comparatively little carrying capacity.

Some Enormous Fees That Haze Been Paid to American

subject Of contract between the lawyer,

originally, many stories are frequently
heard about disputes between the law
yers and clients concerning fees.
In a certain class of cases contingent
fees appear to be the rule, while among
the better class Of attorneys a case is
rarely ever taken on contingent basis.
With the advent Of the electric rail.
roads, the numerous accidents due to
the changed conditions of public traffic
opened the door to a thriving business
for that class of lawyers commonly
known as Ambulance chasers. AS
the clients in these cases are, in nine
cases out Of ten, probably irresponsible
and unable to respond for the costs Of
the suit if they are defeated, the law
yers of the class mentioned take their
cases and bring actions on the "gam-
ble'' that they will be able to squeeze
something out Of the railroad company.
They figure that they have everything
to gain and nothing to lose, and as
their agreements with their clients
usually provide that they have half Of
whatever is recovered, they can afford
to and do take long chances many times
when they know that their clients were
injured, # at all, by reason of their
own negligence. The very, minute an
action is begun the defendant cannot
settle with the plaintiff without being
respor sible for the lawyers fees, and
therefore the attorney has strong in
ducement to bring these cases with lit

A feature Of barrel making In this

One Of the cardinal principles which

have the opposite effect-the salesman
has simply secured Sone order, and in
getting it he has lost the confidence OF
possible CUSTOMER. 1919.

me, when I was starting out for 2 I4 y
