make up for the deficiency of the law
making body.
A federal Judge who would take
suggestions as to his judicial duties or
yield to the persuasive influence of
those who have the power to advance
him or retard his advancement, would
heed just as quickly the solicitations
of some malefactor when his appetite
for money should become a little
stronger than his ambition for place.
The utter lack of moral fiber, the alb
sence of that fine sense of judicial
honor is just as certainly demonstrated
in one instance as the other. A tribu-
nal in which the government can ex-
erclse an influence one particle stronger
or greater than can be exercised by a
private citizen, or in which the gov
eminent can dictate the fines or sug-
gest the judgments to be rendered, is
Just as cowsrdly, just as contemplate,
just as slavish to the base and grovel-
ing instincts of subserviency, as
tribunal which would listen more at
tentively and more favorably to the
man of social influence and wealth
than to the common citizen.

PROPOSED TAX ON CORPORATIONS

Without having made a thorough
study of the subject it occurs to US
that the corporation tax proposed by
President Taft would be a good thing
remarks the Mail and Breeze. 1t
proposes a tax of per cent on the
net incomes of corporations after ex-
empting IS, 900 of the corporate in
come. To begin with, it would give
the government complete knowl-
edge of the business of the corpora
tons, which is essential before any
intelligent plan for the regulation of
the corporations can be adopted.
1t would not be great hardship on
the stockholders of the corporations
who at present manage TO pretty nearly
escape taxation altogether. 1t is per-
sisently rumored in the case of certain
insurance corporations that they are
really cleaning up more than lUU per
cent per annum on the capital stock
and that good deal of this same CAPT
tai stock is water Maybe that is not
true. If 1t is true then it is evident
that the people who buy insurance are
paying too much for it. If it is not
true then an investigation would rec
tify wrong impression that has been
scattered abroad.
The government needs the revenue
and if we are to keep up our policy of
benevolent assimilation of people who
live 10, 900 miles away from us we will
need good deal more revenue than
we can raise from the present sources.
1t is estimated that the corporation tax
will yield as much as Is million dol
lars year anyway and perhaps a good
deal more.

Quoting his office. Some men still
have the foolish, old-faShioned notion
that it is their duty to do that, and 1t
is pleasure to note the fact in this
case. The Globe recently mentioned
Commissioner Wallis acton in the
matter of renovating the butcher shops
and slaughter houses in the south part
of the state, where he closed up sew
eral shops whose proprietors were
stiff-necked and belligerent against
the law. Now he has the CONNER
cial Creamery Co. on the carpet for
selling short weight butter rolls, with
a fine attachment of SIS; and lead
ing Boise grocer has paid a $50 fine
for selling Oleomargarine without
conspicuously placarding the same
and another dealer has contributed
SIS to the public funds for selling
absolutely pure lard in name that
was not so in fact. This news will be
hailed with rejoicing by long suffer
ing public, which for years has paid
high prices for what it did not get.

MAKE MONEY OUT OF FORESTS.

Since the agitation has commenced
concerning forest preservation says the
Mail and Breeze we have been look
ing up the history of other nations
somewhat, and find that several Eu-
ropean countries are not only taking
care of the forests, but at the same
time are making large revenues out of
the government forests.
Switzerland now owns considerably
more than half the forests and is
clearing up an average of between So
and 81 per acre after paying for the
care and cost of replenishing. New
forests are being planted and the
amount of wood in that old country is
actually increasing.
Sweden is another country that has
gone into the forestry business, and
IN addition to keeping up the forests
is making net revenue of something
over 81, 10000 per annum. Ger
many is taking care of the forests but
does not seem to be making as good
a showing in a financial way, COM
paratively speaking, as either Switzer-
land or Sweden. We think we are
all-hred smart, but we have a good
deal to learn yet from such little old
countries as Switzerland and Sweden.

BoRAH OPPOSES CUSTOMS COURT

BoRAH OPPOSES CUSTOMS COURT.
Senator Borah last week registered
telling protest against the customs
court feature of the new tariff bill in
most able address before the senate.
He made an attack upon the new
court on the grounds that it would
cost $3.50, 900 year and that it was
unnecessary and was in the nature of
an attempt to create court which will
be government court, court which
will always decide in favor of the gov
eminent regardless of how the law is
written. The complaint was and
that is the basis of the provision for
the court-that the federal courts have
decided actions against the govern
ment and the government has lost
revenue on account of it. This either
implies, of course, the senator con-
tended, that the federal courts are in
competent and is an assault upon them
or it implies that they want a court
which will decide in favor of the gov
eminent, right or wrong.
In the course of his remarks, Sena-
tor Borah said:
1 cannot look with favor upon
this bill. dislike to oppose the COM
mittee. But you will make a mistake
if you force this through. 1t is un-
necessary, extravagant and an accen-
tuation OF wrongful tendency. Con-
sclously or unconsciously you have
yielded to that tendency. Whether
you so intended or not it is an assault
upon our federal courts. 1t is either
an impeachment of their ability or
tribute to their independence. You
either think they are unable to decide
the law correctly or else you think
they are and will decide it correctly
and you are not satisfied with that de-
cision. In any view of the matter the
provision should be rejected.
There has been strong tendency
OF late years among some people to
regard the federal courts as emergency
hospitals for defective legislation as
the subservient tool of the political
department of the government rather
than an impartial tribunal charged with
no duty other than an independent and
fearless Interpretation of the law.
Fortunately this tendency has had no
effect upon the court as a whole,
whatever has been its effect upon some
individual judges. Such theory is
perfectly vicious and the higher the
source of this new doctrine the more
vicious it is.
The department of justice is no
nearer, or should not be, to a tribunal
called to pass in a judicial way upon
matters of interest to the government
than the most obscure citizen. Upon
no other theory can an independent
judiciary be maintained or the indi-
vldual rights of citizens be upheld. If
the law is faulty it is our business here
to remedy it, but the court should not
be expected by sacrificing honor to
