THE EXTRA SESSION.

Irrespective of politics, the taxpay-
ers of Idaho, it would seem will ap-
preciate Governor Hawley's proposed
plan of calling special session OF
the state legislature for the purpose
OF correcting the present demoralized
condition of our tax laws, and of adj
justing the abuses which have grown
up because of the demoralized code.
There is no question that the law
provides for a cash valuation, and no
question but that the law, as in the
Ada county shool cases, provides for
the raising of far more money than is
needed for some purposes. There can
be no question but that this is a sad
mistake and should be remedied The
taxes of the state are without doubt
in a great muddle, and it will be of
general satisfaction to the property
owners and taxpayers to have the code
so changed that no injustice shall be
done, and that no law need be broken
to secure justice.

THEODORE is RADICAL.

Perhaps the most radical utterance
in a generation noted for radicalism,
is that of former President Theodore
Roosevelt in a recent Outlook, in
which, discussing the action of the SUI
preme court in reading into Sherman
antitrust law the word reasonable, y
he says:
at has been contended that in its
recent decisions the supreme court
legislated; so it did; it had to; be-
cause congress had signally failed to
do it's duty by Legislation. For the
supreme court to nullify an act of
legislation as unconstitutional, ex-
cept on clearest grounds is usurpa-
ton; to interpret such an act obvious
ly in a wrong sense is usurpation; but
where the legislative body persistent
ly leaves open a field which is abso-
lutely important from a public stand
point to fill, then no possible blame
attaches to the official or officials who
step in because they have to and who
then do the work in the interests of
the people, The blame in such cases
lies with the body which has been
derelict, and not with the body which
has reluctantly made good the dere-
LECTION.
This is nothing less than the sur
prising, if not perhaps altogether I'M
expected confession that the legislative
machinery of our constitutional fa
theirs is entirely inadequate to the
needs of modern democracy. Certain
ly, as Mr. Roosevelt has said, the ma
ton is suffering and long has suffered

THE PAY OF PROFESSORS.

Chicago Post: In his inaugural adj
dress at the University of Minnesota,
President Vincent laid stress on the
need of proper provision for professors
and instructors in a modern universe
ty. Fine buildings, he said, were Of
secondary Importance, though desira-
BILE; the first need he held to be an
able staff drawn and held to the uni
versity ''by salaries that Danish petty
anxieties, by freedom from drudgery,
by opportunities for research and pub
lie service, and by dignifying recogni-
ton"
There can be no doubt that most
professors are inadequately paid. The
average is too low Yet the work of
teachers is of as great Importance as
that of any liberal profession
In many cases, salaries in a uni
versity or college are kept down be-
cause of the desire for new buildings.
This is not only unjust but in the end
Improbable. President Vincent's plea
should result in a more general recog-
milton of the claims of professors.
