OF other" expresses the idea very Just
ly. 1t has been haphazard sort OF
winning, and at the peril of losing at
a cost in lives and waste OF money
that have been truly appalling. From
the difficulty that Washington had in
holding together the Continental Army,
10 the discraceful ipefiiciency of the
WIZ of 1912. through the tremendous
loss of men and money IN the War Of
tho Rebellion. right down to the sick
ening ravaees by disease among the
volunteers in camp during the war
with Spain, the United States has paid
dearly indeed for it's haphazard vic.
tories.
If we had had fair navy, and an
army respectable in numbers, there
would have been no war with Spain.
because Spain would have seen at once
that such 4 war WIS hopeless from the
first; and INC waste OF lives and of
money that we suffered in that war
would have been saved.
What the people of this country need
moro than anything else upon the
question Of the army and navy. is q
little common sense. They are able 20
see in almost everything else, that
preparation and strength count. but
they seem possessed with the idea that
no preparation is needed for a war
either upon land or sea; and it really
seems at times as if the writers of this
country and the peace advocates, would
like to see the United States fall into
the contemplate position that China
is In, the scorn of the nations, and the
prev of anv aggressive power.

han many articles which pay tariff

than many articles which pay tarlft
duty.
From this we have argued, and fully
believe, that the cause Of the advanced
prices of the necessities of life Is In
speculative combines which have con-
troll Of the market and arbitrarily hX
prices, especially retail prices, accord
ing to a speculative scale which has
nothing to do with the economic pr1n-
ciple of demand and supply being mu-
tually retroactive.
This position is reinforced by re-
port recently made to the British Far
lament by It's commission on labor
statistics, which also inquired into the
prices of the necessities of life IN the
British markets. The report shows
that it now takes 1898 pence to buy
the same quantity of necessities Tor
the laborer' family that he could buy
in 1896 for $50 pence, Conhnlng the
matter TO foodstuffs alone, the report
shows that the British laborer must
now paw 1874 pence for what cost hlm
sO.3 pence, in 1894. Here is gain on
the general proposition Of almost 20
per cent. or specific gain Of 3I1a per
cent in higher prices on the food nece5-
sities Of life.
But Great Britain is a free trade
country, and it would be impossible to
charge these great advances In the
prices Of the necessities Of life In
Great Britain to the tariff, and since
the tariff argument Will not ht either
| in this country, or in Great Britain, we
must fall back upon the real thing,
which is the speculative combines
which control the markets tho world
over. The era of competition has den
nitely passed, and the era of combina-
tiop for the purposes of control and
profit has definitely and powerfully
come. and the utmost ingenuity in our
! legislation and administration will
have to be exercised in order to head
off the practice of the co.-ibines which
control the markets, if indeed it shall
be found possible to achieve such con
troll to any marked extent.

DIVERSITY IN PRACTICE.

There has been q pronounced move
ment throughout the country for uni
formity in legislation and in court
practice in the different States, in the
matter of marriage and divorce, esPe-
cially in the granting Of divorces. But
it is by no means the case that these
are the only particulars IN which uni
formitv in the laws and in court prac-
tice is desirable among the States. We
are all familiar with the fact that
there are wide differences IN the
court practice of the different States;
in fact, there are differences In the
practice of different courts even IN the
same State We find, for instance,
that a Judge will sometimes impose a
ridiculously light sentence on n very
erievous offender. and that on the other
hand another Judge will impose very
severe sentence upon some offender Of
lesser grade. This is true, as we say,
not only between the States, but as be
tween judges in the same State, aud
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-07-12

it is an evil that, while everyone de-
plores it, is practically impossible to
correct. ...
An Eastern contemporary, for in
stance, calls attention to the fact that
in st. Joseph, Missouri, hungry man
forged check for % cents TO buy
breakfast, and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for FIVE years; but in St.
Paul, man who embezZled $4,000 to
make up his losses in speculation, was
on the same day turned loose by the
court on parole, to report three times
year for two years, to show that he
had reformed
These are rather extreme illustra-
tions of the point which we wish to
present, but they are typical. The laws
in the different States undoubtedly
vary far less than does the practice OF
the courts in enforcing those laws; for
we assume that in the matter Of em-
bezzlement and drawing false checks
and the like. the laws of Missouri do
not materially differ from the laws of
Minnesota; and vet such enormous diff
ferences as this are to be seen in court
judgments.
1t is one of the great problems of
the time to reconcile legislation and
the court practice of the different
States, in the handling of crime and
the punishment of criminals. A uni.
formity in statutes it would seem diff
"a ha "a p
easier to obtain this uniformity Of leg
islation than Of judgments of courts,
even under the same or similar stat
utes.
In the fault-hnding against the
courts, which reaches from a general
| arraignment of them as made
| by President Taft, that they
are too dilatory in their ac-
ton, too technical in their judg-
ments, TO the arraignment of them in
the matter of marriage and divorce,
and now to the complaints of the d..
! versities of the courts judgments, and
the enormous differences that judges
will make in imposing sentences upon
criminals, the matter must be consid-
cred by the public in all its phases.
We assume that the reason for the
recall of Judges has had its origin
largely in the diversities spoken Of,
and in the absurd differences that
courts Will make in their judgments
as TO offenders that are before them.
The question is a very large one, and
all that can be done is to present II.
and urge upon the courts themselves
that some sort of uniformity should be
adopted among them that will prevent
such glarinR differences as those men
toned above, The truth is that near
ly all the complaints that are made
against the courts are correctable by
the courts themselves; and if the Judges
throughout the Union, in all the States,
will take some means OF getting to-
gether on these matters, either by the
adoption of standards or by general
agreements, they will be able to do
away with a very large proportion OF
the criticisms which the public makes
upon the Judges. and the complaints
that are SO frequent and so bitter with
! respect to rulings Of the courts.
