URGE VOTERS To
END ]. P. COURTS
Members of Bar Association
Appeal for Adjustment of
Minor Tribunals.

The Atlanta bar today issued an ap-
peal to the voters of Georgia, urging
reasons why the amendment to abolish
the present justice courts system in
large cities should be ratified at the
polls tomorrow. Here it is:
The most important measure before
the voters of Georgia tomorrow is the
ratification of the justice court amend
ment. The candidates for state offices
have been determined. Their election
is mere formality. But the system of
courts for the larger cities to be de-
cided upon tomorrow will be that UNI
DIRE which the people of those cities will
be governed for the next decade
IF the voters are Indifferent or Il
they are satisfied with present condi-
tons, and if they fail by their votes to
ratify the constitutional amendment
giving the legislature the right to es-
tablish other courts in lieu of Justice
courts in the large cities. then the peo-
pie for the next ten years may count
upon continuation Of the gross abuses
which have been condemned by almost
every element of our civic body.
Would End Many Evils.
But if, IS we believe. the people are
dissatisfied with the present system
and if they register that dissatisfac-
ton at the polls by ratification of
| this amendment then we can count
| upon the establishment by the legisla-
ture of a system of municipal courts
In such of the large cities as desire the
same, particularly In Atlanta. that will
wipe out most of the evils, put the
| judges and constable on salary ba-
| sis. guarantee speedier trials and the
| administration of justice to all-that
| justice which Is now denied to rich
and poor alike under the present sys-
tenn of eXtortion and corruption.
Therefore, we ask you to go to the
polls and vote for the ratification OF
this amendment. Let us take a step
/ forward and wipe out rather than per-
petuate an iniquitous system. The
smaller towns are with us because they
are neither afflicted by the disease nor
affected by our remedy. Remember
that this amendment is Endorsed by the
Georgia Federation of Labor, Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, grand juries
of Fulton county, the Atlanta bar, the
Atlanta press and the public generally"
