read to him the terse facts of the
crime charged against him and re

Of "not guilty by reason of Insan

allegations of error and trial vio

After the long motion had been
read to the court Judge Trabucco
ruled that the sentencing of the
defendant would be postponed un

right at the court house.
This assertion, which summar
ies the position taken by advo
cates of the new library, has been
deplored and resented rather than
met and answered by the oppo
sition. The gist of the opposition's
fc'anJ seems to be, "King's-X on
Uthaf argument, because w4 didn't
know what it was all about when
" started raizing this library proposition."
Through all the hubbub raised
iu the effort to foreve the court's

It has already been started, these
fd. fs stand out unrefuted and for
tht most part not even denied:
I. The Oregon system of Juris
prudence, like virtually all others,
U such that it cannot function
with efficiency and Justice except
y using certain court decisions
and legal authorities as a guide.
2. Unless available at the
place where cases are tried, these
delusions and authorities cannot
be used at time of trial.
To make them available at
ich time, as required by Justice
ri. I efficiency, tne Marlon county
irt has authorized a small law
ibrary to be established at the
county court house.
i. To pay for the library, a
10 per cent addition is made to
e.4ch filing fee. to be set aside in
the library fund.
The amount paid by each litl
gint toward the new fund will be
an follows:
Plaintiff in action or suit In
volving $500 or less, 60 cents.
Defendant in action of suit in
volving $500 or less, 25 cents.
Plaintiff In action or suit in
volving over $500. $1.00.
Defendant in action 'or suit in

Estate amounting to $4000 or
l-'ss. one dollar.
Estate amounting to $8000 or

A tate amounting to oyer $8000
In a word, the smallest cost or

filing fee. and the sum used for
the library will amount to Just 10
