cd il the road did as much passenger
business now as it did two or three
years ago He said it did not, so faf
as he was able to judge, which was
by his train. Then Commissioner
Watson asked li.n if the road could
dispense with the train auditor and
thereby cut down that extra expense.
The conductor said there was no need
of an auditor on his train
The railroads have inaugurated a
campaign for the reinstatement Of
the Scent passenger fare, claiming
the 2-cent fare is not remuneratiye
enough. The questions asked con-
cerning the train auditor went to
show that the roads were not at
tempting to do away with the cm-
pense of the train auditor although
one conductor at least said that the
auditor was not a necessity, so far
as his train was concerned.

The section OF the message by

this feature of the law is as follows;
Every state agency with a few
exceptions should be made at least
partially self-sustaining. The courts
which are a necessary agency for the
peaceable settlement of civil contro-
gersies. and essential for good gov
ernment, should not be supported
entirely by the taxpayers. The liti-
gants in civil cases should at least
bear part of these burdens. There

feature of the argument The SEN
ate reached section in the bill that
was inserted at the special requesD
Of Governor Williams, and without
which he has said he will hasistAte
to sign the bill That IS the prOvis-
ion that a docket fee of $25 be asses
sed as costs in all appealed cases u
accompany the filing of the appeal.
There was immediate and vociferous
protest from some of the lawyer
members of the senate against this
effort to make the litigation bear
some of the cost OF the court. Law
yers asserted that 1t is an attempt to
close tie doors Of the courts to the
poor aan; that it Is undemocratic
and d.ctatorial and all that sort OF
thing Yet they realize that the low
ccst Of appeals leads to litigation and
that the cost OF the courts is borne
almost exclusively under present
conditions by the taxpayers and not
by the litigants.

Oklahoma City Feb. 16.-The de-
bate in the Senate the other day on
the bill by Senator Burford to cre-
ate supreme court commission to
assist in clearing the terrible conges-
ted docket of the supreme court de-
veloped some interesting viewpoints.
The debate seemed to make 1t
clear--at least most Of the Senator'S
agreed that nine extra judges, as
suggested in the bill, will just about
be able to keep the court from get
ting any further behind in its work.
1t is already 5000 cases behind the
current filings 1t also developed
that appeals from many judgments
are generally the rule In any event,
whether there be reversible error in
the decision or not, because the in
terest that is allowed on Judgment is
but 6 per cent. and money is worth
more than that in the ordinary run
of business. 1t pays to perfect APP
peals, rather than to pay the judg-
ments. This is especially true when
