In bla uni a dress yesterday tT.irnoon. drew from tbo oncertalntr and dlicuselon that has b3 waed about the JudlclaJ amend- nut to article T of the state constitu tion the moral that It to tho duty of tho members of tho association to imi iore actlro part In tho process 01 star Mr. Elater admitted that tho purpose of tho fraraera of tho amendment, which waa passed In tho popular election of November, 110. waa commincmn, "" aald that tho effort to express tho Idea definitely In staple lana-uaco had boon unfortunate. ar.J had a-lven rise to un- rertalntlea and ronfualon that had not yet boon oolrod by tho Supreme Court of tho atate- -8omo tlmo ar," ho said. " after tho adoption of thlo amendment, tho Pu treme Court of thla otato Invited tho bar a-neral!r to appear ojid discuss certain moot qoestlone. arlslns; from tho terms of thla amendment, pro pounded by tho court. CoHlo Hat Told, A anmbor of attorneys of tho otato. responding to tho Invitation of tho court, appeared In person and presented arguments on tho questions eusjjeated. and supplemented tho seme by brief more or leea elaborate. Notwithstand ing tho ceneroua aid thua tn the court, no official declaration of Its eon elusions has thus far come from that tribunal, la any way tending to rollers tho uncertainty caused by tho adop tion of this amendment. "Wo have expended oomo offort to set forth this uncertainty and to sirs lews of tho proper Interpretation of the new amendment, but tho thought uppermost In my mind Is why this un certainty should ever have been per mitted to exist. Would not It hare been more opportune for lawyers of this state ireneraily to have made ar guments of this character on tbesa questions before tho enactment of tho amendment? Reread Xt Realised. "Hero Is tho situation: An Impor tant part of tho constitution of this stats has been chanced, and no one not even those responsible for Its word ing and presentation for adoption ever knew until after tho vote waa taken, that It repealed an entire article of that most Important document. It completely wipes out portions of that Instrument to- which mo objection has ever been made, and without which It la possible for tho Judicial arm of the state to get along only by presuming t:e existence of certain eeeentlal pow ers, neceesary to fta proper exercise of tho functions of tho court. Doubtless If the subject had been opportunely looked Into and tho proper attention riven It. this uncertainty need not now be so vexing." Mr. Slaters address waa followed by tho reading and discussion of a paper on "What Changes Should Bo Made In Our Judicial Systemf by ex-Justlre of the State Supremo Court Will K. King. Most Important of tho changes sug gested wero the creation of a Circuit Court ! every county, tho extension of membership and power of tho Water Hoard, and the creation of an Inter mediate appellate court, with provision, as tho population grows, for tho en largement of the number of members of both thla appellate court and tho Su premo Court, to guarantee swift dis patch of business. Coats Deesera too High. Mr. King deplored tho growing cost that attaches to appeals, saying that oondltlona were rapidly reaching a state where "only too rich need apply" la tho courts of appeal. Ho believed that tho costs of litigation should bo reduced so that the poor should have an equal chance for securing their right In the courta A. r Clark, of the State Code Com mission, which waa appointed by Gov ernor West to draft plans for reor ganization of tho Judicial irtra of the state, led the discussion that followed Mr. King's paper, agreeing with the speaker la the majority of his sugges tions. He aald that the Commissioners had recently voted for the abolition of tho County Court and. as a substitute, favored establishing Circuit Courts In each of tho counties. "Wo found It not advisable," he aald, "to ro as far as we were Inclined, and arrange for a Circuit Judge for each county, but plan to Join the smaller and more sparty settled counties. In which there will not be a rreat mans of business, into dl.trlrts of two coun ties each. We do not believe that the people of the state would bo willing, on the abolishment of the office of County Judge, to assume the expense of a Cir cuit Judges salary for each county. While we are abolishing 34 county Judges, thla doe not represent the total abolition of their salaries, which will not eual the !aries of more than even or eight circuit Judges. Plane "t templet. "We hare not finally settled upon any of our r'nv l-ut will probably sub mit rich drafts of the measure we are prvparitii; to t.'ie lawyer of the atato tor a.lvlce and suK4-at1on. before draw Ir.g It up In lis final form." Mr. c:rk waa followed by other members of t'-.c t"mm!lon, and a rapid flro of suisicr:i.n and questions was kept up t'lrouiiout the latter part of tho session by the lawyers In at tendance. Circuit Ju'.c Morrow offered the uggeetlon that the power of appeal bo limited to exclude petty cases In volving only small sums of money. Ho asserted that the business of the courts was at present rloccej by hundreds of little cases sppealel frjjn the municipal courts. In whl-h there v.a no point of law or constitutionality Involved. H. C. Bronauc'i. supporting Judge Morrow's suggestions, declared that In his own experience an entire week had been frittered away In the Circuit Court with three Jury trials In none of which there was more than ITS Involved, lloth Mr. Bronaugh and Judge Morrow were generally supported by those present In their contention that tho suggested aotlon would do much to relieve the congestion In tho business of tho higher courts, and make for the expedition of Jus ties. 5 ml eltfe Ijild Lawyer.

Prists to TJ Awarded Thlm Week to Workmen and Other) Who Tell How They Built A bod a. Btnoa th announcement of tho prise y contest by the Portland Realty Board last week, home-builder have commenced vending In articles telling of th efforts In winning their homes. Th stories that will be received thla week will b passed upon by the com mittee on awards Thursday at 1 P. M and th prlxe-wlnnlng essays will be published In Th Sunday Oregonlan. A the stories are to be less than half a column In length. It Is not much of an effort to produce something that may win th writer SIS, 110 or tS. Stories giving a slmpl and direct re dial of the facta In connection with tho progress of tho home-builders achievements are desirable. It Is th human-Interest aid that appeals most. Laborious literary efforts are not e eouraged. Th man who sets In to win a home under circumstances that would dishearten many a person and Is sue cessful stands a better show of win ning one of the cash prises than the man who pays more attention to th literary composition than to tho Im portant features of his experience. To enter tho contest It is not neces sary that tho homo be entirely paid for but the contestant must be in pos session of the property. There are hun dreds of Industrious men in Portland who have started to win homes on com paratlvely small salaries and who hav mad such progress that they see the end of th debt-paying perloda. Some of th stories written by these man demonstrate that It la possible for a! moat every kind of employ to build and pay for a home In Portland. It has been contended time and again that It Is Just as easy to pay for a horn by monthly Installments aa to pay rent. Many of those who hav written eaaays for tho contest prove this statement. They also find that It Is a great relief to be emancipated from landlordism and find that It la much more satisfac tory to hav credits on monthly pay ments at th and of th year than to hav a bundl of rant receipts which are absolutely valueless. It Is tho man who economise for his horn and fam ily who Is deserving of great pralae and who Is Just aa valuable to a com munity as th man who I financially abl to buy a costly residence for cash. It Is admitted that It la th class of persons who are writing these assays that does Invaluable good In th up building of Portland.
