JUDICIAL REDISTRICTING
OF THE STATE,

If the recommendations Of the COM
mission authorized by the last legisla
ture, and appointed by the supreme
court 70 redistrict the state be adopted,
a new judicial circuit will be created
which will be designated as the
Eighteenth circuit. The new district
ii the plan recommended by the com
mission referred to be approved by the
Legislature, will comprise the following
counties: Fond du Lac, Columbia, Green
and Marquette
AT present Fond du Lac county is a
part of the Fourth judicial district, over
which Judge Michael Kirwan of this
city presides and which in addition to
the county named, comprises Sheboy
gan, Manitowoc and kewaunee
counties. The change would afford the
necessary relief to the Judge of the
Fourth district which district is too
large at present The creation of the
new judicial circuit, as recommended
by the commission referred to, would
result in the cutting off of two counties
columbia and Marquette, as above
stated from the circuit now presided
over by Judge L. Ray Stevens Of Madi-
son and thus afford much needed re
lief to that jurist.
The commission also recommended
that Waushara county be taken from
The Seventh circuit presided over by
Judge Charles NJ Webb of Grand
Rapids, ana added to the Third circuit,
over which Judge George w. Burnell of
Oshkosh presides. 1t is also recon-
mended hat Trempealeau county be
taken from the Sixth circuit, presided
over by Judge John J. Fruit of La
Crosse, and attached to the Seventeenth
circuit, over which Judge James ONeill
of Neillsville presides Moreover, it
will be recommended that the Milwau-
kee county circuit be given an addition

MEMBERS OF STATE TAX
COMMISSION DECLARE ESTEHN'S
ELECTION ILLEGAL AND VOID.

The election of Herman Stein as
supervisor of assessments for Manitowoc
county was illegal and is therefore void,
according to Il lengthy opinion given by
Judge n, 5. ellison and Nils T. Haugen,
members of the state fax commits
sion. The opinion, which covers five
type written pages, states in substance
that, while the county board is authori
zed Cor requiredl by law to elect
certain officers the board has no authori-
ty to elect its own members to office.
The opinion cites several decisions of the
supreme court to show the illegality of
the boards action in electing Mr. Stehn.
When the matter Of electing super.
visor of assessments came up before the
board the question arose as to whether
Mr.. Stein could legally vote for him
self as a member of the board District
Attorney Hougen expressed the opinion
that if Mr.. Stehn's own vote secured his
election, the election would be held to
be illegal. The vote on the formal ballot
was rs follows: Stehn II, Maert2 H.;
Zorn /. Now, rs Is is no majority of
32, the total number Of votes, it follows
that Mr.. Stehn was elected by his own
vote.
But according to the opinion above
referred to Mr.. Stehn's election would
not have been valid under any circum-
stances, inasmuch as he was II member
of the board. If he had not voted at all
and had then been elected by the board,
his election w6nld still have been illegal.
As a result of the illegality Mr..
Stein election il is more than likely that
Mr.. w. G, Maertz of Reedsville will
hold over until his successor has been
legally elected and qualified. As the
law requires that the supervisor of
assessments shall be elected ut the annual
session of the county board every third
year, Mr. Maertz will in AL probability,
hold over for at least year, Mr..
Haugen, secretary of the state tax com
mission, clearly intimates that the board
has 40 authority to ill the vacancy at
this time if stehn does not serve
1t If generally believed that the opn-
ion given by members of the state tax
commission concerning the election of
the supervisor Of asses 'ments has no
bearing on the validity of the election OF
the superintendent of construction aud
the court house committee If the ones
tion of the legality of the election of the
committee should be raised it would
simply be up to Chairman Lehrmann
to appoint the committee and in
that case he would undoubtedly ap-
point the same members that now
constitute the elected committee While
the law does not authorize the election
of members of the board by the board
it does authorize the appointment Of
members by the chairman Of the board
to certain positions
As TO the superintendent of cOnstruc
tion, he was not really elected by the
board but the board expressed a pref
prence by resolution that Mr. Mohr be
appointed superintendent by the court
house committee
