A Fusion Disgrace.

Private letters and press des
patches state that the Free Home.
Memorial introduced by Senator
Stacy in the senate and championed
by Representative Hanlon in the
house is bitterly opposed by the
fusion majority. The opposition
to this measure is a serions mis-
fortune at this time. A division
in this state is very dangerous
The fate of the issue in congress
depends upon unanimity here.
The measure passed the senate
as all emergency measure and If it
could have been rushed right
through and on to Washington
there is every reason to believe
free homes for our reservation set
tiers could have been secured be-
fore the present congress adjourns.
The opposition was a factional one.
The fusionists stood together for
the defeat of the measure because
it was republican. When vital
home interests are at stake party
lines should be torn down.
The reservation first, the county
next, and then the whole state is
menaced by the impending In
justice of homesteaders being CON-
pelIed TO pay for the privilege Of
redeeming the public domain from
the wilderness. The payment of
a million dollars by these farmers
within two years means mortgages,
debts and disaster where fortune
has smiled and promised bounties
for three years.
This issue is above politics. The
people of the whole northwest

1t is almost a universal ex.
|peiience that the districts Of every
country that are devoted to mixed
farming are the most prosperous.
The reason for the Lewiston valley
prosperity during the hard times
past is in the fact that farming was
mixed more in this valley than in
any other part of the great north.
west. The people were forced
into this condition by these Ell.
vironments. The wheat business
received set back by a series of
partial failures and this branch
was also retarded by the poor ship.
ping facilities under the old regime.
1t is regretable, however, that a
tenancy prevails at this time to
fall into the exclusive line of wheat
culture. The prices have been
good and the yields in this valley
have been large. Some fortunes
have been made in the past two
years and the promises are bright
for the future; but the safe, con-
sentative plan is diversified farm
ing, and until it is a general pratice
the business of the country will
not be entirely safe.

A False Record.

The legislature is evidently
guided by the supreme court de
cision in the fee bill rather than
by the strict construction of the
constitution, in this work of re
enactment of the dead laws. The
supreme court not only held that
the bills to become laws must be
read three times. but that the
journal must show that they were
SO read. The house seems to dts.
regard the spirit of the discussion
and the letter Of the constitution,
and rely upon the journal record
The constitution prescribes the
course of these readings for every
bill before it becomes a law, except
in case Of emergency, and the 81
preme court has defined this
emergency clause to mean a physi-
cal emergency apparent to all ,
such as war or imminent disaster
to persons or property of citizens,
With the decision in the fee bill
case on record as a precedent the
revived statutes that are now being
hurried through the Legislative
mill, are in danger. The fact that
the journal is deliberately falsified
so as to read that the bills were
read three times and passed, does
not cover the moral facts in the
case, and it will not be illogical
for the supreme court to hold all
the work of re-enacting Of old laws
under this form as unconstitutional.
There is no provision under the
constitution for reading a bill by
title, only under the emergency
exception to the provision, and
the emergency under the supreme
court construction does not exist
in this instance. rhe evident
meaning of the constitution is that
all bills shall be read three times
with the one exception Of a physi-
cal emergency.
Why should our lawmakers
leave this question open. There
may exist a tentative understand
ing that false entry in the jour
nal of the lawmaking body will
cover up forever the real fact that
the constitution has been violated
for all time. Aside from the moral
consideration of a false entry in the
records of the proceedings deliber-
ately made and passed from day to
day, there is surely an element OF
danger that all the state laws, in
stead Of part Of them, are being
placed upon very high stills that
may be knocked from under the
structure at one blow. Why not
read the laws three times, and
make record honest. and give the
laws Of the state a sound constitu-
tional foundation?
