$Jw gailjj gustorfan. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY OCTOBEIt 4. 18S5 THE LAWS DELAY. The most interesting topic touched upon at the recent meet ing of the American bar associa tion was that of "the delay and uncertainty in judicial administra tion," which formed the subject of a carefully considered report of the Teteran legal reformers David Dud ley Field and Judge John F. Dil lon. The conclusion arrived at by these gentleman was that the delay and uncertainty referred to could be materially lessened by the adoption of the following among other principles and meas ures: 1. Allowing summary judg ment upon negotiable instruments unless when the defendant is per mitted by order based on affidavit to interpose a defense. 2. Making the methods of pro cedure simple and direct, and do ing as much as possiblo out of court. 3. Shortening trials before ODurls by the enforcement of stricter discipline and closer ad herence to the precise issue in volved. ' 4. Limiting the duration of trials before referees. 5. Limiting the grounds for postponements of trials. G. Imposing penalties for the introduction of irrelevant matter into the records. 7. Limiting the time within which motions for or against pro visional remedies must be de cided. S. Restricting the granting of new trials to cases where it is ap parent that injustice has been done. 9. Appointing temporary judg es to dispose of business left un finished at the adjournment of courts of first instance. 10. Limiting appeals to courts of last resort in cases where they adjourn for a term, leaving unfin ished business. 11. Shortening the time within which appeals should be allowed. 12. Using greater care in the selection of judges. 13. Reducing the law itself, as far as possible to the form of a statute. 14. The collection and publi cation of statistics of litigation, to the end that people may know what business is waiting to be done. To the mind of the ordinary layman it has long seemed that much, if not too much of the work of the courts has to be redone. Vast sums of money are spent yearly in procuring retrials in the courts of first instance and reviews in the appellate courts. Whatever the fact may be, the presumption is, speaking generally, that such reviews and retrials are necessary, either because of an imperfect ap prehension of the law on the part of the judge of the first instance, or on account of an improper ap plication of the law to the facts in the case before him. In most cases probably no real necessity for a retrial or a review is found to exist; but be that as it may, re views are sought for at the ex pense of time and treasure of liti gants and of the state. The way to guard against such delays as arise from the causes mentioned, which are perhaps as influential as any in promoting delay, would seem to lie in the direction of in creasing the powers of the courts of first instance, and - elevating their personnel and in limiting the right to retrials and appeals. "With men of high attainments on the benches of our courts of or iginal jurisdiction much of the nec essity for appeals and new trials might be regarded as done away with. Of course an appellate or ganization would be necessary, if for no other Teason than to main tain uniformity in the law. But the confidence felt in original courts of high character would in great part relieve the pressure on the courts of last resort. Such a line of- policy as that indicated would, without doubt, excite a very vigorous opposition among those interested in prolonging litigation, and might even excite the anxious criticism of many not thus inter ested, but it would, we think, com mend itself to the great mass of disinterested citizens. From time immemorial it has been recognized that it is to the interest of the state that there should be a speedy end to litigation. It is of more importance that judicial business should be put in train to be done, that disputes should reach a speedy settlement, than that any particu lar set of legal conceptions should be polished to the last stage of refinement. This is the view that is taken by the people at large, as is seen in the popularity of meth ods of arbitration. It is also that favored (theoretically) by the poli cy of the law, though it is often widely departed from by some of the ministers of the law. The nec essities of the time demand a clos er realization of the principle in practice than it has hitherto been possible to secure. Russia proposes a conference of embassadors of the ICuropean powers at Constantinople, for the settlement of the Roumelia ques tion "on the basis of accepting the union of Bulgaria and Roumelia as an accomplished fact." The generosity of this proposition is remarkable. "My friend Bulgaria, here, has stolen your pockctbook," says Russia to the Turk. "Now I propose that my other friends, En gland, Germain', and one or two more, shall come in and settle the trouble between you amicably on the understanding that Bulga ria shall keep the pockctbook. If you don't agree to this lair basis of settlement, we will all turn and thrash you until you are ready to give up your watch, coat, hat, and boots as well' The world has never, or hardly ever, heard, even from Russia, anything m statecraft more purely equitable than this.
