cult Courts Of Appeals, known a. the
Northern and Southern circuits, and the
grouping Of parishes into these circuits
in such manner as to insure fair dis
tribution Of labor, each court to be pre-
sided over by three judges, with salary
OF $4,000 year each. This court instead
of going to all of the parishes, ~ now
required by law, should hold their see-
siOns in different localities throughout
the circuit, with the right Of appeal upon
the original record, az il now done, with
out further cost to itigants.
To cut down the enormous costs in
criminal matters in magistrates courts,
he has this to say: have given this
matter most serious consideration, and
recommend an amendment to the consti-
tuition divesting justices of the peace of
all criminal authority save that Of COM
INITIAL for trial. and the creation and es-
Establishment Of q minor criminal court in
each parish, presided over by an attor-
ney-at-law, which shall have Jurisdiction
in all cases not necessarily punishable by
hard labor. This magistrate should have
power to summon jury Of five for the
trial Of all cases, and his court should be
open at all times.
He suggests q law requiring all State
and parish officers, school board, police
jury, etc., to file semi-annual statements
of all funds disbursed, with the Auditor
aud with the clerk OF the court of each
parish, the same to be open to public in
spection at all times.
A law is asked for making prize fight
ing q crime.
Police juries-For q number of years
the Legislature has provided for the ap-
pointment by the Executive Of police ju-
ries throughout the State. No one ever
pretended that there was any other jus
6fication for renting this great power
to the hands of the Executive than the
grave necessities which confronted many
sections of our State. Under the appoint
i've system the parishes have paid enor-
nous debts, many Of them reduced local
taxation, and to day are contributing
Handsomely toward the support of pub
lie schools and the erection Of public
buildings and other works of public
utility. But the people have always
been jealous of this transfer Of their
rights to the Executive, and, believing
that the necessity for its surrender no
longer exists, they are FESTIVE under fur
Their deprivation from their right to Sc
lect their own local government ! rec
ommend that hereafter the police juries
be elected by the people.
A law for the equalization Of assess-
ments is held to be imperative, and .
good form is outlined.
Congratulating you on the continuous
and marked progress the State has made,
and Is making, l feel that it will not be
aniss, in conclusion, to say that this
prosperity may be greatly enhanced by
wise legislation on your part, promoting
material developments, protecting per-
sonal rights, and providing more speedy
and economical administration of JUS
tice. MURPHY J. Fo4rER, Governor.
