WHOSE?

A prominent newspaper of a large
city in a great central state, where the
legislature assembled last week, has
an editorial which bears the heading,
Whose Legislature Is This"
That line. of itself, carries impress
sive commentary upon the depths to
which our Legislative system has sunk.
1t has come to be a recognized fact
that somebody or some interest owns
each legislative assembly.
The foundation of the progressive
movement lies in the desire that the
answer to the question, Whose Leg
isiature Is This?' may be given in just
two words. The People's.' There is
ground for the hope that Montana's
Thirteenth assembly win be listed as
the peoples legislature. A good start
has been made in that direction.

term would be equivalent to tenure at
the pleasure of the senate. To him
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. might mean any de-
gree Of bad administration that the
senate might wish. Mr.. Morris of New
York, replied that a four-year term
Would prevent maladministration, SO
the phrase would do no harm. But
Colonel Mason decided to withdraw it
and substitute 'or other high crimes
and misdemeanors.' That was accept
able to Madison, and it became a part
of the constitution.
The debates Of the constitutional
convention reveal many widely vary
ing opinions concerning impeachments.
Some members advocated a court of
impeachment composed of the chief
justices of all the state supreme courts.
Mr.. Madison objected to a trial of the
president by the senate, especially in
view of the fact that the power of
impeachment was to be reposd in the
house. He thought that this would
give congress control over the presi-
dent and keep him in fear of it. He
wanted the supreme court to try i'm
peachments. or at least to form a part
of the tribunal that should do so. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Madison did not real
lie how party spirit was destined to
prove a practical insurance against
the successful Impeachment of the
president.
Mr.. Morris insisted that the senate
was the only proper tribunal. He
thought the supreme too few in
numbers and too likely to be warped
and corrupted. He thought the great
est danger that could come to the
country would be legislative tyranny,
but that to vest the trial of impeach-
ment cases in the senate would not
augment that danger. Mr.. Pinkney
opposed giving the power of trying m
peachments of the president to the
senate He thought might
combine against him-fears that were
destined to be realized when President
Johnson was impeached.
The question of whether the presi-
dent should be impeachable at all was
che that excited no little debate in the
constitutional convention. Mr.. Pink
ney n Mr.. Morris held that he ought
not to be. Mr.. Davie said that If he
were not he would go to any length
to secure his reelection. Mr.. Morris
assorted that he could commit no Grim
lnal act without coadjutors, and that
they could be punished. Colonel Ma
son replied that he did not think n
man ought to be above justice.
DR.. Franklin observed that where
the right of Impeachment was not
recognized, assassination had been the
alternative. Mr.. King observed that

Olympia, Wash, Jan. II. = The
Washington legislature will meet at
moo tomorrow for the regular bien-
mia sessions of 60 days. The recent
political revolution in the state, which
resulted in the election of a demo-
cratic governor and many progressive
senators and representatives and the
retirement of numerous old party lead
ers, has made ii difficult to forecast
the measures hat will be passed. The
progressives clam eight senators, the
democrats have eight and the repub-

possible for progressives and demo-
Gratis to combine against the repub-
licans, who are in a minority. There

house. The prorressives took steps
last week to perpetuate and strength

INSURANCE IN ENGLAND.

Next Wednesday is the day set for
the beginning of the benefit provisions
of the much-discussed British national
insurance act. This act is a measure
for insuring working people against
illness or disability injury by means of
a fund to which the workers., them
selves, their employers and the general
government contribute in specified pro-
portions. 1t will affect more than
thirteen millions of people of all ages,
and occupations. Under its pro-
visions, all workers are entitled to re-
ceivc free medical attendance when
i'll and, if permanently incapacitated
from earning a living for themselves,
to be the recipients of a benefit until
their seventeen year, when they will
be entitled to enjoy the benefits of
the Lloyd-George old-age pension law
of 1909.
No other social reform measure

or Importance the national
act. The measure is of ne
cessity a highly complex one, and will
take much time and patience to get
it into smoothly running order. The
greatest opposition to its enforcement
naturally come from the medical
profession, who see in its operation a
decrease in their revenues. For
4 time it looked as though the OPPOSE
ton of the physicians would prove an
insurmountable obstacle. The British
Medical association openly declared a
boycott and took steps to prevent any
If it's members from complying with
act. But with mutual concessions
IN both sides, the difficulties that at
confronted the government in it's
enforcement of the act appear to have
neen largely overcome. Many physi-

Impeachment Trials
III.-Their Constitutional Origin.
BY Frederic j.. Haskin

1t is well known that the American
system of Impeachment Of the civil OF
ficers of the United states had its or
igin in the English system of juris-
prudence. In fact, so closely related
are the American and English systems
that the average brief in an impeach-
ment case before the senate deals al
most as much with English as with
Amrican ~precedents.
The main contention in the majority
of the impeachment trials that have
taken place before the senate has been
the construction of the phrase, high
crimes and misdemeanors.' The de-
Tense usually claims that these crimes
and misdemeanors are only those that
are indiCtable in courts of law. The
contention of Judge Archibald is de-
Vclopod along that line. on the other
hand, the house managers always, or
nearly always, have contended that
they do not refer exclusively to acts
that are crimes and miSdemeanors at
law. And they nave pointed to Eng
lish precedent to prove this. They cite
the Ease of a lord chancellor who was
impeached for affiXing the great seal
to what was regarded as an ignom-
nous treaty; of Il lord admiral I'M
pcachcd for neglecting the safeguard
o. the sea: of a councillor who gave a
king bad advice; and dozens of other
cases where the remedy could not
courts.
This whole issue was injected into
the constitution as a result of an ar
Gument between colonel Mason and
Mr.. Madison, both of Virginia, when
he matter was pending in the consti-
t%utional convention. The draft, as it
existed before this exchange of ideas,
provided that impeachments should be
for treason and bribery. When it was
reached Colonel Mason wanted to
know why im~peachable offenses should
be restricted to ease and bribery.
He pointed out that a charge of treas
on. as defined by the constitution,
would not reach many great and dan
scrouS offences, and called attention to
the fact that Hastings was not guilty
OF treason, and to the fact that at
tempts to subvert the constitution iself
would not necessarily be treason.
He further added, that since bills of
attainder, which had saved the Brit
ish constitution, We're forbidden by the
United states constitution, it became
al the more necessary to extend the
power of impeachments. Therefore, he
moved an amendment in the shape of
the addition of the phrase "or malad-
ministration.' Mr.. E,bridge Gerry sec
ended his motion. Mr.. Madison OBJ
jected to the amendment. declaring
that the employment of so vague a
