TAI 7 APPEALS
FOR REFORM IN
LAW PRACTICE
Tells House judiciary Com
mittee Lawyers Are Practi-
cally a Unit in Favoring
Simple Rules in Courts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-An ap-
peal for simplificatiop OF court pro
cedure to facilitate the administrator
of Justice was made TO the house lu'
dietary committee today by delega-
ton of noted lawyers headed by former
President Taft.
Speaking as president Of the Amer
can Bar association, Mr., Taft said law
vers practically were a unit in Dellev"
ing simple rules Of practice should gov
ern in all courts, federal and state,
and he urged passage Of pending olli
introduced by Representative Clayton,
chairman of the committee.
The Clayton bill would empower the
supreme court Of the United States TO
Law down rules for the conduct of com
mon law practice in federal district
courts, as it has already done in equity
procedure. The procedure of states
where these courts are located now
governs them and it was pointed out
today that usages and rules of pro,
cedure built up by the legislature or
the states have obscured the purpose
of law IN intricate mazes Of technlcal
ties that have served particularly to
protect men of wealth from prosecu-
ton.
Mr., Taft said to the committee that
there was nothing in the constitution
TO prevent administration of justice III
the United States with the same DIS
patch that marked English court busi-
ness.

During the discussion the former
president departed from specific con

with the popular outcry against, the
judiciary as il is now constituted. he
believed, he said, that the federal court

liberty, and that appointment for life
was fundamental in maintaining that
system, but he admitted that defects

Madison.-Gov. Francis Il. Mccoy.

The governor in the statement points

says further:
FOR years / have advocated down
ward revision of the tariff: but do
not approve the present law. Alike in
the manner in which it was enacted.
It's failure to reduce the cost Of living
and its harmful effect upon industry
and agriculture in Wisconsin, il seems
to me to be fairly open to serious
criticism. Unlike it's authors, / be,
lieve in a protective tariff, one that,
while disoouraging monopoly, will
safeguard the interests of American
producers and consumers by means OF
import duties accurately and honestly
adjusted to cover the difference in the
cost of production here and abroad,
and so tend to equali2e conditions of
competition between this country and
other nations. Had the recent revision
been in conformity with these princi-
pies and had II been based upon In

Dor would not lack employment as 1t
does today, the price of farm produce
would not have declined. nor would
the tide of industry here and every
where in the country be at its present
low ebb.
Il favor a reorganization of present
methods of distribution. especially of
food products. How to increase pros
perity on the farm, to reduce the cost
of living and to eliminate trust abuses
are not three problems, but one. Prop
er regulation of markets so as to
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable spectators
to the people themselves will go a
long way toward a just and satisfac
tory solution. BY this means the price
OF farm products may be increased
the cost of living reduced and the
business of the retail dealer improved

Queer, the United States Steel cor

Baraboo field of Wisconsin. Its mine
at North Freedom is being disman-
tied. With the pumps and the other
machinery removed, the property
will be abandoned. 1t is at this mine
that the last operations in the field
were conducted. Other tracts tested
had previously fallen by the wayside.
A few years ago it appeared prob
able the Baraboo country would vie
with some of the districts of the Lake
Superior region as a source of iron
supply. Exploration with the diamond
drill had shown the existence of ore,
and it was surmised that with shafts
put down and lateral development
undertaken the deposits would be
found satisfactory in qauntity and
quality. The entry of the stee! cor.
poration was hailed as an event OF
great significance. But the district
has not come up to expectations. Not
only is the ore literally mixed with
rock, but water is present in such
abundance as to make operations de-
cidely expensive.

The plan of the board is to put the

Each company will contain about thir-

ing aspects of the work and the fore
man to have general direction of the
men.
President Smith said the mems rec
ords would be taken into considera-
ton and their general disposition as
revealed to the prison authorities He
said that the plan is experimental and
that If it is as successful as the board
expects, the employment of prisoners
will be extended. The incentive for
the prisoner will be an added wage
and the hope that faithful service may
modify the sentence.
The board rejected all bids offered
for the building of the school at the
