Constitutional Amendment to Increase Supreme Court Size
A proposed November 1900 Kansas amendment would raise the supreme court judges from three to seven, consolidating northern and southern appellate districts. Officials claim annual savings of about 24,700 and a streamlined appeals process, with costs mainly in clerks and staff. The measure aims to boost efficiency by routing lower court appeals directly to the supreme court.

New Court Plan Aims at Annual Saving of State Costs
Proposal outlines seven supreme court judges at two thousand dollars each, seven stenographers at twelve hundred, plus a clerk and assistant clerk, totaling thirty two thousand dollars annually. The new system promises substantial savings over present courts, centralizes at Topeka, and reduces travel costs for litigants and lawyers, though political opposition from party speakers is noted.
