SOLDIERS BONUS QUESTION
VERY MUCH UP IN THE AIR

WASHINGTON Feb. 15.-The SOL
diers bonus question was tonight very
much in the air.
Congress was without any official
word from President Harding as to his
Views on the subject, and in the
meantime the committees, which have
been handling the problem, continue
to mark time. Among senator's and
representatives generally, there was
considerable private discussion and
conjecture with the revival on the
house side OF talk about n slashing OF
annual appropriation bills as a means
OF providing the necessary finances
for the bonus. Representatives Mon
dell of Wyoming and some other lead
ers in tho house were understood to
he giving this proposal close study.
Mr. Mondell called at the White House
early in the day, but did not see the
president. He said afterward the sup
ply measures would bo examined care
fully to determine whether much of
the sum needed for the bonus could
not bo obtained from that direction.
This proposition met with considera-
BILE response from members of the
house, where apparently there is
growing desire to put the bonus thru.
There were suggestions that as n re-
suit Of the agreement for naval holi-
day as much as 5000 100000 could be
cut from the naval bill and that an
other large sum could bo saved by
cutting down tho size OF the army.
Mr.. Mondell and other leaders were
not prepared. however. to make esti-
mates until more careful study OF
the subject had been made.
With tho executive known to look
with disfavor on either tho suggested
eight point tax program or a bond is

campaign with renewed vigor and
were understood to havo been well

What Is the Answer?

In recent address before conference of Bar as
sociations in Washington, D. c., Judge Clarence Good
win of Chicago declared that equality before the law is
impossible so long as the rich and powerful repre-
sented in by highly educated and expert lawyers
while poor and ignorant litigants represented BY
unframed and incompetent attorneys.
There appears to be nothing exaggerated in Judge
Goodwin's statement Of condition that is generally
well known to every that has any knowledge of the
conditions in the courts Nor is there anything novel
In the declaration that those who able to good
lawyers get better results than those who thru lack
Of funds or inexperiences commit their to poor
lawyers 1t is fact universally known that impartial
and exact justice is seldom obtained either in civil or
criminal
When IT comes to suggesting remedy for such
fortunate conditions and results Judge Goodwin does
not seem any resourcefu than all the others
that have called attention the facts. Should
of superior legal ability be denied the right to practice
in the courts7 Should lawyers compensation be
fixed in inverse proportion to his success IN winning
cases7 Should, attorneys be allotted to ltgants IN
rotation, or by drawing of lots7 Or should these
Migants and defendants who appear to have the poor
est cases prma face be allowed first pick Of the men,
bers of the barr
Obviously Of these suggestions seems TO BE- the
proper remedy but what other better plan be sug
ge.ted7
Bar associations have done much TO promote higher
standards OF education and of practice among their
members. and honorable judges have worked effectively
to promote the ends CT justice in their courts Prob
ably the conditions in the courts whole arc better
today than they ever before and probably also
there is among judges and lawyers generally stronger
desire than ever before for improvement.
Better conditions must from the lawyers them
selves rather than from the law from the public
~. I,,r, ,y
console themselves with the knowledge that conditions
are no worse among the lawyers than they among
other professions and trades. The that knows has
more work than he do at the highest prices The
poor workman in law, mechanics business is poorly
r.d and i. the first to suffer from unemployment.
