Grand Jury System Abolished

Minnesota has followed the lead of
Wisconsin and North Dakota and has
abolished the grand jury system. By
a vote of more than 12l, 600, the legis-
lature is directed to adopt this month
a constitutional amendment eliminat-
ing it from the legal machinery of the
state. The last legislature, after
convincing itself Of the success with
which the two states named were
working under the plan, decided to
submit the question to the electors.
The vote is the result. For some
years there has been much discomfort
over the workings of the system.
Hearing only one side of the case, the
prosecution, the grand jurors often
bring in an Indictment on little evil
dence. In many of these cases they
are unfair and work an injustice to
the victim. Then the annoyance and
expense of bringing indicted presons
to trial, only to have the case
"quashed" by the court, was an
argument that carried much weight.
Just as frequently, when questionable
cases were permitted to go to a jury
trial, the defendant was dismissed.
No change will mark trial procedure
under the new conditions except that
the grand jury will be eliminated. The
committing magistrate will hold the
preliminary examination and if the
evidence is deemed sufficient the pris-
oner will be bound over to the Circuit
Court. The county attorney then will
file an information with that court
and the case will be docketed.
Wisconsin's legal machinery for
years has been without the cog known
as grand jury. This is found much
more satisfactory than the old plan of
calling grand jury regularly to
investigate complaints. Under the
present system anyone can appear
before the district attorney, and if his
evidence is deemed sufficient warrant
is issued. In Milwaukee County war
rants, except in important cases, are
issued by the clerk of the municipal
Court. If the complainant is not
satisfied he can appeal to the district
attorney, and that official may have
the warrant issued.
Grand juries can be called, but this
is done under a special order of the
court and has been done in Milwaukee
only few times in the past quarter
century and seldom resorted to in this
country. 1t is used only in cases
fraught with much importance to the
public, such as three cent boodlng
cases, where the witnesses are more
likely to give testimony. In ordinary
cases its believed better to have the
complaining witness shoulder the
responsibility, and thus prevent unjust
or frivolous charges.

Many BOunties are Unpaid.

During spasm of patriotism, when
President Lincoln issued his first call
for volunteers at the breaking out of
the civil war, the Clinton county
board of supervisors offered bounty
of $75 to every soldier who would
enlist within six months. A large
number responded to the call and $50,
who resided at Dewitt where the
court house was then located received
the bounty. However, a large num-
Der, residing elsewhere in the county,
never received their bounty, and
today the claims stand against the
county. They are recorded in two
volumes which the county auditor
accidentally found in the court house
few days ago. In addition to the
original claims there is more than
forty years accrued interest. The
records show which claims were paid
and the date the obligation was
discharged. Some of the attorneys
claim the bills can be collected by
the old soldiers or their heirs, while
others assert that they have been
outlawed. The matter may be tested
in the courts.

Alleged MisapprOp ration.

A suit was instituted at Northwood
last week by the Farmers Mutual
Cooperative Live Stock association
of Kensett, Worth county, to recover
$40, 600 which Manager f. E. Filing
son, Bookkepper T. S. Bakken and
Treasurer Haugen are alleged to have
Incorporated. The affair has
caused great sensation in Worth
county ON account of the prominence
of the men charged with the wrong
doing. Nearly four hundred leading
farmers are members of the associa-
ton. The matter was brought to a
crisis at the annual meeting which
was held at Kensett Saturday. Near
ly all the members were present and
when the report of the expert accoun-
tant, Hort Francisco, who had been
engaged to examine the books, was
read they became wildly excited.
Francisco claimed that there was a
shortage of about $1,000 when there
should have been a surplus of $40, 900.
Ellingson and the others were repre-
sented at the meeting by Attorney
Johnson, of Northwood. First, Mr..
Johnson asked the members to re-elect
the officers, but the farmers refused.
Then he pleaded to have the case ad-
justed out of court. The farmers
would not listen to this, and ad-
journed without taking definite &C
ton. Some of the leading members
evidently got together after the meet
ing, for the suit was filed early to-
day. Treasurer Haugen is a nephew
of Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen.
He is also cashier of the Bank at
Kensett, of which Congressman
Haugen is president The case will
be heard at the next term of court
which will convene in Northwood
the latter part of January.
