Leete, W. H. Griffiths, and C. Edmunds were among the Nevada County delegation. The council adopted an important résolution supporting an initiative measure, which will (1) give the Attorney General of California broader powers in co-ordinating efforts of peace officers through the state to apprehend and bring criminals to justice, (2) further remove the judiciary from the vicissitudes of politics, by providing for their appointment, and the confirmation of their appointment by the people; (3) judges the right to comment on tes. .timony, and where those accused of felony fail to testify in their own pel half, the right to comment on that fact; (4) give police judges and jusly north and south, Bive . tion of Mr. Bigelow, and highly . . } i Measure dier J ustice begun in safe-guarding the forests from fire, in opening them up for! recreational purposes, and utilizing their values for timber and pasture to the fullest, should not be halted when prosperous times come again, but that young men without employment, should always be given a chance to work in Uncl Sam’s forests under the same conditions of character building, vocational training and healthful, outdoor life, as those which. prevail in the CCC camps.

WOMEN’S CLUBS BACK MEASURE The resolution was presented by a representative of the California Federation of Women’s clubs and was heartily seconded by Judge Tuttle, who declared the proposed measure would go far toward expediting justice in California. The proposal to give coordinating powers to the attorney general, with authority over California peace ficers will go a long way toward uniting the authorities in pursuit of refugees from justice, so that criminals who seek escape will have all! sheriffs’ officers and police cn their trail immediately a crime is committed. Appointment of judges would Pe made by a committee consisting of the governor, the chief justice, and ‘the president of the State Bar Association, and following the appointment at the first election the people would be asked to vote on whether or not they wished the appointed judge in office. SAVING TIME AND EXPENSE At present there must’ usually ‘elapse a month or more before a person accused of a felony may appear in the Superior Court to plead: Since practically 75 per cent of all apprehended criminals dog plead guilty, it is believed that by allowing them to plead guilty in the justice or police courts, much time and expense may be saved the state. The proposal to permit Superior Judge to comment upon, and to clarfor the jury’s benefit the testi. mony, often confusing and conflicting, it is believed Will help’ juries to reach just: verdicts.
