Dane County Would
Get Circuit Judge
If the Voters Ratify Amendment at
the Coming Election an Injustice
Would Be Rectified.

Madison,-A Wisconsin county
without circuit Judge This is in
effect the situation that moved both
houses of the legislatures of 1921
and 1928 to approve the amendment
to Section 7, Article 7, Of the con-
stitution which will be submitted to
the voters for approval at the
November election. In order to
keep all state officers and employees
at work in Madison, instead of pay
ing their travelling expenses out of
the state treasury while they are
going about the state to attend court
in all counties of the state, the law
provides that all actions to review
the decisions of all the state com
missions and all state officers be
tried in Dane county These cases
have so increased in recent years
as to take the major part of the
time of Judge Stevens. The result
is that the state has practically de-
prived Dane County of its circuit
judge. The state supplies every
other county with circuit Judge
whose time is devoted to trial Of
cases arising within his circuit and
pays his salary out of the state
treasury.
The legislature of 1921, recogniz-
ing that an injustice was being done
to Dane county, recommended that
this amendment to the constitution
be adopted II also provided for a
judge of the Superior Court Of Dane
county whose salary is paid out of
the state treasury, but the state is
not receiving the return for this
salary that it would receive if il were
to pay a circuit judge who could try
cases in the Dane county circuit
court and in other circuit courts,
while the superior court judge can
hold court only in the Dane county
superior court.
If this amendment is ratified at
the November election a circuit
judge viii be elected in Dane county
who will take the place of the
superior judge. There win be no
increase in the number Of judges
whose salaries are paid out of the
state treasury because it is limited
TO circuits that contain a county
with $4,000 or more people Until
the census of 1880 is taken there
will be no counties in the state with
that population, except Milwaukee
and Dane counties. Milwaukee
cult judge under a similar constitu-
tion amendment passed for the relief
of that county years ago.
