The criticism of the pres ent judicial system in Klam ath county will be contained in resolutions which have already been prepared and which will be presented to' the association for adoption. Under the terms of the resolutions, a committee will be sought to conduct a thorough probe of the cir cuit court and ascertain, if possible, why, as the law yers allege, they arc unable to get their cases tried. It was reported from an authentic source today that the State Bar association has interested itself in the case and hae pledged to cooper ate with the Klamath asso ciation to bring about a rem edy for what lawyers term the present unsatisfactory condition of affairs. "Why, it's getti ng so bad that a lawyer is almost ashamed to look his clients in the face," declared one attorney today. "We are not trying to stir up strife. All we want is a betterment of conditions, and it seems that the only way they can be procured is to take some definite and decisive action, such as has been planned for tonight. Attorneys declare that there are a number of in stances wherein cases have been delayed for two years, and the docket, they say, is becoming more clogged month after month.
