The judicial commission has now
about completed its labors. But the full
fillment OF the purpose for which it
was created is contingent upon the leg
islature, as the most efficient remedies
for the evils in the judicial system can
be provided only by new statutory
enactments. Whether or not the legis-
lature will accept all the recommended
tions of the Judicial commission is en-
tirely problematical, but it is certain
that it will act favoraby upon most of
them. Here is one of the reforms
sought accomplished:
Under the present system of appeal
Ing criminal cases in Alabama, year

and be tried few weeks thereafter.

Is in recess the case has to wait until
the court again resumes work and then
has to wait until the call of the de-
fendant's division, or If the court is
in session and the defendants divi-
sion has been passed, 1t has to wait
until the division is again called, proba-
bly, necessitating delay of many
months longer. Should the case be re-
versed because of technical errors it
is sent back to the trial court. reheard
elapse before 1t is ready for second
appeal-the cat all the time chasing its
tail around a circle.
Numerous recommendations have
been made looking to a correction of
this evil The most popular sugges-
tion probable and the one which the
legislature will most likely adopt has
been made by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral William l.. Martin, who has rec
commended that 40 days be allowed the
defendant in which to file his bill of
exceptions; that 20 days be allowed the
trial judge in which to sign it, and
that the case be submitted to the an
pellate court during the call of any
division.
The above evil is but one of many
which exist in the judicial system of
the state. the correction of which is
dependent upon the legislative BODY.

in that period the wounds of time are

This may be a slight exaggeration,
but not much. And because of this
tanning of sentiment the courts of Ala
bama are going to save themselves.
The worm has turned Appalled, at a
criminal record that has placed Ala
bama we'll in the front of nearly all
the other states in the union and weary
of the inefficient operation of an anti
quated and Inadequate system of civil
and criminal procedure, the people de-
manded reform. The awakening had
come.
Gov. Emmett ONeal was quick to seize
his opportunity. Always an advocate
of judicial reform. yet believing with
all his heart in the independence of the
judiciary, he saw in the popular out
cry against the courts a movement
which threatened the constitutional
doctrines upon which they were estab-
lished, If certain reforms were not in
stituted
In order to meet this popular de-
mand Governor ONeal late in the spring
of 1912 appohted a committee of 30
of the most prominent lawyers In the
of the system. To this commission was
delegated the authority to suggest
needed legislation, prepare statutes and
revise the civil and criminal procedure
of the courts. This commission was en-
dowed with powers similar to those
commissions provided for by acts of the
legislatures of Georgia and Florida in
which states those commissions are
still at work.,
As chairman of the judicial commits
sion, Governor O'Neal appointed Chief
Justice James r. Dowdell of the su-
preme court. Chief Justice Dowdell
declined to serve and the commission
elected as it's chairman Justice John
Pelham of the court of appeals But

judicial methods may be simplified;
that legal costs of the appeals of
contests of rights may be reduced
by eliminating useless matter from
records in the appellate courts; that
more adequate means for all of the
members of the supreme court to
Investigate each appeal before an
opinion is written may be afforded.
and that reyersals of judgments
upon errors that do not prejudice
the substantial rights of the par
ties or the merits of the cause may
be fairly averted."
The text of the letter was plain and
touched on the most palpable evils in
the states judicial system. Recognition
was taken by the court of the need OF
judicial methods or elimin-
ating useless matter from records in
the appellate courts, of employing more
adequate means for. the examination OF
appeals. the abolition of the "one- Judge
decision" system. and of adopting a
course whereby reversals on technical
error might be averted.
Chief Justice Dowdell. although a
strict conservative, and having refused
to serve as chairman of the governors
judicial commission, gave a ready con-
