Minneapolis, Aug. 31.—(By the A.

The report de- clared the same bills previously ap proved by sociation will be in- troduced again in Congress in De- cember, and says “it is only neces- sary for the committees to report.” Strong personal opposition may be expected from certain senators, the Teport declares, but a majority in favor of the proposals is assured once the bills come from committees. The bill which it is desired be made a law has for its purpose giving to the Supreme Court of the United States the authority\to make rules governing the entire procedure in cases at law to the same extent that it now has power to regulate the procedure in equity and admiralty and the bankruptcy courts. The report reviews much of the ef- forts and history of the hills intro duced ‘and says the proposed lay “will set the judges and lawyers free to perfect the machinery of the courts for which they are held solely re- sponsible by laymen.” Reduce Number of Bills The American Bar should give at- tention to the “appalling number of bills which become laws during leg- islative sessions” the committeee on noteworthy changes in statute law reported to the American Bar Associ- ation. The report was presented by Joseph P. Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, who said: “Many of these acts should never be brought before the. legislatures, but should be settled by the admin- istrative departments interested, or submitted to some form of court of aims and finally passed there. The act passed at the last session of Con- gress permitting the adjustments of certain classes of claims against the United States founded on tort, is a step im the direction of reducing the number of private bills introduced in Congress, “An extension of the principle of home rule would. avoid much special and local legislation, but it will have to be accompanied by a willingness of the locg) authorities to accept re- sponsibility. More courage on the part of the legislature in refusing to assume the duty which properly rests on the local authority, and more courage on the part of the local authority in taking responsibility, to- thet with . willingness on the part rol: ehs to make their appeals {tomi@he*action or non-action of the lotal ;foverning body to electorate and not to the legislature, will help reduce the s of the printed volume of session Jaws.” (Oontinnad on raga Two) Gov.
