Apparently the coming administra-

Judge Davis. land it is the duty of

dIty prompts me to mention some
ways in which much public money is
wasted, and to recommend laws that
will prevent useless loss, without re-
ducing the efficiency of the officers one

LITIGANTS PAY COSTS.
Judge Davis sets worth that it is un-
necessary and wasteful to require a
trial de novo" in the district court of

probate and justice courts. 1T is

stead of 10 peremptory challenges in
criminal cases in the district court
when the offensc charged is punish
able by life Imprisonment or death,
each party should have six peremp-
tories, Judge Davis thinks.
WOULD REDUCE GRAND JURY.
SO tar as grand jury is concerned
it should consist of II persons instead
OF l6, in the opinion of Judge Davis.
"A grand jury is unwieldy and jurors
are often in each others way in exam
ming books, county property, etc.
When there are so many, and the large
number acts slower and costs consider
able more in per diem and mileage"
RADICAL ACTION NECESSARY.
Concluding. Judge Davis says:
Conditions in this state justify
drastic action. immigration has prac-
relief from high taxation. At the same
time they insist that our many merit
orious enterprises shall not suffer We
are developing our educational sys-
tens, and founding othar institutions,
are building roads and canals, and
making homes. Older and more thick
~ settled states are already supplied
in large measure with what we are
now creating. And by comparison with
them the taxation rate is against us
This rotards our progress and makes
it our duty to carefully consider
where the money goes and the results
secured.
Our judicial system is very expen-
sive. In the first place. we have much
more litigation than staid and settled
commupities, And, worse yet a large
amount of money is wasted in the
ways suggested above.
COURTS OvERWoRkED.
THE supreme court Is very much
overworked. They violate >the eight
hour law almost every day, and yet
they are unable to keep up with the
mass of incoming business. In sew
eral judicial districts the judges can
not possibly try cases within d rea-
sonablee time. The result is that wit
nesses forget evidence, scatter and die,
and justice is denied by delay. The
demand for new judges is therefore
insistent, and some real relief must
be granted. if the state is to provide
even approximate protection to the
rights of its citizens"

of Judge Davis. This would have the
important effect of expediting the

lied" said Judge Davis, ito direct that
the trial of relatively unilnportant
cases be before eight jurors instead Of

of the peace that four or eieht shall
serve. 1t may surprise some people to
learn that at present in all cases a
jury of ~ must be called, unless the
parties stipulate for fewer number.
and this they are often unable to do.
Twelve men frequently waste their
time for days listening to petty quar-.
rel where four jurors or eight would
do as well or better. More than the
amount of the salary of the Judge can
be saved every day the smaller Jury
is used, and in the aggregate the saw
ing would amount to many thousands
of dollars"
A RADICAL REFORM.
1t Is also the opinion of Judge Davis
as shown by his recommendation that
the constitution of the state should he

HARD WOODS OF BRAZIL
IMPORTANT RESOURCE
The Jacaranda, Undulating Grain
and Delicate Shading, One of
Handsomest Trees.

While it is true that the great re-
sources of the Brazilian republic, richer
in forest tracts than any other repub-
ploited only in small part, and while
the coming of new railways and ave-
nues of communication will produce a
notable increase in the country's out

which are able to furnish foreign GUS
toners with Brazilian hardwoods in al
most any desired quantity. subject to a

Much of the vast Brazilian forest Is
so inaccessible as to cause the despair
of the foreign lumberman. who is
trained to have clear view of the
country and to estimate its output at
so many trees per acre or hectare. For
this reason it is sometimes hard to
control the supply or to set prices.
One tree situated near by costs the
lura herman a small sum. and another
can be brought to the coast only at a
much greater cost. The supply, how
ever. is in a measure controlled by
certain large firms upon whom reliance
may be placed when prices have been
given and steady supply promised.
