State Still Marks Time
On Cat Hole Pass Road


Many local people are asking the
status of the Cat Hole pass road
repair bill and why the 1929 lcgisla-
ture does not do something about VI.
The legislature has passed the bill
for repairs and the entire affair now
rests in the hands of the highway
commissioner. who says that 1t will
have to await its turn before work Is
begun and funds are available.
The road building Of the state IL

atoms committee that in turn has to
listen to the dictates Of the finance

All these obstacles are mere play
when 1t comes to making the high

through rosy glasses.
John Kimmel. a former member
OF the legislature from Plainvi!)e.
and member Of the roads. rivers
and bridges committee. had some
pretty strong ideas on the nullified
powers of the roads, rivers AMI

tated to air his views. 1t was the

was pointed out that he was a legis-
lator from Governor John H. Trum-
bulls home town, and his actions
would embarrass the head Of the
state. He went back, under protest,
but for the rest Of the session. his
heart wasn't in his committee work.
The Cat Hole pass road has the
backing of some powerful lesisla-
tors such as former Lieut.. Governor
Edwin Brainard. the majority Of the
members Of the former finance,
roads, rivers and bridges, and APP

AS a result OF his long experience at
the bar. in public Office and on the
bench. the Chief Justice has been
forced to add other indictments to his
first list of evils. He has found de-
fects all along the line in our methods
of curbing crime and Furnishing Grim
inals. Not only has he dared to expose
and criticize these failings. but he has
come forward with definite remedial
suggestions
On the eve, of the appointment OF
President Hoover's fact-finding COM
mission, with public interest in the
whole question of law obedience at an
unprecedented peak, 1t might be well
to recall some of the specific things
which Chief Justice Taft has found
wrong with American jurisprudence.
First of all, he thinks our machinery
for experimenting criminals is anti

There are insufficient policemen in

laries In the rural districts. The adj

able to keep pace with the maneuvers

THE law" saws the Chief Justice.
should not prevent the charge of the
court from being enlightening and clar-
flying. It should obviate. the camou-
hage that is so often created in a
courtroom by the skill and histrionic
ability of the counsel. We must trust
somebody in the supervision OF the trial.
and that somebody must be and should
be the judge. The procedure and the
rules of evidence should not be such
that the lawyers can weave web to
trip the trial Judge, and secure de-
cision which an upper court by reason
of technical rules would have to set
aside. Neither the English judges nor
the Judges Of the Federal courts are

the real issues and to weigh evidence
intelligently.
Though the law-breaker be brought to
the bar of justice, his punishment Oft
times neither Is swift nor sure, Mr..
Taft laments. Through the wiles of
counsel. he takes advantage OF techni-
calities of the law to squirm his way
to freedom, or smugly places his fate
in the hands of an attornew capable Of
swaying jurors with histrionic dis
sertations.
Fortunately for the criminal, many of
the States have succumbed to hysteria
in their desire to protect the constitu-
tional rights of the citizen. In their over
zealousness Legislatures have thrown a
straitjacket of restraint around the
prosecution and opened the doors Of
leniency to the defense.
