Popular Election Of Judges Decreases Fificiency On Bench, Harley Declares By WILLIAM ELMERI The amendment proposing non- partisan election of judges that will be put up before the voters of the State this Monday, may, if approved, decrease the efficiency of the bench rather than increase it, Herbert Har- ley, secretary of the American Judi- cature Society stated yesterday in an interview. However, MrV Harley said, the voters are very likely to approve the amend- ment because they are so confident in their ability to manage matters of political nature. This confidence has been established in them through the ever-expanding policy of putting poli- tical questions, even judicial questions up to the voter. Voters Are Incompetent "The absurdity of this belief," Mr. Harley pointed out, "is obvious when we stop to think that very few of the voters have any idea of the quali- fications of a judge. And very few" voters are competent to judge qualifi- cations for a judicial office of any particular lawyer. The result is that most voters will vote for the nomina- tion and election of candidates who can make the most pleasing speeches and the most appealing promises." The Wayne County Circuit Court' has at the present time an excellent system of _administration. Detroit people fear that a swing favoring the' Democratic party might disrupt this system in the next election, Mr. Har- ley said. Years ago the court lacked direction, with no judge to allocate the work, the result being that dock- ets became overloaded to the point that jury trials were not tried for three years after they were entered. Efforts were made by Michigan law- yers and legislators to correct this by introducing a bill in the State legis- lature. In doing so, they were guided by the successful experience of the Cleveland Bar Association which se- cured a law providing an executive judge. The Michigan bill called for such an executive judge to admin- ister the work of the Wayne County circuit court judges. But influential judges opposed this bill. They prom- ised Governor Groesbeck that they would appoint sucp a judge volun- tarily. The judges lived up to this promise and with the appointment of Judge Ira W. Jayne, the Wayne County Circuit Court was brought up to a level of efficiency equal to any large city court in the United States, Mr. Harley declared. 1935 Election Satisfactory In the 1935 election, people who understood this arrangement feared that some'of the judges would be de- feated, thereby destroying this fine record, Mr. Harley said, but t56y made a desperate fight and preserved this successful system of cooperative administration. "Now, if party lines are abolished, the judges of this court being well known to the public, will prettly well be assured of reelection," Mr. Harley said. "But in the next election in 1941, many of the present judges will' be too old to continue in office and the possibility is very likely that feel- ing at that time will result in the election of judges who prefer, as so many do elsewhere, to be without effective supervision." Patriots Like Supervision Nevertheless, there are many patri- otic voters who have confidence in, the principle of supervision, Mr. Har- ley said. They think that difficult problems of government are best solved by presenting them to the elec- torate. The result is, Mr. Harley de- clared, that the last vestiges of re- sponsibility on the part of legislative and executive officers is destroyed. Wherever there is a successful form of government, it is founded upon in- dependent responsibility of officials' just as successful business is founded. "There is nothing new about non- partisan judicial nominations and elections," Mr. Harley stated. "Ohio has had such a system for many years. And while the system suits some of the people and most all of the politicians perfectly, it is bitterly regretted by those who have a true picture of conditions. One can't con- demn non-partisan elections, how- ever, and then turn around and de- fend party elections of judges. How- ever, judges-Democratic or Republi- can-have virtually never been ac- cused of deciding cases from partisan prejudice. They rarely get/any such case, anyway." The main defect of our present party nominations is that first one party and then the other succeeds in having their candidates elected, so that judges are, often defeated for reelection, Mr. Harley said. "Fear of having a short tenure therefore pre- vents the more able lawyers from candidacy and this fear may likewise dominate the thinking of judges. They see that they must be good politicians whether or not they become able judges. But under the present system at least, the politicians do the work of getting the candidates elected and they must, to a certain extent, secure a fairly good man to keep their own reputation." The ideal method, Mr. Harley pointed out, would be to have a state p u b I i c non-partisan commission, which would nominate three or four candidates for each judicial vacancy and then the governor would appoint from that number. "There is no certain harm in turn- ing a politician into a judge. He may become a good judge. The curse of. the elective system is the conversZ, that it turns almost every judge into a politician."

Bill Imposing Ethical Dental Code Shelved Lower House At Lansing Returns 'Hot' Measurel To Health Committee LANSING, March 30. -(PA- The' House of Representatives sought to learn today why one or its "hot pota- toes"-a bill imposing a strict ethical code on the dental profession-was so hot. The chamber sent the bill back to the public health committee for fur- ther study at the request of Rep. Charles R. Feenstra, (Rep.), Grand Rapids, who said he had heard rumors concerning activities by pressurel groups interested in the fate of the legislation. Motion Fought On Floor Feenstra, a member of the health committee that released that bill, told the chamber "'I have heard since that this is a hot potato and I want to know what makes it hot." His motion provoked a floor fight with Reps. Fred J. Gartner, (Dem.), Wyandotte, and Warren G. Hooper, (Rep.), Albion, the sponsors of the measure. Gartner charged "steam roller" tactics were being employed to take the bill from the floor. Possible Money Interests Feenstra said he did not intend to' have the bill killed in committee, but was interested only in determining whether there was any truth to charges that "money is interested in this thing" and in bringing the facts into the open. The measure would prescribe strin- gent ethical practices in the dental profession, would banish the word "painless" from advertising and pro- hibit "fancy and unscientific" words in dental advertising. Phelps Attacks American Relations Weakness (Continued from Page1) ] Finance declared that such action was necessary since Argentina has ihad a bad year and, as a debtor na- tion, needs to reduce imports and create a favorable trade balance. If rigorously applied, Professor Phelps said, this provision will decrease American exports to Argentina by approximately 40 per cent. If the United States will ratify the recommendation of the Sanitary 1Convention, Professor Phelps said, it ! will go a long way toward improving Argentine-American relations. He expressed the belief that if the Unit- ed States took such action, which would not be injurious to American cattle raisers, because of the rela- tively small amount of Argentine meat products which would come in- to the United States, Argentina would raise the restrictions it placed on American imports in the recent ac- tion by the Ministry of Finance. I CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 30.- (Special to The Daily)-Precipitated by the recent shooting of a University of Illinois student, at a Negro vice resort, reorganization of the Cham- paign Ku Klux Klan. was announced yesterday by C. J. Walters, local "kleagle" of the hooded terrorists. Although Walters asserted that the revived Klan "would not preach race hatred," he also indicated that it will attack Champaign's Negro vice oper- ators as part of its campaign to "pre- serve civic morality" in the college town.
