MAKES new RULE
FOR CONDUCT OF
COURT BUSINESS
Judge R. w. Olmsted Announces
From Bench Innovation in
Handling Instructions.
TO BE SUBMITTED EARLIER
viii Preeede Arguments Instead Of
Following Thcm-State Bar
Makes Recommendation.

New rules for the conduct of bust
ness in the circuit court were advanc-
ed this morning by Judge r. W. Ohm
sted. Judge Olmsted read a letter
from the Illinois Bar association rela-
tive 10 the movement now on foot TO
expedite legal work as it pertains to
the giving of instructions. The court
said that he heartily approved of the
recommendation, which provided that
upon the conclusion of the evidence
and before the arguments of counsel,
instructions shall be submitted to the
trial Judge. in order that he may care
fully consider them and consult with
the counsel about them. The present
practice has been TO withhold the in.
struCtions until after the arguments
have been concluded. This has prov
. en- unsatisfactory for the reason the
/ court is compelled to pass on intri
cate and difficult legal points in a hur
/ ~. II is thought by following the
practice adopted in some other states
that this can be largely obviated by
submitting the instructions earlier
OTHER judges FAVOR.
Judge Olmsted stated that he had
conferred both with Judge Ramsay
and Graves and both were in favor Of
the change. The attention of the o.
der was called to the fact that at G
recent meeting Of the Rock ISLAND
County Bar association a number Of
innovations, including the instruction
matter, were considered, and that {
meeting of the association had beef
called for next Monday at o'clock a
which time the bar would take actor
on tho matter. 1t was thought tn
court might want TO add the other re
forms to the rules here. The cour
said that it would be glad 70 hear thu
recommendation of the bar but tina
GotwithstandiDg an adverse action b.
The bar on the instruction rule, i
would be put into effect at once p
he believed il was much needed.
NV RULE.
Tho nov rule relative to the in
s:ructions follows:
Each party shall. upon the concl-
sion OF their case tried by jury, an
before the beginning of the arg
, ments, submit 70 the trial judge tn
instructions he intends to ask tn
court TO give to the Jury. and shall 4
the same time deliver copy therec

Quested by the other party. and to r

party to the instructions requested

Counsel will be expected, as of
i GERS Of the court. in good faith, to a
sist the trial judge in settling the i
g struc;ions before the beginning

The spirit of this rule shall. as
nearly as may be, apply to additional

rendered by counsel and to instruc-
tons which the court may modify"

ORGANIZED MARKETING

One paragraph in the resolutions
adopted by the state meeting OF the
Farmers Union says:
I'VE declare that marketing Is OF
paramount importance in farming
and the keynote to agricultural pros
perity. We are opposed to any re-
taxation of effort on the part of gov
eminent in prompting practical
science In production and on the
other hand, favor more vigorous 40
ton on the part of all agencies to
improve agriculture methods and we
pledge the cooperation of the Union
to that end But II the Government
Is now assisting agriculture to the
extent of its financial ability, we ia
;or transfer of portion of the APP
preparation from production to mar
keting II is our belief that out of
every dollar appropriated by Federal
and State Governments, donated by
individuals, corporations or organiza-
lions. at least fifty per cent should
be spent in improving marketing con
ditions, and we recommend that all
agricultural appropriations be made
upon this basis"

A great many farmers are of the

that the crop is nearly or quite as

WILL STATE SCHOOLS
BE SADLY CRIPPLEDP

II was probably well enough for
Gov. Colquitt to chop out something
over 100000 from the legislative
appropriation, otherwise our taxes
would have been still higher and 1t
is probable that he used proper judg
ment in the cutting down process but
II is very unfortunate that the Uni
versity and Che A. & NJ. College had
to suffer the loss of half of their
parts OF the budget. The friends of
the recently proposed bond amend
ment worked over time to show the
dire need of funds for these institu-
tions and intimated that unless re-
lief came to them they would be
handicapped almost to the point of
ruin. Now, the governor has felt call
ed upon TO veto the amounts allowed
for their second year. On this ac-
count no new departments can be put
I'm and the schools will be over taxed
for room and possibly some of their
present facilities may have to be a.
bandoned.
The Governor says he can issue
deficiency warrants If It becomes
necessary and the chances are that Il
may have TO be done.
II is to be regretted that the al
lowances for the various asylums
must be cut short II is hoped that
some means can be found to stop
what Senator Willacy calls near

levied upon the people will be enough

Governor Colqultt has had moth
ing but criticism for his predecessor
claiming that he inherited Indebted
ness from the Campbell administra-
ton, and that the state institutions
we're all run down and in need OF
heavy appropriations TO provide for
necessary buildings, etc, but IL is
a fact that the state institutions were
in as good condition at the close OF
Campbells administration as he
found them when he went into Of
flee. and statement submitted by
Governor Campbell when he went cut
OF office showed the state TO be in
good financial condition. Campbell
doubtless had his faults as well as
other people, but he gave the state a
very good average administration
