IB EWE TO BE WE BE PROPOSED JUDICIAL BILL MAY BE AMENDED. j I). H. Upjohn Write About' Eastern : Oregon Legislative Matter, v.! By D."ll. UPJOHN. Salem, Ore,, Jan. SO. (Special.)-" Senator KicMlo of Union and Wallowa counties i urging; an amendment be fore the judiciary committee to Presi dent mortipson s bin, wnicn it agreed to will allow K circuit judge for Un ion and a circuit judge . for Wallowa counties, plucing each of those coun ties in a single judical district, The Thompson bill, if enacted into a law, will change the form of the ju dicial system so that probate jurisdic tion will be vested in circuit Judges and taken from the county judges,- under .the present law. . In addition it will create a court of appeals between ine circuit court .': ana tne v supreme court, this court of appeals to hold sittings at Portland and Pndletsn. With the addition of the probate Jur- liwHction to the work of tha eirenit courts, the districts will be different ly arranged. ''V-7 ;V?.,?-'W''.'-.:A,V.V: -i I - Senator Kiddle has ' hi proposei) amendment for Union and Wallowa counties before the judiciary commit tee at mis time ana were is every reason to believe that when the bill is reported in it will carry this amend, raent in a favorable rsport. In event the Thompson bill falls to carry Senator . Kiddle will introduce a local measure providing:' for the changing of the time of circuit court Jin the present district of Union ana i Wallowa ; counties. : , r ; : - Speaking as to this bill, which will be introduced onlv in the event of the ( failure of the Thompson bill, to pass, senator macie said: , ; ; : , v i;. . "The only change that is. made is in the' November Term in Wallowu county and the June Term in Union county. Tha Wallowa Term of court, t present, is the third Monday in November and Thanksgiving inter fering with this term, -and if tho jurors go home they are entitled to mileage, and if they stay . in. Enter prise they are entitled to per diem, which makes it very expensive to the county. . Tho June term for Union county is changed from the first Mon day to tho second Monday. The Wal lowa spring term convenes ; the sec ond Monday in May and the way the litigation is increasing there, the term runs right up to the June term of court in Union county, and does not give the judge time to get back to Union county to get the cases readv for trial. "-:" .Viy;, ;. :;y;v, ;,, ' Some important bills have been in troduced by Senator . Kiddle of Un ion and Wallowa counties, two of these at tha veauest of circuit Judge , Knowks, providing for changes in the judicial system which are said to be advanced steps toward rectify ing certain serious evils which now exist. ,. v,":-:-.';, .:-: 1 ' One of these would prevent the ro icovcring of cists and disbursements in n case brought on appeal from the justice court to the circuit court in the event the appellant failed to re cover a more favorable judgment in the circuit court than he recovered ju the justice court.. This measuro, if it becomod a law, will have a strong tendency toward preventing numero..3 petty appeals from the justice court, which now clog.. the wheels of the judicial ' system and create a large amount of useless expense in the ad judication cf cause's. The otl Vr measure proposed in a bill introduced by Senator Kiddle at the request of Judee Knowlen " nrn- vides that a judge may receive a ver g( ida mes . on a Bunaav or a hoiidnv. or may dinchari the e jury on such Sun- Xlay or holiday. . Under the present statute a verdict rendered on such a day is a iiullity, and in event a jury is discharged on that day, such dis charge automatically discharges the defendant ns well, It is stated that such a provision as the one in the present aci has resulted in manv travesties of juBtice, which, if the bill passes, will be prevented in the fu ture. ;.;.;:..;..:: ......v... . . Senator Kiddle has also introduced a bill for Jiarvey Wells, the new in surance commissioner, striking from the fire iusurance laws a provision which allows a certain per cent of capital; stock to be paid in, in the formation' of such insurance - com. tection law, as far as the formation of such companies is concerned, is practically a nullity. nrn.
