Dissent in Wallace- Kositzky Matter REVIEWS STATE FINANCES | ' Judge Robinson of the North Da- kota supreme court sees in the action brought by Tax Commissioner George E, Wallace against State Auditor Carl} Kositzky in an effort to compel the | latter through a writ of mandamus | to pay the former’s salary for the} month of August a political coloring and an effort to use the supreme court | for political purposes. lows: Saturday Evening Letter. (By Justice J. E. Robinson.) Do you care to know how the judges grind out their decisions? Last week we concluded the hearing of argu- ments on a calendar of thirty cases. Those we purpose to decide before October 14. Now, as there are five judges, and six times five make thirty, to each judge there is allotted the task | of formulating and submitting an} opinion or proposed decision in six of the thirty cases, and in addition, each judge must examine such opinions as ! may’ be submitted in the twenty-four | other cases. In each case he must concur or dissent by signing the opin- ion or by writing a special opinion | of his own. When all the judges con- cur the opinion is filed with the ‘clerk j and it’ becomes the decision of the | court; when only three or four judges concur the opinion is filed with the clerk and it becomes the decision of the court in ten days after the filing. That is done pursuant to a rule of} court adopted during the present year. The rule makes it no longer possible! for one or. two judges to delay and hgjd up a decision for six months or a year. Formerly that was no uncom- mon occurrence. Judicial courtesy was extended to the point of absurd- ity, just the same as senatorial cdurt- esy. Commencing this week I had on my work table the record and briefs in six cases alloted to me. In four cases, ; the easiest and simplest, I have writ. ten and submitted opinions, leaving to the last the two cases which re- squire the greatest consideration. That is, the Money and Credits and the Workmen’s Compensation cases. As you know, once upon a time [| frequently gave to the press my own opinions in advance of a long delayed concurring or dissent by the other judges. That, was contrary to rule, but it was done as a protest against the delays. 1 grew tired of having my. good decisions held up for months. You know, as the scripture says: No man lighteth a candle and putteth it under a bushel. Another reason for giving out opinions in advance was; to ridicule the habit of writing long winded or whale decisions and to show how easy it is for a judge to write any decision in a clear and concise manner so that it may be easily read and understood, and so that it may be published in the newspapers. The common people should have a chance to read the decisions. Some day, when time permits, I pur- pose to write.a general review of the state tax levjes and expenditures and to show how ‘absurd it is for the state to divide its money into forty or fifty different funds and insist that all its general expenses must be paid out of what is known as the general fund. It is the same as if a farmer were to put all his money in a dozen banks or stockings, and not put enough to pay running expenses in the general ex- pense stocking.. That is the condition of the state at the present time. The state has a‘large deposit in ev- ery bank, with millions in its own bank, and yet in the general fund there is a shortage so that the state auditor has not been able to draw his warrants upon the general fund for all the current expenses. Hence, on September 5, to secure’ his salary for the month of August and to obtain f@ preference over prior claims, the tax commissioner commenced a man- damus suit’ against Carl Kosit: state auditor. Three judges deci that the auditor should have drawn his warrant for the salary, and two judges dissent. One reason of my dissent is that the’ procedure has a political coloring and that its real purpose was not merely to obtain a month’s salary in advance’ of other claimants, and that our court must not. be used for any, political purpose. Then, the case presents a question of | common courtesy and’ politeness which should prevail among all state’ offi- cers, if not among newspapers and editors —James E. Robinson. “THE: UNPARDONABLE SIN.” What will probable surpass in im- portance any previous motiony picture event in’ the history of Bismarck will be’. the- engagement of “The Unpar- donable Sin,” .. the. extraordinary epic photoplay . -starring Blanche Sweet, from the‘daring< story «by Rupert Hughes, which was first-serially pub- lished”inone>of-the-leading magazines The letter fol- iF | this and later in book form, selling into the iillions of, copies, “The Unpardobnable Sin” ts one of the most pretentious sereen plays that has ever been attempted, and has been completed after months of painstaking effort with the expenditure of mere real money than has been enlisted in the aid of any photoplay produce within the past ity e years, Mr. Hughes’ story, has been spokew of as one ‘ot the most compelling tales of love and adventure ever filmed and reviews of the picture made by im- portant critics througout the country pay high tribute to Marshall Netlan, the director, who temporarily deserted his direction of Mary Pickford to pro- duce this great special attraction, Those who see “The Unpardonable Sin” will be particularly interested in the work of the star, Blanche Sweet, for it returns her to the screen after an absence of more than two yi Miss Sweet won her spurs and wa titled to rank as one of the great stars of the day, in some of the best pictures produced by D, W._ Griffith, Who has given the public such things ag “The Birth of a Nation,” “Intole- rance” and “Hearts of the World.” “The Unpardonable Sin” is scheduled ‘0 open at the Auditorium theatre, starting Monday, October 6.
