The Judiciary

We are mindful of the current criticism
of our state judicial system, addressed
primarily to the growing expense Of adj
ministerng Justice, both civil and crmi-
nal. There *, furthermore, a growing
sentiment in favor of a simpliGcation Of
court procedure, and the establishment
of a state system Of inferior courts that
will relieve the congestion in the county
courts and lessen the expense of litigation
both to the state and the litgants
This is a matter that should he taken
under serious consideration by the next
general assembly. 1t should be dealt with
in a spirit of non-partisan devotion to the
most vital interests of the state, and with
due delberatlon, having in mind the ex-
treme importance to every citizen of a
judicial system 50 organized as to enable
it to serve the ends Of Justice both Elf
GENTLY and economically.
We take this occasion to express ouI
confidence in the high character, the abil
ity and the integrity of the justices OF
our supreme court and our superior
| Judges They are amply maintaining the
| high reputation of the courts of Vermont
for breadth of learning and incorruptibl,

After celebrating a little more than
two hours the jury in the case OF the

kopoms yesterday afternoon shortly
after 3 o'clock returned a verdict
granting the defendant $4,000 dam

OF the division point.
The verdict was one satisfactory 90
tn, Plaintiff inasmuch as at one time

,anl or n total OF s5250. The de-
fen6ant held out for considerably
more than that amount. alleging dam
ages 10 the balance OF his land by
reason OF the appropriating OF the
IL acres.
This removes the last obstacle IN
the way OF securing sufficient land

fendant Il has not been decideu

WILL DEFEND OREGON PLAN
IN LETTER TO GRANGE NOMI-
NEE SAYS HE WILL WATCH

In striking contract with the atti-
tude OF his opponent, DR.. Witty
combe. DIR. C. J. Smith is supporting
the direct primary law and the Ore
gon system in general as a part Of
his campaign for governor.
In response TO a letter from the
Oregon state grange. DR.. Smith has
made his position known in the fol-
lowing emphatic manner:
II have your recent favor addressed
to me in the form of an open letter
and return my answer herewith in
the same form.
Firmly believing In popular gov
ernment. have in the past given of
my time and means and services, in
both public and private capacity, to
establish and maintain the oregon
system. II has freed the people. and
the clock must never turn back.
"As governor. I will uphold the
system and will permit of no tamper-
ing by unfriendly hands The peoples
laws and the peoples will are su-
preme with me, and 1 will veto any
bill which seeks to override them.
"The emergency clause should be
used only guardedly. AS you say In
your letter, hostile legislature work
ing under harmony program
with the governor could, by frequent
use of the emergency clause. virtually
destroy the referendum. The clause
could also be used, as has been oft
times done in the past as Q cloak by
which legislative extravaganza might
be shielded from popular disfavor.
81 will veto any measure carrying
the clause, which is not in truth and
in fact an emergency measure.
"Very truly yours,

AUTO STREET CARS ARE
NOW IN OPERATION HERE
PENDLETON FIRST CITY IN THE
NORTHWEST TO ADOPT
THIS SYSTEM.

For the first time in her history.
Pendleton has street cars in opera
ton en- schedule on her streets and
further, is able to claim the distinc-
tion of heing the first city in the
northwest, if not in the entire west,
to have autOstreet cars.
At $50 this morning the two big
gasoline-propelled cars recently re-
ceived by G. F. Parker. looking very
much like the ordinary electric cars,
began a new era in Pendleton traf-
fic. A schedule having Deen worked
out, the cars started to make their
rounds regardless of whether or not
there were passengers in them.
Coming down the streets. changing
their bells, they gave a very metro
politan effect to the city.
Mr.. Parker announced today that
instead OF the 80 and Is minute
schedule announced yesterday the
cars will follow an hour and a half
hour schedule owing to the fact it will
be impossible to follow the original
plan.
The half hour schedule will be from
East Court street. Cars will leave
Summer street above the st. An
thongs hospital on the hour and the
half hour. Cars will leave the west
eni of Webb street on the half hour
and Walters mill on the hour. The
cars will connect at Main and Alta
so that passengers may transfer from
one car to another if they desire, at
no extra cost.
This afternoon the car service Is
proving Of convenience to women
shoppers. 1t is noticeable that women
living in the eastern and western
portions of town and far out on the
north side ere taking advantage of the
cars to save themselves long walks.

When the suit of James Johns VS..
the City of Pendleton was decided in
favor of the plaintiff by the su-
preme court on the grounds that
there was an error in description of
the district. which error consisted in
the mistaking of the letter for s,
some half dozen or more property
owners in the district, claimed ex-
emption from payment under the de-
cision. subsequently the voters of
Pendleton adopted an amendment
providing for a reassessment in such
cases and the amendment Is held by
the council to be retroactive. Wheth-
er or not this phase of It will be test

certainty at this time.
