OFFENDS 'SHYLOCK'
HIS ONLY Crime
LOUIS FISHER, NOW IN cAss
COUNTY JAIL, SENDS FORUM
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Is
GLAD THAT he LIVES IN THE
WEST OR HE MIGHT BE DEAD.

In a communication to The Forum,
written in his cell in the Cass county
Jail, dated this morning, Louis Fisher
says:
II hope you will find space in your
paper to publish this statement, for
which / thank you in advance.
Il am not guilty of the charge
preferred against me. My crime con-
sists only of offending the modern
Shylock Of lower Front street. In the
east the blackhand gang is dealing
out death and destruction for such an
offense. In the west some people
would establish the old country sys-
tenn, that might is right, but / am
confident that American integrity will
prevent such condition. At any
rate, am glad that am in the west,
or l might be dead by this time AS
surfing you that in due time l will
prove my innocence, I remain, thank
fully yours, L. Fisher.
Fisher was arraigned this morRing
before Judge H. F. Miller, where he
entered a plea of not guilty. The
hearing was continued until Monday,
and in default of bonds, Fisher was
remanded to jail

Estimating Your Weight

One way for estimating the cor rect weight for the height is as follows: A woman who is five feet in height should weigh I2o pounds; for every additional inch six pounds should be allowed. Weight, however, does not always mean symmetrical figure. The great thing is to put on flesh in proper proportion. The artistic way of measuring the human body is by heads. And the measure ment from the top of the forehead to the tip of the chin is called the measurement of the head. The artistic height given for a woman is five feet five inches. Eight heads is the proper height for a woman. When the arms are ex- tended the measurements from the tip of one middle finger to the other should be the exact measure of her height. The length of her hand should be one-tenth of her height, the length of her foot one. seventh, and the diameter of her chest one-fifth. The waist should measure twenty-seven inches; the bust measure under the arms should be thirty-four inches, round the wrist six inches, the thigh twenty-five, the calf of the leg fourteen and half inches. The weight should be one hundred and thirty-hve to forty pounds. Given these proportions for a woman five feet and five inches, after obtain ing your own height, it will be a nice piece of arithmetic to see how near you come to the standard of perfection given by the artists.

Laws, laws, laws, seem to be the failing of a few people who are afraid to trust themselves or any one else. There are enough laws on the statute books now. Laws won't cure moral defects in an in- dividual. We need more justice, less laws, and a straight to the point, concise, clearly written con- stitution is now what the people need more than complicated com binations of laws, which are merely confusing enough for loop holes to permit the guilty to escape.

In theory the initiative, refer endum and recall sounds good. It is like thousand other theories that have proven in actual prac- tice to be worse than useless, a tax on the people, resulting in con fusion and disaster to the people who attempted them. In this in- stance it has proven that the much vaunted Oregon laws are not what they are represented. For in- stance, in the past 1t has been dis covered that but Y per cent of the voters have voted on the laws referred to them, thus while it is heralded abroad that we the peo- pie rule," only 9 per cent of the people actually make the laws. Think of it, 9 per cent of the vo- ters making the laws for the oI per cent, who don't care until they bump into trouble and accidentally find out what the law really means. And the recall. How easy it is for corporation or a few specially interested to hustle around and secure a small percentage of the voters on a petition that will be signed without thought or care by the average individual, to 'recall" some official because he may be
 "perniciously" interested in see. ing a law passed or enforced to prevent their wrong doing.

MT. Pinchot says congress IS to blame for the big fires in the northwest, where millions of dol lars worth of timber has been de- stroyed and many lives lost, be- cause they failed to appropriate enough money for proper protec- ton. This argument will sound well back east where the people do not know the actual facts, but to those who do know the facts, it will merely be more convincing to them than ever, that Pinchot will use any kind of an argument to gain his ends.
 When the forest business was transferred from the Interior De- pertinent to the Agricultural De- partment in 1905 and went under MT. Pinchot's management, a statement was issued by him at the close of the year in which he showed what a wonderful reduc- ton in the number of fires had been made under proper regula- ton" by the forest service. MT. Pinchot made no reference to the fact that ten years drought had been broken by heavy rains all over the southwest during the summer of 1905. It was proper regulation" then, now 1t is be- cause of lack of funds, though about four millions of dollars were spent during the year-more than all the money ever spent alto- gether during the time forests were under the land office.
 Those who fought the big fires this summer know that it was the thick undergrowth and that prac- tically no human agency could cope with them when once well started. Grazing on these lands, which has been restricted to the last degree, would have been of vast benefit in many sections of the burned district.
 MT. Potter, the associate for ester, says it was incendiarism. Anyone who has been up against the grazing rules of the forest ser vice to any extent can we'll believe that, for the so-called rules and injustice dealt out by that division are sufficient almost to drive stock men to extreme measures to call attention to their distress.
