Federal Judge John C. Knox, Democrat, a judge ‘appointed by President Wilson and a citizen who voted for President Frankhin DeJano Roosevelt, opposes the President’s plan for reorganizinz the courts. He was a witness before the Senate Judiary committee. Some of the things he said before ‘that committee apparently were not earried by the press services. A recent review of some of his statementsapbune. Most of the fireworks aroused by the President’s court plan have centered around the changes, commonly called the “packing’’, of that body. To add. six new judges in order to influence the court to a more ‘“liberal interpretation of the Constitution” obviously in line with the New Deal philosophy of government, has received the major share of public zattention. Judge Knox, however, points out that the reorgaization of the lower Federal courts, providing “as it does for the appointment of 25 to 50 new Federal judges, if anything is even more vicious. The sum of the changes proposed that he demands Congress shall pass it, to quote Judge Knox, SOM SCOL TS sinister aspect to every man who upon principle is opposed to the use of stacked decks of cards.’’ Under present conditions when a Federal Court becomes congested and business accumulates, in any district, take New York for example, the senior judge requests the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to assign another Federal judge from some other district, where business is perhaps not so brisk. The Chief Justice studies the ealendars of other districts and perhaps finds that in Northern Ohio, the judges are not too busy to spare one of their number for the temporary work in New York. The Chief Justice accordingly communicates with the senior judge in Northern Ohio, and he in turn delegates one of the district judges in this district: The judge so delegated however, mayor may not except the appointment, but usually does so, and if not, some other judge either in that district or another, finally accepts the post. He goes to New York and takes up whatever case may be assigned to him by the senior New York judge. Under the Roosevelt plan a proctor would be appointed to the Supreme Court who would “recommend”’ judges to the Chief Justice for appointment to these temporary assignments. The proctor m@y or may not be a man of legal training, but in any event he is a political appointee. Now note how neatly all. parts join to make the whole. Under the President’s bill these 25 to 50 lower court judges are to sit wherever their services are ‘‘needed.”’ (Needed by whom?) They would have a roving commission, so to speak, being assigned to whatever case the proctor in his discretion might deem advisalble. : In a set-up of this kind, Judge Knox points ‘out, there would be ready to the President's hand-a ‘fly ing squadron” of judges, assigned to tor might think necessary, today perhaps in the New Deal interest, and “economic royalists.”” Any measure dear to the heart of the President, whether New Deal, Old Deal or Rotten Deal, in which the question of eonstitutionality arose, could be assigned under the proposed Roosevelt system to a deeply sympathetic judge. Judge Knox tells how he, as a district judge, might be affected when about to-try a case in his own court. It is a case which comes -0 him by the automatic working of the calendar: The judge, having finished one case, turns to the next -one on the calendar Judge Knox calls it ‘‘ a case between oe United States and John Citizen.’ “T go to my courtroom; “As I-prepare to step upon the bench and engage in the trial of the case I am confronted by a man I never Saw . before. Introducing himself, he tells me that he is a recently appointed judge from a district in the North, South, East’ or West, and that he has been specially assigned by the chief justice to try the ease of the United States against John Citizen.

Glee County Seat Paper ~ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Ge = FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1937 Sr ee NEW OREBODY OPPORTUNE MINE MAY PROVE RICH The new ore body recently discovered at the Opportune mine by Tom Winrod, and his son Carroll, gives promise of’one of the great lode discoveries that have been’ made in the Sierra County district. Following up a trace discovered by Winrod last year a free milling vein of ore running from $10 per ton to high-grade has been recently exposed for a distance of 150 feet with neither extremity of the shoot being so far located. Width of the vein is reported from two. to six feet, and several spots.producing ore showing free gold readily. In addition a large intensive mass adjacent to the vein has been found to carry ore only slightly under those of the vein itself and enrichment of wall rocks is reported to be extensive enough to create a large body of low grade ore. Engineers who have been on -the property state that the size and richness of the vein is best exemthe owner, LOVE’S LABOR WON'T BE LOST FOR SETTING DUCK . . The wild mallard duck which has been cared for by Fred Sauvee of the Union Ice company that has never strayed from . Deer Creek just back of the ice plant for over two-years and which has rated front page news two or three times, should now be eligible to membership in the Cham-. ber of Commerce and other local clubs as she is rapidly becoming an old timer. This spring she again laid a large nest full of infertile eggs. After setting several weeks workmen at the ice house through sympathy, broke up the nest. And the: eggs exploded like eannon fire crackers. The determined duck proceeded to lay another lot of eggs and set. Lately Myearly everyone visiting the Sauvee home or ice plant were asked if they had any fertile duck eggs. Finally it was suggested calling “Long John’ Tognarelli and as usual big hearted John robbed his own duck hens to give Sauvee five duck eggs. The ‘‘water front’ crowd has checked the calendar and is patiently waiting the 28 days. : plified by the fact that the erosion several thousand tons of satisfactory mill run ore in the hillside soil below the contact along which the vein lies. Location of the find is 1000 feet south of the original Opportune shoot, four miles north of Downieville, and was discovered in 1932 and pan prospects between the two indicate. further values to be expected. Experts state that conditions surrounding the discovery are most unusual for the districtand are of ‘such character as to give great depth to the values. Surface work is being carried on ‘in an effort to locate the exact exltent of the deposity and as soon as. limits are reached sinking will begin. Plans for final operation will be made known at a later date, though it is understood with the large tonnage immediately available a suitable reducing plant will be installed by mid-summer. Details of the ore body will be published at a later date, as soon as mining classifications are complete, and it\is believed new impetus will be given o prospecting in Sierra county contacts in search of the same or similar types of ore.

Children who wish the use of a towel and locker pay 10 cents. Work on the new filter is going forward rapidly and it is expected to be ready for operation within two weeks, ’ sode would undoubtedly lead to the beginning of public suspicion: “The evening papers record the episode, and thereafter the public watches the proceedings with lively interest.’ Then Judge Knox describes the subsequent proceedings: ‘The presiding judge directs a verdict —in favor: of the government. Perhaps he should have done so, oT perhaps he should have decided in favor of the defendant. In any event the defendant, John Citizen, takes the suit to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Upon his appearance in that tribunal he now again finds upon the bench a man of whom he has never pefore heard, a recently appointed circuit judge who has been specially assigned. Once again the newspapers comment. Cynics smile knowingly, and a guarded editorial or.two appears in the press.” : John Citizen appeals the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. There John Citizen finds the six new justices whom the President will have appointed under the pow ? FIRE RAZES BEN BOST’S BARN IN GOLD FLAT Fire destroyed Ben Bost’s barn in Gold Flat yesterday afternoon. The property abuts on the road leading to the Mohawk mine.
