NE VI COURT MUCH
NEEDED IN IOWA
CHIEF JUSTICE eAYNoR WOULD
ESTABLISH NEW BODY.
RELIEF TO SUPREME COURT
Routine Work Requires Too Much
Time of Higher Body, When It
Should Be Considering More
Important Questions.

Des Moines, Dec. 2O.-Frank R.
Gaynor, chief justice of the Iowa
Supreme court for 1917, favors the
establishment in Iowa of an inter
mediate court as a relief to the
Supreme court from much of the
business which now burdens it's
docket.
The appointment of one more
member of the Supreme court has
been proposed by attorneys.
Justice Gaynor says that the APP
pointment of an additional judge
would aid materially in handling
cases, but he is of the opinion that
court between the District and
the Supreme court is the best solu-
tion &C the problem.
Cther States Have One.
I'm many of the other states the
judicial system provides for a
court which is higher than the Dis
trict court and not equal to the
Supreme court" said Judge Gaynor.
THAT intermediate court takes
appeals from the District court
and settles most of the cases, pass
ing on to the Supreme court &C
lions involving constitutional ques-
tions or new questions of law.
much of the time of the Su-
preme court is now taken up with
cases involving only fact questions.
These cases could well be settled by
a court of appeals and thus permit
the Supreme court to spend its
time considering the more import
ant questions.
No Limited Plan.
THE members of the Supreme
court have never discussed this
question Each member probably
has his own idea of how the BUSH
ness Of the court could be carried on
to better" advantage. Personally |
would favor the court of appeals, if
anything is done. l have not con-
sidered the matter as to whether this
is the time when some action of the
kind should be taken. 1t is a mat
ter which cannot be decided without
thorough consideration"
