DOS PASSOS of Now York City, one of the lending lnwyers of America, in an interview in tho Now York World says that our legal system is "rotten," and that it operates rather to detent justice than to promote it, that it is growing worse from year to year: that it favors the rich as against the poor, and that the. lawyers them selves arc to hlame. He says in part: "Our present legal system is rotten. Tt operates chiefly to defeat the very purposes for which society supports it naniely, to render justice, to suitors quickly,' surely and in expensively. "The law should be clear in its principles, simple in its lurius, jtiat an us application aim swuc in us execution. Instead of this, we find in the United States a body of law which is ill-avranged, inconsistent and incomprehensible, and which is of such enormous bulk that its administration along fair and equitable lines is absolutely impossible. "Add to this that our civil and criminal procedure has been growing worse from year to year; that it is today more complicated, more expensive, more dilatory and more oppressive than it was a generation ago, and a caso has been stated which cries aloud for drastic reform. "The so-called law is contained in statutes and judicial opinions so numevous that thov would fill about (5000 vol umes of 700 pages each. It is a preposterous collection of contused and conflicting authorities. "'I'll j Hiinitn ! - -( dtiii 1 r 4-1. ,v v. ilt Kti J.1IU OlIU'lMim lUtll-lll-IMK lit J VI IS llll" UliU Willi IV fingering through this enormous mass of law literature digs out the most eases. In this task he not only buries his moral principles, but he closes his mind, locks up his intel lectual powers and hunts for the truth? Not at all for what some individual, perhaps an ignoramus clothed with judicial functions, has ruled on the matter years, months or days ago. And to make the matter worse,' there are forty eight state legislatures, as well as tho United States con gress, turning out new laws with frightful and relentless rapidity. "Now, the greater part of this unwieldy mass of ,iudic- lnl and legal lore could be wiped out of existence if we abol ished the single legal maxim, 'stare decisis.7 The literal meaning of this phrase is 'let the decision stand' and its application is that whenever a point of law is raised m court it is possible for the lawyers on either side to drag into the case every reference which stands in the whole record of judicial decision to points which are identical with or closely similar to the one under discussion. "The maxim 'stare decisis' is not a principle of justice; it is merely a legal doctrine, and it runs counter to that fun damental principle which underlies all judicial decisions namely, that a judgment stands because it is just, not be cause it rests upon nudge-made, precedents. "It is by appealing to the maxim 'stare decisis' and by resorting to every mechanical device which the legal forms place at the disposal of the wealthy suitor that our boasted equality before the law is reduced to a mockery and that the rich man is enabled to hide behind a thousand techni calities of which the poor man has not the means to avail himself. "Most of the forms and practices attending the admin istration of justice in this country are useless. They should be eradicated, and with their disapiiearancc would fall to pieces the present organization of the bench and the bar. "Speaking with reference to our legal system as a whole, I say that every case should be decided on its mer its; that the records of judicial history should be short ened; that the lengthy and involved opinions of judges should be prohibited; that the office of barrister or pleader should be separated from that of solicitor; that lawyers should becomo real officers of the law, concerned only to discover the truth and to establish the right, instead of seeking to obscure the former and to defeat the latter, and, as the first and indispensable condition upon which all other reforms are finally dependent, let the bench and the bar be forever divorced from politics. "It is the aim of the criminal law to ascertain whether a person accused of crime is guilty or not guilty, and that criminal procedure is best which settles the question with tho least delay, at the lowest cost and with the greatest certainty. "For a lawyer it is humiliating to be forced to admit that most of the evils of our legal system arc to be traced to the lawyers themselves. The substantive law as it goes in the statutes is drafted by lawyers, tho technical pro cesses ot the law are devised by lawyers, the administration of tho law is entirely in the hands of lawyers, tho opportun ities for delay, sophistical differentiation and profit which the law and the codes of procedure afford arc better known to lawyers than to any other class of our citizens, and it is the lawyers who reap whatever monetary gain there is in the faults which their system perpetuates." , MABEL NORMAN, MOVIE STAR, "SIMPLY DOTES" ON BOXERS RF (HI ' jriMifr A 4BBB F BBSsM - A'r.oISSSSSSSSSSSSsi K H taHE itBBBE -MNMIbBbV 't.'ft MllTj aBBlBlBlBlBlBlBlKi wIPt "v " oK 'QyPKs .am vHaiBBiBiKa . tthvt?

Carlson prepared today a special message to tho loglslnturo, congratulating It upon Its efforts to go to tho bottom ot the charges grow, lng out of tho dollvory of a packagu of currency to Itupresentatlvo W. W. Howland on the floor or the Colorado houso of representatives I-'ubruary U. Tho governor urged tho passage of ponding bills to reduce state oxponses and to create a statu industrial com mission. Tho mossaKo probably will be transmitted tomorrow. Tho county grand Jury resumed Its inquiry into tho Howland enso. How land arrested Into Saturday on a charge- of perjury growing out of his tostlmony boforo a leglslatlvo InvestU gating connnlttuo, still uas In Jail, hatng failed to furnish bond In tho sum of $2000. It wan stated at tho district attor ney's office that us Howland k ar rest had been on a direct Information No Crime to Kill a Game Warden (From tho Portland Oregonian.) The acquittal of I.orin Martin, hhtyer of Deputy Qnrne Warden Hub hard, in Jackson county, again proves that human life is tho cheapest thing in tho world, except the nlayer'H, Tho tender feeling of tho whole public toward all murderers was illustrated labt Noverabor, when the stnto abol ished capital punishment; and the sensitive regard juries hnvo for tho right of any man to kill his enemy is shown by tho failure of the ordinary jury three times out of four to con vict, if the iiciuibcd bus friends and influence. Arthur S. Hubbard was a game warden, one of the best in the serv ice of the stnte. Ho was shot by Martin in the performance of his du ties, He had taken venison from the cabin of Martin and was about to placo him tinder arrest. Martin re sisted by killing Ilubburd. The slayer had tlje sympathy, straago as it may seem, of many JjMKple, wjtlt whom no doubt enforce., ment of gnmo laws is not popular. It is ojwiily declared in Jackson coun ty, and the charge is repeated by flumo Warden Finloy, that Sheriff Kingler and his deputies actively sup ported the defense by lending their official influence to Martin. If the charge is true, Sheriff Singler ought to ho recalled. Tho sad miscarriage, of justice has led to a vigorous protest by Game Warden Finloy, who makes this an nouncement; "I do not intend to appoint another deputy game warden in Jackson county. I regurd tho value of human life more highly than tho enforcement of gume laws. If necessury, we can do without game rather thun to leave a homo without u father and make orphans of helpless children. Tho poachers huvo freo sway in Jackson county.
