HARDIN DISCUSSES
PROPOSED CHANGES
Was Member of the Commission
Which Prepared the Pend
ing Amendments.

A statement by John r. Hardin, who
Was one of the commission which pre-
pared the pending amendments which
are to be voted upon at the special cleo.
ton on September IA, was issued in
circular form today by the COMMITTEES
of the State Bar Association on the
judiciary amendemnt. The statement
follows:
1.-THE commission which framed he
pending judiciary amendments received
many suggestions from within n
without the legal profession. There
was no unanimity as to the character
of the changes. There was, however,
substantial agreement that the judi
ciary provisions of the constitution of
1874 had become ineffective to serve the
= greater population and increased bust
ness of today, and that radical changes
were imperative to relieve the con-
gested calendars of both trial and APP
pellate courts and to prevent the re,
newal of similar conditions in the
future. Like agreement as to the ne
cessity for change has attended the
4, discussion of the amendments while be-
fore two Legislatures n under popu'
lar scrutiny prior to the approaching
election. The opposition has been al
most entirely confined to criticism OF
the system proposed; the critics have
not as a rule offered a word of defense
for the existing combination of consti-
tutional and statutory tribunals admit
tedly unsatisfactory In its workings and
rapidly elegging TO the point of denial
of justice, through unjustifiable delay
in the conclusion of litigation.
1.-THE judiciary amendments were
framed with a view to the continued
administrator under separate judges
of legal and equitable remedies, as
heretofore, with an independent court
of review, and to secure the OF
the business of trial and appellate
courts by skilled judges sufficient In
number to promptly dispose of cases
without unreasonable delay and with
out unnecessary and ~burdensome dupii-
cation of appeals. believed. as a
member of the commission, that the
plan embodied in the amendments
would accomplish the desired result,
and the long discussion since the re-
port of the commission. while the
amendments have been before two
Legislatures and the people, has not
shaken my confidence in this view

that representatives of practically all
of the bidders were before the engi-
neers last week, and made efforts 20
head off the recommendation for the
hill site, in order not to be forced 10
submit a new bid. The engineers,
however. did not-yield to the sugges-
lions of the bidders, who wanted to
have plans executed which wouiu, in
the opinion of the engineers, not be
for the best interests of the city.
This is good sign. and gives much
satisfaction to the public.
