In the heat of political campaign
when discussing the affairs of state and
nation, We are IN danger of overlooking
some matters of our own county which
are as vitality interesting to us as are the
national issues Of tariff and revenue.
BY provision of statute we are to vote
at our coming election upon the ques.
ton of increase of jurisdiction of the
county court, We ought, before doing
SO, to carefully consider whether or not
we should be benefited by such increase
of jurisdiction. I am informed of an
effort to show that the proposed change
is in the interest of economy, and that
for this purpose the expenses Of the dis
trict are being arrayed before the people
with the intent to leave upon their minds
the false impression that if the business
were transferred to the county court
this expense would be done away. The
fallacy of this is seen at q glance when
welook at the provisions of the law.
The constitution provides that there
shall be two terms Of the district court
in each county every year. This is a
fixture. II cannot be done away except
BY constitutional amendment. Nor
would the people consent If it could be
done. We may multiply lower courts
to the utmost extent and still the higher
remains necessity. We already have
also the justice court in which matters
of minor importance may be heard at
