THOSE JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

Senate Adopts the Special Committees Re-
port After Some Argument
The special committee selected to redls-
trict the State judiciary reported yester-
morning. The report was adopted and
sent to the committee on organization of
courts. Senator Sellers moved that one
thousand copies be printed. that all
might be familiar with il. Of course
this means caucus and the bills ultimate
passage. Senator Boyd made a speech
Charging the committee with having tackled
county to his, with but one Judge Tor
both, which would require eighty-twO
weeks of court year to dispatch the busi-
ness.
Senator Newly said he was in favor of
the motion to print one thousand copies of
the bill for distribution, that the people
might become acquainted with its pro-
visions before the committee on the organ
lzatiOn of courts acted on it, thus affOrding
any one an opportunity to appear before
while the special committee that drafted
the bill no doubt acted cautiously In the
matter, the bill, as now made, was wrong
and inequitable; that the statistics show
there are an average of 1,S00 cases pending.
some circuits having as few as
s44. while In the counties of Hen
~ and Randolph, constituting the
proposed twentieth judicial circuit, there
are 49l6 cases pending; that Henry county,
with one of the most efficient and ener-
getic judges In the State. had over 2. 100
cases pending. three hundred moro than
the judicial unit; that Randolph has one
Thousand more cases pending than the
unit; that Henry now has forty to forty
two weeks of court. as does also Randolph
county, and that it would be physical
impossibIlity for one Judge to transact the
business of both counties; that he believed
it q shOrt-sighted policy of economy to
abridge tho rights of the people In having
their interests presented in the courts;
that it Is an uDdisputed fact
that Indiana has . less number of
courts than any other State in
the Union in proportion to, her
population. That while the bill was
claimed to be an effort to lessen the ex-
pense of holding courts, it Will have the
contrary effect, as the expenses of the
necessary special judges that would have
to be appointed would cost much moro
than the amount saved by cutting down
the number of circuits.
