REDUCING JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
(Orlando Reporter-Star)

People of the state of Florida will be
given an opportunity to vote on an amend
ment to the state constitution in the fall
election calculated to reduce the number
of circuit courts in the state This amend
naent will undoubtedly carry. For three
successive legislatures it has been prom
ised. Now that the opportunity is offered,
taxpayers will not be slow in registering
their approval of an amendment that will
save them near 100000 annually.
Encouragement of circuits on a basis
of not less than $4,000 population to cir
cult, will leave some of the nominees of the
June primary out in the cold. 1t may pos
sibly bunch others up in circuits where only
one can qualify. TO meet this situation.
Gov. Sholtz suggests that circuit judges and
states attorneys be not nominated in June.
To this suggestion good deal of opposition
is developing.
Under the Florida system, voters are
given an opportunity to register their
preference of candidates through the pri-
mary election. Then the governor may ap-
point or refuse to appoint the candidate
nominated. He usually appoints the can
didate nominated but is not bound to un-
der the law.
Possessing the authority with which
the governor is invested over the Judiciary,
should serve to prevent any confusion aris-
ing out of a change in judiciary boundaries.
It would not be necessary for him to inter-
fere in circuits that are undisturhed blythe
re-arrangement, and in the others he
would have the same authority of. selection
of candidates that he would have to fill the
ticket if no names at all were put in noTni-
nation in the June primaries.
People are rather jealous of the right
.to4vote. for-the &C a1ididatess of their ehei6e.
Particularly is it desirable that courts be
kept as free from politics as possible, and
this is the very purpose of the Florida sys-
tenn of selecting judiciary candidates. 1t
is double check on bad political in
fluences. First at the polls, secondly in the
governors authority. If through crooked
methods or improper influences. an inn
proper candidate is nominated to any of
these important offices, the governor may
refuse to appoint. This system can be pre-
served in the present situation without de-
priving the people of the right to vote and
thereby creating political situation not to
be desired.
