HANS kRAUsPE
BUYS BIG TRACTOR

Hans lkrauspe, of Smith Valley,
purchased and received delivery last
week of a 1925 Sampson Sieve Grip
Tractor and engine gang plow. This
is one of the most complete outfits for
furnishing the much needed power on
the farm, received in the upper end of
Smith Valley this season, and the re-
suits of this machine is being watched
with much interest by his neighbors.
That the tractor is doing much to
help the farmer solve the problems of
labor and power on the farm is con-
ceded by all and each outfit as it comes
into a community IS watched with
much interest b yall concerned in
agricultural pursuits.
Mr.. krauspe is one of the success
full farmers in his locality and the out
fit he has just received speaks for pro-
gress.

XY.Z on The Due
Process of Law"

ton after motion is filed which ac-
complish nothing except to kill time.
The law determines penalties and lays
down rules of procedure but at the
same time provides trapdoors and
loopholes. These the astute lawyer
finds ard crawls through when too
tightly pressed only to appear agar
from another quarter with thund-
ering counter offensive. The court
being a conservative individual, and
holding an extremely high regard and
veneration for the majesty OF the law
grants or denies the claims presented
to him. He is determined that moth
ing shall be tolerated which is not il
accordance with due process Of law
Meanwhile expenses are piling up anG
strong indeed must be the pocketbool
that can stand the strain imposed upor
| IT, And if eventually the case be de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff, he finds
the cost of justice is more painful thar
the motive which prompted him to
seek it. If, on the other hand, the
defendant proves he was in the right
he too finds that he would have beer
money ahead, had time and trouble
saved. and ill-feeling avoided had he
agreed to the thing demanded of him
Such seems to be the cost of securing
justice.
Thus winds the legal path leading
to equity Occasionally the citizen
must endeavor to follow it. Soon he
knows not whence he came or whittier
he goeth. He therefore pleads. "Fia'
lux, Let there be light" What shall
be the answer?

In the days OF antiquity when our
less cultured ancestors knew OF no
legal codes, justice was secured
through personal effort. The offended
and his kin hunted out the offender
and his clan and inflicted upon him
and them as punishment an act sim
liar to the crime itself. This is known
as the Eye for an eye, tooth for /
tooth" method. Obviously justice
was secured promptly and decisively.
There could be no appeals to higher
tribunal. However to every clear
minded person it is evident that such
an institution does not promote an
orderly and well-balanced society
Justice was secured, true enough, but
continuous feud and disorder neces-
sarily resulted Therefore society dis
carded this method and has developed
in its stead the modern law court and
the maze of legal technicalities which
every one accepts but does not under
stand.
Our legal system has become slower
than the proverbial molasses in jan
uary 1t often appears as if justice in
the case were a matter of minor i'm
portance Righteousness is often
walled up in labyrinth OF technical
ties through which there appears to
be no clearly defined road leading to
equity, and through which the ltigant
is led by his counsel. now one way
now another, until the mind of the
former and frequently that OF the lat
ter as well, is confused beyond calm
reckoning. A demurrer is interposed
to perfectly good complaint and mo-
