Judge Beatty Resigns.

Hon. James H. Beatty, having
arrived at that age when he may
retire, has sent notice to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the effect that he
wishes to be relieved of the duties
of judge of the United States court
of the district of Idaho between
now and March 4. The news OF
Judge Beatty's resignation will
cause deep regret throughout the
state. He was appointed by Presi-
dent Harrison March 7, 1891, and
for 10 years has been one OF the
ablest, cleanest, fairest judges on
the federal bench. Judge Beatty

II it is true that only per cent
of the freight carried by the Oregon
Short Line is strictly state traffic,
or traffic over which a railroad
commission would have iurisdic-
1ion, would a commission, at an
annual expense to the state of at
least 5000 be able to save the
people of the state that amount in
freight rates? II Idaho had net
work of railroads and the traffic
carried by them was largely state
traffic, the situation would be en-
fiTely different and a commission
might then be able to accomplish
enough good to offset its cost to

About the quickest and best way
for the Idaho solons to put an end to
agitation over the anti pass bill
now before the legislature, would
be for them 20 enact a measure
COMPELLING railroads to furnish
all state and county officials with
annual passes. Now that may seem
to be absurd to many but really we
think il would be the most sensible
way of settling the question. IL
would be going directly contrary
to the plank in the state platform,
but if such a law was enacted,
before the time comes for adopt
ing another platform the wisdom oil
this law would become so firmly
established in the minds of every
body that even our democratic
friends would be compelled to
''point with PRIDE to this wise
and judicious legislation enacted
by a republican legislature. With
law compelling railroad compa-
mics to give annual passes to MEM
bcrs of the legislature, state and
county officials, these officials
would be under no obligations,
whatever, to the railroad compa-
MES, for passes would then, in no
sense, be looked upon as favors, and
the people could never say that the
acts of legislators or state officials
were influenced by the fact that
these officials rode on passes. Then
such a law would save the state
( thousands of dollars annually which
must be paid to officials whose
duties require them to travel about
the state, if they are compelled to
pay railroad fare.' With passes
prohibited, you must either raise
the salaries or provide sufficient
sum for travelling expenses. The
people do not expect that sheriff,
who is called upon to make trip tc
some distant part OF his state to Sc
cure a criminal, shall pay his rail-
road fare out of his salary. Sup
pose the sheriff of this county
was called upon to go to Lewiston
after a man who had committed g
crime here and was arrested there,
his railroad fare alone would con-
sumo about one-tenth OF his salary.
Under those conditions we imag inc
that the office would have hare
time seeking competent men to fill
it. Many of these reform measures
sound mighty pleasing to the public
ear, but when they are studied
more thoroughly the real merit II
them is found to be so little thai
they are quickly repealed. II ar
anti-pass bill is enacted by this
legislature the people two years
hence will be bowling themselves
hoarse about the awful expense the
present county and state admins
trations have incurred. In all ser
iousness, we believe the enact
mcnt of a law compelling the Civ
ing of passes to county and state
officials would be the easiest anc
best way OF settling this question
it would certainly result in grea
saving to the people. Montpelie
Examiner.

A COMMITTEE TO
CEMENT THE DITCHES


The ditch-owners who are under or
ders to cement their irrigation canals
that pass through the city of Roswell
this fall have decided to do the work
by force account, or in other words,
to do it themselves, and have appoint
ed a committee to look after the
work On this committee are K. S.
Woodruff, J. P. Church and ]. P.
White.
This decision was reached Wednes-
day evening when the time came to
open bids for the work There was
only one bid, and that was about ten
thousand dollars higher than the es-
timated cost of the work. d. Y. Tom
lnson was the lone bidder at $23 800.
The job seems to have frightened the
contractors of this neighborhood, but
the ditch-owners think they can save
money by doing the work themselves.
They are talking of making the cem-
enting heavier, and consequently
stronger, than was provided by Engi-
neer w. NJ. Reed in his plans and
specifications Some of the owners
believe they can make the work hea-
vier with very little more cost and
make it much better.
