How can decent demo
Gratis afford to let such stigma RES
upon their party? They should BE-
the first to take action in the matter
There is sufficient evidence to senC
Minis to the penitentiary, but let i
be understood right here, that there
are others implicated who are ne
better than Minis.

kooTENA's MANY LEGISLATORS.

NOO lENRi . WANT EE6lSLA OHos
If talk goes for any thing there
is a pretty legislative mess in Koot-
enai county. No less than seven or
eight men will go to Boise this win
ter claiming seats in the legislature,
and the returns are not all in yet.
First, Fred L. Burgan, having re-
ceived the highest number Of votes
for joint senator, will claim that
seat.
VIM. J. Quirk having received
the highest number Of votes in
Kootenai county for joint senator,
will contest Mr.. Burgan's seat on
the ground that the legislative APP
portionment is valid, and that if
tIhe governor is sustained, he is en-
Titled to the seat.
Andrew J. Hopper claims the
S eat of joint representative Of Koot-
q mai and Latah by virtue of having
RI ceived the highest number of votes
for that office.
A. A. Crane will claim a seat in
Il he house on account of having the
highest number of votes for repre-
sentative in Kootenai county.
Albert Hagan also claims a seat
in the house. He argues that the
legislative apportionment is right,
al d that Kootenai county is entitled
to two representatives. He having
the second highest number of votes
claims a seat.
John Donahoe asks for a seat on
the grounds that he was nominated
for representative straight; that he
was so certified to the recorder and
ran in accordance Herewith and
that if the legislative apportion-
m ent holds, he is entitled to the
Sc ond seat.
Arthur B. Baines claims a seat on
&C count of having been the only
candidate in the field for the addi-
tisnal seat to which Kootenai coun-
ty is entitled if the governor is sus-
tanned. He received a few votes
for that office.
Quirk, Donahoe and Hagan are
democrats, while Burgan, Hopper,
Crane and Baines are republicans.
The chances are that the consti-
tutional apportionment will be fol-
lowed in which event Burgan
Crane and Hopper are sure of their
seats. But in the event that the
legislative apportionment is fol
lowed the complications that would
arise would be many, and some o
them would be unique.
