A JUDICIAL JOSS.
portland Journal)


Even the bolts and bars OF prison
cannot shut In a principle. 1t is
not the jailed newspaper men that
the country is condemning at Boise
1t is the Idaho supreme court that
is under almost univeral censure.
The whole United States has taken
note of the courts action. and
scarcely a voice Is lifted in defense
of the judges. Everywhere 1t Is
being said that the falling of the
men without a trial by Jury and
without right of appeal closely con-
Germs the whole question of human
freedom, and that 1t presents an
issue that must be speedily solved.
The weapon used by the court is
a hand NEE down. When the gov
ernment was organized the con-
tempt prerogative passed into vogue
in American courts from use in the
courts of the colonies. Its authority
is the English common law dating
back through centuries and made up
mostly Of judicial decisions.
That the court had the power to
try It's own case against the news
paper men, that it had the right to
try them without jury and deny
them the right of appeal Is not de-
MED Exactly such a power should
be expected IN a Jurisprudence de-
rived from such a source, a source
in which kings claiming divine right
often made the law and acted as
super supreme courts. 1t Is such "A
judicial system. modified only by
the New York revision of 1S4S, and
made worse In many ways by more

our litigation Is conducted.
It is under such system that our
criminals are tried. It is such
system on which our courts are
founded. II Is such system that
many of our lawyers worship with
the idolatry with which heather
worships joss. 1t is such a system
that the majority report of the Ore
gon judiciary commission says needs
but little change.
The power that was exercised in
Idaho can be exercised In Oregon.
One reason why it has not been ex-
ereised in Oregon in recent years is
that Oregon has saner judges. An
other is that the seque. in one case
in which it was employed in Oregon
stands as popular protest and a
powerful warning.
The insistence on clinging to these
old legal josses is Bourbonism. It is

wilson IS ASKED
TO SETTLE THE
ILLINOIS FIGHT
The President elect Called

Speakership Contest Be-
tween Factions.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE Democratic
state leaders have planned to present
the Illinois speakership problem to
President elect Wilson in the hope that
word from him will solve the difficulty.
Back of the speakership fight rests two
seats in the United States senate and
the dominant party fears that the
squabble may prevent electing one or
both of the senators.
The speakership fight is waged by
factions led by Roger c. Sullivan and
Governor elect Dunno. The latter
holds that no man who Joined in the
election of Lorimer should WELD the
gavel. Sullivan's candidate for speaker
supported Lorimer. The Progressives
and Socialists are watching the fight,
hoping to profit by the disagreement.

REcoRD.BREAkING
MINERAL PRODUCTION

The value Of all minerals produced
in the United States, in 1912, accord
ing to figures just compiled by Ed
ward w. Parker, statistician, of the
U. s. Geological Survey, reached the
record-breaking total of $2.243. $50, 1926
This is more than six times the value
of the production in 1882. 80 years
ago. During that period the popula-
ton has not quite doubled. but the
per capita output Of the mines has in
creased from $7.27 to $23.47.
During these three decades the val
ue of the output of some minerals
has made a striking increase. The
value Of the pig-iron product, for in
stance, has increased from LOG to 420
million dollars; copper from 16 to 20!
million dollars; lead from IL to 81
million dollars; zinc from 146 to 695
million dollars; petroleum from "a
to 163 million dollars; natural gas
gas from 215 thousand to "a million
dollars; gold from 32 to SO million
dollars; cement from $3.600,O00 to
$50 .OOO. 900.
Still more striking Illustrations of
the growth of the mineral industry
in the United States are the figures
showing that while in 1880 the total
mineral production in the United
States was valued at $364.000. 900, in
1912 the value of the pig iron alone
was $42O. 900, 900, while the value OF
the coal production for 1912 was
nearly double the total mineral out
put of 30 years ago. In 1880 the val
ue of the mineral products was ap-
proximately 81 100000 day; in 1912
it was over $4,000. 900 day.-Minine

the executors of his will were reluc-

whereby local capital is now rea

with the exception that the dumps

shipped to local mills, about a dozen
years ago, with good results.

MINING ITEMS
OF INTEREST
STORM STOPS WORK
AT LONDON MINE

The recent big snowstOrm has clos
ed the celebrated London mine at
Twelve Mile, temporarily, on account
of lack of coal to supply the mine
and mill. The property is owned by
our worthy fellow townsman, DR.. Ii.
the London Mining company. viii
Mcleod is the resident manager.
Since the new company took pos
session last summer they have been
busy erecting two-story boarding
house, 80 by 45 feet, shaft house,
barns, and a ten stamp mill of the
most modern type, and the big snow
storm caught them before their bins
were filled with their winters supply
OF coal. The mill and mine had been
IN operation only seventeen days
when the shut down came, and dur
ing that time an addition to tlie mill
was built, a pump station cut and
pump Installed. A water system was
built to convey the mine water to
the mill for operating purposes. and
produced 20 tons of concentrates that
assay from $54 to 500 per ton. On
account of the delay the copper
plates we're not installed until the
last shift, and that one day yielded
over one ton Of concentrates worth
SIS and the plates yielded ounces
OF gold, the estimated saving being
so per cent. The mine is 1870 feet
deep and the concentrating ore In
the levels ranges from to feet
wide, worth from 10 to 10 dollars a
ton in crude, with several streaks
of smelling ore from two to four
inches wide, that assays from s63
to $4S5 per ton. 1t is most unfor-
tunate to Gilpin county as well as to
the mine owners that this mine had
to close down, as 1t bids fair. with
development, to be one of the great
est. II not the greatest producer IN
the county. This is only one OF the
great mines lying in the northern
portion of the county. And next sea
son prospecting will undoubtedly re
veal many more mines in that vicini
ty, equally as good. II the remain
der of the winter continues mild. the
management intends to shovel out
the road and stock up with coal and
resume operations soon after the firs'

deal justly with the west, but we
must make our wants and wishes
known. How different from Webster
is Congressman Scott Ferris of Okla
hOma, chairman of the committee on
public lands. For the benefit Of the
reader we will quote a portion of his
great speech delivered on conserva-
ton and forest reserve:
I'm my judgment the United States
should long hesitate to follow theor-
les that greatly interfere with the
honest settler seeking a home and
the honest miner seeking a fortune
to enrich the world. We should not
inflict Federalism and long-range
government upon them until we blight
the hope of individual ambition and
endeavor. We should fight monopoly
and graft and greed at every turn of
the road, but we should not pursue
a nagging and gnawing process with
the settler or the miner who is seek
ing to develop the country in an hon
est and patriotic way.
THE sturdy pioneer of the West
is entitled to patient. painstaking,
and generous treatment at the hands
of our Federal government. The
men who are wrestling with the
drought. the semiarid conditions, the
wild and unsubdued sod, and all the
hardships and vicissitudes of the
great mountain ranges and desert
plains of the West, who by irriga-
ton, dry-farming methods, and min
ing are converting the West into a
garden of prosperity, who are rang
ing their flocks and their herds upon
a thousand hills, who are chiseling
from the unquarried rocks their
boundless treasure, are our brothers
in manhood, are our equals in intel
lect, patriotism, and integrity; yea,
they are our superiors in courage.
Why should they not be accorded ev.
cry consideration that was accorded
the early pioneers of our earlier set
tied states? What they have already
accomplished in the face of adver-
sity is the marvel Of the century
and beyond the hope of US all. With
proper consideration at the hands OF
this government, with careful and
well-digested laws to govern this un
bounded estate, with wise admins

their accomplishments have just be
