Judges Suggest Code Revision.
A COMMITTEES. Of thaA state Bar associa-
ton. consisting OF District Judges Holmes
Of Lancaster. Letton Of Jefferson. Grimes
OF Lincoln. Baxter OF Douglas and Good Of
Saunders, met here last night and discussed
until after midnight plans for revision OF
various laws. Another meeting is to be
held December l. at which each Judge is
to present the draft measures intended to
be presented to the state legislature.
II was decided that In the absence OF
any code revision commission there were
some avs that needed immediate atten-
ton. One Of these Is that relating to d.
NoECeh. One plah u 10 pronlDlt remalr1ago
Of the party at fault. making IL bfgamous
TO do so. Another ~eontemplatss prohibit
tion Of remarriage within six months OF
both parties.
General agreement was reached on the
proposition that the state should return
to the old plan Of district. attorneys. II is
not proposed to abolish or greatly curtail
the county attorneys duties, but Il is pro-
posed 10 slice on their combined salaries
enough TO pay the fifteen new officers the
district Gttorneyshin plan involves. The
plan is that each district attorney shall
receive 5000 a year and his duties will bt
largely devoted TO criminal prosecutions
This will not. Of course. AFFECT Lancaster
and Douglas counties.
The reason for this lies in the fact that
In many OF the counties OF the state Grim,
insl prosecutions have been most inefn
eiently conducted and enforcement OF tbs
law has therefore relaxed. Back OF this
lies. OF course. no ~eerruptioq or disinclina.
