standing, It is stated again that this
drive is being condusrd for the C0v-
ernment by the wOnen's committee Of

HOW THE FRENCH
TREAT LAND HOGS

Because of the urgent necessity of
cultivating every acre of land, the
French Chamber of Deputies has
unanimously passed bill permitting
neighboring farmers to till land ne
elected by the owner. Wherever
owners, holding land for speculation,
or through indifference, interfere
with the national food supply by
allowing the land held by them to
lie fallow. adjoining farmers, upon
application to proper officials, will
be authorized to plant and harvest it.
Adopted as wartime policy in
France" says Raymond Clapper, sit
may be expected that the necessity
for thus preventing land waste even
in peace time will be seen clearly,
and that one more form of economic
waste will be permanently de-
strOyed."
In California, the organized farm
ers and workers are not quite as
radical in their demands. The first
plank in the platform of the recently
organized California Union of Pro-
ducers and Consumers" reads as fol-
lows:'
The production of food being of
utmost Importance we demand legis-
lation to force idle land into use
by means of a graduated super-tax
on all uncultivated arabic land.
Surely this reasonable and modest

proposal ought to meet with univer-
sal approval 1t fought to" but
at will not
The land barons in California, as
elsewhere, sit tight and stand pat.
They will not Voluntarily accept any
proposal to put idle land to work
unless it rebounds to their own per-
sonal benefit. At least, such has
been their policy to date.
The heirs of the late Henry Miller,
California's greatest land owner and
Seattle baron" as he has been
called, are about to contribute $780,
100000 in the way of an Inheritance
tax, Ito be shared equally by the
State and National Governments.
The valuation of the estate, for the
purpose Of imposing the tax, has
been fixed at $42,O00,00O. OF this
sum, $35,O0O,0OO is subject to the
burden of the inheritance tax.
This is encouraging because it
demonstrates that the Government,
representing the people, can divide
large holdings or in any event con-
fiscate and sell a part of such
holdings upon the death of those
who legally possess and control it.
But why wait for the death of
any individual to put idle land to
use?
If it is crime to speculate in
food, what is it to speculate in the
source of food? If it is wrong

judges and lawyers more practical,
less technical and more lawful.
The Herald says "the judiciary is
the balance wheel of our political
system" That may be true, but it
is also true that balance wheels
often get out of gear.
"The average voter does not know
one member of the supreme court
from another" and it is impossible
for the majority of voters to have
personal acquaintance with the
members of the supreme court, but
he can express his choice at the
polls for such candidates as seem
to him best fitted for judges or any
other officers.
1t is the duty of the public press
to shed such light on the qualifica-
tons of candidates as it can obtain,
and it can obtain much, to the end
that voters may make an intelligent
choice.
Now, the Herald says there are
running for the supreme court a
number of highly able men," and
there is one man whom "the law
yers seem to agree has not the
personal honor and character to be
trusted in this great office; another
candidate is under sentence of dis
barment, third is making his cam
paign on the basis of religious pref
udices, another is considered a joke,
and still another cannot speak the
English language correctly"
Well, then, if the Herald knew
these things before the primaries
why did it not inform the average
voter" of the unfitness of these
five candidates so that he could
avoid casting his vote to nominate
them for office? Or, would the
Herald prefer letting the voters re-
main in ignorance with the POSSIBLE
ity of nominating and electing unfit
men for the supreme bench?
Who are these men whose unfit
ness for supreme court judges the
Herald had knowledge of before the
primaries?
The primaries are passed and the
many people who read the Herald's
editorial are wondering whether any
of the five men mentioned by it
as unfit were nominated. There
are many who would like to know.
Name the five men.
There are thirteen candidates and
five were nominated last Tuesday.
Let the people know whether any of
them are unfit for the office. That
would be satisfying to the public
and fair to the men who are clean
whether they are nominated or not.

WILSON WHISTLES;
THE KAISER DOESN'T

President Wilson left the office of
Secretary of War Baker the other
day, whistling as he went.
Some whistle as they mediate.
Some whistle when they are jul
bilant.
Nobody ever whistles when he is
down-hearted.
And nobody who is dour and
naughty and brutal ever whistles.
The whistling man is pretty sure
to be a democrat, truly-a man who
has sense of belonging to the peo-
pie, human, healthy and happy.
One cannot imagine the Kaiser
wishing. 1t isn't likely that Fer
dinand of Bulgaria, or the Sultan
of Turkey ever whistle. You can
imagine Pershing whistling, but not
Hindenburg or Ludendorff.
And you can lay your bets for
victory on the side that can whistle!
1t is to be regretted that the
news dispatches do not tell US what
tune it was that the President
whistled as he walked toward the
White House. 1t would be inter-
esting to know if it was the grand
march from Aida, or some rollick-
ing bit of popular melody.
But whistling of nay sort means
buoyancy of spirit. President Will
son whistles. All America is in
the same mood.
The Kaiser has neither the dis
position to whistle nor any reason
for whistling.
1t is good to have these whistling
signs on the horizon.

Vancouver Wash. raised a fund to
buy New Testaments for the soldiers.
1t is well. Inasmuch as we are
fighting for democracy nothing could
be filter. than to provide our SOL
diers with the most democratic book
ever printed. The Great Hero of
the New Testament taught profound
ly revolutionary doctrines. They have
been fermenting like yeast in the
mass of humanity for 1000 years.
The more our soldiers know of those
doctrines by reading them for them
selves the better. There are some
chapters from Isaiah and Amos
which might be profitably supplied
to the men after they all have New
Testaments.-Oregon Daily Journal.

eight months overdue on it's con-
tract to turn over to the city the
completed Sultan River water sys-
TEN and that the consequent loss to
the people of this town is $4,000
per month.
If this company were constructing
a plant for a private corporation on
an individual it would have to pay
for all losses entailed by failure
to complete the work in the time
named in the contract or there
would be big fuss made about it.
But the Stockholders" in a NUM-

slow.

of their lithargy and disinterested-
ness.

NOW, WHAT Do YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS?'

Under the caption Selecting Our
Judges" the Herald last Friday eve
ming -four days before the primary
election) printed the following edi-
torial:
lone of the unsatisfactory fea-
lures of the direct primary law, as
it seems to many, is the fact that
supreme court judges must seek their
nomination at the hands of the peo-
pie at large In the nature of men
the best equipped persons for this
high office, both temperamentally
and educationally, are reluctant to
go about the state on baby-kiss-
ing, hail-fellow campaign for office.
Their work is highly technical, and
few persons outside of lawyers can
know what candidates are best fitted
to serve the people in this most i'm
portant department of the govern
ment. The judiciary is the balance
wheel of our political system, and
calls for men of broad learning, high
minded and fair-minded, tested law
yers who should be free from preju-
dice, promises or currying of favors.
The average voter does not know one
member of the supreme court from
another, and knows nothing about the
qualifications of most of the cam
didates. In the present campaign
the supreme court a number of
highly able men, and there are also
running one man whom the lawyers
seem to agree has not the personal
honor and character to be trusted
with this great office; another can
didate is under sentence of disbar-
ment, a third is making his cam
paign on the basis of religious
prejudices, another is considered a
joke, and still another cannot speak
the English language correctly"
The Herald says it seems to
features of the primary law is that
supreme court judges must seek
their nomination at the hands of
the people at large. 1t seems to
many more that this is not an un-
satisfactory feature at all, for if
the judges are to serve the whole
people they should be nominated and
elected by all of the people, whom,
under our system, they are supposed
to serve. The most unsatisfactory
feature of the present primary law
is the retention in it of a part of the
old rotten caucus system under
which the people had no chance to
nominate anybody.
If there are candidates for judi
cial offices, and there are, why hide
the fact that they are candidates?
If they are so finely strung tenn
peramentally and educationally that
they are ashamed" to mingle with
the people whom they wish to serve
they are unfit for the positions to
which they aspire.
Yes, their work is highly tech
nical;" too technical in fact, and
the decisions of some of them are too
autocratic. Their work should be
perfectly plain and understandable
by all citizens of common intelli-
gence, and if the lawyers and edi-
tors and others would do a real
service TO the people they would put
forth efforts to make the work of
