SUGGESTS FEWER
CIRCUIT COURTS
Harry E. Lockwood Tells Lawyers
Club State Should Be Redistricted
and Number of Judges Cut Down.

Judge Harry Z. Lockwood, speak
ing before the members OF the Law
yers club, OF Detroit, on the ques-
ton. Necessary reforms in the cir
cult courts OF Michigan" at dinner
in the Penobscot Inn, Saturday noon,
made a plea for fewer circuit court
judges and an enlargement OF the
present districts.
Steps should. be taken for the recir-
cutting OF the whole state, he argued.
The present 80 circuits, over which
49 judges preside, should be cut down
TO five large districts. each OF which
should have six judges, 80 in all. AT
the present time the system Is not
arranged in a manner TO give justice
to all, he said. For instance, there
were circuits with only one judge
for more than 10000 population,
while other districts OF less than So
900 population had two judges.
Judge Lockwood contended that
the recircuiting of the state, making
only Ave districts, would be a bene-
At to the entire citizenship of Michi.
gan. The expense would be materi-
ally cut down, he contended, and
there would be less confusion and
more efficiency In connection with
the office. He also suggested that
the 80 judges rotate in conducting the
courts, each one officiating in the diff
ferent circuits. In this way, the
judges would be able TO do better
work, by getting away from their
neighbors and friends once in a
while. The proposed new system
would also help TO remove the ONCE
from local politics, inasmuch as the
judges would be elected by the whole
circuit, including several counties,
which they represented, instead Of
one county, as at present.
The custom of some circuit judges
receiving extra fees from boards OF
supervisors, in addition to the salar'
les paid by the counties, was bad.
Judge Lockwood declared. He said
that they should not be responsible
to any local boards for any part OF
their salaries, nor be hampered by
the thought that their conduct on the
bench might cause liberality or the
reverse by the local boards of super
visors The judges were really state
officers and should be paid by the
state. Judge Lockwood thought that
they should be paid at the rate OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
The Judge was in hopes that the
next state legislature would take ac-
ton looking towards the reorganiza-
ton of the judicial circuits on the
basis suggested by himself. He was
oura the NOVA would he In the in
terest OF all parties concerned, especi-
ally the public. Better candidates
would be secured and the office would
have more dignity and respect than
II now enjoys, he said.
