Of more judges and more frequent or
longer terms of court as shown by the
congested condition of the dockets
seem to promise that districts will be
created this year. Although one is re-
minded of the position that Senator
Aldrich took the last time this matter
was up in the egislature-that the
trouble lies with the lawyers who
should be taught to concentrate by
authority being given to the judges to
limit the time a case should consume
before it is started-and arrangement
w,iieh would be Of great benefit to
both the lawyers and the state.
The,c will be a strong effort to
change the law with regard to making
the showing before the governor on
which he orders elections for new
counties. Mr.. Raysor has bill in the
senate looking to the appointment Of
a board to supervise the surveys and
pass upon whether the constitutional
requirements as to property have been
met, this board to consist Of three,
one selected by the old counties af-
fected, the other by the territory cut
off and the third by the other two,
and Mr.. McColl in the house seeks to
have the board appointed entirely by
the governor.
The work of the legislature during
the present week is likely to be Of
greatest importance and interest. The
governors Inauguration will interrupt
a bit on "Wednesday and the elections
will butt in on the 26th, but both
Of these events Will be Of more or less
