The constitution of Idaho provides
for only three justices Of the supreme
court The constitution was adopted
thirty years ago. and it must be evil
dent that the growth of the state in

dustrial development has resulted in
greatly increasing litigation that

court In fact this increase has been
so great that the three justices are
now far behind in their work. while
new cases are constantly being added
to the supreme court calendar. The
delays in reaching decisions is now
the chief cause of complaint against
tine supreme court, but this is not di-
rected against the three justices. for
it is known that they work diligently
with an earnest desire to dispose of
cases at the earliest possible date. 1t
is in the interest of litigants that the
supreme court should take all the
time necessary to examine references
and give due deliberation to their
opinions before they are rendered.
and this process requires much time
On the other hand, litigants are en-
titled to speedy justice at the hands
of the court. In this situation the
only remedy lies in increasing the /
membership of the supreme court. /
The matter of increasing the mem

that a security so desirable would al

people, the investment feature was
always a secondary consideration and
that the primary purpose IN sub

the good faith of the government and
they do not now; but the good faith
OF some of those who represent the
government in view OF the deprecia-

subjected, is seriously questioned, and !
the reason for it is explained in the
action of the government in buying |
Liberty bonds at the present depreci-

the bond buyers.
