THE OREGON DAILY , JOURNAL, PORTLAND,'. TUESDAY . EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1911. COMMENDED ' t r i In Address - Before-State Bar I Association Judge KingSug aests 'County Courts Be Done Away With, v r I Revolutionary chance in the present f judicial system ' in Oregon are rsoom mended In the address of ex-Supreme rCourt Justice Will R. King, made i f ore' the State Bar association meet-jting- In the federal court today. Judge .King recommends among other things the establishment of . a water -board fVniirt to t rv all mutfr eaana. tha Aft t ah. ishment of a new. appellate court to oo- scupy : a position oetween ine circuit f court and; the supreme ipourt and th automatic Increasing of the ' number , of judges of the ' circuit court, doing 'away altogether with county courts, j The delay and expense of appealing leases la one of the greatest evils in J the present Judicial system, said Judge t King. At present the cost of appeal ',1a such that It can be born only by '.wealthy litigants who can pay the cost of printing, and other bills and who tctn uioro io wan several years tor a decision. - Even then, he says, the cost of the appeal is apt to , amount, to a sum greater than that In. litigation. To Increase the number pf supreme court (judges would not solve the problem In the opinion of Judge King. . It would result, he says, n tha court sitting in two -divisions aa Is tha - case . In . the atate of Washington, and returning con rtradlctory opinions. - , & Benefits of Court of Appeals. L Judge King says the solution Is tha establishing of a court of appeals to .consist of three ... members, the number ' to Increase In proportion with the popu lation of the state. Cases could then ibe- classified .so that one class may stop with tha court of appeals and such .appeals as might be taken to the su preme court should be , limited to do clslons upon questions of Jaw only. L At present . more than ' one half - the 'time of tha supreme court Is consumed In reading testimony la equity oases. '-. T" Judge King said that every county . in the state should have a circuit Judge, the court to be given original jurisdic tion in all probate matters, thereby 'abolishing the office of county judge. , He minks the present : salaries paid 'county judges would be almost suffi cient to pay the additional . expenses of the extra circuit Judges." In coun ties where more than one Judge Is need ed he thinks the number should be increased automatically as special elec tions for additional judges will always be opposed by some elements. - r- : , He suggests giving the water board or board of control from 'one to three addltionsl members, with Judicial powers-limited to" the trial'-of cases In volving water rights. He wants the board given the standing of a court to try such oases and enter decrees with the right of . litigants to appeal, there from to the proposed court of appeals, "Within five years he say the supreme court will be not-less than three year In arrears In Its "work; : half the time the - court 'being kept busy on water cases alone. r t - , 1 ' . Penalty for Appeals for Delay. The paper also recommends that Judges of the circuit court be paid not less than $6000 a year and judges of tha supreme court, not' less than 16000 a year.,. s- w:..'v : Judge King asks- especially that the statute enforcing a penalty for appeals mads for delay be imposed, in the hope of encouraging tha speedy handling of cases before the appellate court and dis couraging: the appeal of every case from the circuit court. ' At present, he says; where- litigants, caw afford an appeal, they do not hesitate to take It whether the are right or -wrong, because no penalty attaches to appeals for v pur poses ot aejay. , : ,v. .-i--., . . This morning's session of the 'Bar association meeting was not largely auenaea, Dot an errort win be made to have not only all members of the aeso clation , but other attorneys as well present, at .subsequent meetings. s Re ports were received this morning from the executive committee, the commit tee on legal education and admission to the bar and from the grievance com mittee. & :' ' .! .'"'.; ,''; "..''..';; "; ' The reading of the last named report aroused a storm of discussion that last ed Until adjournment at noon and" that win be taken ut attain after tha rear. ular program t Is completed this after noon.

Julius gtlveetone, 'another member' of the committee, presented what might be termed a minority report and which recited a number of apparently flagrant cases of unprofessional and criminal conduct on the part of members of the bar , which he demanded the association should investigate. He referred partic ularly to alleged Infractions of an at torney who frequently appears for Greek laborers and of another who Is at pres ent under indictment in the state court for the alleged offering to accent a bribe while acting as- Judge. No names were mentioned in Mr. Sllvestone's re port, but he stated the attorney Is question Is now basking at Palm Beach. Fla.

He said he did not believe the commit tee had any tight to try the men before the association. Charles J. Schnabel said that many trivial cases were re ported to grlevanco committees and that no man's name was secure. He recom mended caution iti handling the cases. E.

HYDE DEFENSE AIMS HEAVY BLOW AT STATE " : (United Press Lmms Wlral Kansas City, Mo, Nov. a 1. Attorney Reed today continued ths opening state ment for the prosecution In the second trial of Dr. ; Bennett Clarke ' Hyde, the alleged "xerm poisoner." accused of the murder of Colonel Thomas H. Swops, his millionaire uncle by marriage, and numerous other relatives, by Inserting typhoid germs In their blood. Ths defense objected to tne roiroauce tlon by the prosecution of statements that Chrlstman fcwope also died with the hands of Dr. Hyde, and i on - this hinges what promises to be one of the most Important points at . the t trial. Chrlstman Swop was a nephew of the colonel, and a legatee unaec ills wui. who died two years ago.; ;'.'i ?'' As the "theory of the prosecution is built around the 1 supposition that Dr. Hyde murdered the long 11st of relatives In order to tighter his grip en the mil lions into which he married, the- prob able elimination by the court of testi mony and statements in ..regard to the other deaths wlu prove a serious nana cap to the state. -' ; .- .-vj.
