NEED FOR LOWER
COURT EXPENSES
IS POINTED OUT
MONTANA TAXPAYER POINTS OUT
NEED; SAYS CITIZENS
CAN GIVE AID

The destrability Of cutting. court
costs in these trying times Is brought
out sharply In the latest issue of the
Montana Taxpayer, which points out
the rising costs of maintaining the
courts and the methods In which the
taxpayers can be saved many dollars
FOR l941-1942 there was budgeted
$443, ,564 for district court expense;
$153,896 for county attorneys; $492.-
1888 for county sheriffs, $170,482 for
sheriffs' care of prisoners, and nearly
100000 for justice courts or a total
of approximately 81 100000 county ex-
pense for law enforcement says The
Taxpayer.
District judges are giving careful
consideration to the development Of
more economical court procedure and
to reduction in this 81 100000 tax
bill The Montana Taxpayers associa-
ton asked all district judges how court
expenditures might be reduced. The
replies received from 10 judges were
quite constructive.
Suggestions Made
Many suggestions, based on actual
practice, on how to cut Jury costs were
made.
"Confine jury trials to minimum in
length and frequency"
"Set all jury cases for trial on the
first day Of the term"
Keep calendars up to date all the
time"
Have it well understood that when
a case is set for trial that 1t win be
Of unless strong legal grounds
for continuance appear. It Is ex-
pensive when large part Of the cases
on a calendar are continued"
"In setting jury terms, set three to
five cases per day depending upon the
nature of the cases so that allowing
for settlements, defaults and other
casualties IN trial cases, the Jury viii
be busy each day for the Jury term. ;"
Two judges In one district ex-
changed t1ries rather than having

two judges and the clerk Of the court
have put in considerable extra time
keeping tab on cases and using the
telephone 70 keep jurors advised as
to the time to report.
Judges point out that county attor-
neys can reduce their own expendi-
lures and court costs "by investigating
personally each criminal case filed and
in not filing cases unless there is
sufficient evidence to take the case TO
jury.
County attorneys should take all
statements In the office and not en-
ploy public stenographer or re-
porter"
Judge Calls for Actlen
Judges were reluctant to say how
county sheriffs might reduce their
costs but one Judge was frank enough
to say: Precedent seems to have
been established in Montana that
county sheriffs shall make more
money than most other public or pri-
vate persons and something should be
done by the legislature to reduce this
profitable business. The more costs
added to the public means more
money made by the sheriff"
Some very constructive suggestions
were made that win require legisla-
ton. Two judges pointed out that con-
siderable expense could be saved II
the plaintiff in every civil case re-
quiring jury be required to make
deposit equal TO at least one days
jury fees, or to post bond to cover
the court costs. One judge advocates
the abolition Of justice courts and the
substitution Of one court In each
county presided over by a lawyer on
q salary to try cases Of little conse-
quence and thus relieve the district
courts Of cases costing more TO try
than Is involved in the suit.
How Citizens May Cooperate
"It is the patriotic duty Of all citi-
zens, particularly In this emergency TO
save their own money and public dol
lars. BY using their common sense
civil differences can be settled with |
out court action. The trend In the |
last war was to avoid court contro- |
versies; law work In this war is being |
as shown by court dockets.
Parents should take a greater in
serest TO see that their children are 1
brought up to respect constituted au-
shortty, property and the rights of
0ther people.
when an individual has the sole
dea OF showing I'D some other person
a court he won't have much trouble
finding an attorney who win take his
money and the result is expensive hti-
sa41on.
Taxpayers should use ordinary

horse sense in the selection Of their
law enforcing officers.
citizens should have better sense
In extending credit and particularly
In accepting checks indiscriminately
and then expecting the public to pay
the costs OF a prosecution caused by
their inattention In selling goods or
accepting rubber checks"
Cooperation between citizens, judg-
es, county attorneys, sheriffs. police
officers and justices should result in
saving at least 2O0, 600 tax dollars and
an equal number Of private dollars for
more useful purposes In this wartime
emergency.

Illustrative Of the probable costs Of
farm storage this year, one dealer re-
ported he had given figures covering
the costs Of q number Of structures
l6 feet long and II feet wide. with a
studding height Of eight feet. These
storage bins, complete with two by
skids, with a hip roof, and with all
nails and roofing paper included. win
cost $177 each for materials, he said.
Such structures win hold $50 bushels
of wheat, representing a storage cost
of about. IA cents q bushel He pointed
out that such granaries win last sew
eral years, with the result that the
bushel cost Of the storage should be
spread out over the probable life Of
the building.
As larger granaries are built, the
cost per bushel for storage decreases
markedly, down to about cents g
bushel, he said. In building such
larger granaries, he warned, It is nee
essary to reinforce the side and end
studding with wire or tie rods or sim
liar strengthened construction to pre-
vent bulging and collapse Of the walls.
Dealers we're unanimous in declar-
ing that, while 1t looks now as though
all reasonable demands for granary
materials can be met, there Is no tell
ing when there may be a change in
the situation. They stressed that farm
ers who anticipate q large crop win
do well TO care for their construction
needs as quickly as possible.
They reiterated warnings Of national
farm authorities that general storage
Of the United States Is packed with
carryover grain, with the result that
farmers this year must supply their
own storage or go without.
