LEGAL AID FOR SOLDIERS

Pointing out the greater necessity for legal aid to soldiers during and immediately following the demobili zation period than when they were being inducted into service, the Ma tional Council of Defense has wired the Arizona State Council of De fense, asking that plans for the con- tinuation of free legal aid for the men in the service be made at once.
 As most of the people of the state are aware, the attorneys of the state have periodically given advice and assistance to men in the service from the time they were mustered up to date. They have assisted in making out questionnaires for the registered, have given legal assistance to the , families of the men in service and now they are asked to continue this i fine practice for the men as they emerge from military into civil life. There is no doubt but that the patrf- { otic attorneys of the state will readily comply with this request and new call upon their legal skill.
 Tn a telegram to the Arizona State Council of Defense the national body points out that Adjutant General liar ris of Washington, D. C., has request ed the field division to ask the states to continue their legal aid commit tees to give free legal advice to re turning soldiers under the civil re lief act The need of competent legal aid in the Rehabilitation period is even greater than before, says the message, since the soldiers are pro tected from litigation only so long as in the military service while the sol dier becomes a civilian in the.eyes of the law two months before he ceases to wear a uniform For this reason prompt action is necessary to secure full protection under the civil relief act. ''This legal protection is a duty the people owe the soldier" concludes the message from the National Coun cil of Defense.

PUBLIC IS DEEPLY INTERESTED

The mining industry as a whole has been running short handed for the past six months or a year. Many small mines have been forced to close due to shortage and high cost of labor and material. By spring and early summer it is believed con ditions will be such that many small mines can again operate and the larg CT mines will be in position to take on additional men.
 Of course this theory is predicted on the fact that there will be a con- tinued demand for western copper and other metals. It alsS illustrates in most forcible manner the necessity of maintaining and encouraging the mining industry and as soon as pos sible relieving it from hampering in per producers have suggested that the government buy the present float ing supply of copper at official price and then leave the business witl ut further attempt to regulate prices.
 The general public is deeply inter- ested in prosperity of the mines as they are one of our greatest distriSu- tors of wealth and employers of Ia bor at good wages.
 Vicious tax measures and uncalled for regulation can make or break this industry.

retained, although It will be modi-
fed In details to meet changing needs
Of the public.
1t is apparent that within the next
few years the universities, colleges
and professional and technical schools
must provide for the education of a
great body Of students whose mental
attitude will be entirely different
from that Of the youngsters with
whom they have dealt Instead Of
boys, they must take care Of men;
men who have seen and undergone in
year and a half more than their
predecessors In classroom and dorml-
tory saw and underwent in all their
lives. These men have lived under
discipline; they have done great deeds
and will want to get out into life.

In many cases the financial prob

pressing. There has been heavy loss
Of tuition fees, resulting In confusion
and in many cases In hardship. The
disruption of faculties Is another mat
ter that will require much thought
and careful rebuilding. In many
cases professors and instructors who
have entered the public service will be
retained in 1t long after their old
schools have been obliged to reorgan-

to return to their foEmer work, and
substitutes must be found TO fill their
places. Moreover, what will be the
attitude of bronzed, If not bearded,
veterans toward inefficient, soft, unin-
spring teachers? Such there have
been in the past. Can they endure

in the trenches and the camp?
