The enterprise-recorder. (Madison, Fla.) 1908-1933, 1910-11-24

saut and battery with or without malice aforchought
tas the law books say on the Constitution made and
provided by the revolutionary Fathers and they (the
awyers) come out strong on oraory- the galleries
are crowded.
We are told by no less an authority than the New
York Evening Post real nice and conservative paper
THERE ARE 42 LAWYERS IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE RIGHT NOW
And that majority OF the forty-two are attorneys
for Trusts and Corporations.
If planly appears from these plain figures that the
LAWYERS have the big bulge the rest of mankind when
n cnmes to representation in the higher branch OF the
country s laW-mallng body
Proportion is not only good rule to apply in figuring
labor and hire income and outgO and all other things,
but if is THE PARTICULAR rule most particularly ap
,liad to representative government
Leaving the other states to manage things TO" thcm
selves we will apply this rule to THIS STATE and see
Forida, according to R. G. Dun & Co., has 8 500 bus
mess men, There probably some that Dun has over
looked So let's call it ten thousand.
We have in our midst some twelve hundred lawyers
balonoin TO the State Bar Association There
who don't belong and to show a liberal spirit we will
uut the number of lawyers in Florida at two thousand
So there should be Is as many lawyers as business
men in the United States Senate from Florida.
At present there half many lawyers as business
men representing Florida in the United States Senate;
Thus is the equitable rule Of proportion brokenor bad
~ bent Florida is not allowed but two senator's and
there should be l-2 business men and 3-lO OF lawyer
10 preserve the law of proportion from violation.
But the people Of Florida not to be satisfied with
9O of lawyer to serve them in the United States Sen
ate they demand whole lawyer, and an extra good
one too They have him in the person Of Duncan u.
Fletcher whose senatorial term runs until 1919
To save this acutely disproportionate situation al
home and to help down the professional preponder-
anca in the Senate-whcre the lawyers now have near
W 6ftv per cent of the votethe people Of Florida must
act wisely and with judgment Whetted to Keen as
elimination by the pending emergency
True TO the professional habit of keeping the legal
oagIa eve on the main chance TWO lawyers are now
r,g 10 get the seat OF ONE business man now IN the
Senate from Florida, 49, ,, ,,,,r, ,r, ,rrrr,,r,
