THE DODGING TENTH.

Too soon for the safe feeling of the
people have the members of the Tenth
session shown a disposition to dodge
the measures they were pledged to
fulfill. The first break occurred on
the senatorial questions. There were
some few members who were willing
to repudiate their pledges to elect w.
B. Hepburn United States senator.
or course the insurgents could do
nothing in this matter; but they clear
ly indicated disposition to repudiate
the pledges made by the Republican
party. If there was one thing upon
which the people of the state were
unanimously united, it was the re-
election of the senator. If some mem
bers can conscientiously dodge this
there is no telling where this lodging
may stop. There was a we'll defined
opposition to the direct primary, To-
cal option and railroad commission.
1t was understood during the cam
paign that these measures would be
enacted into law, in case of Republi-
can success. The party was pledged
either in the state or in the various
county platforms to such action. But
what can We expect? 1t is already
told that member from Canyon
county was informed that if ne ex-
pected to hold the county intact. he
would have to be cautious
with his local option plank.
From this it will be seen
that the anti-local optionists are re-
sorting to every scheme in the world
to force members to repudiate the
party platforms. There are also other
interests at work to compel repudi- |
atoms, The Tribune trusts that the
Republicans will come out of it and
take their promises seriously. Its a |
little too much to hope, though. The
tenth session may go down in history
as the Dodger Tenth.

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.

The Tribune thinks, that on the
whole, the county of Canyon has had
"a most excellent administration for
the past two years. The board of
commissioners here handled the coun-
ty affairs in wise and economical
manner. The assessor. sheriff, coun-
ty attorney, clerk, treasurer, probate
Judge. superintendent of schools, en-
gineer and coroner have each and
everyone faithfully performed his du-
ties. OF those mentioned above four
were Democrats: Messrs. Bailey.
Thorp. Geisler. and CLANCY. We must
confess that those four men did ex-
eeptionally well for Democrats-even
as well as some Republicans could
nave done. The balance of the coun-
ty officers were Republicans: Attor-
ney Van Duyn, Judge Hagelin, Asses
sor Moore, superintendent, Miss Bean.
commissioners Plat and Dodd, have
zach and every one faithfully done

A New Deal.

The Pocatello Tribune says that
information has been received IN
the city to the effect that com plete
change in the method OF taking tick
cts on the Oregon Short Line will go
into effect within short time and
ruling is to be made to that effect.
The new system will relieve the train
conductor from ticketing passengers
or handling any money whatever. An
additional functiorary will accom-
pany each train from one terminal to
another and do all such work. All
the conductors on passenger trains
will have to do hereafter will be to
run his train. The Southern Pacific
is to give the new system a trial first
and Immediately after it is inaugural
ed the Oregon Short Line is to take
it on.
The change in train operation was
to have gone into effect January l,
but the officials of the company did
not have everything in order. by that
time and the new arrangement was
deferred. 1t is expected that within
the present month the change is to
take place and Pocatello residents
travelling east or west will be intro
duced to the novel plan. The new
system is being introduced on many
of the eastern roads and meeting with
success.
The plan is to substitute train aud
itors for train agents or ticket in
spectors who board train as it pulls
out from a division station and scan
the tickets held by each passenger.
Premiums are placed upon bad tickets
held by other than the original pur-
chaser. The train agent also keeps
line on the conductor Of the train.
The agent leaves the train at an out
of town station, after he has inspected
all of the tickets on board and the
conductor takes up the tickets him
self.
whole run and will report to the gen-
eral auditor of the road at the head
quarters of the railroad system In
other words, the plan will take the
tickets out of the hands of the oper-
ating department and put it in charge
of the auditing branch of the railroad
business. 1t is said that the change
is made because the conductors on
main line passenger trains have
enough to do to run their trains with
out acting in the capacity of human
cash register and bookkeeper in ad-
dition. Left to himself to operate his
train on time it is believed better re-
suits will be obtained and there will
be less liability of accident. It is also
thought the new plan will prevent the
escape of cash through mysterious
channels.

Sheep Market.

Chicago, Ill, January 10, 1909.
The supply of sheep and lambs
Monday and Tuesday showed an in
crease of about ten thousand compar-
ed with the corresponding time last
week. Today, "wednesday receipts
are unusually light; hardly over 12,-
900 to $4,000, think, and the market
is 25cts. higher all around, lambs
reaching the eight cent mark for the
first time since last spring. This is
about as we predicted and as we siz-
ed the situation up and believe we
will have some very high prices for
lambs before the season is over.
Sheep show as much advance as
lambs, the bulk selling $1.OO to $3.50
higher than two weeks ago. Choice
wethers sold today up to 1915 with
westerns selling freely at $3.50 to
$3.50.
There is no question about the out
come of the sheep business this sea-
son; chiefly because there are not
many on feed and the markets are
bound to be lightly supplied. The last
three weeks receipts have been rather
light which is just what the trade
needed. AS we have advised from
time to time, there is no question but
what the feeders have the market in
their own hands this season and IL
they will only watch the situation
closely and not try to market too
many at a time, this is going to be
one OF the best years the sheep men
nave ever seen. We do not believe
there will be oversupplies on the mar
ket from now on but that the demand

ceipts at strong prices the balance OF
the season. We do not think 1t will
be long before wethers win bring six
cents. Yearlings are now selling at
S7.26. These prices aer very high, yet
with such light supplies, we cannot
expect anything but a very good mar

PRO EFT CON.


his argument for direct primary in
his state, said in his recent message:
I'm practice the delegates to nomi-
mating conventions are generally mere
pieces on the political chessboard,
and most of them might as well be
inanimate so far as their effective
participation in the choice of can
didates is concerned. Party candi-
dates are in effect generally appoint
ed, and by those who have not been
invested with any such appointing
power"
This is a very vigorous and keen
attack upon the representative or
convention system. But what does the
direct primary as tested in Oregon,
give us in it's place?
Candidates, whom no convention of
delegates would deem fit for any po-
sition, nominate themselves. There
is a multitude Of them for every po-
sition. AS a result of the primary
one of them gets the nomination by
a small plurality, for each Office. Most
of the electors consider the man NOM
mated unfit for the position and re-
fuse to vote for him. The primary
has produced bitter fight, in which
the whole membership of party has
participated, and animosities have
been engendered all round. The con-
sequence is success of the candidate
or candidates Of the opposite party,
and the efficacy of party action, as a
means Of furthering distinct purposes
in politics is completely nullified or
destroyed
Men of real ability, men who re-
spect themselves, are very hesitant
about nominating themselves and
seeking Office. Few, of character, will
do it. The result is that the candi-
dates, especially those of the MAORI
ty party,who hope to win by num-
bers, will be an inferior sort of men,
or regarded as such. The state never
will get it's best talent through this
system. And the means of accomplish
ing results through party and through
party action, will be destroyed.
These are some of the consequences
as proven in Oregon. We are as
sured, however, that the system has
come to stay" Yet, even If so, it re-
mains possible to tell the truth about
it, Political wire-pulling hasn't been
eliminated, and if the old system was
bad, we have merely substituted a
worse one. To the 0regonian, after
years of observation, experience and
reflection, it seems better that con-
ventions should appoint candidates
than that candidates should appoint
themselves.
The foregoing is taken from the
Portland Oregonian. It is a very
mild statement of actual facts, as
brought to light under the direct pri-
mary law of Oregon. The state of
Washington also has a similar law.
Similar troubles have arose in that
state. In one of two instances the
second choice actually got the nomi-
nation. In another the nominee show
ed that in securing the nomination
he spent more than i've times his
first years salary. The people of
Idaho should study this subject we'll;
and especially the legislators should
carefully examine the workings in
other states of the direct primary law
before fastening one IN Idaho
