LAWYERS SEEK
SIMPLER CODE
Bar Association Is Told Drift Is To-
ward Complexity and Con-
fusion.

st. Louis, Aug. 27.-The drift of law
is towards uncertainty, conclusion
and variation" according to the report
Of the committee on reclasification
and restatement of the law, submitted
at today's session of the convention
here of the American Bar Associa-
ton. The committee suggests that a
simpler recodification of the law be
effected. and that the laws in the va
rious states be more uniform.
Our national aspiration" the re-
port asserts, should be satisfied by
nothing short of leadership, not by
the power of our financial and indus
trial resources of our military
strength, but by reason of the excel
lence of our institutions, our laws, and
the efficient administration of justice.
A certain and Uniform system OF law for
a country so large in area and so di-
vided as to government can be at
tanned only through making plain by
visible expression with the greatest
attainable certainty simplicity, COM
pleteness and order the great system
which has been inadequately ex-
pressed in this country"
The report emphasizes that a clear
understanding of the laws Of the sew
eral states is particularly essential
now because of increasing interstate
commerce.
THE possibility for improvement of
our law cannot be overestimated,"
continues the report. The causes for
the confusion and uncertainty of the
law and the responsibility for them are
matters which are relevant to the
means which may be taken to improve
the law.
"Of these causes it may be remarked
that in complex and progressive sys-
I'm of law there is natural tendency
Tin the absence of counter influences)
to cofusion and uncertainty and, in
a country composed of so many states
with a large number of independent
courts and with no court of ultimate
decision as to a large part of the sub
jects of litigation, this tendency is in
creased.
"One of the counter Influences is the
existence in all the states of identical
institutions and the same system of
fundamental principles called the COM
mon law, but under the conditions
which exist the principles of this the
oretically identical law have themselves
become less certain and definite and
more varied and contradictory"

WANT INCOME TAX
BURDEN LIFTED
Americans Living in South America
Think Law a Hardship.

Rio De Janeiro, Aug. 27.-Americans
residing in Brazil have begun, through
the American Chamber of Commerce
for Brazil. an active campaign for the
abolition or reduction of the American
income tax on citizens residing abroad.
The chamber has authorized special
committee to engage a prominent law
yer of Washington to bring before
congress q bill drawn up by the cham
Der dealing with the subject. The
moral and financial support of all
American chambers abroad and the
foreign trade bodies in the United
States is being solicited. Americans
abroad are to be asked to urge their
congressional representatives to make
independent representations to con-
gress.
The committee which had the matter
in charge recommends that total ex-
emption be asked for, principally for
the reason that European countries do
not tax their nationals engaged in
business abroad, and that only total
exemption will place the American on
an equal footing with European com
petitors in developing American for
eign trade.
The argument for exemption is based
not only on the handicap in COMPARE
son with European competitors, but
also on the political theory that taxa
ton without representation is contrary
to American ideals, the committee
pointing out that Americans living
abroad are unable to express their will
concerning government policies. being
virtually deprived of the right to vote.
1t is also argued that Americans
living abroad are involved in greater
amount of responsibility and effort
for the good of American interests. i'm
posing a greater financial burden than
would be the case at home; that while
the American at home receives pre-
ferential protection.
Danger that Americans abroad may
relinquish their American citizenship
and adopt that of the country where
they reside rather than submit to
what they deem an excessive and I'M
just tax. possibility of evading the
tax and unfairness this creates, and
hardship of the tax on Americans OF
moderate means are other reasons ad-
vanced why the income tax should be
abolished.

me out completely. Then too, l had
rheumatism in my legs which became
badly swollen from my knees to my
feet and gave me lot of pain. Ny
nerves became so shattered that a
person suddenly coming up behind me
made me scream out with fear, and
any unusual noise made me tremble
all over.
MY brother had taken Tanlac with
such good results that | decided to
try it too. The first bottle did me n
world of good. so l kept right on with
it until now / have splendid appe-

without any fear of indigestion. /
have already gained nine pounds in
weight and feel much stronger and
better in every way. All signs OF
rheumatism have left me. I sleep like
a child at night, my nerves are just
as steady as can be. All my friends
are telling me how much better | look,
and / certainly feel like a different
woman. Since Tanlac has done me so
much good my husband has also been
taking it with splendid results. In
an my seventy years I have never
come across medicine equal to
Tanlac."

ADVOCATE LEGAL
AID FOR INDECENT
American Bar Association Hears Tus.
tin Explain Plan.

st. Louis, Aug. 27-There is a de-
mand in all the great cities of the
United States for the establishment
of municipal legal aid bureaus, Err
nest T.. Tustin, Of Philadelphia, told
the American Bar Association at its
annual convention here today. Mr..
Tustin is director of public works in
Philadelphia. He said the purpose
of such a bureau or department would
be to enable the poor to obtain justice
and the foreigner to be relieved from
imposition. to establish place where
the weak, helpless and ignorant would
have their wrongs righted.
The development of a virile regal
aid association within our great mu-
inequalities is q question of vital con-
Germ to every patriotic citizen" de-
clared Mr.. Tustin. The need has be-
come imperative and its creation and
careful development should be under
taken by all of our large cities.
I'm khe past our best authorities
have agreed that social injustice is
responsible for the creation of more
radical enemies to our government
than any other cause.
THE mayor of one of our largest
cities, who has had great experience
has stated within few weeks. that
trifling misunderstanding concerning
municipal and social injustice is re-
sponsible for 90 per cent of the extreme
radicalism in the country.
Immigration in the future will
come largely from Eastern European
countries and the opportunity for i'm
position and unlawful practices will
be much increased.
Despite the excellent arguments
advanced we believe that legal aid
should be made a municipal function,
rather than connected with the adj
ministration of our courts. The ten
dency in many communities to impose
extra judicial duties upon our judges
has not only resulted in a distinct
lowering of the judicial dignity, but
also in many cases has interfered
with the ability of our judges to rem
der prompt, correct and impartial de-
cisions upon legal questions.
THE duty of the municipality, on
the other hand, to conduct a legal aid
bureau is just as much civic duty
as cleaning streets and providing
water. A bureau to investigate and
defend impositions upon the poor and
the ignorant and to furnish proper
and rational defence for men, women
and children without means is just as
much an obligation as to fill the office
Of district attorney for the prosecution
of crimes, or to provide a city solicitor
to enforce health mandates and build
ing restrictions"
Owing to the large number of first
offenders in crime. Mr.. Tustin said.
there is a great need of public de-
fender in all our large municipalities. .
He foresaw, however, that it would be
many years before this office would
be generally adopted and said that un-
til this was done, duties of the office
should be performed by a municipal
aid bureau.
Local bar associations should take
on the burden of cultivating public
sentiment so as to prevent the legal
aid bureaus from becoming tainted
with political craftsmanship and should
appoint a committee to advise and CO.
operate with the legal aid bureaus.
Such a bureau. he said. had been au-
thorized in Philadelphia.
