and, before q lawyer can ever
make an intelligent guess as to
what the rule Of damage is, he
has to spend days-perhaps
weeks-studying court decisions
in other states and back a hun
bred years into the history Of Eng
land. Ten lines Of the statutes
would make it certain-it ought
to be certain.
Every man in the state is 60
ing to die sooner or later, hence
he and his wife and children are
interested in the probate laws.
Our system of probating estates
was old-fashioned fifty years ago.
It is so long and involved that It
is expensive to the parties, and
the lawyer has to do two hundred
dollars worth Of work to get q
hundred dollar fee. This law will
be changed in the. coming session.
A commission, appointed by au-
thority of the last Legislature,
has been working for two years,
at an expense Of thousands Of dol
lars, to simplify it, and will rec
ommend reforms to the Legisla-
ture. II these recommendations
embody the best that can be. had,
they ought to be enacted into
law. II they are not the best, they
ought to be made the best and
then enacted into law. I do not
know what these recommends
tions will be, but do know what
changes are needed.
Our procedure in the District
and Supreme Courts is also too
long and cumbersome. 1t makes
too much expense for the parties
and too much work for the law
yers; and, by dragging cases out,
makes too much expense for the
public. There is a crying demand
for q change. There will be
changes made at the coming ses-
sion, no matter who is there, but
changes are not enough. They
must be intelligent changes. It
will be as easy to make matters
worse as to make them better.
There must be men on the job
who know what needs to be
changed and what should be left
as it is, and what kind Of changes
will do good and what will be
harmful.
To answer the question, then,
why I am a candidate, I want to
be in the legislature to bring a.
bout the making Of some laws
suited to this state, at this time,
to take the place Of a lot fitted to
Massachusetts and England two
hundred years ago; some that will
have more application to farms
and less to mines and steam
boats.
As a lawyer, can use any kind
of law any Legislature can make;
but, as q citizen and q large own
er Of farm property, I want laws
suited to the kind of country I
live in.
To attend the session will cost
me at least q thousand dollars in
the way Of loss of time. If I can
accomplish what I want to, it will
be worth it to me. Will it be
worth anything to you?
Very truly yours,
A. g. DIVET.
