ADOPTS MERCER RESOLUTION
State Bar Association Condemns
Ambulance CHASING"

If the coming Minnesota legislature
adopts the suggestion of the State Bar
association it will give the state SUI
preme court the widest latitude in de-
termining what is unprofessional con-
duct by an attorney accused OF acts de-
serving of disbarment or suspension.
During long and spirited discus
sion of the evils of personal injury
practice the association just before
adjournment of it's final meeting at
ST. Paul adopted resolution offered
by President H. " Mercer of Mime
apolis. While the subject was left
undetermined and turned over to a
new committee many members of the
association thought the Mercer reso-
luton offered all the remedy needed.
1t will doubtless figure in the legisla-
ton to be urged by the new commit
tee.
MERGERS resolution asks the legis-
lature to give the supreme court the
power to determine what is unprofes-
sional conduct in any cases not COW
cred by the present laws. II this
passes the court could hold that attor-
neys soliciting personal injury cases
are unethical and could disbar or sus-
pend them.

thither he betook himself promptly,
entertaining himself on the way with
the idea Of a room still hot, with ia

Of the black hours and whence he
should issue on the morrow with an

ENFORCE THE LAW.

The board Of aldermen is entirely right in
refusing 70 grant the appropriation Of $4,000
asked by the vice commission with which 70
prosecute It's investigation into the moral con.
dltions OF Richmond.
Every member of the commission probably
knows q the existence Of vice and the location
Of the segregated district. and If he or she does
ho' the police do. and can easily point out these
places. Il is not necessary to spend money in
hiring private detectives 10 tell the people of
Richmond what they already know.
The thing for the vice commission to do is
to get busy and see that existing laws are en-
forced, and rid the city Of these places of vice
The police can render them all the aid neces,
ssry and doubtless will be glad 10 do so if they
are backed up by the strong influence of the
members Of the commission.
Alderman Fuller sized up the whole situation
when he said Everyone knows that we have
commerciaIlzed vice. gambling and the sale of
liquor IN disreputahe houses. The police de-
par'mcnt knows this and the only remedy Is
the enforcement of the laws 4"
That's the whole situation in nutshell.
and The vice commission doesn't require an ap-
preparation Of even three cents to begin it's work
at once.
