Frederick N. Judson. 21 Yale Law Journal 659 (June). "Whatever is done, we should not make im possible the remedying of the existing deplor able defects of our judicial system, which have been the outgrowth of our political conditions, by further degrading the judicial office through impairing judicial independence. On the other hand, while simplifying and expediting the procedure of removing, upon due hearing, the judge who dishonors his office, we should direct all of our efforts to the elevation and dignifying the judicial office, in enlarging the judicial discretion, and thus securing needed reform in the prompt administration of justice, and further insuring the judicial independence which is essential to a self-governing people." "The Recall of Judges." By Senator Robert L. Owen. 21 Yale Law Journal 655 (June). "The federal judges should be elected subject to recall by resolution of Congress. This policy should be pursued to keep them in sym pathy with the matured judgment of the Ameri can people. "The same reasoning which justified the state in the control of the state judiciary applies to the federal judiciary with equal force and conclusiveness. . . . "Thirty-five states have three ways of re calling judges — impeachment, automatic re call and legislative recall. Forty-eight states have two ways of recalling — impeachment and either legislative recall or automatic recall by fixed tenure." See Direct Government. Sales. See Contracts.
