The old scheme to divide Kansas
into two federal court districts has
been revived by the Democratic rep
resentatives Of Kansas in congress
and ought to meet the swift fate
that 1t received under a Republican
administration. There is no earthly
purpose in it except to furnish
new list of Jobs. The federal court
of the district of Kansas now works
about two-thirds the year and to
make two courts would be the limit
of uselessness. There ought to be
some sense Of decency in distributing
the work of the courts. Kansas has
36 judicial districts with SO judges
and SO stenographers. Twenty OF
perhaps is could do the work but
the legislature refused to redistrict
the state. Good government includes
the courage to reduce the expendi-
lures where public service can be
maintained thereby and taxes saved
to the people.

Oregon $ delegation at Washington
deserves credit for the fight made to
secure the state its share of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of the o. & C. rail.
road land grant, especially Senators
Chamberlain and Lane and Represen-
tatives Sinnott and Macarthur. Cong.
ressman Hawley delayed action while
the others were busy, but at the ele-
yenth hour rendered tardy assistance.
The delegation was hampered by the
failure Of the governor Of Oregon to
support their efforts, by the midnight
resolution Of the legislature favoring
the railroad company and by the fail
ure Of the state conference called by
the governor to take any action.
Oregon was entitled to the 90 per
cent Of the proceeds demanded by the
Chamberlain bill, but the opposition
Of certain interests rendered it impos.
sible to secure it. The supreme court
held that the disposition Of the grant
must be made by congress by June 9,
when, if congress failed TO act, the rail
road might apply for a modification Of
the degree. As the national conventions
absorb the attention Of congress this
week, speedy action was necessitated,
and Senator Chamberlain, as a conferee
secured the best terms possible.
Under the provisions Of bin as
agreed upon, so per cent Of the pro.
eeeds from the sale Of timber goes to
Oregon, 80 per cent to the national re-
clamaton fund and 10 per cent TO the
federal treasury for cost Of administra-
ton. OF Oregon Is so per cent, 20 per
cent goes to the school fund and o5 per
cent to the land grant counties, to be
expended by the county courts for
