urges ABANDONING
GRAND JURY SYSTEM
Morris Believes Procedure Would
Speed Up Work Of Fed
eraI Courts

Washington. Jan. l8.-F)-Speed-
Ing Up federal court procedure by
abandoning the grand jury system,
except where necessity requires, is
suggested by Chairman Norris Of the
senate judiciary committee.
Senator Norris offers. this PROPOSE
ton as q counter proposal to the rec
ommendation Of President Hoover's
law enforcement commission for trials
by United States commissioners Of
petty offenders, which he Is inclined
to regard as unconstitutional.
The voluminous recommendations
Of the law enforcement commission
are before Senator Norris committee
and win come up there for early con-
alteration.
Chairman Norris i ready to sup
port the Recommendation for transfer
Of the prohibition enforcement serv-
Ice from the treasury to the justice
departments proposal that has long
been before congress.
However, there r. some troubles
ahead In the senate for the many
other suggestions for strengthening
the dry law. and out Of 1t all there Is
little certainty that other than the
transfer measure will get through at
this session.
The Norris proposal for abandon
ment Of the grand jury system would
require q constitutional amendment.
He feels, however, that 1t offers q
solution for the crowded court dock
cts. He would not abolish the grand
jury system, but he would permit
prosecution Of offenders upon infor-
nation by the district attorneys, leav-
ing 1t within the discretion Of the
Judge to order grand jury hearings
for Indictment.

Farmer Asks State
To Pay Duck Raids

Mike Mertes, who has. lived In the
Bowbells territory for 81 years, wants
the state to do something about the
wild ducks which ate his grain last
3all.
In . letter to Governor F. Shafer,
Mertes complained that hundreds Of
ducks came from q nearby slough
and ate from 800 to 400 bushels Of his
wheat.
Since the state protects the ducks,
he said, It Is only fair that it should
pay for the grain they consume.
Their greed made the difference be-
tween profit and loss on his farm, he
said, and he served notice that If the
state doesn't do something about 1t
he will constitute himself a menace
to the ducks in whatever manner Is
open to him next spring.
