Statistics are queer things at best and
wonderfully easily juggled to the interests
and advantages of politicians and the
crafty ones of the earth. A writer some
time ago compared the cost OF government
in the United States and in New Zealand,
much to the disadvantage to the latter
country, that was cited as costing each
inhabitant 1888, while the per capita
cost In the United States is but S97. As
a matter of fact the figure given for
New Zealand comprehends all the cost
of government. while that Of the United
States is but the cost of federal govern
ment, and to which must be added the
cost of state and municipal management.
In the District of Columbia, as an exam
pie, the cost of government is $50 per
capita, and the estimates for next year
raise the cost to $40, making the district,
in that respect. the highest priced place

which was not increased in pro-
portion to the additional work

State recognized that this make
shift court was unsatisfactory.
In creating this new circuit
court of appeals particular at
tentiOn has been devoted to the
question of reducing the costs
of litigants. 1t has been made
the poor mans court. Appeals
are made on the original dOcu-
ments, and every safeguard is
thrown around the question of
expense. This very fact will at
tract litigants to this court who
before would seek the higher
court, and in this way the su-
preme court will no doubt be re-
lieved of much ligitatiOn which
has helped to crowd the dOckets

pen time and again that the
other Judge has a case before
him, is employed in the dis
charge of some other duty as
district Judge, or is sick-indeed,
excuses or hindrances will be
plentiful. AS a proof, since 1900,
the circuit court has consisted
of one circuit Judge. the term of
the others having expired, and
one district Judge for each dis
trict of the court OF appeals.
For four years the plan to have
district judges serve on the
court of appeals has been tried
and every lawyer, almost with
out exception, has pronounced it
a failure, for the very reasons
given above and, others equally
as Objectionable. In other words,
unless the amendment is voted,
the court of appeals will be a
glittering dream, and as a result
the poor man will have no court
to appeal to: for no appeal lies to
the Supreme Court for a sum
less than $1,000. This will give
the rich man an advantage de-
MED to the poor man, which is

Circuit Court of Appeals.

Sss~uaS SVulI VI
Shreveport Times.
The Louisiana Democrat of
Alexandria comes back at the
Times and says there are several
tangible reasons" why the cir
cult court of appeals amend
ment should not be adopted.
Summing up the long argument
made by the Democrat. only two
reasons can be found. viz: That
the proposed amendment i'm
poses $4,000 a year additional
expense on the State and that 1t
will not ameliOrate the condition
complained of through the
crowding of the supreme court.
1t is all very well to harp upon
the large increase of expense
and to say that the Louisiana
judiciary system now costs
$1OO,0OO a year more than the
system in Mississippi, but the
Democrat OverlOOks the fact that
Mississippi is a common law
State; that it's whole judiciary
fabric is built upon the common
law, while the fundamental
principles of the Louisiana sys-
TEN are derived from the French
law. The one is simple, and the
other is full of complexities.
To reduce the cost Of the ju-
dietary in Louisiana, and to
materially reduce the expense to
litigants, would involve a radical
change of the whole system that
has endured for hundred years.
Now as to the actual increase in
the expense, that does not alto
gether hold good. There was a
circuit court of appeals composed
of eight judges, and the con-
stitutional convention of 1898
made provision for the gradual
abolition of the places occupied
by the circuit judges, two going
out of Office every two years,
until last July, when the last two
ceased to be judges. But the
duties of circuit Judge were i'm
posed upon the district judges
and they were assigned by the
supreme court to certain dis
tricts. This was an imposition
upon the district judges, and
forced upon them expenses Of
nR
