THE COUNTRY DOCTOR

The fact is that in every country
town are men whose lives are an in
splration. There are strong men in
these little places, men of great wis
dom, men of great strength of char
acter, men of great goodness. And,
further, they are playing just as use
ful parts as the so-called great men
of the cities.
Take the country doctor as an IL
lustration. There isn't man on
earth who plays a more important
part nor a more unselfish part, than
he does. He literally saves the ma
tion-for he saves the people of the
country. He goes day or night, in
all kinds of weather, and he is min
lister and adviser and counselor as
we'll as physician. The admonitions
which he gives in his quiet way. the
advice which he disseminates upon a
thousand subjects, the sanity that he
displays the common-sense- these
things have a tremendous influence
for good in the local community.
There is no one in city who serves
so thoroughly as does the country
doctor, no one man whose activities
mean SO much to the community.
And there are other types many of
them--tO be found in the country
town, types of men who are of great
worth to this great nation-even if
they do not get their names in The
paper every issue, Dayton News.

Ralph Comegys, chairman of the
road committee of the County Tax
league, has sent the following timely
hint to the members of the road
committee of that organization:
Drain bitches are full of snow
and culyerts are blocked with it,;
water is beginning to accumulate,
and if we get rain or a chinook look
out for floods. viii you at once
take such steps as you deem neces-
sary to warn the people of your dis
trict, particularly the road superyis-
ors and fOremen, of the condition,
and urge everyone to get busy and
keep busy until the water runs free
ly through the culyerts and down
the bitches and not across the road
and down the wheel tracks.

SUNDAY "MOVIES"

The city council has decided tc
refer to the people of the city the
question of whether or not the NOV
ing picture theatres of Pullman shall
be allowed to open on Sundays
Some are firmly opposed to the idea
while others are equally strong in its
favor. 1t is q debatable question,
and there is no need of getting ex-
cited over it.
This paper offers space in its next
issue to both sides in which to pre-
sent their arguments. At present a
large per cent of the people have
probably never given any attention
or thought to the question and they
would like to know the ideas of its
sponsors and opponents.
All articles submitted for publ
cation must be short, free from per-
sonalities or abuse, and signed by
the writer's They should reach this
office not later than the morning of
March IA. Persons who decline to
give an expression of their opinion
regarding this matter to the city
council, will have no excuse for COM
planning at any action taken by that
body.

illustrators of estates, and of the
opposition to the passing of a bill
designed to exempt school districts
from liability for accidents which
occur on school Fairgrounds.
This disclosure should open the
eyes of the farmers, business men
and wage earners of the state, to
the danger and folly of electing so
many lawyers to the legislature, as
to give them a perpOnderance of in
fluence. What is true of the legis-
lature is also true of congress.
There are many men of high char
acter and unimpeachable patriotism
in the legal profession, who have
contributed very valuable services in
the framing of national and state
legislation, but a government of the
lawyers, by the lawyers and for the
lawyers, is a very dangerous expert
ment. More farmers, business men,
educators and wage earners in our
law making bodies, and less lawyers,
would result in more wholesome and
beneficent legislation.

THE PEOPLE WILL APPROVE
THIS VETO

The first serious clash between
Governor Lister and the legislature
occurred last week, when the COVER
nor vetoed a deficiency appropriation
bill of $4,000 for the expenses of
the legislature. In giving his rea-
sons for vetoing this appropriation
the governor called attention to the
following facts:
That one of the first acts of the
legislature was the appropriation of
10000 for the expenses of the ses-
sion, and Sis 1000 for printing. That
at no previous session had such a
large sum been appropriated. That
the increased cost of the present ses-
sion has been due to the large num-
Der of employees, aggregating SO on
the house pay roll and 50 on the
senate roll. The membership of the
house is 81 and of the senate AZ.
The governor concluded his veto
message as follows:
"On the house pay roll ] find %
stenographers, 80 clerks-this num-
Der not including the special de-
partment clerks -nine pages, five
janitors, six doorkeepers, also two
sergeants-at-arms and one law clerk.
The salaries paid to these employees
range from 81 a day each for the
nine pages up to as high as Sc per
day for the law clerk and one ser
geant-at-arms The salaries of spe-
cial clerks and other employees of
both the senate and house, not here
enumerated, range from 81 per day
up to as high as $40 per day.

stenographers, one page at 81 per
day and five pages at 81 per day.

A GOVERNMENT OF LAWYERS,
BY LAWYERS AND FOR
LAWYERS

While the lawyers constitute but
a small fraction of the population,
they have always been able to eXer
else an influence on legislation out
OF all proportion to their number.
The function of lawyers is to defend
law breakers, to construe the mean
ing of laws and to advise their eli
ents as to how to comply with the
laws. But the people, for some un-
accountable reason, have gotten the
idea, that the students of law are
the best qualified men to make laws
and, as a result, there is usually
preponderance of lawyers in all leg
islative bodies.
1t is obvious that the persons best
quailtled to formulate legislation for
farmers are farmers, because they
understand the needs of their avo-
eation better than anyone else. So
business men are best qualified to
formulate legislation for business
men, and wage earners are best
qualified to formulate the legisla-
'ioh needed by laborers. Lawyers
may be better qualified to draw the
oiils In legal form. but they are not
as well qualified to prepare the sub
'ect matter or pass upon it's merits
and wisdom, as are those whom it
VIII directly affect.
Few successful farmers. business
men, or laborers have either the time
Ut the inclination to seek legislative
posiuons, but there are always
piehty OF lawyers seeking such posi-
'ions Too often they have been
sven clear field, with disastrous
results to their constituents. For
HaN"yers are but human, and ii is
not surprising that many of them
nave used the law making power
uoiesated to them to advance their
o"h interests or protect the inter
ea's OF influential clients.
