An Inters sting COnund rum for ths
Lawyers.

]
The Bar Association solemnly resolved
on Monday night that the rates for legal
advertising charged by the newspa pers are
t7o high. We might fairly retort by state
ing the universally acknowledged fact that
the fees charged by lawysrs-when they
get good subiect-are too high. Indeed,
the facility with which large estate melts
into legal fees is one of the wonders of the
time. But the lawyers need not complain
about advertising rates; they can always
get them to suit if they are willing to ad-
vertise regardless Of circulation. They can
not, however, get first-class newspapers to
agree to make out bill against the clients
at full rates, and then Civ, half the money
back TO the lawyers as a rebate. At its
next meeting the Bar Association might
try to- answer the conuudrum: /. it strict
ly professional for an attorney to pocket
half the cost of legal advertising at the e1-
pense OF his client?
