Would Give Supreme Court Power to Prescribe Rules Gov erning Pleadings. LIMITATION OF APPEALS Under Proposed Plan Consider able Number of Cases Would Terminate in Circuit Court. Salem, Jan. 23. Five bills, intended to simplify and expedite court pro cedure in Oregon, have been prepared for introduction by Representative Hare of Washington county. The'chief reform proposed is to confer upon the supreme court power to pre scribe rules governing the modes of pleading and procedure in the circuit courts, and not bind the circuit, courts with hard and fast laws as to procedure j which are used by the technical lawyers to obstruct, delay and divert Justice. j Another one of the bills amends the statute relating to change of venue, and provides that tort actions shall be tried j in the dounty in which the defendant re sides or wnere tne cause 01. acuorr aroser-' Representative Hare says this bill, if enacted into law, will confine to their home counties many cases which are now taken to Multnomah county and adding to the congestion In the circuit courts there. Judicial Iteform Sought "The plan submitted for consideration of the legislature is supplemental to the report of the commission oh judicial re form," said Representative Hare in ex plaining his bills, "and while compre hensive, is In no respect revolutionary. The purpose is to effect a substantial reform in the administration of Justice along safe and sound Ideas. Many law yers conscientiously believe that the j present', system answers all legitimate j purposes and that no substantial change : should be made in the administration of justice. However, the need of reform in : conducting controversies seems clear; ! practical reform should come from the 1 courts and members of the bar. The 'signs of the times' are unmistakable j and unless reform does not come from ; the sources mentioned, impractical and j revolutionary so called reforms are like ' ly to come from sources not properly prepared to deal with the .problem. Essential Feature Explained "The essential features of the plan proposed are as follows : "1 Conferring power upon the su preme court. In prescribing rules gov erning the rules of pleading and pro cedure in the circuit court. "2 Transferring to the eircult court the probate jurisdiction now exercised by the county courts. "3 Limitation of appeals from the circuit court to the supreme court. "It is a well-known fact that the mer its pt coitroxersies brought into court for determination are ofttimes subor dinated to cumbersome and technical rules of pleading and procedure. "To do justice between litigants is the object of judicial inquiry. By virtue of conferring upon the supreme court power to promulgate rules governing these matters, the present difficulty and lack of flexibility in the modes of pleading and procedure will be removed. There is no necessity for the existence of a full code of statutory rules gov erning pleading and procedure, leaving but little opportunity for the exercise of discretion toy the court with respect to the manner and mode of conducting the trial. Supreme Conrt Trusted "By the act, no fundamental or sub stantive law is affected or changed, and no attorney, no matter how firmly he may become convinced of the present simplicity of our code of civil procedure, need-have hesitancy in trusting the su preme court to properly protect the or derly administration of justice.- "The main qualification of a county judge within the state of Oregon is that he be a good business man, and espe cially' a good road builder. In the course of 30 years, practically all property passes through, the probate courts, and it is absurd for such a court to be pre sided over by a judge entirely without legal training. This is the result in many counties. "Furthermore, it is proposed to limit appeals-from the circuit to the supreme court in all matters where the amount In controversy does not exceed $500 and wherein there is no question involving statutory construction, marital relations, title to real property or constitutional construction. "I am not advised as to the number of appeals- which will be precluded by this act, but a considerable number of cases will as a result thereof finally terminate in the circuit court. To Relieve Law's Delays "With the measure prescribed by the commission on Judicial reform designed to expedite the administration of jus tice, the above mentioned measure will combine to effect a substantial reform. The much talked of law's delay will not only be relieved, but what is of equal import, a greater percentage of cases will be decided upon their merits, and the number turning upon a ques tion of pleading or procedure" will be reduced to a minimum. "Whether the above measures be ac cepted by the legislature or not 1 will urge at least, the adoption of an amendment to the statute now provid ing, for amendments to pleadings, whereby a greater discretion may be exercised by the trial court in the furtherance of Justice. The legislature should also adopt an amendment to the venue statute, limiting the trial of tort actions to the county in which the defendant resides or the cause of action arose. By the adoption of such an amendment, numerous cases now brought on for trial in Multnomah county will be tried in the county in which they arose and properly should he tried, and the overburdened condi tion of the Multnomah county circuit court docket thereby greatly relieved."

This is the second bill dealing with ath letics to be introduced in the house this week, the other one providing for the appointment of municipal boxing com missions in cities and towns of Oregon.

"Bitters-" an "ton ics," whose use are abused by substitu tion as beverages in the place of the now prohibited real "booze," are doomed to disbarment frokit the shelves of Ore gon drug stores, under the provisions of a bill prepared by the Ahtisaloon league of Oregon' and approved by Attorney General Brown. The bill is to be Introduced in the houBe by Representative Elmore. De termination of such abuse and the right to prohibit the sale of such alcoholic mixtures or compounds as are likely toJ be used as beverages is placed in the hands of the state board of pharmacy. "Considerable, complaint has been made that sales of so-called patent medicines are being made for beverage purposes." said Edwin Rawden, presi dent of the Antisaloon league, who was a statehouse visitor today, "This bill proposes to take care of that situation. Under the prohibition law, in order to secure a conviction for the sale of such preparations, it is necessary to sho that the seller knew the purchase was made for beverage purposes or that the sale was made under such circumstances that such knowledge would be imputed to the seller. - "Under the provisions of this new bill It woll only be necessary to show that the state board of pharmacy had made a ruling against the particular compound and that a sale had been made. in violation of that rule." Laf ferty Wants All Dogs Appearing in Company 'Muzzled' Salem. Jan. 25. Dogs and Jack rab bits were subjects of special considera-. tlon at the hands of the solons In the lower house Friday. Both species of the animal kingdom such of them at least as live in Oregon have had their day, providing two bills introduced In the house finally are enacted into law. The attention of the dog population of the state Is respectfully called to Repre- Wfer j Uiniele The unanimity with which our State legislatures have hastened to ratify the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a source of wonderment to many of our repre sentative newspapers. Thus to the New York Tribune it seems "as if a sailing-ship on a wind less ocean were sweeping ahead, propelled by some invisible force," while the New York Times explains the mystery by suggesting that "prohibition seems to be the fashion, just as drinking used to be." ' . : The nation-wide sweep of anti-liquor sentiment is accounted for by other well-known publications in more positive terms. The Pittsburg Gazette-Times declares that the abolition of intoxicants is dictated by "the deliberate judgment" of the American people and the Toledo Blade terms the movement "as remorseless as the rise of tides in the sea," yet the New York World characterizes it as "a most emphatic denial of local self-government." In the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week January 25th these varying views are discust in detail. Other articles ;of strong contemporary interest in this num ber are: ' - An To Fight Bolshevism With Food Not Enough Jobs Shall We Annex Our "Achilles' Heel?"
