D0CKETS

PROPOSED AMENDMENT FOR AD.
OPTIONAL JUDGE HAS STRONG
SUPPORT.
Western Newsnsner Union News Service.

Western Newsnsner Union News Service.
Monroe.-The proposed amendment
for an additional Judge for Caddo par.
ish, and the need of the additional
official was never more greatly felt
than at the present time, when the
dockets OF both civil and criminal sec.
lions OF the Caddo parish district
court are congested to such an ex-
tent that many matters of Importance,
which should receive immediate de.
lay. Discussing the matter, Sena.
tor Smith said:
Il earnestly hope that the people
will unanimously support the addi
tfonal judgeship amendment. The
court records of Caddo parish show
there r some four thousand cases
pending, both civil and criminal.
1.-The courts should be open for a
speedy trial Of pending cases, particu-
larly is this so with the criminal
docket.
Judges Bell and Land have more
work to do than any other judges in
the state. A court overcrowded with
criminal cases works a great injus.
tice to persons charged with crime,
and, lastly, the state suffers, for de-
lays add to the difficulties in convict.
Ing those guilty of ~offenses. With
delays on the side of the criminal, the
chances of the witnesses scattering or
disappearing is great, and, too, when
important cases are carried over, the
delay always works against the state.
I believe the additional judges pro-
vided for in amendment No. Is, to be
voted for the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der, are sorely needed, and that the
ends Of justice call upon the people Of
the state to vote this necessary re.
lief.

recognition OF the voters OF LoAisi.

has shown a greater percentage Of In.
crease in her assessment than any
other parish in the state.
again, the Caddo oil field pours
funds into the conservation tax fund.
which enables the conservation com.
mission to conserve the natural re-
sources Of the state In a way that
every man, woman and child in Lou

work.
Shreveport is now a city Of over
10000 people, and its progressive pop.
