Madison, Wis.-Justice W. c. Owen
of The Wisconsin Supreme Court has
issued statement approving the
amendment to Article VII Of the State
constitution relating to circuit courts
which is to be voted upon by the peo-
pie of the state at the spring election,
April 9Th.
GAS one who takes pride in the jul
dicial system of Wisconsin, and be-
1ieves that it should at all times be
adequate for the prompt administra-
ton Of justice" said Judge Owen, Il
sincerely hope that the proposed
amendment will meet with the ap-
prevail of the people" Both houses of
the legislature of 1917 and of the legis-
lature of 1919 by practically unani-
NOUS vote agreed that the constitution
should be amended. This is all that
the legislature can do. The amend
ment must now be approved by the
voters at the spring election to be-
come effective.
"One of the most important func-
lions OF government is to provide am
pie opportunity for speedy justice"
continued Judge Owen, who was attOr-
ney general Of Wisconsin before he
was elected a justice Of the Supreme
Court, and is thoroughly familiar with
the courts of Wisconsin,
Since the constitution was adopted
in 1913 the population of the state has
increased from 100000 to over 3,000,
900 people. Large cities have grown
up. The population of Milwaukee,
county alone is greater than that of
the whole state when the constitution
was adopted The growth of the state
has made necessary many changes in
the constitution. with increasing
population the work Of the courts is
constantly growing" said Judge
Owen. But so far as the state at large
is concerned no change has been made
in the provisions OF the constitution
relating to circuit courts since the
days when there were but five circuit
judges in the state, who were judges
of the supreme court as we'll as of the
circuit courts of Wisconsin,
The last two sessions Of the legisla-
ture have determined that the public
welfare demaids that the constitution,
framed in 1S4S, so far as it relates to
circuit courts, should be changed to
meet the new conditions that have
come about in the last seventy years
Under the constitution as it now
stands legislature has no power to
do anything 10 care for this constantly
increasing number of circuit court
cases, except to create new circuits.
Each time a new circuit is created
the taxpayers of the state must con-
tinue to pay the expenses of sucn new
circuit for all time, because the con-
stitution as it now stands gives the
legislature no power to decrease the
number of circuits; it only gives the
power to increase the number. If the
people approve this amendment, the
legislature will have the power to
adopt such means as will meet the
needs of the state in the way that will
be the least expensive to the taxpay.
