SPEEDY DECISIONS SOUGHT.

The general desire for the speedy
! action of courts in cases brought he
! ioro them is Nation wide. President
Taft has voiced this desire. and as he
is an eminent iuriSt himself. his criti.
cism is that Of friend to he judicial
system OF this country, as indeed ev-
cryone is who is good citizen; for
without the public and general sup.
| port of the courts. our judicial sYs
lem would break down II has. in
fact, come pcrilouslv near in doing
this ~ times merely Of lis own
weight. a when the court calendars
become so clocged that progress is
practically impossible, and judgments
are withheld for months and even for
years
1t appears that we have In Utah,
however, a law that is TO a certain ex-
tent corrective OF undue DELAYS, and
under that law the Supreme Court Of
this State has issued an alternative
writ Of mandamus against a Judge TO
quiring him TO render a decision which
1t is claimed he has withheld beyond
the legal limit. The hearing on this
mandamus is 10 be on Saturday next,
and the developments may prove in
tercstlng. II IL is true that we have
In this State Il statute requiring Judges
to render their Judgment within thirty
days after the final hearing, as the
claim is, and If this is construed to
be direct and mandatory statute, rem.
edies, though somewhat roundabout and
expensive, are clearly available under
the statutes OF our State for undue
delay in the courts.
At the same time, il must be ad.
mitted that the existence of such a
statute as this has been practically for.
gotten, not only by the bar and the
public, but by the courts. If, indeed.
1t is clear case that district Judges
are required TO render their decisions
within thirty DAYS from the time OF
the final submission OF the case, then
there ought to be in Utah less reason
for complaint with respect to DELAYS
in the final judgments Of the district
courts than in States which lack such
a statute as this. But doubtless tho
whole matter will be sifted TO the bot
tom in the hearing to be had on Sat.
urday next, and then we shall all
have better understanding Of what
the legal status is of court delays in
this state. If the statute is found to
be direct and mandatory. there will be
no excuse for district Judges who un-
duly delay their decisions hereafter.
But if it is not so found. if some tech.
nlcai or trivial excuse may exempt q |
district Judge from the requirement
that he must render his decision within
thirty days after the final submission
of the case, then we shall be all at |
sea again just the same as before, with |
the same old interminable delays to
face

Frank rerrandini, one OF the astute
local politicians stated last night IN u
after carefully canvassing the ned
he was satisfied that Montague woufi

Jack Pettus, an equally as enc
