That the addition of two supreme Justices to the five now con nected with the court will be one of the liveliest topics to be considered by the next legislature, is the opinion of several of the members-elect of both the senate and the house. Un der the amendment to article VII, no restrictions are plnced on the number of ju. tices and the legislature Is given full sway to muke as uiany additions as It pleases. That a move will be placed on foot to increase the number from five to seven is certain now, and It Is under stood plans are already under way for the lraming of a measure to cover the Increase. , Under the amendment voted upon favorably by the people, the supreme court is instructed to go completely into the record if necessary, and go beyond the exceptions which counsel might make to the rulings of the cir cuit court. It is stated by those who are favorable to Increasing the num ber of the supreme bench that this will practically necessitate the pro posed additions. It Is understood that the bill for In crease of number of justices will be one of the first to be Introduced at the coming session.
