Address by Lobticll.

The keynote of the address this at
ternoon by c. E. Lobde1l, president of
the association on ''Why Be Law
yer?" was that a man should be
lawyer only if he can subordinate
every idea to the attainment of JUS
tice.
The legislature will be asked to give
the members representing Kansas at
the conference of the commissioners
on uniform state laws at washington
definite legal status and to provide
for the payment of their expenses.
Judge Aliens Report.
Judge S. H. Allen of Topeka, chair
man of the committee on uniform
legislation and amendment of laws.
had the following to say in his report
this afternoon on this subject:
Your committee again calls atten-
ton to the fact that no law has yet
been proposed by the legislature OF
this state providing for the appoint
state laws or making DIVISION for the
payment of their expenses in attend
ing the conferences or giving them
any legal status whatever. Honorary
appointments have been made by the
governor and those who have attend
ed the conferences have paid their
own expenses. Kansas does not con-
tribute to the general expense of the
conference. These expenses are now
borne in part by few states which
make appropriations for that purpose
and the balance is made up out Of the
treasury of the American Bar associa-
ton. Your committee recommends in
this regard that an earnest effort be
made to procure the passage Of an
act Of the legislature giving the COM
missioners representing this state a
definite legal status ana providing for
the payment of their expenses in at
tending the annual conference. An
act has been prepared and will be in
troduced in the legislature for that
purpose, but without an earnest effort
on the part of this association. it prob
ably will fail again as it has many
times before"
