Van DUYN MAKES
STRONG ADDRESS
CHANGES IN JURY SYSTEM OF
STATE PROPOSED BY AS
SISTANT VAN DUYN.

Assistant Attorney General Discusses
Important Topic At the Meeting of
State Bar Association at Boise Last
Week.-Newspaper Readers Not
Disqualified
Assistant Attorney General o. NJ.
Van Duyn, formerly county attorney
of Canyon County, addressed the
meeting of the State Bar Association
at Boise Friday of last week. Mr..
Van Duyn is SO we'll known and so
highly respected in this city and coun-
ty that his views on any subject are al
ways matter Of public interest. In
this case the intrinsic value of his re-
marks and suggestions are we'll worth
publication. AS reported by the Capt.
tai News Mr. Van Duyn said in part
The address of Mr. Van Duyn was
not set one and was not in written
form. As the assistant attorney gen
eral warmed into his subject he de
clared that he believed that the bar
association should take some action
toards bringing before the coming
legislature a measure which will allow
the juror who has read the newspapers
to sit upon a criminal case and not
disqualify him, as now appears to be
the case.
Makes Recommendations
II can see no reason why the aver
age juror should be disqualified on the
grounds that he has read the public
press relative to a crime that has been
committed and on which he has been
called to sit as juror" stated Mr.
Van Duyn. "The present law govern
ing the qualifications of juror have
made it possible for the most ignorant
of men to sit upon cases where it
takes the man of at least average in
telligence to return fair and impair
tial verdict I believe that the legis-
lative committee should make rec
ommendation to the legislature that
the man who reads these accounts
should not be disqualified from acting
as juror.
II wish to also state that in my
opinion we should have in this coun
try a verdict by the majority That
is fair to both the prosecution and the
defense. A majority of verdict of
II men should be sufficient to bring in
verdict one way or the other.
at has been said by eminent men
that in the past 100 years LAWYERS have
not advanced in law procedure and
that in reality we are practicing law
today as we were 100 years ago and by
the law of the Stewards For this we
have been severely criticized by the
press, such periodicals as Golfers
Weekly and the Portland Oregonian
declaring that we are not advancing.
Mr.. Van Duyn also criticized the de-
lay in securing convictions and recon.
mended that some method be pro.
vided by which justice could be swiftel
and surer

pecially those of the Pacific coast,
seem to be richer and thicker than
in the eastern states, and naturally
affords an unusually good feeding
ground for the pear blight bacillus.
This rich, fleshy bark also tends to
hold over the germ during the dorm
ant season in a much more serious
way than the thinner bark of trees
grown under other conditions.
Cloudy, rainy weather, therefore,
while favoring infection, sometimes
results in starved condition of the
tree. which, of course, is especially
unfavorable to the pear blight germ.
Trees grown so as to produce min
imum growth naturally are short of
plant food, and, of course, do not
favor the pear blight germ, even
though it should enter the tissues.
Every phsio1igist knows that in Or
der that a green plant may form
starch in it's foliage the action OF
sunlight is required. The more in
tense the sunlight the more rapidly
the formation of starch goes one. In
cloudy. dark weather very little
starch is made or elaborated in the
leaves. OF course, we know that the
tree does not make use Of its starch
as such. but, through the action of
diastatic ferment or engine, the
starch is changed into sugar, which
is translocated to all parts of the
tree by osmotic action; that Is,
through the sap. 1t is this rich sap,
which is mostly sugar, that the pear
: blight germ feeds upon. The more
sugar, the more intense the destruc-
= tive action of the germ. The very

disease abundantly. Dry sunshine,
while favorable to the orchards, tends
to produce firm, healthy growth OF
the tree and prevent infection peri
ods. However, constant and intense
sunlight produces another result
which be be noted here. Pome fruits,
as we'll as other fruits, under the in
fluence of dry, but sunshiny weather,
carry on their process of growth and
assimilation in the very best possible
manner. The study Of blight through
out the west shows that where irri-
cation is used on the one hand, and
where there is a natural supply OF
water on the other hand and where
the orchards are fairly we'll supplied
with water and kept in continual
state of high nutrition by the per-
petual and uniform sunshine, the
trees are peculiarly susceptible to the
disease. In the lower Sacramento
valley in California and In the Rogue
river valley, where irrigation Is not
resorted to, we find that there is a
great deal of soil moisture, and in
, many favored spots, the water table
. is only few feet below the surface
of the ground. Under proper cult
vation, where a dust mulch prevents
evaporation Of the soil moisture, we
find that during even the driest sea
' sons the roots of the trees are amply
= supplied with water On the othe1
5 hand, we also find places where thu
water table Is too near the surface
l and in this case the trees are in
: drowned condition; consequent.
{ perfect assimilation does not go on
:, and for this reason, such trees, al
though situated in rich, nitrogenou
+ soils, do not blight badly. Where tn
o trees are growing at their best, tn
i blight germ feeds on the rich sugar
o and starches in the sap, so that tn
f conditions which favor the growt
n and production Of the fruit, ais

Shafroth to redeem democratic plat

day, will be passed in more or less
senasculated form now is apparent.
Upon the action of the caucus de-
pends in a large measure the accom-
nlishments of the extra SESSION.
The senate has the whiphand. If
the democratic majority agree among
themselves on Legislation to be enact
ed, it is safe to assume that their
plans will be carried out with but
little notifications. That democratic
members of the senate will fail to
agree is considered more than a pos
sibility.
pWhat the house will do about it
seems at present to be a negligible
factor the senate commanding the
ertire attention of the politicians.
The action of the republican mem

satical. although their proceedings

the statute unconstitutional which
makes it an offense for an employer
to discharge an employe because he
belongs to labor union.
The resolution was passed unani
mously, without discussion.
That mine inspectors be subordin-
ate to the commissioner of labor and
be elected by their labor organiza
tions was the substance of another
resolution which passed.
Another measure which met with
approval was that providing for all
union men to stay away from places
where a strike was in progress. so

Morning Session.
The feature of the forenoon ses-
sion was the introduction of a reso-
luton, with preamble that dozen
Philadelphia lawyers could not fig
ure out. 1t was involved, disconnect-
ed. Intricate and entangled to a de
gree that was amazing.
AS soon as it was brought up for
action. the resolution was jumped on
from every quarter and discussion
waXed warm in the extreme. Every
body took hand at trying to inter-
pret it. but without success.
The meat in the cocoanut had not
been reached because of the wrangle
of the delegates over the preamble.
Then Delegate Konnak took the floor
and thanked the members for the at
tention given his document
lie explained that the intent of the
resolution was to emphasize the i'm
portan,e OF demanding the union la
bel on cigars and tobaccos, and he
had been convinced that. had he
merely offered a resolution 10 that
effect, it would have been unanimous
ly passed without comment and posi-.
bly, without notice.
Hence, he had purposely tCnst ruct-
ed the preamble in order to get at
tention directed to the impossible
construct tion thereof; thus enabling
him to secure better attention to the
resolution itself. His explanation
was received with laughter and APP
plause, the delegates acknowledging
that they had been stung most eff
fectively.
Books Found to be o. X.
The report of the auditing COM
mittee was then read. 1t declared
that the books of the federation had
been kept in splendid condition and
that the funds checked up correctly.
The report complimented the Of
ficers on their administration of the
affairs of the organization.
A large number of resolutions were
then offered and submitted to the
various committees for later report
at the afternoon session.
The convention passed unanimous
ly resolutions regarding the death OF
several prominent members of the or
