 Duties of the Courts
 One of the principal recommends tions made by President Stevens was that the courts should control practice and procedure rather the legislative branch of the government "Ques- tions of procedure and practice, as dis tinguished from questions of substan- tive right naturally belong to the 1u- dicial, rather than to the legislative branch of the government but an ex- animation of our statutes will show that the legislature has bound all of the courts within very narrow limits and that none of them have the power to control in a substantial way the practice or procedure In actions at law. Questions of procedure and practice are peculiarly within the expert Knowledge of the judges and more or less confusing to the average legisla- tor The Judges are continually work Ing upon and considering matters in which the rules of procedure and prac- tice are involved. while the legisla- ture Is in session for brief periods only and all questions must necessarily be viewed hurriedly and largely in the abstract and no legislature can bring to bear upon the subject that active actual experience and long, careful study which Is an incident to the courts daily labors." said MT. Ste vens
 President Stevens further suggested the need of reorganizing the nisi prius courts, declaring that they mo longer present anything resembling a logical arrange ment or orderly system and the work

Ala. Governor Endorses
Gov. SlatOn's Position
Special to The Leader Enterprise.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 5.-The
position taken by Governor John
M. Slaton regarding the right of
the state to prohibit by drastic
laws the production of cotton or
other crops is upheld by the state
OF Alabama as voiced by the at
torney general, who holds with
Governor Slaton that such a
movement would be unconstitu-
tional and uncalled for.
Governor Emmett O'Neal of
Alabama has written the Geor-
gia executive a letter compli-
menting him highly for his stand
on this question.
Your address to the people Of
Georgia was the most logical and
statesmanlike presentation of the
issue that has been made" wrote
the Alabama governor. Il con-
graduate you most sincerely in
securing the aid for the farmers
in your state which Mr.. Asa G.
Gamblers cotton loan plan offer
3D."
Governor O'Neal said he had
written to each member of the
Alabama legislature asking their
views on cotton reduction laws
and nearly every reply was
against a special session for such
a purpose.
