Louisiana has produced many
eminent lawyers in the past and
among the members of the bar
today may be found men who
would not suffer by comparison
with the leaders of the profession
in any State. AS the work OF
the Code Commission proceeds,
helpful criticism and timely sug'
gestion are needed to enable its
members to present at the ap
pointed time a result that viii
meet the needs of the State anC
J pass muster under the criticism
that will inevitably be directed
against any work of that charac

plates q very sensible change in the
method Of holding the annual elections Of

fore the votes are counted and the result
known. The present plan puts a noun
tain of work upon the teilers and clerks

tutiorlj viii be voted on at the February
