POWER TRUST AND CONGRESS

Amidst the various senate scandal inqui- ries in Washington the house of representa- tives has been centering it's attention on the Muscle Shoals problem. From the begin ming of the week it has been apparent that the house would approve the measure pro- posing the Ford offer. In spite of this, how ever, the people of this country have wit messed the amazing and painful spectacle of a corporate monopoly seeking openly in the halls of congress to defeat the will of the people and the manifest course leading most directly to the public benefit. It is not enough that the aims of this power corpora tion are both monopolistic and selfish, but it is furher the fact that its common stock is of foreign ownership and that, as one repre- sentative remarked, it belongs to a power group with "an interlocking directorate which finally centers in the Bank of England" For reasons of patriotism and national safety alone the power trust should not be per- mitted to acquire Muscle Shoals, because therein resides our chief hope of adequate sources of explosives in the event of war. To be sure, we could take over this prop erty in the event of war, but how much bet ter and nationally more safe to have it un- der the financial control of Americans rather than of non-Americans!
 It has for several days been indicated that the. power trust, despairing of success in the house, has transferred its political efforts to the senate, in the hope that it may at least cause sufficient delay to defeat the Ford off0z, even though the trust itself should nos acquire the property. That purpose is not only selfish, but it is maliciously and diametrically opposed to the considerations of the public welfare. The spectacle of a great trust and "a potential monopoly exert ing itself brazenly in the political effort to control or to influence national legislation is an alarming one. It is quite different from the attitude of Ford and his associates, who have held aloof from political contriving. The Ford offer is supported by popular ac- claim Let the senate not permit itself to be swayed by considerations of a selfish and private nature, when the public welfare so strongly counsels the opposite course. Let the senate even turn and scOurge from it's midst those myrmidOns of monopoly who seek to swerve the national congress from it's appointed duty.

The IlIiteraey stamp Sale ,

To the Editor of The~Age- -Herald.'t' --
 As chairman of illiteracy for the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs I am asking you if you will not give some publicity to the lliteracy stamp sale the federation is going to put on beginning March 21, and lasting till March 29s. We feel sure that such an useful. public-spirited agency as The Age Herald will help us put the urgency of this cause sufficiently before the people of Bir- mingham and Alabama they will be ashamed not to buy stamps It is not charity we are asking, but merely "a chance tes bring un- derstanding and the vision of real life e people who, through no fault of their own, have been held down in life, handicapped by ignorance and poverty. It should be priyi- lege to assist in this undertaking, and we feel that the influence your paper has over the state will mean much in arpuSing people to see this sale as an opportunity for service.
 In helping these unfortunate, oness we are also helping our state. our children and the future condition of our country. Where there is such a blight of ignorance, on any land there will always be evils vice, disease and crime, and in giving understanding and the opportunity to learn we will enable peo- pie of this kind to become better 7citizens. A few dollars contributed now5will return q hundred fold in years to come. If you would buy some stamps now and' use on your mail it would help us advertise the stamp sale. Thanking you for anything you can do to help make this stamp sale a success, and hoping you will keep some mention of it in your paper from time to time, am,

.Age-H -Herald's statemente Does he not know that the Greene county detour is not in the 2. percentum?, The law quoted refers to federal-aif projects, such q the Gainesville detour most enphatically ix not. ~
 All are willing to admit the distinguished war record of Colonel McCalla. That is not in question. It is the highway record in Alabama that is questioned. MT. Wells and MT. McCalla jointly share the criticism that attaches to the inferiority of construction in Shelby conat& But in the Greene county detour Mfr Wells has. no jurisdiction, be- cause it is off the the federal-aid system, and Mir. McCalla was criticized because he. advocated a neighborhood detour when more sober engineering judgment was in con- tradiction to such recommendation. But, as Mir. Rogers says, the engineer is but the crea- ture of the commission, subject to discharge. It is the commission that must bear the re- proach of having failed to envision the pub lie welfare in discharge of the important highway responsibility. The people place the. blame upon Mir. Rogers and his asso- ciate who voted with him on these unpar- donable highway decisions. a.

MIR. ROGERS WEAK DEFENSE

Mir John A. Rogers, chairman of the state highway commission. may believe that he has answered The Age-Herald's criticism of the commissions amazing policy of routing state highways by detours instead of by direct routes as called for by law but he has not really answered it at alE MH Rogers says that the state engineer has passed on this detour. The public has not heard from Mir Keller to this effect. Nor did Mir. Rogers give Mir Keller as his engineering authority, but Mir. McCalla.
 The highway chairman, in attempted refu- tation of The Age-Herald's statement that the federal engineer can not pass on any highway off the federal-aid system, quotes the federal road law as follows:
 Before any projects are approved in
 any state, such state, though its state
 highway department shall select or
 designate a system of highways not to
 exceed percentum of the total high
 way mileage of such state as shown
 by the records of the state highway de-
 partmrnt at the time of the passage of
 this act
 Does Mr. Rogers offer this really as a se- rious and sincere reply? Does Mir. Rogers not know that this quotation confirms The

LET THE PRESIDENT ACT

The White House has apparently been too freely used as basis for questionable ma nipulations. It is not to be said that Presi- dent Coolidge has been knowingly involved in wrongdoing; but it is extremely regrettable that his choice of subordinates has fallen upon men who apparently have no regard either for the presidents own dignity or for the sanctity of his high office. It is time for such false servants to be scOurged from the White House, and for the president to assert himself as the champion of right and Slemp was chosen as the presidents secretary, everybody knew that it was as a campaign secretary in reality, and not as a private sec retary. The nation did not protest this, even though it may have regretted it. But when the secretary and his associates so act as to disgrace the position they occupy and to cast reproach upon the presidential office, then public censure is swift and warranted.
 The American people should not accuse the president of wrongdoing unless the un- mistakable facts justify such an accusation But the people may justly criticize the chief executive for countenancing the continued presence of men against whom the public in- telligence instinctively recois. There. is a bad situation in Washington. and it needs purging. Debates in congress will settle nothing. The need is for a thorough and searching revelation of the facts and punish ment or ejectment of the offenders. Let us have that Let the president lead in the energetic discharge of this public duty.

friend and comrade, urged you not to do it. l said '"This is Bill Brandon's time, and I am confident that neither you, nor any other man in Alabama, can beat him this year" You wrote me that I was all wrong, but, l submit, very slight analysis of the vote as cast that summer for governor, tends to show that l have you beat to pieces as a political prophet or statistician. Now, we are about to part political company again, and this time over the question of who is better fitted to be president of the United States-Oscar w. Underwood or l.. Breck MusgrOve? ? Perhaps I put it unfairly, because you did not put it that way. You tell me If you vote for Underwood you vote against the bonus. If you vote for Musgrove you vote for it." It is fact that you touch tender chord in me whens you speak of the adjusted compensation bill, now in congress, because honestly and sincerely believe that several million comrades of mine are justly entitled to some economic rehabilitation at the hands of the government. They ''gave their all" while those back home were taking their all" during the war time of prosperity, and the latter have made every effort to "keep their all'' rather than divide up just a little bit with the returned ex-service man.
 Senator Underwood has not favored the adjusted compensation bill, and I regret it. But, the bonus is just one of the several big issues now before the American people, and l have had enough political experience to learn that I cannot support any man in public life, who will please me on every is- sue, and about everything. Therefore de spite Senator Underwood's attitude on ad- justed compensation. I am going to vote for him and ask my several thousand Alabama comrades to do the same. I will do this es- pecially because I am a born and bred Alabamian, and one full of pride in his na- tive state. As such an Alabamian, I have been made to feel proud time and again, when in other states, and even in foreign countries, when I would mention my home state, and then there would follow such as ''You have a big man from your state in the senate. Underwood would make good presi- dent"
 l believe that Alabama has been ably rep resented in the halls of congress ever since 1t was admitted to statehood. Some of our representatives achieved national reputation but to my knowledge, not one has been se- riously mentioned as presidential timber up to the time of Senator Underwood. And now, throughout the length and breadth of this great country of ours. when the presi- dency IS mentioned and it is being mentioned every minute in the day now, Underwood of Alabama. the senator from Alabama. is spo- ken of not merely as q possibility because he IS considered big enough to be a president but as q very serious contender for the nomi nation and election.
 I love my Alabama comrades m0re than I

| of a lawyer. The definitions are much the same throughout the country. iI quote the statute of the state of Indiana, which defines the duties of a lawyer and relates what his oath requires him to do: f.
 One-To support the constitution and laws.
 Two-To maintain the respect that is due to the courts of justice and judicial officers. @Three-To counsel or maintain such actions, proceedings or defenses only as appear to him legal and just; but this section shall not be construed to prevent the defense of person charged with crime, in any case.q
 FOur-To employ, for the purpose of main taining the cause confided to him, such means only as are consistent with. truth, and never seek to mislead the court or jury by any artifice or false statement of facts or law. .-.-.t ,.f.. Fiye-To maintain inviolate the confidence and, at every peril to himself, to preserve the secrets of his client. -'" :&.
 Six-To abstain from all offensive person. ality and to advance no fact prejudicial to the honor or reputation of party or witness unless required by the justice of the cause with which he is charged.
 Seyen-Not to encourage either the com mencement or the continuance of an action or proceeding from any motive of passion or interest.
 Eight7-Never to reject, from any consider ation personal to himself, the cause of inc defenseless or oppressed.
 It will be observed by the lay mind that these duties embodied by virtue of law in the oath which q man takes when admitted to the bar have exclusively to do with liti- gation, proposed and pending. Nothing else whatever is involved. Drawing a contract is not discharging any of the duties of an attorney-at-law. He who draws contract is mere scrivener. The work which he thus performs has nothing to do with his duties as an attorney. My personal opinion is that if litigation should subsequently arise over the terms and conditions of a contract, a high sense of ethics on the part of the man who drew it would suggest that he should have nothing to do with the litigation. Yet, I have heard of an alleged lawyer, one who is lawyer if admission to the bar spells being lawyer who appeared before men whom he himself had appointed to office and endeavored to procure an opinion favorable

to his clients upon the statement that he himself had drawn the statute which. he was asking them to, construe, and that they ought to be willing to accept his interpretation of it. es ~. sas = t.s.~ I find that there has Slowly permeated into the profession an idea that anything that, man may do in the business life of America, if he has been admitted to the bar, con stitutes the practice of law, and that for his conduct in any particular matter he IS not to be called in question by the court nor the general public With this has come an idea that it is practice of the law to endeavor to persuade public officials to do or not to do. certain things. Moreover, it is called legal business to act as a broker in the procure ment of contracts for a client. Recently my attention was called to 'a lawyer who pro- cured contract for the Transportation and delivery of certain articles Of merchandise and received the usual and ordinary fees which are paid to brokers or commission merchants z,

Lawyers seem to be wandering up and down the business and political avenues of America with letters of marque and reprisal in their pockets. Of course, any real lawyer knows that none of this is the practice of the law, that none has anything to do with the duties of an attorney, that these activities are simply the by-products of the public service and private influence of men who have been admitted to the bar. s.s
