Killers Supplied.

Portland Union Stockyards, March
THE change OF months brought a
change of sentiment in the livestock
situation, but the change in the latter
is believed to be merely a temporary
ry affair Requirements of killers
are small in the cattle market just
now. Most Of them have quite liber-
al supplies. and for that reason were
very slow to n'bble at stock offered
this morning.
Receipts OF cattle were fair over
Sunday but this was the only line t.
show any arrivals at all. There is lit
tie doubt that the market will take
care of all arrivals coming forward
in the near future, but the purchases
will notlikely be so fast as during the
previous week.
Neither hogs nor sheep put in an
appearance IN the yards during the 4S

Pay OF FEDERAL .LuDGES


The senate has passed a bill in
creasing the pay of the judges of the
federal circuit court from $1,000 to
$4,000 per annum and that of the dis
trict judges from $4,000 to $4,000.
The measure as originally offered
placed the salaries of the circuit
judges. at $4,000 and of the district
judges at $4,000. The bill was passed
by the senate only after a long de-
bate in which Senators Bailey, Till
man. Borah and others fought against
the proposed increase, asserting that
the condition of the federal revenues
would not warrant the proposed in
creases. The bill now goes to the
house, with fair prospects of passage,
although some of the economists Of
that body are determined to oppose
all propositions looking to any in
crease in the expenses of the govern
ment.
According to the advocates OF the
measure, the work of the federal
Juu6Co hdo ihSiC BlCdlly III luS
last few years and has become of high
importance because of the economic
problems raised by our legislation and
by the activities of the government
against violators of the antitrust and
interstate commerce laws. One effect
of this increase of work has been to
cause the circuit judges to do a great
deal of travelling sitting as courts of
appeal. The judges have to pay their
own travelling expenses, even while on
Official business, although travel al
lowances are made to federal attor-
neys, marshals, clerks and other court
officials. Members of the Interstate
Commerce commission, a quasi-ju-
dicial body, are paid $4,000 a year
and travelling expenses, and govern
ment appraisers, whose work must be
passed upon by the judges, get $4,000
a year.
In arguing in support of the bill,
Senator Hale called attention to the
fact that all of the increases proposed
in the federal payroll in all of the bills
offered for consideration of congress
would total less than $500,O0 an
nually, or about one-tenth the cost OF
one modest battleship. AS the fnal
enforcement of the reform legislation
enacted by congress in the last few
years must fall upon the federal
judges, better salaries would not be
begrudged federal judges, who really
earn them, although the present pay
Is more than some of them are en-,
titled to.

NERVE.

Rejecting the proposals for primary
law revision, the World-Herald comes
out in advocacy of what is substan-
TALLY the Illinois primary, combining
the direct vote on candidates with
conventions to choose where no candi-
date polls an absolute majority. With
out crediting this plan OF primary to
the republicans of Illinois, who have
worked it out and put 1t into effect,
the World-Herald proceeds as IL it
we're its own patented device:
An expression OF opinion from leading
democrats and democratic editors is cordi-
ally invited, more especially since the ques-
tion is one OF concededly great importance
and involving no little difficulty in its sat
isfactory settlement.
Opinions are wanted only from dem
ocrats and democratic papers, as If the
proposed primary law were to be en-
acted only for making democratic
nominations and all other political
parties were unconcerned in it. The
fact is that no primary law can be
made that does not apply equally to
all political parties and which will not
govern republicans and populists, and
prohibitionists and socialists, just as
much as 1t will govern democrats.
Put 1t down that no primary law
will prove satisfactory unless it ma
bles the members of each political
party to make their will effective in
the selection OF party candidates and
in the PRONUNCIATION of party princi-
pies, and also prevent members OF
other political parties from manipu-
lating party action from the outside.
II the democrats proceed on the theory
that none but democrats are to be con-
sidered in the makeup Of a new pri-
mary law for Nebraska they will dis
cover their mistake later.

ALIEN OWNERSHIP OF LAND.
The japanese Problem as IT Appears
In California.

San Francisco Chronicle.
1t would be good fortune, W. suppose we
must say unexpected good fortune, If GER
tain OF the uneasy among us would come
TO understand that nothing can be gained
for this state, and much may be lost, by
continuous attempts to enact pin prickipg
legislation directed against orientals. Pin
pricks simply i~rritate, but do nothing more.
Without attempting to pose as an author
ity on legal questions, the Chronicle"
ventures to say that it will be found that
early in the history OF the republic the
supreme court OF the United States held
that the matter Of ownership of land by
aliens within this country was within the
jurisdiction Of the treaty making power.
That may be good law or bad law, but IL
It Is the law, we must submit to it or re-
bel, which, we presume, is not contem-
plated. Where the treaty making power
has not acted, the states are free to act.
A state law forbidding the requirement OF
ownership by aliens would doubtless be
valid as against citizens or subjects OF
countries with which the United States has
not granted such privileges by treaty, but
probably would not be valid as against the
citizens or subjects Of countries with which
our treaties contain the most favored ma
ton clause, IL directed exclusively against
them.
But whether it would or not, it is unnec-
essary, imprudent and gTotesquely unwise
TO pass any such law, or propose to pass
1t at this time. Japan could make no COM
plant OF a law excluding all aliens from
ownership of real estate, for that is Jap
anese law. But the Japanese government
could, and would, consider IL an unfriendly
act to pass a law especially directed against
Japanese, and the enactment OF such a law.
whether valid or not, would certainly not
tend to make the Japanese government
more active in restraining emigration to
this country, and would unquestionably
excite fiery indignation against us through
absolutely powerless in the matter. What
we desire is to prevent the immigration OF
Oriental laborers. 1t is being prevented,
and II they do not come here, they will not
buy any and. hat being the case, the
sensible thing is to let well enough alone.
Since peaceably. and without friction, we
are getting all that we ask for, 1t is the
height OF folly TO stir up wrath. The
classes among us who are most particularly
concerned in maintaining friendly rela-
lions with Japan are those who work with
their hands to produce the commodities
which Japan buys from US. and II the COM
petition OF Oriental laborers can be pre-
vented without injury to friendly rele lions,
it will be better for all Of US.

CONGRESS- BACKING DOWN.


After devoting several weeks to
resolutions and speeches ~denouncing
the president, charging him with at
tempting to usurp the privileges of the
legislative branch of the government,
with insulting the dignity of the SEN
ate and impugning the motives of
members of the house, both branches
of congress have more or less grace
fully climbed down from their high
horses and admitted that the president
has been entirely within his rights and
that the congress was mistaken in it's
position,
The first step in the backward move
ment of congress was taken by the
senate committee OF judiciary in de-
Gliding that the senate exceeded its au-
thority when it demanded that the
supply congress with all the data con-
corning the merger of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company with the
United States Steel corporation, and
particularly with reasons why the at
torney general did not suit
under the Sherman law to prevent
such combination. The president in
structed Attorney General ~Bonaparte
not to respond to the demand OF the
senate and sent a message CURLY in
forming the senate that he did not
concede the right of the senate to call
upon a cabinet officer for such infor-
nation. Nearly all of the democratic
senators and the republican reaction
aries promptly attacked the president
for his course and a resolution of in
quiry was proposed, but referred to
the judiciary committee. That COM
mittee now admits that the president
has the law to support him In with
holding such information from con
gress as he may choose.
Following the senate's lead, the
house has suddenly discovered that il
has been violating the law, precedent,
and the rules of common courtesy in
allowing its members free rein to
heap abuse upon the CHIEF executive,
Members of the house had been busy
for weeks criticising the presidents
conduct in connection with the secret
service administration and finding
fault with him on practically every
matter pending in congress. 1t had

in states west Of the Mississippi. Wyoming
takes the lead with a,155 cases; Colorado
follows with S,624, and South Dakota with
5,Ss4. The value Of government lands fraud
ulently acquired is said to approximate
sic, 10000. These %swindling operations on
the frontier do not speak we'll for the re-
public. Considering the sparsity OF popula-
ton to the square mile and the compare
lively lessened opportunity OF plumber, the
good people OF Wyoming can give points to
