new PLAN FOR KANSAS COURTS
LAWYERS PROPOSE CHANGE IN
REGULATIONS.
Judge Suggests Larger Districts and
Division Of Work 70 hastsn
Cases to Trial.

Topeka. Sept. 25.-The Kansas Bal
association and the lawyers Of the
state have taken hold Of the proposed
change In the Kansas court regula
tons so that the work Of the district
judges will be more evenly dis
tributed.
Kansas attorneys have been trying
several years to work out some plan
by which this could be done without
a constitutional amendment. Judge J.
G. Ruppenthal Of wakeeney, one OF
the district judges who would be
affected. has just worked out the plan
BY which this may be done.
A Judge In Kansas cannot be moved
from the district In which he was
elected. There are many judicial dis.
tricts where the Judge does not work
IN average Of two weeks Of EACH month
while many others hold court Ave days
a week. every week In the year. and
'hen are behind with their dockets.
Judge Ruppenthal believes the solu.
ton OF the trouble is In creating larger
districts with two judges In each dis.
trict and giving the supreme court au.
'hority to assign the work Of each
Judge.
That would obviate one Of the ser.
ious criticisms Of the court procedure
at the present time. the long delays
in getting a case to trial In some sec.
lions OF the state. II is believed thu
districts could be arranged so that the
Judges would he kept busy throughout
the state for AT least ten months Of the
year and that no litigation would be
'elayed as much an now appears In
many counties.
