MIR. SMITH Is STATISTICAL.


Superior Courts.
Editor Of The News: I see from
your paper that we are to have a
vote on the city court. I think the
proposition is fair to both sides.
And I hope that the executive com
mittee when it meets on the 14th..
will pass a resolution calling for an
election on this question. L see no
reason why it would not be entirely
satisfactory, and within the power Of
the committee.
My individual view is that the
court is not a benefit, but an ex-
pense, and that the court necessarily
adds to the burden of taxes which
the people have to pay. In the last
three years the city court has been
in session fOrty-two days at a cost
Of SO, 490.00-at the rate of S2O2. 90
per day. In the last three years the
superior court was in session forty
nine days at a cost of $9,8OO.OO-
cost per day even $4,000. The
superior court costs less per dav
than the city court. and yet the CITY
court has only twelve to tWenty-fOur
jurors, and they are only paid $3.50
per day, while the superior court has
tWenty-four grand jurors at $500
per day and from forty-eight to one
hundred petit jurors at $500 per
day. So it is clear tnat the city
court, instead of being cheaper
court, as we thought it would be
when established, is in reality cost
ing more to run it than the superior
court J. H. SMITH.

accorded the candidate was a bril-

Before the meeting the candidate

Fourth, we believe in trials by
