MORE JUDGES NEEDED TO TRANS

Talk Of Pedisfricfing the state 90 Meet
Ends Of Justice-Jurists,' ITS said,

Have TOO Much 10 DO.
Certain local LAWYERS bel ieve the
next Legislature. which has the duty
imposed on 1T by the Contribution
provision requiring redistricting
every eight years. will redistrict the
State into ten Judicial districts and
increase the number OF Judges to
three in each. There are now IL dis
tricts, and the First. comprising the
counties of Hancock. Brooke Ohio
and Marshall. is the only one having
that number. since besides the two
Circuit Court Judges there is Grim
inal Court Judge for Ohio county
The districts NAV possibly be reduced
In number to eight aud the number Of
Judges increased TO three ia each.
but ten seems 10 be considered the
more likely.
This matter of judicial district re-
distributing has probably not occurred
TO half dozen of the nominees for
the Legislature. but 10 the LAWYERS
and clients it is a matter of the ut
most imp lrtance. anu because of the
present condition of things by which
the Judges in certain circuits are so
overworkad that Justice has been
grlevouslv delayed, it Is said there is
n growing dlsfespecC for the law.
Compelling the Circuit Court Judges
to try criminal cases has held back
more important civil cases until the
litigants have grown gray or died
waiting. This is true of the circuits
notable for their growth and develop
ment in recent wears. where oil and
coal land suits have piled M on the
dockets Of an alarming rate and given
the Judge of the circuit enough to do
for the rest of his life. More Judges
are an absolute necessity and they
can best be provided by a reduction
of districts iii number.
The Mary land system seems to find
favor with the bar. and there are
some who advocate the abolition of
the Criminal Courts. which they saw
cost the State $l0O 900 wear and are
unnecessary under proper judi
cial readjustment. The appeals are
too costly to the State, 1t is claimed.
because. before going to the Supreme
Court an anpeal from the Criminal
Court must be heard in the Circuit
Court. 1t is understood the State Tax
Commission reeo lamentations to
the Legislature will call for the expe
diting of causes and more sneedv
move of the arm of justice via the re
districting route. as complaints have
piled in from every county from those
worn weary waiting for deei sions.
