Investigating the charges against Judge
Axtell, of New Mexico, reported that
while there was nothing against the
integrity of Axtell, he WAS untitled for
the position Of Associate Justice, be-
cause of his unjudicial methods" In
other words, that he was incapable but
not dishonest. If either be true he
should not hold a judicial position.
Ignorance is AZ dangerous TN the bench,
