In the main the reports agree, and yet both of them have left out some very important matters. For instance, the com mission recommends the creating of five additional Circuit judges to be real Circuit judges, go to any part of the state to hold court where they are ordered, which means of course that they would be in Portland most of the time. Then they recommend that the office of County Jndge be abolished and that the probate work be put into the Circuit Court and Circuit Judges have several counties to visit, the delays that are now necessary in thr Circuit Court business will only be en larged so as to include the Pro bate Court too. It will be worse than cter. The law is bad enough now where there is no resilient Judge to be on hand at all times when necessary, but if they also take away the probate powers from the County Judge and leave the Circuit Judges the way they are, doing the work in several counties, there are some of the cardinal principlesof our govern ment that bad just as well be thrown away, such as mandamus, injunction, habeus corpus etc. There is only one solution to the problem and that is to have a resident Superior Judge for each county; give him the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court and the Pro bate Court and let .him have bis ofliee at the county peat so that matters can be taken up at any time and disposed of when they are ready. It would be economy to the taxpayers and liiigants and things would not become congested so that it would take beveral months to get a case to trial. The majority of that com mission are lawyers who reside in a city or county where u Circuit Judtre lives and they are not l'.i miliar with the inconveniences and delays of d ing business in a county where there are two regu lar terms of court each year. However small the county, a judge is necessary; a county at torney is necessary. Unless such a change is made it would be better to have it the way it is.

MILLER ATTORN EY-AT-LAW St. Helens - Oregon Last fall there was a move ment started in St. Helens to or ganize a live Commercial Club and prect a building, and for this purpose" several thousand dollars were subscribed. Since that time nothing has been heard of it. Inquiry among some of the men handling the matter reveals the fact that the work w ill be taken up again soon and that they have every assurance of finishing the project during the spring months. This is a matter that shouud be encouraged by every person in terested in the welfare of growth of the city. The plan as adopted and explained through the col umns of the Mist is one which will insure the people who iurnisii the money a good investment to themselves directly as well as a great indirect benefit to everyone in the city. It is gratifying to know that the work will be taken up again soon and pushed to com pletion. The County Court at its meet ing this week passed upon the meaning of a bona fide subscriber to a newspaper and defined such as being a person who subscribed for the paper for not less than one year and who is not more than one year in arrears for the naper.
