Judicial system of Oregon at thin time,

Rion to and consideration by th legis
lative session of H1S.;?: 'A ;
This wai the substance of the repoit
submitted ; by Vtha special legislative
committee of the Multnomah Bar asso
ciation .at Its meeting last night at the
' coMrthouae. xj'X vx iv : 'i y,-' '.
The committee fecommeftded that; the
work of revamping the Judicial system
of the state be given into tae hml f f
a commission of if men. who would sro
at the task carefully and systematically
and retort their findings to th iegis-
latnra for action "two years hence.1
The eommtttee having the matter in
charge Is composed Of Attorneys A. E.
Clark, Martin Lr Pipes, James B. Kerr.
James L. Conlay, C. A. Dolpn and. W.
M. Davi Their Idea- Is to have th
committee composed of J5 men equally
selected from ... attorneys nnd laymen
throughout the state. The committee,
which will have two years to do this
work, "will be named by the governor,
and will serve without compensation.
The reorganisation will include both the
circuit and supreme courts. - .-,f
Befornui Bafflj JTeeded. 'V
The adoption of the committee report
does not stop any legislation absolutely
necessary by the coming legislature.
Several attorney and others Interested
have minor change In legal lines th-sy
wish to have made- - These, will not be
discouraged. The report of the com
mittee Was unanimously adopted and
the governor will be asked to name the
committee early In the session of the
legislature.
Attorney George Shepherd was of the
opinion that the association shou.d &t-

are now badly needed, v One of the e
forms, he said, Is dlscontlnuano of
court terms. He said there were coun
ties down state, that would be greatly
benefited by this change. He wanted to
have the law changed so that the pre
siding Judge of a district eould call a
Jury whenever needed. It . was shown
by the committee, however, that the
adoption of the report did not keep the
forma, -: . V.
? . Would Reorganise Court.
Attorney Claude Strahan, chairman of
the committee having in charge the
matter relating to the Justice court re
ported a bill providing that the court
be completely reorganised. It proposes
relieving the circuit ' court of much
work. The bill also provides that there
shall be one' Judge to each 60,000 popu
lation and that - hie salary shall be
$3000 a year. The court shall be known
as the "district court"'! ''V'-V's:.-.-;.;r
B. K. Haney spoke of the present con
dition In the Justice court declaring it
was on th highest ,, standing .' lt; had
ever been. He -further added that the
two Judges are crowded with work, and
that there, la need least two more
Judge. .';."..'' -a"
The association was also of the opin
ion that the limit for appeal ' cases
chould be raised In the district court to
$50, and it should be made a court of
record. . " i ' v.,.
. Attorney Harry Tankwlch filed a
request with the association for an in
vestigation of his recent arrest on. the
charge of embezzlement. It was the
opinion of the .association that he had
been vindicated by his discharge from
the accusation : and this : would be
enough. -,. ' '
As a token of their-esteem for Judge
Morrow, a handsome wedding present in
the form of a drop light was presented
the Judge and Mrs. Morrow. Attorney
C. J. Schnabel, president of the asso
ciation, was Instructed to convey to the
judge and his bride the best wishes of
the bar association. The next meeting
will be held January j at the court
house. v , ,

You can see moving picture shows In
China, Japan and Malaysia-Just as you
can see them in the United 6tates and
Europe, according to g. Morton Cohu,
who returned to Portland yesterday aft
er a six months' trip through the orient
Mr. Conn, who Is bead of a film
selling company here, was naturally in-.
terested in the moving picture houses
in oriental countries. There Is scarcely
a clty; of any sise but that has them.
he says, and as -a rule they are well
patronized though poorly arranged for
ventilation and comfort The . films
used are the regular trust films to be
seen In the United States and the pic

The Chinese seem to take as much

FAVORS R
VISION OF
E
OREGON'S HEALTH LAWS
A L. Mills, president-of the First
National bank, and head of the Oregon
branch of the National Health league,
spoke warmly in favor of the proposed
revision of Oregon's health laws yes
terday. . .
"I approve such a revision of the
health laws as will permit the elimina
tion of politics," said Mr. Mills. "I
believe that giving such a commission
as the state board of health supervision
of the enforcement of all the health
laws is the only common sense means
of procedure. ' We will-never get full
protection for public health so long as
men' from the enforcement of health
Jaws or for -the dissemination of in
formation are politicians or are political
ly' chosen, W will never have com
blned - economy and efficiency In the
administration of health laws and health
departments until all are. 'under one
head. By eliminating' unnecessary of
fice forces , and , by centralizing: equip,
roent : we can make' one dollar of the
taxpayer money go as far as two dol
lars now go. We will forever prevent
quibbling and defiance and . lost . time
and effort between - departments. - I
thoroughly approve the plan and will
give it my support."
At a recent meeting of the City and
County Medical society resolutions were
adopted approving the revision of law
so that the state board of health will
be constituted as a body having super
vision of the enforcement of all health
laws and having as their executive of.
fleers, the state vdairy and food oonv
tnlssiotwr, the state health officer, the
state bacteriologist and the state vet
erinarian. A , committee'' was at the
same time appointed to draft a measure
covering the proposed v revision and
change In the laws.
