MANICIPAL COURT OF
 CHICAGO AS MODEL

J. Quincy Smith favors the establish ment of county court of minor 1uris- diction, based on the plans of tho mu- nicipal court of Chicago, where an of fender charged with an offense other than that of a felony or capital crime could be tried and sentenced the day the offense is committed, and a civil suit brought and reduced to judgment in a few days Mir Smith said: ITO my mind, the municipal court of Chi eago Is the ideal plan of dealing with minor offenses and civil suits. It is the application of business methods to system of administering justice. It guarantees to the inhabitants of the second largest city In the Union that swift justice, the lack of which under Alabama laws constitutes a reproach to our institutions.
 'The Chicago court consists of a chief justice and 27 associate justices It was primarily constituted to supplant the justice of the peace system. but ow- ing to the overcrowded dockets of the state and county courts was given ex- tensive Jurisdiction in both civil and criminal cases in order to facilitate the dispatch of legal business.
 AS a noted writer has said, The Chicago municipal court is, in fact. an institution of justice organized on mod ern business lines. where no man wants for work to do, while work waits for men to do it. It has authority to make its own rules of practice and procedure It has accomplished the reform of ob- selete methods by the simple practice success, having been In operation three
