I .3 HEEDED. otl :.r Association Decides to Present Bill to Legislature; Will Also Ask Enlargement ct Supreme Court. Two more Judges for the Multnomah circuit court and two more tor the su preme bench of '.he. state -ere recom mendations . made by unanimous vote or the' Multnomah Bar association at the courthouse last, night : The1 legisla tive committee will prepare a bill for the additional circuit judges, and confidence .was expressed that the measure will be favorably considered by the Multnomah delegation in the legislature, '..x As to the supreme court. It was toted to commend the matter to the tneetlng of the State Bar association, and suggest action by that body favoring increase of the highest court in the'state. A sug gestion by jl E, Clark that with seveq judpes on the . eupreme , bench. ; four judges only should sit In ordinary cases, lcavlnff three, to work alternately with the chief Justice tor two .weeks or a month at a time, was Indorsed by many of the members. , Amendment Discussed. The new Jury amendment, although rot a subject before the meeting,. 'was freely discussed. E. S. J. McAllister made a vigorous defense' of the amend' went part of which be eald he helped to construct. Replying to A pessimistic talk by R. R. Dunlway, McAllister said he believed the new rules will work out welt He said lawyers will soon learn that It will not be advantageous to cer tify the record in every case'up to the supreme court On' appeal, and that the number of cases reviewed on the facts in the supreme court will be much less than many have supposed. On the question of increasing the local bench there was no difference of opinion. Some believed three , judges should be added instead of two, and W. C Ben bow made a motion to that effect It was defeated and the plan for , two ,new Judges was unanimously approved. C. M. Idleman said more Judges would mean economy, because business can . then'' be done speedily and poor llt gants will not have to wait for years to learn the resurt of their cases on appeal He pointed to the increase in bank clear ings and postofflce receipts, showing 25 per cent Increase ln! commercial busi- , nfss in a year. This means a growing city, growing business and correspond ing need for more help In the courts. Situation Different .Samuel White, who was once Judge in an outside circuit, fcatd that other Judges in the state, have t'me to consider their cases and examine the record of cases between the terms of court In Multno mah the terms are continuous, , and judges are rushed from 'one case Into another, without t'me to clear, up the cases they have tried. Only a part of the judge's work is done on" the bench; lie pointed out and they should not be worked like draft horses. .' Julius Silvestone warned the mem-, hers that the final verdict regarding the increase will come from 'trie people, and not from the legislature. He said It was the taxpayers that footed the bills, and they ought' to be allowed to have a voice in saying whether there should be more Judges In Multnomah county. He alBO contended that to increase the circuit bench without Increasing the supreme bench would be a mistake. The supreme court Is from 18 months to two yearB behind in its work, and It wilt run .still farther back If an Increased circuit bi-ni-h were to pour an Increased volume of business In upon it he said. Commission SngYerted. , ' , A. E. Clark suggested a commission to be appointed by ho governor, half law yers and half laymen to map out a comprehensive' revision of .the Judicial system to be submitted to the people two years hence. He said he did not believe sufficient time Is left for ac tion by the next legislature, and con stant tinkering with the courts should be discouraged.. He strongly favored at least two new Judges for the local bench and two or four, more for the supreme bench. "..' - " . W. C. Benbow presented statistics of the number of Judges And salaries In 10 other cities' about the size of Portland. In most places the pay Is from $1000 to $2000 more, and the number of Judges greater. An average of the JO gives one Judge to 28.600 population, This ratio in Portland would give seven Judges, the number favored by the bar. Others who spoke in favor of addition al Judges were Gus C. Moser, Alex Bern stein, W. M- Davis and I L. Langley, ' ; j A Notarial CknnZnlssioas. - (SaVm Boreas ef T iomiri.J ; ! Salem, Or.;. .jDec. 15. Notarial com missions have ibeen Issued to W.
