new BUSINESS
ENTERS FIELD
HANDIcRAFT NOVELTY AR
TIcLES ARE NOW IN
GREAT DEMAND

JACKSONVILLE, March 81
FNS) A new business oppor-
tunity has just been opened up
to FlOridians, according to Will
liam L. Wilson, director of State
Markets, who recently announced
that buyers from large New
York department stores had
called at his office here in an eff
fort to locate handicraft novelty
articles made in America.
The buyers stated that most
novelties sold in this country
have heretofore come from
zecho-Slovakia, Germany, Italy
and Japan, but that a strong SEN
timent was growing against ar
ticles from these countries. Gus
toners do not want to buy them
and store owners do not want to
sell them, the buyers said.
Novelties of wood, shells, fish
scales, ceramics, novelty glass,
grasses, reeds and palm leaves,
as well as preserved tropical
fruits are in demand, stated
Wilson. $50 far" he added, "the
sale Of such articles in Florida
has been limited to tourists visit
ing the State. With the entire
country asking for novelties by
Americans for Americans, the
opportunities for nationwide sale
of Florida handicraft objects are
enormous. It should result in
bringing much additional money
into the state-and think of the
perfect advertising it would give

90 provision that the conviction
for a lesser offense is not an ac-
quital Of higher offense unless
conviction stands; "a right of the
state, as well as the defendant, to
appeal, which will eliminate
many of the .technicalities now
employed by shresEd lawyers to
such good advantage. In numer-
Gus other ways If will give us a
code that is fair to the accused,
fair to the state, less costly, free
as possible form technicalities
and speedier in its administers
ton.
Every honest, right thinking
citizen, every fair minded, sin
cere attorney, should favor any
more designed to improve the
efficiency of our criminal proce-
dure, reduce costs, and insure
speedier justice.
Deserves Careful Consideration
The Criminal Procedure Bill,
ropSred and recommended to the
Legislature of Florida by the
Florida State Bar Association,
serves TO special or selfish inter-
est. 1t is designed to advance the
welfare of the state as a whole
and represents the highest type
of legislation. 1t deserves the most
careful and sympathetic consid-
Grafton of our legislators and,
considering the character and
ability of the men who make up
the 1899 Legislature, l feel conf
dent it will have.
Other states, confronted with a
similar problem, have found it
necessary to discard useless, im>
practical statutes and establish
codes to fit the present day. Some
sections of our present code date
back to 1923. The bill, which
will be presented by the Bar As
ISOLATION, retains those features
that are good, while the bad and
obsolete features are eliminated
to give us a compact code con-
tanning all of the procedural laws
on the subject so that the prac-
titioner and the court will have
all of the law on the subject in
one act.

CRIMINAL LAWS NOW
UNDERGOING CHANGE

- Citizens generally have grown
highly impatient with the admin
-istfation Of criminal justice in
Florida. They speak of the laws
delays, the high costs, useless
-technicalities. and the large num-
Der of reversals in criminal cases.
This criticism has tended to
bring disrespect upon the law
and our courts, and the public
has tossed the problem in the lap
of the Florida State Bar AsSocia-
ton with the question, why
don't you do something about
it?"
Tackle Problem
Accepting the challenge, the
Bar Association, over a six-year
period, has been making a thor
ough and careful study of the
problem, calling on the ablest
legal minds in the organization,
with a distinguished list of GRIM
inal lawyers-both prosecutors
and defense-in an attempt to
write new criminal code for
Florida.
The result of this effort will be
presented to the 1899 Legislature
in the form of a bill entitled,
Code of Criminal Procedure.
The whole spirit of the code is to
simplify procedure. The trainers
believe that the one issue in : a
criminal case is the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused. Such a trial
is an effort to arrive at. the truth
and not forensic battle between
legal adversaries to see which
knows the most technicalities and
loopholes. The only hope of the
Bar Association is to give to Flor
ida such d code, to the end that
justice may be served, sure and
speedy for all, and that the GRIM
inal trials be disposed of on their
merits.
Salient Points
Some of the salient points in
the proposed code are: ID the
preservation of constitutional
guarantees; (2) a harmless error
clause, which should substantially
reduce the number of reversalS;
