Bulletin No. 13 issued by the Car
negie Foundation for the Advancement
Of Teaching undertakes to answer the
question.

and quite strong enough to Justify the

shortcomings have been the result OF
changing conditions. We have in the

be n mistake to assume that the cos

number of cases. they work to the ad.
vantage of the dishonest poor. Tht
question, he says, is not primarily on'
as between rich and poor, but concerns
rather the fundamental necessity in {

reach of those who occupy any station
in life. Our civilization rests upon M
honest and sincere attempt to realizt
this ideal.

4 third defect of the law is the ex-

his services will be the same.
The second part of the book considers
the remedial agencies which can be
employed to make the position of the
poor more equal. Small claims courts
with their informal procedure, domestic
relations courts using probation officers
and industrial accident commissions ad-
ministcring workmen's compensation
acts are excellent beginnings meriting
wide extension.
For the multitude of cases beyond the
jurisdiction of these agencies, the re-
port argues that the only solution is to
supply lawyers services gratuitously to
the poor. through the public defepders
in criminal cases and the legal aid Or
ganizations in civil cases.
Part III discusses these agencies in
detail stressing the need for their
rapid development.

ceptions Of American jurisprudence.
Ours is a government of laws and not
of men. To secure impartial laws and
an equal administration of justice the
state itself exists. A denial of justice
is a short cut to anarchy.
He then proceeds to prove by specific
cases that there is such denial of jus
tice that such denial is not merely
negative in effect, but encourages fraud
and dishonesty. One case Is typical. A
glazier undertook TO put twenty two
panes of glass in n barn for $500 He
did the work but didn't get the money.
He went to lawyer who told him his
fee would he SO. lie went to the
Municipal Court where the judge cX-
plained he had neither the time nor the
money nor the right to undertake the
necessary proceedings and that, mas
much MS the expenses would exceed the
amount in dispute, he had better drop
it. As that man told his story, says
Mr.. Smith, he was an incipicnt anar-
chist.

representing a weeks work. On Janu =
airy 10. 1911, the Legal Aid Society
tried his case in magistrate court
and secured Judgment. On February
:, 1911. the defendant appealed to the
Court of Common Pleas. which granted
him a rctrial. On March IL, l0ll, the
plaintiffs claim was filed in the Court
Of Common Pleas and the case marked
for the trial list. Owing to congcstcd
dockcts the case did not actually ap-
near on trial list until February,
| I, 1912.
Here entered a rule of procedure
/ that would be incredible if il did not
exist: A case marked for trial Mon
dav must be tried Monday or Tuesday
or else go off the list entirely: The
wage earuer's case, assigned for tebru
ary Z, 1912, automatically went on the
list. 1t was remarked and assigned for
April 8. 1912. 1t again went off and
Fortunately it was reached and tried
on that date and judgment entered for
the plaintiff. 1t took one year and nine
months and required eleven days in
court for both attorney and client to
collect the original SO.
In the criminal law delay is even
more serious. for where the defendant is
too poor to furnish bail it is equivalent
to n sentence Of Imprisonment for
poverty.
With unifcation of court organization
and simplifcation of procedure un-
considerable delay may be swept away.
Court Costs Reduction Urged
The second defect of the law is court
costs and fees. Costs are neither funda 70
mental nor immutably bound up with
our legal institutions. They are neither
established by our constitution nor the
product of common law They exist
solely as creatures of statute.
The actual expenses in trial court,
exclusive of witness fees, may be re-
