Brown, upon request for information in ref- erence to recent changes in the Supreme Court procedure, gave out the following statement, which will be of interest to laymen as well as to lawyers of the state: “There were two reasons for the changes in the procedure referred to, namely, first a desire to check so far as possible the steadily increasing expenses of appeals to the Supreme Court, and second the advisability of overcoming and doing away with certain forms and customs which tended only to delay the hearing and final decision of appeals. “Heretofore the court has for many years held two terms of court annually, and on the first day of each the calendar has been called and the cases set for argument on dates during the succeeding three or four months. The attorneys engaged in the cases have been compelled, under a rule and practice established years ago, to attend on such first day and respond to the cases in which they were interested; for cases not responded to when called in their order would be continued over the term. This re- quirement of attendance was a source of considerable expense to litigants, tfor the attorneys would charge their clients with the expense incurred in attending the court, and also for their time. It was believed that this formality of setting the cases could be dispensed with without prejudice to any one, and the litigants relieved of the unnecessary expense of send- ing their attorneys to St. Paul to attend the call of the calendar, and the old practice is by the new rules wholly abolished. Hereafter the appeals will be set for argument by the court as they come in, and the clerk wijll notify the attorneys of the date. This will do away with the call of the calendar, an out of date form of procedure, and dispense with the useless extra trip to.St. Paul by the attorneys. “The other change reduces the ‘law’s delay’ very materially. To en- able the court to make the changes the legislature was requested to amend certain of the statutes upon the subject, and the request was promply granted. By the amended statute the court was authorized, without call- ing the attorneys in, to fix a time for the argument of appeals, and to re- quire the parties to conform thereto, or suffer an affirmance or dismissal. A rule of court has been adopted by which all appeals must be proceeded with by the appellant within sixty days, and if the rule be not complied with the court will order an affirmance or dismiss the appeal and remand the case to the lower court. Under the former practice the attorneys were authorized to postpone the time for serving the briefs and for hear- ing, from time to time by stipulation, thus often clogging the calendar and delaying final judgment. This right of stipulation has been taken away from the attorneys. The court will no longer recognize it, and the attor- neys must proceed under the rules, and promptly bring the appeals on for hearing, otherwise an affirmance or dismissal follows. *‘Again, cases have under the old practice remained on the calendar term after term, without argument or submission for decision, thus de- laying final judgment. This has been brought to an end. One of the new rules provides that where an appeal remains in the court without sub- mission for decision for a longer period than a year the court will of its own motion affirm the judgment, and remand the cause. “The changes are in matters of procedure, not of substantive law, and will bring about a prompt hearing and decision of all appeals taken to the Supreme Court, and no doubt will meet with general approval. The step, together with the new rules adopted two years ago, is somewhat in ad- vance of the procedure in other states; but the purpose thereof is to pre- vent unnecessary expense and delay, and to bring about a prompt conclu- sion in all cases brought to this court, and is commendable progress in the right direction.” ’ man or woman who has good eye- sight and lives a clean life can be- come a good shot with either rifle or revolver in a surprisingly short time by persistent and conscientious practice, aided at first by advice from more experienced shooters.
