Vo Wanvts .Legislature To Fix Salaries Of Judges! During an interview on the proposed amendment to be offer- ed to the electors of the State regarding the increase of courts justices and judges over the State next month, William A.! Hallawes, State’s attorney of the' Fourth Judical District, had the| following to say: It is to the interest of the voters, and all of the people of the State of Florida, that the proposed amendment to Section I of Article V of the constitution of the State of Florida should be, adopted. This amendment will| be submitted to the electors ofl the State for approval or rejec- tion at the general election to be held in November next. This proposed amendment after nam- ing the courts in which the judi-! cal power of the State shall be vested provides: The Legis-l lature may prescribe the com-| pensation of the justices and] judges of the several courts, but no court heretofore established | under the constitution and laws of Florida shall be abolished.’| It provides that the Legislature may from time to time ordain and establish other courts.’ Scarcity of Judges. “The litigation before the’ courts in Florida is today being delayed because it is impossible for the present number of judges to promptly attend to the busi-: ness before them, so great is its volume. At times some of the | have {actment of laws affecting their most vital rights and interests, can certainly be trusted to deal with the question presented by this proposed amendement. “The constitution, sectionI, ar- ticle v, of which is sought to be amended, was adopted many years ago, and its framers evi- dently did not foresee or contem- plate the growth in population and commercial interests that taken place in the years since its adoption. The present state of affairs is a hindrance and a drawback confronting those having commercial dealings with the people of Florida and per- sons seeking opportunities to in- vest their money in this State.” —Jacksonville Metropolis. THE WHOLE NATION IS GO&NG “DRY” As Henry M. Hyde, writing in the Chicago Tribune, says, there is no more in teresting and re- markable spectacle than the tre- mendous and nation-wide fight now going on between the sa- loon and the anti-saloon forces in this country. Ten states have already voted in favor of state-wide prohibi- tion.They are Maine, West Vir- ginia, North Carolina, Kansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma, { Mississippi, North Dakdta and! Virginia, the latter swinging into the prohibition column only a few weeks ago. Politically six of these states are uniformly democratic and four are republican in their party alleziance. Furthermore, a big fight is be- A.80rrLE orF NN ffiflflf’ o PRESTO CHANGE!

As indicative of the growing sentiment on the subject, at- :tcntinn is called to the fact that state conventions of the progres- sive party in Ohio, Maine, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Mjchigan have declared in favor of state-wide prohibition. Theodore Roosevelt, speaking jat Columbus, Ohio, and Bay City, Michigan, denounced the liquor traffic and urged voters to stand in favor of prohibition.
