MARTINS JUnI, IAL niLL.

Auo seuHto Olu, NO. Il, 1DtrOunCed
by Martin OF Douglas county, is ODE
In which the requirements are tuch
that hardly any difference would he
made ny its rassage frou the present
mode of practice. The requirement
that stands ont most prominent and
winch seems to be the principal OBJ
ject of the bill is that where the Judge
ls related to either party, or TO an at
torney thereof, by cons anguihity or
affinity within the third degree, be-
snail not act as such in the action.
This bill simply relieves either altor-
ney In an action from making request
for another judge to hear the cuse.
Under the present practice in the
district cortC Of Nevada the sanlt.
mode Ut pro .edure is taken il either
counsel ha- cause to believe that the
Judge, before whom the cmse has been
set for trial, is biased in favor Of the
opposition.
If the condition Of the present law
is not improved what use is there in
passing bill making law which in
lures men professionally. as such
wOnld be the case in the men toned
bill? For example, client has a
case which demands immediate at
tentinu and action must be taken
without delay in the district COURT.
A person with such case would not
seek counsel in the elder Mr.. Curler
OF Reno, for under the provisions OF
this act he wOuId have to make ap-
phcation TO Judge Curler to hav.
him request some other Judge in the
state to come mud sit upon the case.
This would in many instances cause
serious delay, as the Judge, to whom
the request is made, might have
pressing court matters in his own
district which could not be left,
therefore Mr.. Curler wonld have to
wait to suit the convenience Of the
judge. Naturally the client wonld
say that other counsel must he
sought, and with such state of
affairs existing Mr.. Curler wonld
loae n good portion of his practice
necessitating his removal to other
fields Of labor thereby, in one sense
OF the word, depriving him of MAIN
tanning an independent livelihood in
the locality which was eougt and
chosen ds his home.
From outward appearances there is
spiteful motive against parties to
whom the bill would effect. ANY
bill imbued with such motives de
serves defeat from its first iniroduc.
ton and unless some real principle is
manifested we believe 1t should not
become law Silver State.
From what we can learn of the
Martin bill it .is intended to ruin
Judge Curler for the benefit Of one
or two other attorneys in Reno and
Carson. The Legislature should not
lend ltselfto such schemes and no
Law should be placed upon our stat.
ute books by which the business OF
one man would be ruined for the
benefit OF another. There ia nothing
night about it and the Legislature
should kill it.
