They speak of the law's delays, the high costs, useless ities, and the large tium- ‘ber of reversals in criminal tases. =Phis criticism has tended to bring. disrespect upon the. law aera courts, and the public has tossed the problem in the lap of the Florida State Bar Associa- tion with the question, “Why don’t you do something about it?” Lawyers Tackle Problem ~Accepting the challenge, the’ Bar Association, over a six-year period, has been making a thor- ough and careful study of the preblem, calling on the ablest legal’minds in the organization, with a distinguished list of crim- inal lawyers—both prosecutors and defense—in an attempt to write a new criminal code for Florida. The result of this effort will be presented to the 1939 Legislature in the form of a bill entitled, “Code of Criminal Procedure”. The whole spirit of the code is to simplify procedure. The. framers. believe that the one issue in‘ a criminal case is the guilt or inno- cence of the accused. Such a trial is an effort to arrive at.the truth and not a forensic battle between legal adversaries to see which knows the most technicalities and loopholes. The only hope of the} Bar Association is to give to Flor- ida such a code, to the end that justice may be served, sure and speedy for all, and that the crim- inal trials be disposed of on their merits. Salient Points Some of the salient points in the proposed code are: (1) the preservation of constitutional guarantees; (2) a harmless error clause, which should substantially reduce the number of reversals; NEW BUSINESS | ENTERS FIELD | HANDICRAFT_ NOVELTY AR- ‘TICLES ARE NOW It” ”*”! GREAT DEMAND JACKSONVILLE, March 31.— (FNS) A new business oppor- tunity has just been opened up to Floridians, according to Wil- liam L. Wilson, director of State Markets, who recently announced that buyers from large New York department stores had called at his office here in an ef- fort to locate handicraft novelty articles made in America. The buyers sated that most novelties sold in this country have heretofore come from; Czecho-Slovakia, Germany, Italy! and Japan, but that a strong sen- | timent was growing against ar- ticles from these countries. Cus-' tomers do not want to buy them and store owners do not want to sell them, the buyers said. Novelties of wood, shells, fish | j scales, ceramics, novelty glass,! grasses, reeds and palm leaves, | as well as preserved tropical) fruits, are in demand, ‘stated Wilson. “So far,” he added, “the’ sale of such articles in Florida has been limited to tourists visit-' ing the state’” With the entire country asking for novelties by, Americans for Americans, the! opportunities for nationwide sale | of Florida handicraft objects are enormous. It should result in} bringing much additional money ! into the state—and think of the} perfect advertising it would give!

Every honest, right thinking citizen, every fair minded, sin- cere attorney, should favor any more designed to improve the efficiency of our criminal proce- dure, reduce costs, and insure speedier justice. Deserves Careful Consideration The Criminal Procedure Bill, prcpered and recommended to the Legislature of Florida by the Florida State Bar Association, serves ro special or selfish inter- est. It is designed to advance the welfare of the state as a whole and represents the highest type of legislation. It deserves the mos careful and sympathetic consid- eration of our Iegislators and, considering the character and ability of the men who make up the 1939 Legislature, I feel confi- dent it will have. Other states, confronted with a similar problem, have found it necessary to discard usele$s, im> practcial statutes and establish codes to fit the present day. Some sections of our present code date back to 1828. The bill, will be presented by the Bar As- sociation, retains those featares administrax | that are good, while the bad and obsolete features are eliminated to give us a compact code con- taining all of the procedural laws on the subject so that the prac- titioner and the court will have all of the law on the subjgct in one act. ‘Today In History Poccccccscecececeseceses 1492—Edict of expulsion of! |Jews by Spain’s Ferdinand and!
