Our Judiciary System.

!
The following paragraph from the
Ruston Calagraph expresses our
sentiments exactly: ).
" There is no doubt that a good
parish court system is the best for
the people. The system in force at the
time of the adoption of the present
constitution could be so altered as
to make it answer every purpose
and at the same time greatly reduce
the expense of the judiciary, in our
opinion. By abolishing the Circuit
Court and adopting an efficient par
ish court system, charging the
District Court districts SO as to
more fully occupy the time of the
judges, we believe system
could be established that would
work well and answer the demands
of the times. The Circuit system is
nuisance; it is about as much
service to the judiciary of this State
as fifth wheel would be to a wagon.
1t was not so much designed to
further the ends of justice and afford
relief to litigants as to provide for
the welfare aud convenience of The
legal fraternity. What we want is
system that will dispose of litiga-
ton in the shortest possible time, do
it efficiently and at the least possible
cost to the people. Nothing short
of a parish court system will do this.
Let us do away with this Circuit
Court and reinstate the Parish
Court. 1t is all bosh to argue that
the Circuit Court is necessary to re-
lieve the Supreme Court. The Su-
preme Court can be relieved with.
out the aid of the Circuit Court. It
would be better and cheaper to have
two more Supreme judges than to
carry this burdensome Circuit
Court"
On the same subject the vermilion
Meridional says:
HWe fully agree with our esteem
ed contemporary, the Natchltoches
Democratic Review, that the pres
emit judicial system Of this State ia
too expensive and needs a thorough
overhauling. There should be a
tribunal provided for the adjustment
and disposition of the petty crimes
and misdemeanors which occupy so
| much of the time of our District
Court, aud entail such enormous ex-
pense upou the taxpayer"
