URGES A recall FOR
ALL Federal JUDGES
SENATOR OMEN INTRODUCES
BILL HAVING THAT END
IN NIIM.

b9 Ahhh'lhlfN lltN7.
Washington. July 31.-Critlclsm NJ
the United States Supreme Court was
marked in an address by Senator Rob-
crt L. owen OF Oklahoma in utroluc-
ing his bill for the recall Of Federal
Judges
The bill provides that any Justice
of the United States Supreme Court,
or any Judge OF any United States
court shall be subject to rIcall 10y res
olution OF Congress- that all district
and circuit judges Of the United States
shall be elected by the voters of the
district or circuit; and that their ten
ure of office shall be four years.
Answering the contention Of op-
ponents of the recall of judges tYat
the electorate would not be so con-
servatiye in the exercise Of the power
of recall as would the National Legis-
lature or the state Legislature, Sena-
tor owen said that the e. torate OF
the Amearican states is abundantly
conservative. and move more slowly
than It's progressive representatives
would move. The people he main
tains, have been accustomed to give
the benefit OF the doubt to anyone as
sailed and when in doubt they viii
always vote no.
Never in the ten years that the
recall has been used in Oregon" said
the speaker, "have the people availed
themselves against a judge, although
there is one case pending there now
which undoubtedly will be decided by
the people"
The rcactIonary argument that the
people We're turbU mt, wild and VS.
ionary, was hailed by Senator owens
with contempt as coming from men
who hold their honors, dignitarles
and salaries from the same people.
Stress was laid upon the popular sem
timent that senators should be elected
direct by the people.
"If the power Of recall exists" said
Senator owen, "the conduct Of Judges
win be so exemplary; so satifactory
to the people OF tho United states
that no recall Of any Federal Judge
will ever be necessary.

sued by Federal Judge Camrbell to-
night in favor OF the Southwestern
Liquor Company of Joplin, Mo. The
liquor company filed a petition two
weeks ago to enjoin officers in the
above named counties and cities from
selling liquor shipped into Oklahoma
on the grounds that the transfer COM
panles were common carriers. Judge
Campbell held transfer companies
common carriers, and that shipments
to corporations, companies, partners,
or collection of individuals, should
enjoy the same immunity as where
shipped to a single individual.

Judge DeGraffenrold held that the
office Of superior clerk was created

office, and the Legislature had the
legal right to raise or decrease the
