She was not in the east uppish about it, either, letting old Kid Jupiter fulminate all he wanted to, and Captafn Hercules. chief of the strong arm squad, make all the, China town raids he wished. But three of the goddesses Were Just the least bit jealous, divine Hera, lovely Venus and lofty browed Minerva, who leaped from the skull of Jove. These three rather- thought that "apple day down on earth should have been conse crated to them because of their histo rical contest, in whlclNretty.boy Parts was the Judge and official presenter -of the golden apple of discord.

All unnecessary and exorbitant costs should 'be, and' can quite easily be, abolished. ,'.'.' Nothing makes for disrespect and contempt for law and the processes of the-courts anore than the present extortionate fees exacted. Nothing would tend to reestablish odilfidence in legal institutions more than a real effort to make the accessibility of Justice independent of the wealth of the litigant. V ." j Instead of trying to discourage litigation by making It expensive the efforts of the courts should be In the opposite direction. The weallhy llttgunt has. Irrespective of court costs, an enormous .advantage over his ,poorer opponent In being able to employ ablo counsel, secure witnesses, md (to await without inconvenience the outcome of the case. There Is no valid . excuse for making that advantage greater than It must be. Congress and the courts ought to put forth every effort to- make Justice cheap and accessible. - - -. r. - ' In the opinion of your committee the fees and coinpenBtlons paid and exacted In the federal courts should be overhauled at once and put on such a basis that the amount will hilar some relation to the service performed. They bear very little now. Clerks' fees No adequate reason appears for exacting from'tlio litigant In Oregon. Nevada, California and Montana exactly double what Is charged In Washington, Idaho. Arizona and the other 41 states for Identically the same service by the same officials. Marshals' fees Any Justification for doubling them In Oregon and a few other western states, that may have existed in past years on account of the particularly arduous natures of. the niai-Khal's duties has now disap peared. No fair minded lltlgunt will contest that the marshal's office which Is maintained very largely in the Interests of the government, should be sustained by fees paid by private litigants. The marshal has now been "placed on a salary basis. The exorbitant and In many cases unreasonable fees demanded are a relic of former times and should, no longer be endured. The situation is In the hands of congress and the department of justice. YEON APPOINTED AS . SERVES WITHOUT PAY Hard-Surfacing Is Practically Assured bv County Com missioners Today, With absolute c'ontrol over county road.4 and employes on the roads, John B. Yeon, owner of the Yeon building, and a prominent good roads advocate, was appointed roadmaster to act with out pay by the county commissioners this morning. The appointment was unanimous and was announced at s meeting attended by about SO of the most prominent men of Portland, repre senting many professions and business Interests. It was greeted with en thusiasm, i . The meettng was the result of tho announcement of a proposed .7 ml:t levy for road work. The party. -met with the county commissioners for the purpose of protesting that this amount was too small and that at least two mills should be levied that permanent hard surface roads might be constructed throughout the county during the com ing year. The members of the party protested against the mere repairing of the present , roads. In reply to the request the commis sioners each gave hearty assurance that they favored good roads, and Commis sioner Holman stated that the Increased levy was practically assured. Com missioner Lifehtner said that he did not believe that any member of the com mission expected or intended, to limit the levy to .7 of a mill.

He will be compelled to attend the hearing along with the rest, it is said. i nat tne 'shadow hands or men higher up" were working overtime in the Krasner-Wagman-Harrls case, an episode of more than a year old, is the belief of the commissioners, and with this in view are today working: to clear up the haze around which many rumors concerning the working of the depart ment have centered.

Sweeping In its recommendations ami ' strong In its condemnation of the ' -tern now In vogue, the committee of the ' Oregon Bar association on costs of liti gation in the federal courts today filed an exhaustive treatise on the subject at the meeting of tlje State Bar asso ciation now in progress in the.postof- f flee building. The report was adopted after it was read before the meeting by ' Attorney Joseph N. Teal. That Oregon with a few of her sister states is reactionary in re-' spect to the cost of federals iltlga- tlon Is the thesis of the committee; that the present cost of litigation is both -excessively high and unjust Is its con tention: and that federal legislation and the elimination of the federal double'' fee system is the remedy. 1 The report was signed tjy Joseph Jf. Teal, chairman; Thomas A. Greene, B. 8. ' Huntington and Charles D. Mahaffle. The report Is predicated on the guar- antee to all by the Oregon constitution of equity and speed, this being followed" by the comment of a prominent Oregon ' attorney, who declared that the federal courts are barred to the poor litigant . by reason of the excessive clerk's-fees exacted, and by an excerpt from a speech of President Taft in 189. who -declared that conditions must be changed so as to make it possible for the poor man to have equal opportunity'.
