AMENABLITY TO THE PEOPLE AN ESSEN.
TIAL FEATURE.

Amensbility Of the judges to the people must
be recognized as an essential feature OF demo-
cratic government, for no public officer should be
immune from public responsibility. That does not
mean, however, that removals OF judges should
be made directly by the people. The practice in
some Of the older states ever since the American
Revolution has been to give this power Of re-
moval to the two houses of the Legislature To
guard against abuse, removal should require an
adequate vote in both, houses sitting separately
or as joint body, and perhaps also the Govern
srs separate approval. 1t should not require for

THE EXISTING REFEREE SYSTEM BASED
UPON ERRONEOUS HYPOTHESIS

Dissatisfaction with the existing referee sys-
TEN is widespread. The system is based upon an
erroneous hypothesis for private litigants should
never have to pay referees fees. The machinery
for the administration of justice being provided
by the State, ltigant should be burdened with
the expense of a reference, since it is not his
fault that the character of his action may neces-
state a trial before referee instead of single
justice, or justice and Jury. Apart from its in
justice, the system breeds intolerabe scandals
Judges are degraded if forced by any party exi-
gency notion Of obedience to party leaders to
make appointments of receivers, referees or con-
demnGtion commissioners from lists submitted to
them by party head II such appointments are
to be regarded free acts of the justices them
selves, judicial unftness for the exercise of this
power of appointment could not be better demon
strated. have long been Of the opinion that
board of Official referees should be created
There is one tribunal in this state not strictly
within the category Of a court that might well
be made constitutional body and that is the
board Of claims In the State of New York since
the year 1870 quasi judicial boards or bodies
have existed to which claims against the state
have been referred by the legislature These
boards have latterly become political prizes, with

APPONTIVE SYSTEM JUSTIFIED BY LON
LIST OF BRILLIANT JUDGES.

The consensus of the best opinion has ever been
that no plan for the selection Of judges surpasses
the appointve system. 1t gave this state a long
roster of brilliant judges in the first seventy
years of its history. 1t has rendered the Su-
preme Court of the United States illustrious
throughout Christendom. 1t has given the judi
ciary Of states like Massachusetts, and New Jersey
an enviable position in the world of jurspru-
dence. If opposition to appointive system may
be expected from the upstate counties, let them
concede to New York City the option Of election
or appointment.
There is an economical loss in the elective plan
We pay a heavy toll heavy in the added cost to
the litgant Of expensive appeals, in the fees OF
the referees casually the least competent and
most sordid) whom political judges appoint;
heavy in the outlay of money required merely to
put in operation the obsolete and awkward ma
chinery for determining the compensation to be
awarded when property is taken under the law
of eminent domain. The fees and disbursements
Of condemnation commissioners in one hundred
and fifty recent proceedings in the City of New
York amounted to three-quarters of million of
dollars.
In circumstances should there be curtail-
ment Of judicial tenure. It should be heightened,
not shortened-to continue during good behavior
or until seventy is reached. short term con-
duces neither to judicial independence nor judi
eal efficiency. The vice OF our administrative
civil service is the short term of department or
bureau heads. One reason why judges as a class
DO their work more successfully than adminis-
trative officers is because their term Of Office Is
longer. Once dislodge the notion that the judge
is representative official, once educate the peo-
pie to understand that he is a technical expert
like a bridge or subway engineer or a professor
Of mathematics, and It should be easy to restore
the appointive plan Then continue the Judge in
Office so long, and long only, as he does his
work we'll

not representative officer His function is to
administer law, which requires primarily legal
knowledge. The judge is supposedly an expert,
however deficient in legal qualifications we some
times find him. Voters are not competent to pass
upon expert questions or to decide whether one
person has the requisite skill, character, train
ing and discipline to perform technical work
successfully Hence there is inherent nabil-
ity on their part to decide who is fit for judicial
place. But Governor has full opportunity to
ascertain the qualifications of judicial aspirants.

The following information from State Game Warden Willard will be of interest to local spousmen: Editor, Bisbee Review:
 Your telegram inquir:ng as to the open season on Blue Rock pigeons, was received and answered last night, but in order to make the matter per fectly clear, wish to state that the Blue Rock and the Band Tail are one and the same. but under the Federal Migratory Bird Law they are desig- mated as Band Tails, and are placed under protection until l9lS'
 lt is @ mistake to suppose that the Federal law has been declared un- constitutional as many Of the courts have upheld it while the two ad- verse decisions are now on appeal be- fore the e s supreme court Fmth- ermore. any violation of this law may be prosecuted at any time within three years from the date of onense.

SIMS TELLS HOW HUNT FRUSTRATED THE PLANS
 FOR ECONOMIC BILL
Continued from Page D

ANOuIlAutu Abn age 4l ation Committee that I would like to see the General Appropriation Bill embrace all the expenditures of the
 State. He, with the help of the audi
 tors office, formulated a draft of an Appropriation Bill that showed every statutory appropriation He then ask
 ed all State Department heads for a budget showing their requirements for two years. This request was not promptly complied with by some De- partment heads, but when it was in- timated that the Senate Appropria- ton Committee in the absence of a budget would fix appropriations that
 they thought would be sufficient all departments filed budgets
 This disclosed three unlimited ap- propriatiOns, viz. Tax Commission,
 Land Commission and Militia Fund. Aside from the fact that an open or unlimited appropriation is no; good business practice we were confronted
 with the difficulty of preparing a Levy Bill for unknown amounts for the three departments above mention ed But by using the budgets of these three departments We could place. the proper amounts in the Levy Bin to administer these departments In so doing. however, it was consistent and necessary that these open apprOpria- tions be repealed If the Legislature had the right 10 fix the amounts for these departments, they certainly had
 the right to repeal the section proyid- ing for the open appropriations. The Appropriation Bill was passed ! by both Houses by a two-thirds vote
 the Levy Bin followed it, carrying amounts as provided in the appropria- tion and was likewise passed by a two-thirds vote and became a law without the governors signature. The Appropriation Bill was the most comprehensive bin of it's kind that has been passed in the State, | showing the taxpayers where all the | States revenues go and I believe ii carried ample amounts for the proper administration of the States various ldepartments

Nearly 200 dancers were caught in the severe rain shortly after 10 O. clock last evening at Vista Park There followed a mad rush for waiting street cars which, despite best efforts of the ear officials, were necessarily unable to handle the throngs Not a few were drenched to the skin and it is reported several gowns were ru- ined 2iHf Ni

COMMITTEE GIVES IN DETAIL SYSTEM OF
 BOND BUILT ROADS
Every Important City and Town of CoChiSe County Is Benefited By Proposed Plan for High ways.

With the exception of the estimated cost for each of the 19 road districts of the county which the county engi- neer will prepare and which is made a part and complement of the com mittee's report, the proceedings of Fridays committee meeting were yes terday embodied into detailed report by the secretary.
 A study of the report will show that the prepared system connects up ev- cry important city and town of the county with other points of ike class, that 1t gives access from the agricul- tural sections Of the county to the chief markets of each and that no roads are recommended which might be considered private roads" or do not connect up two or more definite points
 The BOrderland Route Is completed through this county but this cannot be termed a courier route since it con meets up important points and is Of benefit to agricultural districts and it embraces less than a fifth of the pre- pared system. The following is the full text of the report:
