TO GET RID OF shYsTERs
Efforts Of State Bar Association Are
Highly Commended.

~"S' - " Ss0to or eo0oSSAStOU nv
Highly Commended.
The Minnesota State Bar Associa-
tion Is to be congratulated for its
heroic efforts to improve the standing
OF the legal profession with the gen.
eral public.
In the program of their annual
meeting to be held at Duluth, Aug. 8th,
9Th and 10th. the committee on ethics
(moral duty) express themselves as
being desirous of ridding the profess
sion OF lawyers whose conduct vio-
lates their oaths and requires of the
BAR generally a proper standard Of
moral responsibility. They also say
that the public rightly looks to the
bar to purge itself of those of it's
members whose misconduct merits
not only the criticism of the bar but
its disciplinary action.
For years our courts have been
crowded with suits framed up by dis
honorable lawyers, mostly of the per-
sonal damage kind.
The present laws give them the
privilege of bringing suit, present
ing their evidence and getting it dis
missed, going through this operation
four or five times until the victim Of
the plaintiff is completely worn out,
and compelled to make an unreason-
able settlement to prevent being
harassed further.
AS the law now reads a personal
damage suit can be brought against
employers, property owners or house.
holders within five years from the
date OF an accident. In the larger
cities action against the city must be
brought within thirty days.
The expense to the taxpayers of
Minnesota for such framed up law
suits is enormous and the principal
reason for the large increase in taxes
of recent years.
Special attention will be given to
the practice, now so general and so
much condemned, of loading down
the courts of Minnesota with action
by nonresident plaintiffs against non
resident defendants on causes of &C.
tion arising outside of Minnesota.
In a recent issue Of the Pioneer
Press it was stated that the cost to
the taxpayers of Ramsey county alone
for such suits amounted to $4,000 a
year. Unnecessary suit, brought
against residents of the state must
cost as much or more
1t is the purpose of the bar associa-
tion to give the public the same pro-
lection from the so called ambulance
chasers that the city governments now
receive.
The expressed intention of the Min
nesota State Bar Association to rid
the profession of dishonest and shy.
ster lawyers is to be highly CON-
mended and will meet with the ap.
proval Of all Of the leading civic as
sociations OF the state and the pub
lie generally.

Near Accident at DEVILS Turn

The "Devils Turn" which Is the worst
turn on the road east of the village, To-
Gated at Scott's Point was the scene of
narrow escape when Louis Engelson
and Sam Zimmerman, Jr., met at the
worst possible point. Tney we're unable
to see each other until about ten feet
apart, the road being so narrow at the
turn that two autos are unable to meet.
Mr.. Engelson drove his car against the
rock wall to prevent running into the
other car and the only damage was the
smashing of the bumpers which he had
just put on the car. Outside of this, a
bad scare was the only result of the
near accident.

New high record prices for the specu-

Looking for Higher Prices.

Brokers in some Of the most conser.
vative houses In the financial district adj
nit they are still looking for higher
prices in spite OF the big rise which
stocks have already had. They base
their belief on the heavy realizing which
the stock market has been able to TAX
within the last few days without any
sensational breaks or with scarcely a
pause in the advance OF some of the
more speculative favorltes. Brokers say
that even when the market does show
any indications Of selling off there are
always enough buying orders on and TO
check the recession and push prices still
higher. The mere fact that the tremen-
dous pace Is being kept up In Steel COM
mon also convinces many that the big
people" do not intend to let the market
recede for ION time.

4 War Time Paradox.

The discrimination OF three-eighths Of
! per cent, made last week against trade
acceptances Ineligible for rrd'scount at
the Federal Reserve Bank, has been in
creased To one-half of per cent. nv
banks which deal in commercial paper.
At the same time a general hardening
tendency has appeared throughout the
mercantile money market. Old CUSTOM
crs had no difficulty In selling their four
to six months paper AZ 81. per cent. last
week. Yesterday nobody could place
such paper at less han 81. per cent.
These developments synchronizc with IA
horizontal increase Of about ~one-luarter
uf ! per cent, in The time market for
collateral loans, Yet bankers say the
crop moving demand for funds has
reached it's maximum. no money stri,-
gency Is IN sight from any cause. and
they do not expect to use the rediscount
facilities OF the Federal reserve system
in the near future. War time finance
has produced many a paradox, and the
end IL not yet In sight.

SwItchInC.

A switch something like the one that
occurred several months ago from Ken
necott to Inspiration Is now said to be
under way. the trend this time being
from Republic Iron and steel common TO
Railway steel Spring common. Many
people who have been buyers of the for
mer stock are said to be transferring
their accounts to the latter. They are
doing this. II is said. because Railway
steel Spring stock has no accumulated
dividends ahead of II on the preferred
stock. Republic steel preferred still has
an accumulation Of 4 per cent. More
over. spectators believe hat there Is
still r good chance for the purchase Of
the Railway Stee! Spring Company by

former. Even II this deal does not go
through. II is said. the directors of Rail-

that the merger was still under consider
