THE SUPREME BOSS

The railroads are each and all bringing actions against
the trainmen and United States district attorneys to
prevent the Adamson law being made effective IN most
of these cases the complaint sets up that the law is u
constitutional This law passed by the two houses OF
congress- was signed by the president and became law
thereby 1t passed by the people through their repre-
senatves and was and therefore the act OF the peo
pe Who then has right to say it is unconstitutional
or for that matter say anything else about 1t that can IN
anyway affect it? In the formation OF the government
there three distinct and coordinate branches OF
government established The executive the Legislative
and the judicial At no time was the judicial branch
given any authority the Others and that 1t assumes
that authority is in itself unconstitutional.
There is no branch of government above the people VINO
compose the governed and who under our system are
the government Their will is law. They can change the
constitution any time and do away with the judicial
branch entirely if they see fit to do So
When did the judges of the country become greater
than the people? Can creature become greater than its
creator? Can Judge appointed by the people through
their president tell the president where ne must get OIL
at? Can Judge or supreme court override the VIII Oh
the people and tell them they shall not have something
thev have voted to have? The legislators fresh from the
people pass law the voters demand; by what authority
does anyone presume to question the right OF the people
to have what they want and to tell tne ney eaiG. bs
have it? If there is anywhere in any constitution TINS
authority granted to the Judiciary 1t should be puDsneo
to the world that all may know that here IN America
where the people rule or are supposed TO- tIere
power greater than the legislature, greater than the
president and higher than the people themselves II TINS
is the case then longer frse people but one
over whom there is power higher than all else except
God If this idea of the supremacy of the judiciary is
right then the time is not far distant when the people
will select judiciary that will let them have something
to say about what they want in the way of laws.
1t great thing for just such as that now alls-
ing over the Adamson BILL and it suits the eight billion
dollar organization exactly to have branch of the gov
ernment above the people to which it appeal an all
powerful branch of government that will assist the rail
roads and the eight billion dollar gang to override con-
gress and the president and snap their fingers at the
1eone The first thing the attorneys for the govern
men should do is to test the constitutionaity of the
udge-made proposition that the judicial system above
the legislative and executive and to show If this So
how it became so.

TAX LIMITATION BILL

Salem, Ore, Nov. Il, 1916.
To the Editor: Inasmuch as there
has been considerable discussion per-
tanning to the Six Per Cent Tax Limi,
tation Bill, which was lately passed,
desire to make known my position on
this measure.
/ opposed this bill before the cleo
tion on the ground that it did not ap-
Iply as was intended by its makers and
under its provisions the state could not
raise within $5S3,000 as much next
year as they thought it could.
The object of the bill was to pre-
vent the state or any tax lcvying dis
trict in the state from spending more
money one year than it had spent the
preceding year, plus six per cent, but
the bill was made to read that neither
the state nor any tax levying district
in the state can raise more money one
year than it raised the preceding year,
plus six per cent, which is quite a diff
fcrent proposition. For instance, the
State of Oregon required to pay the
running expenses of its departments
and institutions for the year 1916, 49,
100000, in addition to money raised
from indirect sources. The state car
ried over an unexpended balance from
1918, of $550,0O0, and after deducting
this amount from the amount required,
namely SO, 100000. it raised but 50 ,550,-
900 for 1916, although it spent $S,l00,-
600. Now, under the provisions of this
constitutional amendment the state
cannot raise but six per eent more than
S2,50o,000 next year, or S2,703,0O0,

THE WHOLE BODY
, NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling. Be sure to get Hoods and
get it today. All druggists.

which is 100000 less than the amount
expended in 1916.
Mr.. Robert Smith, secretary of the
Tax Payers League, which body
drafted this bill, admitted, in dis
cussion with me, before the Chamber
of Commerce in Portland, Monday,
October 29th, that the committee did
not know, when drafting this measure,
the state carried over balance OF
S550,O00 into this year S budget There
fore, they thought they were placing
the state on an equality with other
municipalities by permitting it to raise
for 1917 as much as il spent in 1916
and six per cent more, which would be
100000 plus six per cent, or $3,2S6-
600. which is $5S3,000 more than it
actually can raise, under the provisions
of the bill. As proof of this, Mr..
Smith, secretary of the Tax Payers
League, said in his argument in the
voters pamphlet, referring TO the bill,
"It means that Oregon can continue
to spend all the money she is now ex-
pending and can increase it six per
cent; but if our public officials wish to
increase il at faster rate they must
get the authority of the voters.
Now, as matter of fact, this meas
ure does not mean anything of the
kind, but in the way it applies, it
means that the state can raise 50 $780,
GOO plus six per cent, or 100000 less
that it is now spending and that it can
not raise within S5s3,000 of what Mr.
Smith and others thought it could
raise and intended it could raise when
drafting the bill.
Therefore, instead of permitting the

LATE HOP NOTES.

Lewis Keihl has sold IS bales of hops
. to Bishop of McMinnville at IL cents.
This was a lot of prime to choice hops.
Henry L. Bents bought 81 bales of
hops from Ella NJ. Finney at Gervais
this week at 10 3-4 cents, and is shipping
two cars from Oregon Electric points.
Getting cars on that road is now be-
coming very uncertain. 1t required over
10 days to secure the two Mr.. Bents
shipped out.
Fred Bates has sold his lot of ia
bales of hops to L. l.. Gribble, for the
Wolf Hop company at III cents. This
was one of the best lots in the Aurora
section, it is said.
Buck Hutchinson has contracted 90
600 pounds Of 1917 hops from the Gil
berton yards near Fargo to l.. l.. Crib
bic for the Seavey Hop company at Ii
cents. The 1916 hops from this yard
were contracted to the same firm.
Most hop growers are agreed that
the coast hop crop will be greatly re-
duced next year. The spread of pro-
hibition is discouraging to the hop in
dustry, though the newly voted dry
states do not become actually dry until
1919. The trend of that many growers
profess to see the end of the business
and will prepare for something else to
follow it, though few of them know
what it will be.
Last week showed considerable move
ment in hops on the coast some $500
bales changed hands in the coast states,
at prices varying from Sc to 12c. The
highest price reported paid in Oregon
last week was II 1-2c, though Yakima
lots are said to have sold at lie to 13c.
