 Bills calculated to prevent the prac- tice of law by anybody other than regularly licensed lawyers, and to de ny to banks and trust companies the right to practice before the probate divisions of the courts of the state, were introduced in the house of repre- sentatives by Mallory of Pima county

 tice of law in such manner that land
 lawyers. as they are now known in
 this state. must be licensed by the
 bar association, as we'll as the repre-
 sentatives of organizations that have
 heretofore been allowed to appear by
 reason of their quasi legal standing.
 Law business is described as that
 duty involved in drawing a petition,
 presenting the same. getting up any
 paper or appearing before any court
 of record. commissioner. referee or any body, board, committee or com
 mission, or acting in representative capacity before any such organiZa- ton for a consideration. And all this
 is prohibited on penalty of fine of
 S25 to $500. Further the division by
 any lawyer of his fee with any per son, firm or corporation not composed of lawyers is also prohibited by the same sort of penalty. The second measure referred to also prohibits any trust or banking company from acting as administrator of an estate, executor of a will, or guardian or con- servator of an estate. or the person or personal property of another. The same sort of penalty is attached to this. Both of these measures have the endorsement of the Maricopa County Par Association. This bill has all -eady heen spoken of as a ''conspir- cy in restraint of trade" and "a per feet trust" Incidentally it is of in
