Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1916-07-28

{ shocked the whole United States
Since this system was adopted
hundreds Of the greatest OF criml
nails have escaped because OF thu
disqualifcations Of your veniry
men. This defect can be remedied
First, by allowing the state {
change of venue; second, by al
lowing the state in such cases tt
summon venirymen from othel
counties; third, by removing tht
present premium our present con
stitution places on ignorance anc
stupidity, by making a veniry
man competent, even though he
has read what purports to be the
facts of the offense charged, il he
will otherwise qualify and state
under oath that he will and can
render a fair and impartial YER
dict on the law and the evidence.
Then, under our criminal prac-
tice, much grating is done. One
bill of cost certified from the
Shelby county criminal court last
January demonstrates that fact,
A boy was indicated thirty-nine
times in that county for taking
his employers money. He finally
pleaded guilty in one case and
the other thirtY-eight were nollied
by the state. He received short
term sentence to the workhouse.
The bill of cost amounted to
$1,000. The state paid (and all
the people paid it) 81. 800 for con-
victing a boy and that did not
include the cost Of the jury, and
Judge and encouragement and
other court expenses. Should not
this grating be made impossible?
We have many useless offices
in the state. All counties under
10000 population should have
only half the number OF offices
they have, For example, the
sheriff should collect the taxes,
and the county court clerk should
register the deeds and the circuit
and chancery court clerks offices
should be consolidated, resulting
in a great saving to the people.
Our legislature creates many
offices every term for the benefit Of
its members who resign and as
sumo the duties Of thereof. In 1918
a representative from Marshall
county railroaded a bill through
the legislature creating special
assistant district attorney for a
certain circuit so the attorney
general thereof could practice law,
and then resigned and was APP
pointed by the encouragement
to fill the office. Several men,
bers of the last two legislatures
have resigned to accept positions
they had created for their own
convience. This must be forbidden.
The pard9ning power now vest
ed in the governor has, to a great
extent, been used for political
purposes and has resulted in dis
grace to our state more than once.
Would not a board of pardons,
except in capital cases, be adj.
visible? No man should be pard-
oned unless Justice demanded it,
regardless Of his or her former
station in life or Of the influence
of his family and friends.
Under our fee syetem, the
county officers Of our large cities
receive from ten to thirty thous-
and dollar per annum of the peo-

RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry? /;
To the American Public:

Do you believe in arbitration or induSs,
trial warfare?
The train employees on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service
your service. This army of employees is in
the public servlce-your service.
You pay for rail transportation billion
dollars a year, and A cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employees.
On all the Southern railroads 1915 per cent Of the
train employees earned these lowest highest and average

% Aug. 8, next the voters will
decide whether or not we will call
and hold a state constitutions
convention in November, next
Ii the majority vote for said con
yention, then at the regular cleo
ton in November, next, nintey
nine delegates will be elected BY
a majority Of all the voters Of this
state, regardless OF party aftllla
tons, to meet in Nashville Nov
Is, next, for the purpose only o
submitting such amendments as
they think fit and necessary tC
our present constitution. Thus
we elect in the same way and
the same number of men to rep
resnt us in said convention that
we will elect to the lower house
Of orr general assembly. They
must be twenty-five years OF age,
at least, and doubtless would be
among the ablest men OF our
state. No new constitution is
contemplated nor will the voters
be compelled to adopt any OF the
amendments offered by said con-
vention. Each amendment must
receive a majority of the votes
cast in the state before it becomes
q part Of our constitution. What
method could be fairer? See
chapters 10 and Ill of the public
acts of the state for 1915.
Necessary CHANCES.
Our supreme court should be
made to set at the capital all the
time. By doing this, calling the
docket OF each division every three
months, suits will be disposed OF
with dispatch and at a great
saving. Hundreds of men are
convicted in the different divisions
Of the state while the court is
sitting there or about the time it
adjourns and they must be kept
in jail, if a capital case, or, if not
able to make bond, for a year or
more at the expense of the people.
Besides the loss this is unfair to-
the prisoner and to all litigants.
Again, it greatly impairs the
efficiency of the court and makes
it impossible for them to have a
permanet and adequate library.
Then the majority of our
criminal cases are mere misde-
memoirs that should be disposed
of in an inexpensive way by our
county Judge or some county
tribunal, that could hear them
promptly on an information In
stead of the expensive grand jury
system. This has proven to be
a great saving in other states,
and Judge Higgins, of your court
of civil appeals, says would save
100000 in Tennessee per annum.
Again, if a band Of ruffians
should come into our circuit and
murder our Judge, attorney-gen-
eral and sheriff, as they did in
Virginia a few years ago, they
could never be convicted under
our inefficient system of criminal
procedure. The crime would be
so shocking that every man in
your county would learn the de-
tails and the murderers would
have to be set free because no
competent jury could be found in
the county, just as the night
riders were discharged in Obion
county after they had mobbed
Captain Rankin, a crime that

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (eSs than
one-6fth of all employes)is equal to per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without clear mandate from public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment Of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employees representatives.
Shall nationwide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
eminent determine this issue?
