HAsuoE COUNTY JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT.

AN
The Reno Gazette discussing = sub
jecr Of much local Importance says
issl "Wsshoe county should DO sep
.rate Judicial District because it would
save ,i,igsnts much unnecessary ex'
reuse. /. would expedite ali matters
pertaining to legal affairs. II would
rrcysnt ci.i, cases from remaining on
the calendars for one yoar aud half
- they Go jus. at present. l: would
prevent unnecessary expense 10 the
county and aid the administration G!
iIsiIce in maDy ways. Fer Instance,
II YOU wish e institute case and IS
sGe M injunction, You are compelled
t. wal. the arrival Of the district judge,
which: IS not determined by your ne
eassit!cs bu: b. the routine OF his du-
I,ls. Your aGgresscs may do you ire
parab.a damage before district .iudgc

iza AZ Injunction. BESIDES this, there
j. mich Probate business and CHAM
ts. business which should not be de-
isyed Su; which mas necessarily lee
pu, CT 10 await the convenience of cir
cLnlssanceS. IN California there are
COUNTY Judges. and in the absence of a
district Judge he county judge enjoys
bis powers and hence jr.iic" - not
.,e,-yet. There should TIC 4 change
IN ,tis respect: the county = largo
ard rich enough 20 be a separate dis
;yic., srd al concerned would Ue beE-
e.,ted thereby. The bar and bench
ara 4 uc;t ulon The subject and We
nops our Legislators will see to our
interests in this respect" This sub
jact Is Of too large general interest to
be treated in any bill having bear
ing upon the Washce District, only.
We believe GU. present Judicial sys-
ten, 10 70 ~ admirable one III many
and, indeed, ic most respects. 1t is
admirable because of ;ka sim v'ic.!v of
its machinery. Ent We 30 not think
the Cistric. system is quite defensible.
We thiuk tina, each comfy ought 70
hs judicial entity in itself. Call it
i" District" IL 50 calling i will not mis-
lead anybody: but, as fer As possible,
Ie. each county be complete within it
sci: and have anl. sustain and pay for
~ ONE Judiciary. Washoe county
ought 10 be District in itself; and 81
ouch. Or,usby. so ought Douglas;
and SO cugh. every other county in
the State except, perhaps. Churchill
which ought to be absorbed into the
fou. counties which border upon its
boundaries. II may he objected that
the populations OF the spafseiy settled
counties ara not allie 10 command tho
sor. Of men who are Ct for the bench
that they cauno: psy salary enough to
make il an object for daily qualified |
men 10 serve. This is All old a-Su- |
,nen,. bu. "a SO believe. very weak |
one. An- comm ar!ty Big enough to |
~ustHil p county government ~ amply |,
anIa to ray the salary OF = competent
Judge. VIA. the Gazette says about
ii,s ares:ion, rs applying TO Washoe
and lis needs and interests,
applies with equal force here, i'll Doug
las. in Esmeralds, and all over The
State, with the exception Ne have
j. ace Ia regard 10 Churchill. Tie diff
iicul.y il that when this State vas
framed. Tho trainers thereof had il
heir heads the Old machinery OF Cir
nit Courts. and so they created what
hey called Districts. Perhaps the
,ys;en WAS needed, theE; but 1t seems
o bc unnecessary now, save perhaps
IL some instances. At all events. the
L 1.e populous counties should sus-
ain ,iiei- own Judiciary; for the pres
~. system not only entails too much
.o.k upon the Judge, but it derrives
i,icants of that ready-at-hand oppor-
unity for trial and settlement without
which 1.-The laws delays" are too
prolonged.
