Complaint Filed in Courts, IalM to tlia suprerta eourt. where tha casa Is -.atllt pending, i. .. . Si The- litigation Institute 'by Potts raised the whole question of the rirht of the countr clerk to collect ; the fees under the Library Association agree ment. 'Jlf-WM allered' that ; the fees In reality constituted - a " puhlie aid for a private concern and that such fees were Illegal. SPEAKERS AND DAIS USHO FOR T HEAVY DAMAGES ARE ASKED SUPREME COURT HAS SUIT Afr Ostsns and District Attorney Brass Champion Cause of a yree Xaw xihrary. i Merits of a public owned law library s.. private ownership, whereby fees are collected from litigants for the spkeep of the Multnomah Law Library association, were discussed at length . ky lawyers. Judges and members of he association and the board of - oounty .commissioners today. The controversy arose over the ques tion of renewal of the lease existing between the county and the assocla- CJoh. . The commissioners voted to renew Qie lease. This means that $1 must be paid the county clerk for every complaint filed ' and 50 cents for every- answer filed ! the circuit court. The system means that, although the client is compelled to pay his fees, his attor- ney, who perchance is not a' member of the Law Library association, does not have access to" the library. - Oat ens Makes Flea. - t Circuit Judge William N. Gatens : Championed the public use idea In em- phatlc language, declaring that It was ., unfair to a large number of attorneys to shut them out from access to the law books. He denounced the entire system as being wrong a principle , ; which benefits one faction of the legal fraternity, leaving the rest of the law- i yers out In the cold. . District Attorney Evans also opposed the renewal of the contract, urging - the commissioners to work out some pian whereby they could eventually take over the library and make It a : puDiic Jnstltutlon, 1n fact. , I Carey Opposes Chanre. Among the champions of the present ; acueme was Attorney Charles H. s. Carey, one of the original founders of ine association. Mr. Carey declared .-..that the county would make a mistake K It undertook to take over the library. He said that to make the library free to the public would mean to dpatrov the present efficiency of the library i management. Mr. Carey stated that : In time ltt probable that the asso ciation would form some kind of a I trust in order that the alms and pur poses of the library association could : be1 carried out. , i Circsii Judge J. P. Kavanaugh de clared that the library represented an Investment of some $50,000, that mem bers had paid in considerable sums of . money in dues of J2 a year each, and that It was only by the management of the lawyers Interested that the library could be maintained and a cor- , rect count kept on the books. He feared that if the $2 dues from the members should be withdrawn the library would find it financially un . able to keep going. In the event of . less he figured that the stockholders . . would have to make up the deficlencv. : He said that most of the big cities of the country make some provision for maintaining their law libraries, by ' . taxation. v ;t ' Definite Program Sought. ' Circuit Judge Davis favored the re - newal of the contract. District At torney Evans, following up his first speech, reiterated, his statement that the county should take over the library , and brought out lth point that In , . time stock outstanding would fall into the hands of heirs who had no interest whatever in the cause. . ,- As a parting Plea, Judge Gatens ree om mended that all the lawyers of the ,t city and the Bar association get to gether ana adopt a definite program v. which would be representative of the . real reeling or the community. ' Presiding Judge Gantenbeln ottre, ; to do anything reasonable looking to- wwa me surrenaer or his stock in th' -association. Circuit Juris Rnh.rf Tucker, speaking for a renewal of the V contract, said that the Multnomah li brary was a "monument of efficiency." The essence of the contract is that, in consideration for the use of Its - quarters In the courthouse, the circuit court Judges, district Judges, district attorney's office and "board of county commissioners should have free use, or Case Pending la Court. ' The motion to renew was made by County Commissioner A. A Muck. Some time ago the state of Oregon in . iciauon to juacaonaid Potts of The Journal, brought mandamus nmnu. ings to compel the county clerk of Multnomah county to accept filing of a cumpiaim wunout the customary tl Tea The Issues were argued on de- jnurrer ana circuit Judge Davis sub - tained the demurrer.
