:rMy 14. years experience on the
bench has led me to -the belief that
the greatest needs of today from, the
standpoint Of judicial procedure Is for
simpler forms . that will obviate - the
technical manner of pleading Such as
distinguished between actions at law
and suits in equity; with av view only
Of doing substantial Justice. Half -the
time cf the court is taken up with
a battle of wits between lawyers as
to1 whether they are following the
right procedure. - A litigant la not In
terested ln procedure, he wants his
case, tried upont - Its merits. : Why
should 7 he be penalised because -k his
lawyer used 'and instead of xr -or left
out the ; word 'sald'T 7- 71' , .
"Such nonsense as this is what has
brought our f courts Into dfsrepute
among many people. - When court pro

laymen will understand It and are sat

IS CRITICIZED BY
TAX fiOWlMlSSlOti
License Department Should Get
- Bigger Fees) Says Report)
- Street Upkeep HeldTauIty.
License ordinances of the city of
Portland should be redrafted to Impose
larger , fees' and thus provide greater
revenues, cays the tax supervising and
conservation commission in its final re
portion the municipal budget for 1923,
Just-placed in the hands of the city
counciL
It points out that the fees from build-
itiar Dermits still fail to meet the cost
f-of maintaining the inspection fores.
and that greater revenues should be
received from other sources.
-Specifically." says the report, "the
commission believes that the license
ordinances, might be redrafted to im
pose fees, among other things, for In
spection ot meat carcasses, for the
viewing of motion picture films, for the
Inspection of 7 elevators and for ' the
Issuance of health certificates for food
handlers." , . r v .-.
It declares that there is little real
cost accounting in - tha. city -depart
ments, except in the cist of the paring
plane ana tumu 1 tne aunyicr iurta
operations. - .
s, The. commission reviews the attempts
to put into practical effect a system
of police booths. It approves the idea
and states that it expects that addi
tional assignments to the services will
be made In . 1923. 7.7.-7.7 -
It is charged that there is lack ot
coordination in the bureau of pur
chase. " stationery room, bureatt of
stores and property custodian," and
urgest that all these be merged into a
Single bureau. . It urges closer . deft
ni tion of J the powers of the property
custodian so as to place upon him gen
era! . responsibility for the use and
cars of public personal property.
Commendation Is given .to Sylvester
C. Simmons, for many years an em
ploye at the city hall, for his careful
work In preparing the bureau of city
hail estimates nt 192a.
Commenting upon the making of the
Eastmoreland golf links a separate ac
tivlty on a self-sustaining - basis. the
report says tthat from -now onward
all money collected from febs ahd other
strvloes at the links will pass directly
to the general fund and not, as has
been the custom for years, into the
hands of the trustees tor expenditure.
It urges the early consummation of
the' purchase ef the south Bine holes
of the Eastmoreland links.
Commenting on the operations of the
fire prevention bureau, the report says
"The commission was not Impressed
re.
with the i-'-aa of inspections now being
followed. "
As to the street cleaning- bureau, the
report say the commission' has no
complaint, but urges a better system
of cost accounting. : -
The increase in the inspection force
of the bureau of buildings for 1923,
says the report, has not been sufficient
to dear away the mass of delayed
final Inspection cards. . - -
It commends the plan started lit 1922
Of transporting- inspectors in their au
tomobiles at a fixed monthly compen
sation. Commenting upon the apparently in
adequate provision made for - street
maintenance the commission purges the
council to consider this further. It
suggests -thaa the oil sprinkling equip
ment now In possession of the bureau
of street cleaning be turned over to
the bureau of maintenance, so that oiling-
mar be done at the proper time
after renairs. . - .
Discusainer the assessment collection
fund, the commission states that al
though the .- bonds - themselves bear. 6
to i 6 Vs per cent, it .is on - deposit in
banks at a rate of 2 per cent, thus
creating an unrecoverable los of ap
proximately ff860O per year. . ?
