jury bribing and facilitate the work Of
the courts 1t only applies to ocvil cases.

Several snap-hunters had a bill in
troduced in the legislature asking to
create several more judicial districts in
this state. We are plad.to note that our
joint senator and representative voted
against the bill. Judge Bradshaw, Of
the 7th judicial district, which includes
Wasco, sherman, Crook, Gillian and
Morrow counties, SAYS he is abundantly
able 10 look after this territory. Judge
Bradshaw is willing to work hard to
earn his salary, and the taxpayers feel
very kindly toward him. He is not the
kind of official that wants nothing TO do
but draw u salary,
We believe our joint senator and rep
resentatiye have too good Judgment TO
vote for the state appropriating any
money for so-called graded, normal or
state schools. 1t is an abuse that ought
to be knocked in the head" at once.
