of these measures helped to enact that fact should
also be determined and the law properly drawn
before il is enacted. Il is not sufficient in itself to
say there j. no basis at all for such charges against
the measureS--it Is perhaps more apt to be true
than untrue that the charges were merely trumpet
up--but the point is this: they have been made
and they have not been refuted. The recent dcci-
sion is based on as clear ii technicaliy as could he
offered in criticism Of court DECISIONS, though it is
undoubtedly right and proper
In other words We dislike to those who have
been the chiefest critics of technical court deci-
sions rest content with this one: dislike TO
those who have so loudly preached Legislative
Righteousness resort to techncalty to clear their
skirts of the charge that they have violated their
own preachments even though the charge be alb
solutely baseess. We hope they will not rest con
tent with that--we hope they will pursue vigor
Gus course to demonstrate the charge unfounded.
That is the only course that will place them right
before the public.

THE INITIATIVE DECISION.

The merits of the suit brought against the ini-
tiative measures for first aid bill and new fish
code that is, whether the titles Of these bills are
faulty, alleged or whether they do contain
arguments as subterfuge to avoid the payment
of the fee the initiative law requires, were not
passed upon in the decision Superior Judge
Wright handed down the other day-he simply
ruled that the questions raised were political and
that therefore the court had no jurisdiction. So
it seems to us rather empty victory for the pro-
ponents Of the measures.
If the titles of the bills are faulty they should
be amended now so that if adopted, the law enact
ed by the people at considerable expense would
not encounter the risk Of later being thrown out
for q reason such as that if arguments have
wrongfully been incorporated in their preambles
in violation of the very law which the proponents

Remembering how certain Of the gentlemen at
the national capital have been insisting that Amer
leans keep off the high seas, there is certainly
some excuse for the sarcastic recommendation that
they should now propose legislation intended to
prevent Americans getting closer than fifty miles
to the Mexican border. 1t would not indeed, be
departing so very far from the line of argument
followed by some senators and representatives in
the recent controversy with the president if joint
resolution should be offered in congress advising
all residents of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to
get under their beds until the present trouble is
over.

THERE'S REAL MONEY IN IT.

The farmers of this county-some of them, any
how-we are told do not realize the value the real
dollars and cents value, of a contrasting assoca-
ton as do those of other dstricts-Lewis county,
for example, or the Wynooche valley; they
slow to take hold of it and apt to refer to it
fully or sarcastcally, as if it it didn't amount to
anything. And we are also told that the organiza-
ton of the association is proceeding satisfactorily,
even though it is taking longer than expected.
There is only one way to look at cow-testing
association: will it pay? That is the acid test, and
it would seem that it can be simply applied.
One of the greatest farming problems in this
section arises from the high cost of stock feed
There is neither reason good business in feed
ing COW, if she does not produce more than the
cost Of her feed. But unless her production is reg
ularly and accurately tested there is way of
telling whether she is costing her owner money
making him money. So the federal department. of
agriculture evolved the plan of forming co-opera-
tive contrasting associations which would put the
cost to the individual farmer to so low point that
it would be only twelve and half cents per COW
per month.
There you have it in simple terms-how long
does it take COW to eat twelve and half cents
worth of feed?
