CHOICE OF SENATOR
IN THE PRIMARY

although a Republican Governor and Legislature shouId be elected
In Oregon it is the man who polls the highest number of votes in
the primaries who is declared the primary nominee for senator.
and the Legislature, whatever may be it's political complexion.
formally elects this man, to comply with the requirements of the
Federal CONSTITUTION. AS it is, under the new primary law the
voter is permitted to signify his choice for United States senator
and the legislators elected are supposed to be morally bound by
this choice. Independent of the primaries senatorial candidates
will work to procure the nominations of candidates friendly to
them. Organization candidates for the Legislature will have the
better chances in the primaries, and hence the struggle in different
counties last fall TO get control of the Republican county commit
tees. The primaries this year will afford the first experiment of
i%e law permitting an expression of choice by the voter Of a sena-
torial candidate.

THE LATE GOVERNOR
GEORGE T.. WERTS

constructive legislation was most needed, George 7. Werts
proved a mastermind as a lawmaker. Many important statutes
now forming part of our law attest his fame as a far-seeing legis-
lator. As a iurist he was able and impartial, and displayed
always in a marked degree that judicial temperament preemi-
nently essential but often lacking in our Judges. AS Governor of
the State he manifested no great administrative ability, but his
record as CHIEF executive was marked by no lessening of the peoples
confidence. He had many personal traits which attracted hosts
of friends. His death will be widely incurred.

TAX ON EXCHANGES
Commissioner of Corporations
Smiths Suggestions.
WOULD REPORT TO PRESIDENT.
Cannot Determine How to Eliminate
Evil and Retain Good of the Future
Transactions.
Transactions

Washington, Special.-A Federal
tax Oh the transactions carried on
by The exchanges of the country is re-
garded by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, as offering
in some measure a Constitutional
and available means Of regulation"
of these bodies. But in q report sub
mitted to President Taft Friday, Mr..
Smith acknowledged that he is some
what at a loss to determine exactly
how "to eliminate the evil and retain
the good'' of the future transactions
Of the exchanges.
Information requested by the Pres
ident as to transactions on produce
exchanges and as to certain future
contracts in farm products led to
Mr.. Smiths report on the subject.
Taking up the various classes Of
transactions in farm commodities,
the commissioner holds that "spot"
and "intended delivery" future
transactions are proper; that ''bucket
shop transactions are "unquestion-
ably evil and indefensible," and
that "hedging" transactions are nee
cssary and proper, being really not
speculation, but an "avoidance OF
speculation"
But as to speculation "where
neither party intends to deliver or
receive, but where the contract IS
made on q regular exchange, the rules
of which make delivery and receipts
obligatory, if demanded" Mr.. Smith
asserts that this class Of future
transactions "presents a difficult
problem. It's existence probably in
wolves the existence of the future ex-
changes themselves"
The trouble with exchange spccula-
ton, says Mr.. Smith, is not with the
theory but with the actual practice.
The commissioner bases his COM
ments in regard to speculation chief
ly on recent investigation Of the cot
ton exchanges. The theoretic bcne-
fits of exchange transactions, lie says,
are often nulliicd by improver con-
ditions on the exchanges themselves
and cites the New York cotton ey-
change, the basic defect of which he
SAYS is its so-callcd "fxed differ
enee" system. The false quotations
produced under this system. lie says,
frequently decrease prices &C cotton
received by the farmer.
