Another consideration. insofar as Utah is concerned. is that the Utah State courts are carrying a considerable load of cases which normally would be filed in the Federal court. Furthermore. a check which I have made indicates that there has been a decrease in removal of cases from State to Federal courts in the past 4 years. In naturalization matters. for example. both State and Federal courts have jurisdiction. In Utah it has been the practice in the past for the State courts to process naturalization petitions to a large extent. With two judges available. more of these proceedings would be routed to the Federal court. thereby relieving the State courts of this load. In addition. the presence of a second judge will help insure that the pressure of the caseload in Utah will not result in cases being tried too hastily.
