truth or falsity % various eharu-s
preferred against the said Aston
G. Dayton by the persons afore-
said. Some % said charges being
as follows:
The Charges
That he has Issued InhIno-
tons against labor unions which
place them beyond the pale OF the
law and which makes their delib-
erstive actions conspiracy and
their members nisereants and
feions; that he has had men and
women arrested upon the sole
charge Of asking others 70 Ioln a
labor union; that he. by the use
Of Injunction, has prevented and
inhibited the exercise Of the consti.
tuuonal right OF the people 20 as
semble peScesbly 70 petition for
redress Of wrongs: that he, under
prosecution OF Contempt proceed
inss, recently found one MAYER
schwartz guilty Of contempt OF
court and sentenced him 10 serve
sixty days In jail for the sole rea-
son that said Schwartz rented and
leased his property 20 one James
Oates; that he has publicly de-
elared his sntagnoism TO persons
not yet on trial. when he expected
them soon 20 be tried before him;
that he, In the hearing Of con-
tempt proceedings, Ignores the
laws % the state Of West Vircinia
and the constitution Of the United
States and refuses 20 follow or be
bound by the decisions Of the su-
prene court Of the United States
and treats said decisions with con-
tempt; that his decisions have
been such as 20 result In their
reversal when carried TO a hiqher
court but that such appeals are
so costly as 20 be prohibitive 70
some and that this puts a price
upon Justice which keeps IL out
Of the reach OF poor people and
that his decisions, comments and
attitude generally prove him so
constitutlonally prejudlced as 20
unit him TO act as a Judge, a POSI-
ton which requires In an unusual
degree the qualities OF fairness,
ealmness, sympathy and reasoning.
Therefore be u resolved, that the
committee on judiciary OF the
House be and Il Is hereby author
ICED and directed 20 Inquire into
and thoroughly investigate the
Judicial conduct Of the said Aston
G. Dayton and for such purpose,
such committee shall have power
10 send for such persons and pa
pers and administer such oaths as
u may deem proper. and shall
have the right 20 report az any
time. The expense Of said inquiry
and investigation shall be paid out
Of the contingent fund Of the
House."

WOULD ABOLISH ISL ALL
WASHINGTON COURTS

Spokane Wash. Jan. 28.-Prcsiding
Judge w. A. Huneke Of the SPOKANE
county superior court has announced
himself champion Of g plan to abolish
supreme. superior and justice courts In
the state of washington. substituting one
universal court divided into departments
to handle appeals and criminal and juyc-
nile cases. i. ,i j.
Judge Huneke favors appointing n.
stead, Of ,electing judges, and lie would
have a comparatively easy method OF
preferring charges against them in
cases Of delinquency. He explains his
plan as follows: ~
THE man who has $50 involved. in q
litigation ought, to have the. same right
to aiplptat before, a competent Judge as
one who has $4,000. at issue. If any.
thing. lie needs more that right becadse
the minor citizen is the one who can
least bear the application of mistaken
Justice The man. who -has 20. days-af lib,
erty to lose, II convicted of q mtsde.
meanor charge, should have the same
right to q capable Interpretation OF the
law as one who stands liable to spend
a score of years in the penitentiary.
..The justice courts that pass on these
matters should be abolished. 1t is an
open secret that many Justices Of the
peace, passing on these minor cases now
ar nowhere near competent, and yet the
necessity Of getting justice In these seem
ingly smaller cases ullqu~cstiOnably
touches u far larger proportion OF the
people than does that necessity in ths
higher courts. &4
"Of course, having established this
ideal universal court. 1t should be- divide
ed up into. departments. but the Judges
should be interchangeable. The routine
Of assigning its members to duty. and
controlling them should be In the hands
Of some official. the attorney general,
say, Or q special commission. This sys.
tenn would: greatly reduce the number Of
