Pfeme court the power to alter O,
amend by decree approximately NOR,
Than one-third of the statutes Of

Ihe arguments nut up by Nagle
and Burns were along the line t6at
The remaking Of the laws of Proceed
ure by the Supreme Court wouId
make for the simplifcation and exne-
dillon OF practice in the courts. Thew
contended that under the present 1T1Ie
case IS often drawn out for a consid
eroale period of time. They showed
!hat IN England a case is disposed of
In a remarkably short time whereas
cases drag slowly in the United States
because OF archaic procedural rules.
fitzgerald and Beadle of Cilvar
BOW opposed the bill. They commended
mat The legislature did not have a
constitutional right to delegate its
laWmakng power in the Supreme
Court. They showed that MANY GOOD

were Knocked out by a five to fon1,
