There are Americans who hate

understand why America and
Americans do not enjoy the
confidence of all peoples. This,
of course, is plain snobbery and
jingoism .
Popularization of world tra

reading will eradicate some of
these foolish fears, but they will
survive in the minds of many as
long as school textbooks fill the
impressionable minds of chil

PARTY PRIMARY SYSTEM
-x
“The Oregonian suggests a
complete return to the old sys
tem of nomination of cand1 dates
or of election of senators, when
it says that there is need of a
change which will make candi
dates responsible to their party,
a party responsible for its candi
dates and will impose on senat
ors and representatives an obli
1 nation to support their party on
jail distinctly party measures,
jvdth reasonable latitude for dis
sent as to details. Combination
i 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
European countries, the way
should be left open for a third
oarty, which might strive to sup
plant one of the two great parti-!
es. This would serve to keep the
great parties awake to their
duty.

TRIAL BY JURY IS v
BECOMING OBSOLETE
“In all criminal prosecutions,
the accused shall enjoy the right
to a speedy and public trial by
an impartial jury.” Federal con
s'itution.
But that’s just an old-fashion
ed, obsolete doctrine, according
to the best legal minds.
Trial by jury already has been
: (legated to the musty region
where repose so many sections o*
the bill cf rights—sections that
limit the right of search and
seizure and the queer old doc
trine that a man’s home is hi^
castle.
Dr. Raymond Moley, professor
of criminal law at Columbia
university who recently made a
study in the west, is authority
tor the statement that the best
tegal minds of the land conside:
the jury system obsolete and no
'onger think of it as a live topic.
His viewpoint is sustained by
statistics.
“Intelligent and careful sur
veys on crime conducted during
the past 10 years,” he says,
“prove definitely that only a
small percentage of criminal
cases get before the jury. Hence
the problems now lie in other
departments.
“The most recent example or
proof of this is the survey on
crime in Multnomah count’
tore.) recently completed, which
shews that but 11 per cent of
more tuan i/uu ieiony case
went to tlie jury for trial dur
mg the past two years.
Jury’s Part Is Small
“When it is borne in mind
that those cases considered were
felonies and that no accounting
was made for the number of
crimes committed or for arrests
on other charges or for other
purposes, the part that the jury
actually plays is so insignificant
that it is no longer worthy of
serious consideration.”
Trial by jury? One chance in
l'jne.
In lower and in superior
courts the selection of the jury
list is restricted to certain class
cs. Property qualifications in
creasingly °nter into the schemc
of things. The judges often sug
gest a list of names and from
these jurors come.
As a matter of fact, judges
should be the last men heard in
this matter. The jury list should
be taken from the city directory,
not from the list of precinct
committee men. Include every
body impartially above the age
cf 21 and by blind luck select
the required number for each
term of court. Take the next few
pages of the directory for the
next term, and so on right thru
the book.
Moreover, any voter should
have the right to demand entry
on the jury list. No judge ever
gave me the privilege to sit on
a jury. I was born with that
right, just as he was born to
rn for office and do what I tell
him to do.
Instead of the judges seek
ing to pass on the facts, rather
jurors should demand their
right to pass on the justice of a
law and to insist on their right
!to free an accused if they re
gard the law as unjust. That is
a fundamental right inherent in
the citizens of the state: to de
cide the justice of their laws and
act as they desire.
But to get a judge to admit
it; you will not—Oregonian.

Idaho Turns Toward
The Primary
Idaho progressives of both
parties are urging the state le
gislature to pass a primary elec
i tlon law. The voters of the state
indicated in the recent election
that they favored the reform
and the lawmakers are therefore
assured of popular support if
they disregard the pleas of the
machine leaders.
All the old, stock arguments
against the primary which those
who have watched public affairs
have heard fifty times before are
being trotted out again. Idaho
ans are being told that the pri
mary will “break up parties,”
that it will cause a vast expense,
that it will make orderly gov
ernment impossible, and all the
rest of it.
It is enough to say that none
of these effects have followed
the adoption of the primary in
ether states; and most states
have it.
A good primary law enables
the people of a state to pick their
candidates, instead of leaving
that function to a group of boss
es, generally the hired men of
privileged interests, get control
ef the machinery of both parties
Then the voter has the gloriour
privilege of choosing between two
lists, both of which were com
piled by the same unseen and
predatory power.
The primary doesn’t insure
the people’s rule; but it gives
the people a chance to rule That
is all any law can do. With the
primary, the people, if they arc
really interested, can take *he
bosses to a “cleaning” any day

JUDGES AND JURIES
By Hill Billy
The Seattle Star
-x
Pome earnest souls are crying
that the jury System has broker
'own and that the learned judge
bould be fhe sole power in min
or civil and criminal cases. Then
of'course, there is always a per
istent drive on for the judiciary
Lo become an institution and
"rntfress itself with new authori
ty. 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
rar away from the Magna Char
fa, even our mild, cautious na
tional bill of rights, that juries
have no freedom.
The cure for tyranny is liberty;
a’ways more liberty, never less.
It is increasingly possible in
this country for a hard-boiled
:udge to scare a jury, especially
o jury composed of a maiority
of housewives, just as it is in
creasingly possible for petty
judicial tyrants to impose freak
sentences on culprits never
dreamed of by the makers of
the laws.
