It has no bearing on who shall be elected Judge this time. Briefly, the idea is that a Chief Justice by the 'people rhould appoint the Judges as vacancies He and the Justices of the Supreme Court should make the Court rules and bs responsible for the way the business of the court is done. A Judge once appointed would hold office for three years. The people would vote on the question, "Shall he be continued in office? The Chief Justice would set forth his record and a rec ommendation which the people could follow or not, as they chose. At the end of seven years, he would again go before the people for a ten year term.

He would always run against his record and not, against another man. At present two civil cases out of five are decided on some tech nicality of some procedure that has nothing to do with the merits of the case. Some courts are overloaded and other courts have nothing to do. Cases are now brought to certain terms, following an ancient and English custom, and the way it works out in Lackawanna County is that if you sued a man before an Alderman on May 17, 1927, and he took an appeal on June 6th, you would be unable to get a judgment, although he had' no defense, until October 4th. At present, a Judge once elected is certain of his term, regardless of how lazy or incompetent he may be.

If competent he is compelled to seek political support for his re election, and may hart to run against a man who may be popular, but without lega! ability. The ideas were originated by a who is so modest that his name is not published.
