An Evasion and a Snare.

Rumors that the anti-pass reaolu-
ton would be reported by substi-
tute providing for doubling the sal
aries OF members Of the legislature
are verified. OF this action the Mil
wauke e Journal but mildly expresses
the popular judgment when it says:
The substitute reported by the ma
jority of the Judiciary committee OF
the assembly is an evasion and a
snare. It provides that the salary
of the members shall be raised from
$500 to $1,000, and then they shall
forego passes. Incidentally, this puts
a value of $500 on the passes of the
members. Yet they claim that passes
have no influence upon legislation.
But the defect Of the substitute IS
first, that it couples two questions IN
one proposition, not permitting the
voter to support the one and reject
the other If he feels So disposed,
And, second, it only abolishes the
pass system as applied to the legtsla-
ture, whereas the Legislative part of
the evil, even at $500 to each member,
is but small part of the wrong COM
planned Of. The granting Of passes to
any other officers is just as wrong as
to furnish them to the legislature
The whole system is a bulwark Of
corruption, and wrong to the people
and to the corporations. The COM
Imittee covers small but conspicuous
part, and leaves the main carcass un-
buried. This viii never 90.
"The purpose of the proposed
amendment is to impose a dilemma
upon the voters. II the amendment
IS rejected ON accounted the increase
in the salaries, they will claim inn
munity for the passes by the same
vote. If the amendment Ia adopted
! it will give them fine salary and
leave the pass system in full force in
/ all other directions. Neither result
Is what il wanted by any one on
| either side. 1t is not even decent
compromise. II there were no other
proof Of the corrupt influence Of
passes, this action Of the committee
would be sufficient to prove it, 1t
1 rcmams for the people to stand firm
for complete reform; nothing less
will do. IT necessary this amend
meut should be defeated at the polls,
as it is evidently intended it shall be.
/ The agitation must be made stronger
aud on broader grounds till the whole
evil is wiped out, The people do not
yet comprehend the power Of the
pass system, its corruption or the
/ hold it has In every nook and Granny
Of our official system. This action Of
the Judiciary committee may open
their eyes to part Of it, Here is the
result Of a distinct party promise
and years Of agitation, summarized
in a fraud on the intelligence Of the
people ia the form Of a trick TO do the
people at the polls out Of what has
been demanded by all, and promised
formally by the party in power

ONE Of the most needed bits OF
legislation proposed at Madison this
winter is one providing that when
proposed amendments to the state
constitution are submitted to the
people, the substance Of the proposed
amendments shall be printed on the
official ballot. Under the rule now
prevailing the voters as whole do
not know what the proposed amend
mcnt is. and therefore decline to vote
upon it. Had the people been fully
informed as to the import of the
amendment submitted last fall, to
allow a fair salary to the state Supt.
of Schools. we believe it would have
been carried. There is an amend
ment to be voted on at the election
next Tuesday. Not quarter OF the
people know what the nature Of the
proposed amendment is, and hence
the vote upon it will not be any ex-
preston Of popular judgment. See
notice by Sec'y of State relation to it.,
in this paper.

THE COUNTY JUDGESHIP.

county Judge for four years begin,
ming January |, 1893. Indications
are that George r.. Whitman will be
elected, because his competency, hon
esty and manly worth will command
the votes. Because he is man OF
the people, having that
"T0uch of nature which makes the whole
world kin
The only arguments advanced in
behalf Of Mr.. WhitInan's opponent
are, more years Of life and longer
practice IA an attorney. Neither Of
these has any force except to illus
trate the absence Of valid objections
to Mr. Whitman. He is 30 years Of
age-as old as LaFollette was when
first elected 10 congress; but little
younger than Clementson was when
first called TO the circuit bench, and
their administrations prove that q
man need not be old in years to ably
fill important stations. Mr.. Whit
man has had four years experience
as district attorney, a good training
school for a county judge, following
thorough education in the law de-
partmeut Of the state university. No
man has ever entered upon the du-
ties of county Judge in this county
better prepared by education and ex-
perience than Mr.. Whitman il today.
As district attorney he was efficient
and disrrctc. and made as few mis-
takes Il. any man who ever occupied
