There have been some salary bills
introduced in the legislature. and the
Liberal thinks they could be improved
on They are all similar in proper
ton. As an example the Hinkle bill
provides for Grant county with salar-
les for commissioners Of $500. This
is too much A pay of $40 per day.
and necessary travelling expenses
would be ample Treasurer and as
SCISSOR $4,000 each. If the assessor
will put in his time getting acquaint-
ed with the county this would not be
too. much. but il is entirely too much
for the treasurer. An average hum
bred dollar bank clerk does many
times as much work as the treasurer
and his bond limits his personal re-
sponsibility. The clerk and the sher-
if have $4,000. This is too much for
the clerk A pay of $1,000 and a pro
vision for the commissioners hiring
clerks for him when the recording and
abstracting show a sufficient profit
would be more equitable The sher-
iffs salary Is. TO say the least. liberal

~ RECON has been a state for 20
years, but did not work seriously
at it until few years ago, when
1t began to have bOoms. expositions, pro
gressiveism and constitutional conven-
lions all al. the same time. 1t is now
massive commonwealth with 100000
people, the initiative and referendum,
the recall, three rival railroad systems,
1000 real estate agents, and many other
features which make sleep during bust
ness hours impossible within its borders.
Oregon has been known ever since
Messrs. Lewis & Clark, the celebrated
explorers team. discovered it in 1904,
but it took half century to find some
use for it. In 1880, Oregon was a raw
and unknown interior with a rim Of
settled country around two sides A
railroad ran along these two sides and
allowed the $4,000 Oregonisns a small
commission on their products, after de-
Quoting freight charges. About this
time, however. IL was discovered that by
supplying an ordinary apple tree with an
irrigation ditch, a trained nurse, a mas
seuse, an osteopath and soft music dur
ing the spring season, the famous Oregon
apple could be produced. Since this dis
eovery Oregon has grown rapidly and is
now covered with happy agriculturists
lowering red apples out of their pedigreed
orchard trees with derricBs and shipping
them east to sell in Wall Street at
cents "a bite.
Oregon still consists mostly of desert
and forest. but Is rapidly being conven-
tionalized by the sawmill and the irri-
eating ditch. II abuts California on the
south and the Pacific ocean on the west

calculation. The total wheat crop IS put at 720.0OO,0O0 bushels, about one hundret millions above last year. The cats crop is an actual record with aa Increase of almost 2OO,OOO.O 900 bushels. The hay crop IS not reported, but i; generous, and the cotton crop daily creeps toward the record. Thanks giving this year ought to be heartfelt.
 It is worth remarking that we owe these blessings more to nature than to the farmers. They harvest five mil. lion fewer acres of wheat, an almost identical acreage of oats, and trifiing addition in breadth of corn. The se- cret of this years plenty lies in the high condition of the harvest, which is due to the weather more than to the cultivators. It is only fair to them to say that they are always more or less at the mercy of the clements, and that sometimes their misfortunes ara imputed to them for faults. The yield per acre Of Spring wheat is almost doubled, and may be a record, but still falls short of what is reaped where the price of the product is higher and the cost of the labor is less. But that this is due to the season rather than to the farmers seems to be indicated by the fact that the aggregate yield of wheat shows an increase per acre of only about one-third, or to sixteen bushels. The increase of oats is thirteen bushels per acre, an increase which is al most half a crop in any other year than this. There can no longer be any doubt that this billion-dollar country has a ten-billion-dollar-crop. In bush els there are more than we can eat, and almost more than the railways can carry.

and other campaigns-make millions of dollars by employing raw European labor at low rates. That labor comes Into the American labor market free in competition with American labor. The manuf1ctirms whose products are protected from competition with European products, so that they may sell them at artificial prices in the United States. get their labor under the laws Of supply and demand. The more scum" labor they can get at cut rates the better. The American born working man may compete with t if he likes, or seek employment in the west while a majority of the raw European immigrants stop cast of the Alleghanies.

matter has been sent out that should have been a factor in crop production.
 It is to be hoped. certainly, that all the efforts and all the expense Of alis output of bulletins and reports has had some effect. and no doubt under intelligent direction there will be q much higher average per acre in the future. That we can continue to i'm prove is clearly indicated by a com. Earison with other countries. Though our wheat crop is the largest in the world. it Is less than three times that Of France, a thickly populated coun- try having an area much smaller than that of the State of Texas. Then there is Germany, another old coun- try, which not only beats Us to a fraz gle in the growing of potatoes but pro. duced a dozen times as much rye as the United States. Of course We have corn In amazing quantity, but we ha:e the land and every square mile of the land can be made to do better than it has done. The big crop, therefore, is not only fine thing in itself, an as. suranee Of abundance now, an assur. ance also that the good tunes will con. tinue, but it is an indication that tho persistent application of brains to the soil will result in st.H more bountiful haTvests.

trust, the corruption Of party organiza. tons, the establishment in irresponsi- ble power of the bosses-all these flow immediately and inevitably from the working of the system of legisla- ton for private interests at the eI- epnse of the public The voters are gradually fixing their attention on concrete realities and losing their fondness for mere theories, some oi which are, and most of them are not, sincerely taught to them.
 "In these conditions, what Is the stand of each party: It is entirely clear. On the tariff Mr. Taft and the republicans stand pat. So do Mir Roosevelt and the Progressives. A victory for either would not lead to the practical reduction of the evils of the tariff. Mir. Wilson and the dem. ocrats stand for substantial reduction of the tariff as far and as fast as can be brought about withou. unnecessary disturbance of general business. The difference is well dednei. With MT. Taft or Mir Roosevelt, the danger Of disturbance would be made the excuse for doing nothing. With MT. Wilson it would be made the reason for not trying to do too much. This clearcut distinction is settling in the minds Of the voters. It will determine their action. For, after all, the AmericaL people have not really lost their na tive shrewdness between shadow and substance. their tendency, when it comes to a decision, to lose interest in the shadow and to take unto them selves the substance. They have been more or less stirred up by the stren- uous antics of MT. Roosevelt, and some of them have been persuaded that he was a great prophet making the path straight for gfeat achieve ments. Even these are seeing the ludicrous or the shameful contrast be tween his professions and his per formance. And the country as a whole is getting ready to vote next month on the issue of the tarif."

An article in a Phoenix newspaper tells of the swarms of state officials, commissions. boards of examiners, taxation boards, land agents, chief clerks, sub-clerks and assistant clerks that are now housed in the state cap ital building. In the old days of the territorial regime where the legisla- ture adjourned silence reigned in the legislative halls and committee rooms for two years and the bats ond beetles had their way. But, alas, and woe 10 the taxpayers and homeless bats and beetles, the last legislature ere ated enough new officers, boards and commissions and supplied them with enough clerks and assistants to ill every crack and cranny of the state house from cellar to dome.

THE BOUNTY OF NATURE.

The government crop report issued last week. the last one before promise becomes reality. establishes next to certainty that there Is no other year to compare with this annual crcp yield.
 There have been greater yields of wheat, and of corn and of cotton, but those records yields did not come to- gether, as do the great yields of this year. The only it comparison with this year is a year composed of aIl the yarous hests on record. and then thk year would run tiist year hard, soleven is the excellence of 'all agri- cultural products.

The railway president assured him that something might be done to find a market at such prices that 1t would be an inducement for him to continue their cultivation. He took a few of the onions into his pri-
 yate ear, where they were served at meals. and they proved very delicious. At Empalme he called attention of the commercial agent of the company to the onions, gave him the address of the raisers, and instructed him to make an effort to find markets for them With little telegraphing to Hermosillo, Cananea and other points, the commercial agent worked of the entire ninety tons, and the grower realized good prices-so good that he will plant Bermuda onions again next year. t#aA

 Alter all the noise that has been raised as to the progressive" doc. trines of this or that party, the tariff remains the practical issue in the cagl- paign- An experienced observer. re- turning from an extended tour only this week, remarked: The only thing men are talking about in earn est is the tariff. For CT against, sub, s:antiaily all F.. votars are lining up 'a that issue.'
 And why nos asks the New York Times. Tt is the oalJ issue that can be directly and effectively dealt with in the election. 1t is national. It can be disposed Of Jy congress and the president. It .nvS'Ncs perfectly clear principles, whicn there will be no dl( iculty in applying by whichever party wins bower, It is an issue that inti- mately concerns the entire community and every family in it. It has been thoroughly discussed for years, and there has been a steadily increasing demand that it shall be settled in the direction of downward revision. Every voter knows at least in what direction his vote will have effect. On the is. sue he is not voting in the air. or try ing to begin to influence some future policy which he does not understand, and as to which he would be puzzled to act if he had the power.
 Tt is all very well to talk to the voters about social and industrial jus tice. and hours of labor. to arouse their indignation with corporations they know only vaguely about, to pro  pose to them a dozen new ways of voting and legislating and initiating and referending and recalling unth their heads swim.

 Colonel Roosevelt in his attack upon Governor Wilson for articles upon immigration written in 1899 is more consistent that he usually is. Governor Wilson discussed in those articles a question that was then under wide diseussion. and he expressed the ideas that were then, and are now. the ideas of thoughtfui American citizens. Gel. Ro0sevelts gallery play is a little more than that alone. It behooves any one who is advocating the perpetua- ton of the existing protective tariff system to advocate great freedom in the admission of pauper labor from Southern Europe.

DELAYS IN CRIMINAL CASES.

CRIMINAL CASES.
 The higher courts Of the country gradually are becoming impressed by the popular sentiment against the laws delays" The Criminal Court oi Appeals Of Oklahoma, in handing down a decision recently, said:
 The habit of reversing cases upon light and trivial grounds is to D. reprehended from every standpoint While it is true that a price should never be placed upon the admin.stra- ton of justice, and no man who has been unjustly convicted should evel be denied a hearing simply upon the ground of the expense of a second trial. yet this court will take judicial notice of the fact that the people Of this state are already heavily bur. dened with taxation and that one oi the principal items Of expense to tlG state Is the enforcement of its crim. inal laws. It would therefore be un- just to the people Of this state to add to this expense by revising convictions and sending cases back for retriaI, and thereby greatly increasing tine ex penses of the government, unless a necessity for doing so really existed" !"
 Every man who is charged with a criminal ohense is entitled to a fair trial and by all means should have one. If convicted after a fair trial justice should not be cheated by a resort to pettifoggsng technicalities. If there are grounds for q rehearing the defendant should have it, but these grounds should be substantial and should not involve mere technical CT TOTS which in no way affect the guilt on innocence of the accused.
 As the Oklahoma opinion points out. court proceedings are costly. The more trials that are held the greater is the burden Of expense to the tax, payer. Obviously. if a defendant is convicted after fair trial and his law. yers have no better basis than trivial technlcallties upon which to ask for a rehearing or review of the case there is little or no excuse for a re- yersaL The main question to be con. sidered is whether the accused is guilty or innocent If the evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty then the penalties pro vided by law should be inflicted with the least possible delay. !. should not he possible to wear oGt~ cases by re peated continuance in the lower courts and by appeals on insufficient grounds.
