and rules a very proper ledge beut of experience and correct judgment I 1 tomorrow it is believed that speaker riter will announce his committees mit tees all the councillors councilors Counci lors are now here carlisle and oisen having their way through the snow blockade on collingston collinston Col linston hill and smoot having come up from provo the ilo si lia but on member absent stewart of

1 I 1 montgomery of weber is up to his eyes in work but will have to leave for a day in order to attena the funeral of an ola mend I 1 I 1 councilor 1 of salt ank 0 is deported ie ported to have in preparation a memorial to congress asking for the addition of one judicial district to the I 1 Terri torys present number and tha subsequent appointment of another judge thereby making four instead of three if a result call be at bained the supreme court of lie terri tory may hear cases from any one district without the participation odthe particular judge from whose district appeal Is made the necessity for a reform ot this kind has long been felt it fact this is no news subject but if I 1 marshall should secure the much desired result he may command ills share of the powei and honor usually attending a in the path un successfully adventured many before by of fiers it is by this time almost a trite subject to sul 0 rs in utah be it may ar it little repetition here at present an appeal from a decision in a district court means an appeal to the very judge who maae the decree it is simply asking him to reverse ilia own decision that is to say lie constitutes utes one third of the appellate tribunal and in order to secure a to versal both the ather members of the supreme court must be converted and that too of predetermined rejection of the ap peal this difficulty will all be remedied by the addition of another page and another district to its present judicial sy sterry thuston corrected be Is not the only one existing ith to gard to glahs supreme court for an I 1 objection almost vital will yet remain the whole nature of the courts creation and arrangement is wrong since the who sit to try cans in the district court cannot be expected to I 1 combine into a court of the highest and impartiality suppose for instance that utah have I 1 four judges sitting in four separate districts th these four con tire supreme court of the three of them sitting as the appellate tribunal to hear appeal from a do casion in the court of the fourth today to day judges A 11 and I 1 sitt ohear an appeal from k decree rendered by D A is their fellow austice and naturally they incline to support him and not the less because ilia power is coequal co equal with each of them tomorrow to morrow B C and 1 hit in a pase appealed from the con rt A has already roll dered to them a similar support they hi clitte regardless of ilia finer eions in the case on appeal to tile view asserted in ills decree ibus it becomes a casison casi you my back and ill scratch yours and no judicial system arranged upon any can be absolutely bial or eminently preeminently pre pure k nevertheless tile effort which it Is reported councilor marshall proposes I 1 mike will baye the hearty support aw other thinking I 1 I 1 A I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 e a n utah provided especially that tile court will then have time to attend to territorial business al present though these are territorial tribunals as well an united states courts they seem strongly inclined to avo 8 their attention to united states cases and just as strongly dis inclined to give territorial case i a of a show for hearing the legislature could aid the inove mat at ill present time by attaching the lower part of the airet district to the second and declining iring that such portion of the country thus at tachel should as soon ai s pro for tile fourth judge lie separated ata alart to itself and called tile fourth judicial district of utah teri atory by ills means this part donld be a district itself known m chelli st and then that portion of the country now known as tile 1 end of tile first district would become the fourth district leaving the second still third as now existing this is as to distribution litch closer elamin aaion might not entirely support as for instance it might be discovered by the le awa gwa ture that such would not be the best division of the territory if rodical defect be found in this particular plain such other distribution or division anig lit be made as would best sub serve public welfare but the division addition or connecting of districts Is a matter since it involves dmn fer of causes and es tran ster of records but whatever I 1 nay be thought as to the arran gement of districts hero sm it seems clear that t legislature ought hot to alay this action ia setting apart tile cour itry and p ing for four districts in expectation of favorable action of congress and the appointment of the fourth the chief executive of tho Nation if no step be taken by this legislature and the mentor ial to congress should result successfully the fouch judge would be a shepherd without a flock ile would be a judge without a cour t I 1 except as lie consented to a d ids brother judges OLD billit is quietly hinted that governor west has signified a willingness to sign the appropriation bill if tho last session vetal by that champion vc boer murray of course it will hav to be enacted again but this need not occupy much time therill tee elved ti to most cat eaul and jui clous av ide ration of the former abw ably and the nt i by it ti I 1 ell are al in nearly all if not in every ease ith those of the present the measure is likely to be pissed upon at an early date and next week may see the bid hp W I 1 of the session about which so much has been saida law of ahe commonwealth this is by many a consummation devoutly to withed and one that be fraught with inestimable benefits to the terri tory at large it vill re establish the credit of our territory create confidence fi stimulate trade aria place a peaceful quietus some of the gra vast and most bitterle bitter lk contested eions of tile past between the I 1 aps cps i ture oil the other that this action wl 11 in itself evidence a better har morly of feel iniz between these two important factors of our territorial government none will dispute abeth er are right in our or not we do not see how it could consistently be otherwise than as we have were this doasure brought to the front at the time the failure of this t 1 lon bill two years ago was considered of such grave importance and fraught w bad results to our territory th at 11 ea cleveland deemed it advisable to lay the before congress in a special message and to ammend to that fody a speedy entee dor or ro enactment of the leading features of the bill this however was included in the clamor of opponents for further hostile legislation murray h abing lost official head for his audacious veto of this measure and governor west having been named as ills successor bythe very power from w hoin this recommendation came it seems very likely that the pre eat ex would take very kindly to such a proposition it may be thought that poll cy would derett the union of the al prop bills of the last and pres ent assemblies and their presentation in one bill but it seems that grave objections exist to this this bill was and is all right and the gov arnor would doubtless be willing to sign it in its present shape change its essential features and be could object the now tion bill requires time for its consideration and tire utmost care in its tion many of the larger avenues of public be given a more careful scrutiny than ever before Es bially should this be done in the in atter of territorial Terri tortal court expenses before commiss loners and district courts A competent commission with power to employ be provided for aby law the apty of which should be to examine minutely and duly audit every account of this character before it
