within a week or two after the ease is finally before the court. It wasn't long ago that cases were on the dockets for two to four years and a litigant felt extremely fortunate when the suit was decided within a year. The supreme court has been keeping up with its work for sometime now and the appeliate court got up with its work during the past year, Both courts now are handling the cases as fast as they come in. The war is helping the situation in that there is a decrease in the number of appeals.

161 Opinions. RECORDS IN the clerk's office

ghow that the six appellate court judges handed down 161 opinions and the five supreme judges, 122 in 1943. This is an average of 26 opinions apiece for the appellate judges and 24 for the supreme. (One of the appellate judges, Edgar Blessing, has been off the bench for several months because . of illness.) "The opinion records of the respective judges follow.

AMONG THE things about Indiana's state government with which the public generally can be satisfied is the speed with which both the ‘supreme and appellate courts dispose of the cases brought before them. The average case is now decided within three or four months after notice of appeal is first filed and six months is practically the maximum, pecords in the court clerk’s office show, Some opinions are handed down

tJ Ld o

Oppose Proposal MOST JUDGES on both courts are opposed to the often-made proposal (Governor Schricker made such a suggestion to the legislature last year) that the ap= pellate court be abolished and two members added to the supreme court, thus cutting four $10,000-a-year judges and their secretaries off the payroll at a total savings of a round $50,000 a year. On the basis of the nuinber of cases decided last year, each member of a seven-man supreme court would have had to write one opinion a week during the periods the courts are in session. Both courts are usually recessed three months each summer.) One opinion a week is too many to do well, say the judges. And seven men on the supreme court would have a much harder time reaching an agreement than do five men. Some times several weeks are spent in arguing on a case. = 2 2

Candidate Boom THE WAY IT looks now, there will be plenty of candidates for the G. O. P. congressional nomination from this district. Mrs. Fern Norris, district vice chairwoman, is expected to announce her candidacy this week, and petitions are being circulated to draft Capt. Ralph E. Updike of the marine corps, a former congress~ man. T. Ernest Maholm, Indianapolis criminal lawyer, already has filed his declaration of candidacy and there is talk concerning any number of other people. Capt. Updike, who was unseated by Congressman Ludlow, is now in Washington assigned to the navy department. He was wounded five times in world war I and was hospitalized <in Guadalcanal this war. It is evident, from the interest being shown, that the Republicthink this is the year in
