WOMAN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Mrs. McCnlloch, who was elected
justice of the pence at Evanston, ILL.,,
the other day, is eminently qualified
for the office. She is a sraduate Of
Rockford and of the law school of
the Northwestern university. In
1885. she was admitted to the bar in
Illinois, and in 1898 to practice be-
fore the supreme court of the Unit
ed States She has been member
of the Illinois Bar association for
16 years. Such time as she could
spare from the duties attendant up
on caring for her small children has
been devoted to the law practice of
McCulloch & McCulloch of Chicago,
the other partner being her husband,
Frank ii. McCulloch..
Mrs. McCulloch is the author of the
bill which makes Illinois mothers
Joint guardians of their children, and
Of the. bill raising The age of consent
from ID to l6 years. She has served
on the legislative committee of the
Illinois Federation of Women's clubs,
is a member of the Chicago Wo-
mans club and legal adviser of the

CURE FOR LAND MONOPOLY.

In today's East Oregonian is print
ed a list of 20 men and firms who
own $4,000 acres of the 100000
acres of decided land in Umatilla
county.
The Umatila county people who are
accustomed to large holdings, large
farms, large herds of sheep, large
stock ranges, large crops. combined
harvesters cutting, threshing and
sacking 80 acres of wheat per day,
this mild form of land monopoly is
not alarming.
But to the 4e-acre farmer of Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio and, New York, it is an
amazing condition. That. Umatilla
county with an area of 800 square
miles and a total cash valuation of al
most s4O,OOO,0OO should have but 49,
600 population, seems incredible to
the crowded tenant in the east.
But what are you going to do about
it: These land owners have acquir-
ed their holdings honestly and own
them beyond question. No law on
earth can deprive them of their prop
erty, any more than law could pre-
scribe the number of pairs of shoes
merchant should carry.
There is but one cure. New Zea-
land has found it and is now enforcing
it, to the honor and distinction of that
splendid island government.
1t is the graduated land tax which
advances the tax on land, above a GER
tain number of acres. 1t makes it
costly to own more than a stated
amount. The larger the holding the
higher the graduated tax. Monopoly
is impossible under such a law.
The result is that land in New Zea-
land is owned by actual settlers who
live upon and cultivate it. Think what
this would mean to eastern Oregon.
Think of family upon every section
of tillable. land in Umatilla county. 1t
would mean a country population of
several times the present amount.

Haywood Trial Makes Business

Boise will soon be the most i'm
portant telegraph station in the west,
says the Boise Statesman. There is
probably no other town in the whole
west that could handle 1850 words
of press dispatches a day, as can be
done through the Boise office when
the Moyer-Haywood- Pettibone trials
begin. Arrangements are being made
for handling the big trials. Man
ager Hackett received word yester-
day from headquarters that Chief
Operator O'Rrien was to be sent here
from Seattle, with a corps OF eight
expert code operators. and that they
would stay through the trials. Two
quaruplcx tables are to be installed
and connections are to be made with
Nampa over special leased wires be-
longing to the telephone company.
These will he connected with the

OKLAHOMA.

Is Oklahoma ready for statehood?
Yes, ami WAS ready a decade ago.
The total population is in excess of
100000. a greater population than
that of fifteen other states, some of
which have been in the sisterhood
for century
Fourteen other states have fewer
dwelling houses. Not less than II
othtr states have greater mortgage
Indebtedness per caIita Few states
have a hettcr school system than this
new territory that stands on tine
threshold of statehood. The "little
white school house" is to be seen
everywhere.
The cities are prosperous, substan-
TALLY built and enterprising to a de-
gree that will astonish the new be-
holder. Manufacturing is growing at
WONDERFUL pace, and the resources
of tie now state offer abundant proof
that not alone in agriculture will
Oklahoma stand pre-eminent.
More than II years have elapsed
since Utah, the last state admitted,
rejoiced to see her star upon the blue
of the nations banner. When Okla
homa's star appears 1t will mark the
admission of a state that, at the time
of admission, was the richest, the
most populous, the most enterprising
and the most enlightened of all the
galaxy of states. This is no eXag-
geratiun. The figures and the indis-
putuble facts prove it beyond the
shadow of doubt or dispute. NJ.

LA FOLLETTE'S PATRIOTISM.

Among all the brilliant flights of or
atory and hard facts which Senator
La Toilette presented to his audience
in Pendleton in the three hours in
which he spoke, one brief story ap-
peals to the East Oregonian more i'm
pressively than all the remainder Of
the lecture.
In speaking of his fight for the
right, for clean politics, good govern
ment, good citizenship and legislative
honesty, he said that he could have
made much more money by pursuing
another course. He said he had been
offered princely salaries for his serv-
ices by the giant corporations, if he
would only give his time and talents
to them, or he could have made vastly
more money in his large law practice
in Wisconsin, had he chosen to remain
in private life.
But we have talked it over at
home" he said, land we have an
understanding about it. We will not
have so much money because of my
fight on the corporations and beaause
of my services for the state and the
people, but 1 am going to leave name
to my children which no man can take
from them and which will mean much
more than money"
1t is refreshing to find that this
fearless and progressive man places
mere money-getting so low down in
the scale of human achievement.
There are many, many things in life
more valuable and worthy than money.
The honored name, the family pride,
the satisfaction of doing a duty fear
lessly and conscientiously, all stand
immeasurably above money-getting.
Anybody can make money. 1t is
such a common, cheap ideal. 1t forces
men to such disgusting extremes, such
really unmanly practices. The poor
man with clean character, face
unashamed to meet the world is num-
berless stages above the rich man
whose life has been vile.

THE LITTLE FELLOWS"

The little fellows" as they are call
ed by the landlords, the men who own
small homes and who work for liv-
ing, must be considered and they must
take an active part in making a new
charter for Pendleton.
The ''little fellow" has a vote, he is
interested in making Pendleton a good
town. He is interested in making i'm
provements which furnish work and
keep money in circulation and he will
not vote against any of the proposed
improvements.
The same interests which oppose
street paving are arrayed against the
bond issues in the charter changes
The same interests opposed .hs school
houses, and will always be found OPP
posing everything which promises TO
wrench from them cent of taxes.
THE little fellow" however, the
man on the outlying streets, the man
who lives by his labor must vote the
improvements. The large interests
which oppose every advancement will
be benefited more than any other ny
the proposed improvements, just as
they have by street paving, but the
little fellow" must do the voting for
the improvements.
Boise, Baker City, walla Walla,
Weiser-all had this same opposing
element to contend with for years and
the towns We're held back, until finally
the people became aroused and voted
the kickers down and lifted the towns
into the rank of cities, made the neces-
sary improvements and placed them
selves upon the map in large black
letters.
The same way is open to Pendleton.
