Brand says that newly - appointed justices should be freed from the ne cessity to campaign during their orientation period on the court. ' Justice Brand, who has an nounced his retirement effec tive July 1, says adoption of the so-called "Missouri sys tem" would help speed han dling of the backlog of court cases. He said that under the sys tern justices are appointed by the governor for 12 yeajs and are subject to recall at stated intervals by popular vote. Should Be Separated Justice Brand said the judi cial office should be separat ed from partisan politics. He cited the cases of Jus tice William McAllister, who was named to succeed the late Walter Tooze, and of Gordon Sloan who was nam ed to succeed Justice Randall Kester who resigned to take another position. He said each was compelled to spend time and effort to conduct a campaign for election to the court. Justice Brand estimated that 19 out of 20 Oregon en tries into the state judicial system come first by appoint ment, followed by election. He said no man can be ex pected to give up a law prac tice and then studiously de vote his time to writing judi cial opinions when politicians are out to beat him in an election campaign.
