JUDGES' RECALL
Commission for Revision of
Judiciary Prepares for
Its Big Task.
ATTORNEYS' VIEWS ASKED
Change of Entire Court System, Ex
cepting: Supreme Bench, Is to
Be JMscussed August 7 at
Stpte Capital.
SAiiEiT, Or., Aug. 5. (Special.) Among
the several mooj questions which will
be deliberated upon here August 7, when
the commission to prepare a revision of
the jurisdiction of courts and practice
and procedure therein meets. It Is prob
able that the subject of the recall of
the Judiciary will come up, although it
is a question withip itself whether this
commission's prerogative extends that
far. The commission . is empowered o
prepare an outline for a new judicial
system to submit to the next Legisla
ture. There is a decided antipathy to such
recall among some of the members,
while the attitude of others is not known.
It is probable that the subject will be
suggested and may come in for some
recommendations on the part of the com
mission. The objects of this meeting are set
out in a circular being sent to all at
torneys of the state. In this circular
attorneys are requested to express their
views on a revision of the system, par
ticularly as it extends to the establish
ment of courts In each county to be at
all times in session for the transaction
of legal business and to take probate
jurisdiction out of the hands of county
judges. This system is largely similar
to the system of Superior Judges as it
exists In the State of Washington.
"The last Legislature considered this
commission necessary on account of the
recent radical change in the Constitu
tion of the state relating to, the judio
iary. District Attorneys, clerks. Sheriffs
and Jurors," sets forth the letter to at
torneys from Chairman 8. A. Richard
son. The letter Is prefaced by a synopsis
of the new Judiciary amendment. Con
tinuing the letter says: ,
It will be noticed that the constitu
tional amendment set forth on pages 7
and 8 of the Session Laws of 1911, sweeps
away all. of the existing provisions of
article 7 of the Constitution, and in Its
place will be found a short, concise
amendment which puts many matters
within the control of the Legislature
which theretofore was controlled entirely
by the Constitution. It will be noticed
that this amendment vests the Judicial
power of the Supreme Court, 'and in
such other courts as may from time to
time be created by law.' Under this
provision it is within the power of the
Legislative Assembly to create new
courts and abolish all the present ones
excepting the Supreme Court. Do you
prefer the present courts and their Juris
dictions, or would you preier a cnange,
and if so, in what particular?
"Some members of the bar advocate
thve creation of a court in each county
which shall at all times be In session
for the transaction of legal business;
and that such court be given Jurisdiction
of nrobite matters as well as tnat in
law and equity. Other members of the
bar oppose this proposition on various
grounds, all of which we win not at
tempt to enumerate, excepting two, viz.
First, that such a Judge depending en
tirely upon the electors of his own
county for his subsequent tenure in of
fice, might thereby become Imbued with
local prejudices and misdirected public
clamor whereby a rair ana impartial
trial mleht not be accorded to all par
ties. Second, that In some counties the
expense of euob- a court would be too
heaw. as well as the ract tnat an per
sons competent to fill the position of a
Judge would refuse to act, ana tnereoy
Incompetent juages wouia neceosaniy no
"Some attorneys advocate the retain
ing of our present courts, and that all
wiuntv Judges be required to be mem
bers of the bar, and that the county
courts be given Jurisdiction of an mis
demeanors and actions at law relating
to the recovery of money, not exceeding
1B00. and of torts, where tne title to real
property is not involved, not exceeding
J500. That they retain tneir pruomo
Jurisdiction, but that their present power
an a County Commissioner be taken
away. That all appeals from this court
Ho direct to the Supreme Court, mat
nr.snnt Circuit Courts be given Juris
diction of felonies only, as well as all
matters in law and equity excepting in
such matters as the County Court is
given Jurisdiction over. That this would
threbv remove from our Circuit Courts
the present congestion -of business, and
would not thereoy increase ino uumuci
r or.nea.1 to the Supreme Court. That
our Circuit Courts would be more free
from the danger of local prejuaices man
if they were elected by the voters of a
particular county.
"ThMA nuestlons. as well as those re
latlng to the practice and procedure in
courts, will come before the commission
for consideration ana aeieraunu.
"The commission would esteem it a
great favor from you to write us your
opinion and reasons regarding all the
questions coming within the range of
the powers of the commission. Tou and
thf nractitioner are vitally in-
in a Droper and orderly pro
cedure for the redress and defense of
your clients- interests, it i ucno
of this commission that its labors meet
the approval of the attorneys in this
state, and It, therefore, desires your val
uable Suggestion" ttnu

would not be best to establish the
plant at Los Angeles, but, as local in
vestors were quick to see the advan

Portland, particularly because of Its
advertising value, it was decided to
build the plant here.

CARMEN TORSIVE PICNIC
Receipts From Sale, of Ticket Go
Into Fund for Sick Benefit.
Streetcar patrons have noticed for
several days the conductors carrying
red tickets. Many have wondered
what these missives were for, and upon
Inquiry the conductor informs the pat
ron that they are tickets to the annual
picnic of the Brotherhood of Electrlo
Railway Employes. He tenders one of
the tickets to the Inquirer at the price
of 10 cents, which will admit the bearer
to The Oaks. A programme has been
arranged for August 10.
The receipts from the sale of tickets
are placed in the sick benefit fund of
the association. In Portland the Broth
erhood has a membership of 1400. It
takes care of its sick members by giv
ing a benefit of $10 a week for 28
weeks, if necessary, and also levies an
assessment which amounts to $1000 for
each death.
The annual picnic has been a source '
of profit to the Brotherhood, and Man
ager Cordray not only donates the use
of The Oaks for the occasion, but the
company contributes $500 towards the
expense of holding the picnic. The en
tertainment committee has been work
ing for some time to arrange a pro
gramme which will be worth many
times the 10 cents charged, and an at.
tendance of from 15,000 to 20,000 Is an.
tlclpated.
