Judge Lynch Versus Judge Law

John +. Egan, formerly State Treasurer of the State of Nevada,
many years ago related the following to an occasional correspondent
OF the Carson Appeal, with reference to the high price of food:
1t occurred in a little mining camp near Boise City, Idaho, in
the early sixties. Owing to the long continued storms, the camp
became practically marooned. II was impossible to get in or out
Provisions were very short. There was but one grocery store in
town. The owner raised the price of provisions from 81 a pound
to SO a pound. Nothing to sustain life could be gotten s where.
The miners met, and after a very brief discussion, resolved that
provisions were only 81 a pound.
They appointed a committee. The committee waited upon the
storekeeper, and told him that groceries were only 81 a pound. He
failed to agree. They fred him out Of possession, and took pos
session, placing a committee in charge. The committee doled out
the groceries in the smallest quantities they possibly could, and
credited the s~torekeeper with a dollar a pound for the same. When
the roads were finally opened and provisions could be brought into
camp, the committee rendered a full accounting to the storekeeper
and restored him into possession.
The foregoing brief statement Of facts is not a solitaire in the
experience of the argonauts to the Pacific Coast I'll only one of
many. However, it illustrates that Judge Lynch, in a pinch, is a
better Judge than Judge Law, and that the Supreme Court of the
United States, hampered as it is, by the Constitution, by Statutes,
and by precedents, could not, under such circumstances, do as
well as Judge Lynch.

Uncle Sans Growing Pay Roll

1t is well that the people of this country should realize wh.,
burden their Government is coming to be- We know what vas,
sums have been spent and are being spent for Army and NAVY and
Pensions, but we do not always realize how great has been the
increase in the ordinary expenditures
1t was pointed out during the last campaign that almos. 1oo
600 names bad been added to the Nations nav roll dnr;no ,ba
administration of President Roosevelt. This involved an increase
OF salaries OF s~1o,OOo,OOO. The increase in employees was at the
rate OF l4,OOO a year and in salaries of s1O,O 900 900 a wear. Tn the
last full year OF Roosevelt this rate of increase was exceeded the
number OF new employees being $4,000. And the figures are still
climbing We now have 10000 public servants, as against $685.
600 last year.
These figures should give us pause. We are now paving more
than s4oooO0,OOO IN salaries alone. Each man, woman and child is
being taxed $3.50 each year simply for the ordinary expenses of the
Governments sum which used to be almost enough to meet all
expenses, ordinary and extraordinary. No one doubts that the
Government could, if it were organized and conducted on business
principles-as it probably never will be-be carried on for one-half
the amount now used to maintain it.
But even if we cannot get on a business basis, we ought to be
able to make some retrenchment in our pay roll. The land is filled
with special agents, secret service men, inspectors and inspectors of
inspectors. Special counsel have been hired to do work which
other men were paid for doing and should have done. Assistant
attorneys have been multiplied beyond all reason. And the result
IS now before US. Nor have we reached the end.
1t is not surprising that the President should have a good deal
virtue. In these days of high prices and mounting taxes, it is we'll
that we should give some attention to saving money All this
money comes out of the people, much of it from those who cannot
shift the burden Of taxation-that is, the poorer people, the much
talked of ultimate onsumere.-Indianapoli News.

Farmers Are Feeding Many Quail

Wiunemucca Star: The intensely cold
weather and heavy snowfall throughout
the Paradise Valley section has driven
large quantities of quail into the differ
ent ranches, where they are being fed
by the ranchers. At nearly every ranch
in the valley a large number Of these
beautiful game birds are being fed. 1t
is said that in a number of instances the
quail are SO tame that they will hardly
get out of the way of persons working
around the ranches. Paradise Valley
has long been noted for its large number
of quail and the farmers make it their
duty to care for and protect them. The
little birds look very pretty strutting
around the barn yards and ~corrals,
mingling with the chickens, which
share their feed with them.
