LONDON, December "A general
tariff against foreign wheat of about
cents a bushel, at the present rate of
British exchange, the Daily Express
said today, has been proposed by Brit
ish millers
The millers also proposed. the Ex-
press said that a similar duty be i'm
posed on unsold foreign wheat stored
in Great Britain, particularly thousands
of tons of Soviet grain lying in port
elevators.
DOminiOnS Given Preference.
The suggestions were made to Sir
John Simon, minister Of agriculture.
who is working over the task of apply
ing TO the products of British farmers
the effects of the new tariff policy re-
Gently announced by the National gov
ernment as a protection against So
called dumping" Of foreign-made
goods in Great Britain
In line with proposals for general
tariff preferences for the Dominions
within the empire, the millers sug-
gested, the Express said, that the wheat
tariff against importations from Domin-
ions should be fixed at half the gen.
eral rate on that of other countries.
The rate suggested was q shillingS a
quarter on foreign wheat. which would
be about 9 cents a bushel. and 2 shill-
tngs a quarter on Dominion wheat.
Opposes Quota Plan.
- The plan was suggested, the paper
said, in place of the wheat quota
scheme which the ministry has had
under consideration and under which
a certain proportion of British-grow
wheat would have to be used by millers
for each amount of foreign grain milled
The millers, it said, argued against the
quota plan, contending it would dis
organize trade.

JUDGES AND JURIEs
 By Hill Billy
 The Seattle Star

Some earnest souls are crying that the jury system has broken own and that the learned judge shculd ke the sole power in min CT civil and criminal cases. Then 0f course, there is always a per- iStent drive on for the judiciary to become an institution and outtress itself with new authori- y. The forces that fear the pub ic will perpetually strive tc build up ruling classes that up- hold things as they are.
 The only trouble with our jury system is that we have gotten so Tar away from the Magma Char Jc., even our mild, cautious na- ttonal bill Of rights, that juries rave no freedom.
 The cure for tyranny is liberty; always more liberty, never less.
 It is increasingly possible in l7lis country for a hard boiled judge to scare a jury, especially 2 jury composed of majority of housewives, just as it is in creasingly possible for petty judicial tyrants to impose freak :entences on culprits never dreamed of by the makers of the laws.

PARTY PRIMARY SYSTEM

"The Oregonian suggests a
 complete return to the old sys- tenn of nomination of candidates or of election of senators, when
 it says that there is need of a change which will make candi- dates responsible to their party, party responsible for it's candi- dates and will impose on senat- CTS and representatives an obli-
 sation to support their party on al distinctly party measures, with reasonable latitude for dis sent as to details. Combination of the good qualities of the old system of nomination with those of the new should be practicable f both were calmly considered in the light of experience. While care should be taken not to en- courage the multiplicity of par ties which is the curse of several countries, the way should be left open for third party, which might strive to sup rlant one of the two great parti- es. This would serve to keep the great parties awake to their duty.
