A judge declares that a chattel mortgage given underucertein conditions` is: value- less and "cannot be. enforced, while another declares that such an instru-. ment under such conditions is perfectly "good. If these opposite judgments are` caused by the obscurity of the lainguage of `the low the remedy is [plain enough. Express the. law in language so simple that the Wayfaring man though a. , fool need_not mistake it. . . V d Then. the appeals that are made from one court toanothershould be blocked, `One court says a judgment is` just `and right ; a second court to which an ap pealisv carried says it is not; a third court reverses the judgment of the second, and a fourth may reverse the judgment of the_ third, and when the case has been taken to` the court of nal appeal what guarantee is there that its judgment is any nearer_ right than any` of the others whose judg- ments have been reversed? It is just possible, nay, it is probable, that the - litigant with the heaviest purse, -has obtained the victory as against justice and truth, and this conclusion is just? ed by the oppvsite interpretation of the law by` men whose judgment seems equally sound and whose Alegal ability may be equally good. Courts ofappeal, shouldtherefore, in number, he reduced to a minimum. , Law ought to be oheaper. One way to make itso is to sweep out of all legal instruments. the vast amount of verbal trash they contain, the writing and printing of which is attended with oost to the litigant or transferrer of property. There inay be some` reason for the costs in a police oonrt case to be seven or eight times the (ins, but surely there oan be no good reason for the law expenses in a case of damages for the loss of life on a railway, to swallow the greater part of the sum obtained, leav- ing 'a mere fraction for the one for whom the damages werealsimed.' Some are agitating for the abolition of the Division Court. The wisdom of that may be open to discussion. It is certain that a large proportion of _the sums sued for in this -court are small `ones, and if such small sumscould not -be collected by-law, the credit ssjstem, which is a curse to both creditor and debtor, would soon be reduced to small dimensions. The schedule of possible costs in a division court case should be carefully read and inwardly digested by all who are disposed to contract a. debt without a certainty of being able to pay. If _that schedule does not act as a deterrent, nothing else will. We hopethe law reform movement will result, within a reasonable time, in the changesof which both lawyers end people see the urgent `need. `Iain: v wow - v--y--v SclL1:)`o'lul'<;rLI":ebr`iiary. 31'.

V, .S;m,'--In Tan .Anv4Nce'of the 21st February, appeared a, `letter from me under th`eabove`heading,` reverting to apparent crookeclness on; the; part of theliispector "of Liquor Licenses for West Simcoe , asking that government edgling `to explain why he compelled a. certain defendant to go all the.` way from Iv"y to Creemore, a distance of twenty ve miles. - In the next issue of Tax Anvmcn the Inspector did not reply. ' I assume therefore, that no re ply can be made which would be satis- factory to the people and the Inspector. Perhaps g his- highness would prefer answering to the Provincial Secretary, if so, he shallbe gratied. T '._.-_-IJ _.-._..--A.l'__II_ -..I. LL- T.._..--L-.. Sir, -It in town that a_ _temporary government ocial is getting a round robin signed by all the o`i- ciais and employers of the Post Oice Inspector's` department and by all the applicants for the -two vacant government offices in Barrie, namely, the Gollectorship of Customs and the position of Janitor of `the gov- ernment building, pledging them to support the government at the coming "elections. I have heard that the said otcialhss threatened to report any one of these voters to head quarters who refusesrto sign that document, which virmally deprives these men of their rights as free men. n I write you `to inquire if the report is true as I thought you .would be likely to know. Very truly yours, LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE. [We cannot give Liberal Conserva- tive the information he asks. We have heard the report from various sources but have not yet fully veried it.- Perhaps one of the parties who signed this round robin will kindly en- lighten our correspondent through the columns of THE An_vANcs, which are freely offered as a medium a for such information or denial, if it canrbe truth- fully denied.--Isn. ADvANcn.] I n the Inspector how such an enormous amount of costs accrued !- Can he give the items? The -Liquor License.Act provides the neces- sary punishment for its violation, but it does not `provide that a defendant shall be unnecessarily robbed or perse- cuted. ` V i ' - is-lgeihaps whilst his attention is called to these high handed tra_nsactions, he will condescend to explain his dealings with Mr. Brown, of Singhampton. who also was brought to Oreemore, a distance of ten miles, though there are r justices. in Singhamption, Glenhuron and Dan- edin. Mr. Brown did not deny the facts, but they were not such as. to sustain a case, -and, no doubt, Mr. Brown may thank Mr. H. Lennox. of. Barrie, for his liberty, who showed that both the Inspector and Creemore Jus- tice were stupendous , ignoramuses. This happened upon the same day that the Ivy man was tried. Mr. Brown. of course, was allowed to depart in peace, and might consider the incident merely as aording him a holiday out- ing, as the weather was propitious, being during the great storm. `Will the Inspector new show to the -` people that he honestly and fairly dischar es the duties of his oice and that he is a t and proper person to hold the oice of Inspectorof Licenses ! `7'..___ , 4_:_,I , V wwru wu- v Advance Con"-esnondenhoe. _'.We-extend our sympathy to Mr and Mrs. Oourtlandt in the` calamity that has lately hefallen them, but trust.t.hat phoenix like they"will soon again be in a position satisfactory to themselves.

It must be a query to anyone `who thinks, why a municipality or a corpor- ate body Of any sort should expect to- get the labor or goods of other people cheaper than such things are supplied to. private persons; That. they do try to do so, all with whom they have deal`-T .1958, know right we 1. There can, however", he no good reason for seeking to get an article for less than its worth, simply because. it is for the public. The people are as well able to pay for private person. But it is still more re- markable that those who supply these public bodies should almost break their necks scrambling lor the privilege of supplying them for less than it is worth. `Perhaps there is no body of men who so completely, victimise themselves` in this way as printers. Municipalities must have a certain amount of work done, they c'er it by tender and. the printer forthwith offers to do it for a sum that cannot abrd him a reason- able prot for his labor and his stock. There is no necessity for this. If the printers of the country `were true to themselves there would be no such thing as tendering for work of that A" sort. They would set a proper value_ ' on their work, which would be fair for all parties and these bodies would pur ' chase it as other things are purchased- what is needed forpublic purposes as a without badgering and beating down. - H-mono" Give us 9. caand be cotivinced. ~ Nd trouble to aiiow Goods at & SON large consignment of the . . .
