construed by the people. However,
after giving the matter some thought

time was probably in better position
than any one else to know and, there

of its importance TO the people of the
state of Oklahoma, and for this rea-
son. have decided to disregard the
dangers of unfavorable criticism and
TO give you my views as to the changes
sought TO be made in the publlc
service by this proposed amendment
Effect Of Amendment
The county court, Formerly the
probate court, land most generally
known by this terml, has existed in
this stale since the organization OF It's
first territorial government and upon
the admission OF the state, 1t was
established by its constitution and its
jurisdiction was specially provided for
therein.
The amendment under discussion
TO the constitution of the state was
submitted to the people by the legls'
lature In March 1915, for their ap-
proval or rejection at the primary
election 10 be held in August tins
year, and is as follows:
"The district court should have
original jurisdiction in all civil and
criminal cases, except where exclusive
jurisdiction is hereafter by legislative
enactment conferred on some other
court and such other jurisdiction as
may be provided in this constitution
or by law, provided nothing herein is
intended to prohibit the legislature
from conferring original jurisdiction
upon the supreme court. The district

the legislature. shall have the original
jurisdiction of the probate courl, II

the United States laws as affecting
Indian titles.
These are the principal duties Of the
county Judge, and there are many
other matters constantly coming up TO
require the attention of the court but
just the duties mentioned would seem
conclusive proof that the county Judge,
If he 'pretedds 10 keep up his work 10
the proper manner, has no time for
loafing.
There can be but one effect OF the
proposed amendment, and that Is to
make the court clerk the county Judge.

Extra Work on Clerk.
In addition to this. the extra work
placed on the court clerk would re
quire the appointment Of more
deputies at increased salaries. Each
district Judge is allowed by law, a
stenograpGcr Tho Is paid salary by
the state almost as large as the sal
airy paid TO a large number Of the
county Judges Of the state, and in
addition to this, retains for himself
all fees which he earns for transcripts
on appeals from the district court, and
this alone, in most cases, amounts to
as much or more than the salary paid,
while the stenographer in the county
court Is required by law to pay into
the county treasury all fees earned by
him Just the same as other court
costs are paid in. Then, again, it
costs in many ways, great deal less
money to run county court than a
district court. Every case that is
tried and disposed Of in the county
court Is tried at an expense TO the
county of about one.thrd Of what the
expense would be of trying the same
case in the district court A less mum
bor of officers and bailfs are required
than In the district court the district
court necessarily requires more time
to dispose of the same business and
each case is tried in the county court

Jurors In attendance upon the district
court during its term is about 40, or
more while the average number in

about sixteen, so just on this item
alone, the cost of the district court is
more than $4,000 a day more than the
court. For these reasons, II

Would Result in no Economy.

AS ! understand it, the friends of
! this measure rely principally on their
argument that its adoption would
eliminate the office of county Judge
and put his work on other officials,
and thereby save to the tax payers the
money which is now paid to the coun-
/ ty Judge, as salary and that it would
result in economy to this extent. We
are all heartily in favor of any change
in the administration of our govern
mcnt that would result in any real
ECONOMY without lessening its cffici
ency or cripping the service to tire
people. but would the adoption of this
amendment result IN any real econ.
omy? The salaries paid TO the county
judges of the state are from $l500.00
year to as high as S250000 a year,
in some OF the larger counties. The
salary OF the district judges of the
state is 100000 a year for each and
every one of them Il is admitted by
those urging the adoption of the
amendment that if it should become n
law and The work now done by the
county courts added TO that of the
district courts that the work could
not be done by the present number Of
district judges and ii would be neces-
sary to appoint or elect more district
iudges-how many, no one knows, and
how much this added expense would
be- no one knows, but whatever II was,
would have to be deducted from; the
amount saved in the salary of the
county judges, and it is possible that
this item of new expense alone would
more than offset the amount which
would be saved. The proposed amend
ment would also add new powers and
duties of judicial nature to the court
clerk and it is argued, would require
more skilled man to do the work

Would Be Less Efficient
Than Present System.

II is argued, also, by those in favor
of the amendment that the system as
proposed, would be more efficient in
that the court clerk would be appoint
ed by the district judge and that the
district Judge would in each instance
appoint more capable man than the
people would elect to do this work 1t
would seem that this argument would
need no answer for people under a
democratic form of government such
as ours
