Bender Defends Bill to curb Justices and Mayors Courts
Columbus Feb 15 The Bender and Johnson bills to curb jurisdiction of justices and mayors and their courts were discussed in the senate judiciary committee. Bender urged passage despite Anti-Saloon League opposition, but offered no amendable text and the committee adjourned without a report prompting charges of dodging the issue. Supporters argued existing system violates American jurisprudence and some officials are profiting from enforcement.
