Another Judge for Salt Lake Bench. Five district court Judge for" the Third Judicial district are provided In a bill Introduced In tho senate yesterday yester-day afternoon by Senator S. J. Stoo-kej, Stoo-kej, of Salt Lake. The bill amonds section 669X of chapter 3. titlo 1C, compiled laws and adds a now section to bo known as section CC9X1. It Is senate bill 12L By tho clause added the govornor is authorized to appoint one district Judgo to make up the flvo within 30 days after passage of the act whose j term of office shall be until tho first Monday In January, 1913. and until his successor Is olected and qualified. The necessity for another Judgo In the Third district is one that has been long discussed by the legal profosslon of Salt Lake. Though the present four judges are at work all day every day the work is far behind and litigation means a matter of considerable time In the Utah metropolis. The Third district Includes Summit and Tooclo counties and when a Judge is forced to leave tho city tho work here already al-ready far In arrears is considerably disorganized. Regulates Conduct of Justice Courts. A bill Is to bo Introduced in the house within a day or two, amending the present law relating to JubUcos of the pcaco and providing that no Justice Jus-tice of tho peace and providing that no Justice may be associated In busi ness or have his office In connection with any collecting agency or with any other attorney. The bill will be brought In by one of the city members at the Instance of n number of members mem-bers of -the legal profession who hold that the Justices' courts should bo entirely en-tirely free from nny suggestion of undue un-due influence-. This, they assert, would not be the case when a Justlco Is In the employ of a collection ngency as has been tho case in the past or when he is office mate with an attorney practicing before him. The Justice courts, the promoters of the measure say, are even more Important to the avcrago citizen, especially to the working man.than Is the district court, as thefr Jurisdiction covers the sums for which tho working man is liable to come before the court and which means more to him than thousands thou-sands in cases in the higher courts. Tho Joint meeting of the committee on capltol and capltol grounds and the public buildings commltteo ofthe senate wero unable to agreo yesterday morning relative to the Issuanco of $1,395,000 In bonds for the state capltol capl-tol building and $300,000 for a mala building at the University of Utah, and the matter wont over to S'30 o'clock this morning.
