TIME FOR DISTRICTING.

Public interest in the question OF
districting the state for congression-
al representation is intensified by
the opinions that are obtained from
members of the legislature and pub
lished from day to day in this pa
| per. These views are varied in tone
but it is gratifying to note that the
number of those who favor district
Ing Is large enough to give hope
| that measure for the purpose will
be carried through the legislature
at the approaching session.
The strongest argument for thee
passage of such law is that failure
to enact it will be direct and contin-
ued violation of the constitution of
the United States, of federal statutes
and of the state constitution. The
federal constitution provides that
representatives shall be apportioned
among the several states which shall
be included within the union ac-
cording to their respective num-
bers.' By federal statute enacted al
the time of the last apportionment
OF representation by congress it was
enacted:
That in each state entitled under
this apportionment, the number to
which such state may be entitled in
the fifty-eighth and each subsequent
congress, shall be elected by districts
composed Of contiguous and compact
territory, and containing as nearly
as practicable an equal number of
inhabitants. That said district shall
be equal to the number of representa-
tives to which such state may be en-
titled in congress, and no one dis
trict shall elect more than one rep
| resentative"
II this is not enough to show the
plain duty of the legislature the
state constitution can be quoted as
follows:
When a new apportionment shall
be made BY congress the legislature
shall divide the state into congress
sional districts, in accordance with
such apportionment."
This is mandatory, giving the leg
islature no choice in the matter.
The most charitable view to take
OF the hesitancy on the part of some
OF the members of this legislature to
take positive stand for districting
the state is that they have not given
the subject full consideration. Prob
ably on further reflection and after
studying the law and deliberating
on their obligations under the spe-
cific declarations of the platforms
OF both political parties they will
see their duty more clearly.
| The plea for procrastination until
a possible reapportionment by con.
gress, after the 1910 census is SC
weak as not TO deserve serious con.
siderauon. There is no assurance
that congress will make a new an.
portionment, though expectation OF
such action may be entertained. In
view, however, of the present large
membership in congress, making that
body almost unwieljly because of the
bigness, a decision may be reached tc
keep the representation of the states
as 1t is for at least another decade.
Even should a reapportionment be
made it would hardly become effect
i've in time for the legislature of 1911
to act upon, possibly not for the leg
islature of 1913. At that time If the
state is disTictej now as it ought t.
be. it will be very simple matter t.
adjust ourselves to the new appor
tionment. Nothing can be gained by
postponing &ction. = Spokesman-Re
view.

JONES OF SPOKANE.

1t is not so far beyond the recol.
lection of the oldest inhabitant, es-
1pecially if he has vivid magma
lion, since some OF our good Ameri-
can citizens were burning witches
down in the land where Tom Law
son is still seeing things" Our
country emerged with considerable
alacrity from that era of supersti-
lion and ignorance to its present
nigh plane of civilization, but the
progress thus made from religious
darkness to light has been at a
snail's pace compared with what has
been recorded in our financial under
standing For example, we note in
yesterdays dispatches that certain
Jones OF Spokane was Fostering
the congressman at Washington in
an ,endeavor to secure Introduction
of bill providing that all gold and
silver miners shall deposit their
ore with the United States mint and
receive back from the government
The coin made therefrom.
When Jones of Spokane" presented
his scheme to Secretary Shaw, that
official is said to have asked 'if he
nad ever sojourned in an insane
asylum And yet, despite the sar-
casm OF the secretary. the proposed
scheme was measure of great
merit in comparison with that which
vas advocated by another Jones of
spokane" only about ten years ago.
This other Jones of Spokane" float
I'd into a seat in congress along
with the celebrated J. Hamilton
Lewis on that wave of populism and
crazy finance which rippled over the
evergreen state about a decade ago
He is known in Washington political
history as Wheat Chart" Jones, the
peculiar prefix being caused by his
exploitation OF the theory that wheat
and silver were inseparably linked
and in price advanced or declined
simultaneously.
This particular Jones of Spokane
illustrated his theory by a system
Of charts constructed and manipulate
ed with all the skill that Is noticea-
Die when the gentlemen in the loud
clothing shifts the three shells for
the purpose of hiding the pea from
-he inQuis;tive Reuben. And yet
no one dared to ask the other Jones
of Spokane" if he had ever sojourp-
ed in an insane asylum; but, on the
contrary, his celebrated wheat and
silver theory was secondary only to
the pink whiskers of ]. Ham, as a
drawing card in that memorable
campaign. Truly the world moves,
and, judging by the reception accord
I'd this latest Jones of Spokane"
with financial theory. if Wheat
Chart" Jones were to wander back
o Washington and attempt to place
n circulation the financial hobby on
which he rode into power, he
would be locked up on charge
of lunacy before he could get the ear
Of Secretary Shaw.
There is a persistent rumor that
yakima" Jones will remove to Spo-
kane to be groomed for the United
States senatorial race. If the Hon
Wesley L. Of North Yakima is wise
ne will steer clear of the city by the
falls. for the present at least

There will be about one thousand
more children in this school district the
coming year. The revenue from the
state to the district from these extra
children's school attendance will be
500 day, or $500 for the whole school
year of one hundred and eighty days.
The interest on the $4,000 worth of
bonds at four per cent will be $4,000.
BY voting for the bond issue the extra
pupils the district can take care of
and educate. by the money received
for their attendance from the state,
will pay the annual interest on the
bonds asked, and give a balance of
$4,000 to be turned into the general
fund to help maintain and support the
schools. The state is liberal to our
schools. but, and we are sorry to say
it, a local paper is perversely striving
to deprive them of this liberality.
