the Legislature, ana take Sucn Otner steps
as may be necessary. The petition in part
states:
Your memoriGlists the Bar Association of San
Francisco, and members of the bar of the State
of California respectfully beg leave TO represent
to YOU that, in their view so much of the Gov
errors proclamation as invites your labors TO
the reorganization ofthe Supreme Court OF th's
State is not warranted by any sufficient public
emergency and that should you undertake
such labors, with the result desired by the
Executive, such result could not but
be full OF peril to the State. It is
proposed, because of a certain decision of the
Court assumed to be wrong, to abolish the
Court as at present constituted, and upon its
ruins to erect another appellate tribunal. whose
members shall agree with the views of those
who nOw clamor for its destruction. Because
a coordinate branch of the Government has
met the official displeasure of another co-nrdi-
nate branch, this latter has called upon the
third coordinate branch to take summary
measures for the purpose OF rendering one sub
servient to the others. That this is so palpable
as to be gross is evident upon the most eursory
reading of the Governors proclamation, es-
peeially if it be read in the light of
history OF the time; but when we
couple with it what has been Of
ficially put forth by the Executive
vention, there can be no longer any room
for GouDt that an independent Judiciary can
never, under any system of government be Sc
cured, if Judges can be turned out at mo-
ments notice. whenever they have rendered
decision which a powerful Interest dislikes or
their places put in peril whenever the leglsla-
tive and executive branches of the Government
may chance to assume the lawto be different
from what the Courts have pronounced II TO be.
IL is believed that no Judge except in an AMIGA
Bile suit, ever rendered decision winch did not
more or less offend some one, but until now IL
has never been proposed to remove Judge be-
cause he did not perform the impossible, and
please everybody by his judgments; and if the
proposed removal in such cases be sought
IN he ground
every decision of the Court should be such as
to be in accord with the wishes or impressions
OF the majority of the people, then the only
alternative is to abolish Courts entirely, and
submit all controversies to a popular vote.
Your rnenlOrialists therefore submit TO your
honorable bodies the foregoing reasons against
your proposing any amendment to the state
Constitution providing for a reorganization OF
the Supreme Court of the state.
