BID, SHAVED CLOSELY

NEW YORK, December Is P).-
Evidence OF how bids are shaved to
the minutest fractions in the highly
competitive field of municipal f1nanc-
ing is shown in the award of $15,-
100000 City OF Los Angeles Az per
cent bonds to a nationwide bank
ing group at a price of par plus a
premium Of $192. Although the pre-
MUM amounted to only IL cents for
each $1,000 bond, 1t was sufficient
to swing the balance in favor OF the
successful group. which is headed by
the First National Bank Of New York.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
What Makes q Good Lawyer.


1t is symptomatic of a change in
our sense of values that we refer to
the law less than in the past as one
of the learned professions.
An increasing array of college grad
yates are now going. without apology.
into the ranks of business instead of
into the professions.
In recent times business has as.
sumed a new dignity. and now Is be-
ginning to rank with the professions
as an attractive life work. AS part
of this transformation, a score of uni
versities have opened schools or de-
partments of business, where the
scientific aspects of the world of bar
ter are analyzed and eXpounded.
Whether for better or for worse,
the legal profession has tended to be-
come a branch of the business world.
The largest fees are earned by cor
poration lawyers-attorneys who ad-
wise and serve business men.
Business Organizations.
In the great cities law firms have
taken on the character Of business,
instead Of strictly professional orga-
nizations. For example, in most OF
the large firms. one of the principal
partners is likely to be little more
than a per-salesman. This part
ner, whose special assignement Is to
bring in new clients, knows less ABOUT
the law and legal procedure than how
to make contacts with wealthy pros
poets, and how to turn acquaintance
ships into clients.
There is a. further division of func-
tions. In big firms there are office
partners, who plan the major strategy
{,, fhn n
their studies, and trial lawyers, who
appear in the front line trenches be-
fore judges and juries. The man in
the office sometimes originates the
facts, the interpretations and the
ideas which the trial lawyer, who
alone gets the publicity, so effectively
translates into courtroom oratory. In
the larger cities, there are attorneys
who do not deal with the public at all.
but who are retained by other lawyers
for consultation and aid in the solu-
ton Of difficult legal tangles and prob
lens.
The lawyer is wise in maintaining
an independent status, instead or
working directly for his clients. His
usefulness to his clients consists OF
his independence, of his detachment,
of his fearlessness in pointing out
errors in the reasoning Of his clients.
An ethical lawyer will not undertake
to find within the law" way of do
ing any job that his client wishes. He
will be frank and unafraid in saying
that a particular program Is unwise
and contrary to public policy and to
the statutes.
Chief Work Preventive.
The able lawyer does not depend for
his livelihood on winning lawsuits.
His chief work is preventive, in ar
ranging contracts and programs so
that they will be free of complications
that will lead to legal battles. More
over, when inevitable disagreements
occur. he uses his influence to effect

Clayton argued that the residents
of Georgia Avenue were as much
entitled to the modern type Of

ton would not be so great as to
cause an abnormal strain on the
purse of the company.
Further influence in favor of the
project was brought to bear by the

struction, composed Of public
utilities and engineer department
officials.
It was brought out by officials OF
the commission that unless side.

Another question over which fans
are pondering is whether Earle Sande
will ring up his third derby victory.
He was mounted on the winner last
year and in 1923. The diminutive
jockey last year lead in percentage of
races won with 27-winning 72 out of
265 mounts. Little Arthur Mortensen
lead in the total number of winners
with 1856 out of 9S2 races, las of his
mounts came second and 1877 third His
percentage was slightly over 10.

horse owners is estimated by officials
at Churchill Downs here, to total $12,-
600, 900, of which Kentucky contributes
$1,727,749, and Maryland $1,425.O92
The Metropolitan track distributed
$2,O4S,274, with Saratoga leading with

BEST HORSES OF
LAND ENTER in
KENTUCKY RACE
(By DISPATCH a. 2. Wirel

LOUISVILLE, April S.--FoIlowers of
the sport of kings are buzzing as to
which of the 164 three-year- -olds en-
tered, will capture Americas premier
event Of turfdom--the Kentucky derby
to be run here May Is.
The entry list for the 52nd renewal
ruary. Virtually every first-class
three-year-old horse in the country
has been nominated, with all the great
stables represented.
If 20 horses face the barrier, the
race will be worth $53,375 to the win
ner, in addition to a beautiful gold
trophy. The second horse will net
$4,000, the third, $4,000, and the fourth,
$1,000.
Many are wondering if Pompey, by
Sun Briar, of the Shoshone stables,
who lead American horse winnings in
1925, with $121,63O, will capture the
priced event This son of Cleopatra
last year captured the Futurity stakes
at Belmont Park paying $58,480, and
the Hopeful stake at Saratoga, paying
$42,S50.
Another, who was not far behind
GOmpey III W1un1uSS, Il. GIl1IlIIl
Canter, is highly. favored. He won
the leading race of the fall session at
Churchill Downs. the Kentucky club
jockey stakes, netting $23,315, and the
Pimlico Futurity, paying $53,350 His
earnings for the year totaled $113,-.
948
Other promising horses favored by
mang to capture the race are: Flight
of Time, winner of the Breeders Fu-
turity at Lexington, who cleared $780,
1872 last year; Bubbling Over, winner
of $24,737 last year, and Nurmi, who,
as a three-year- old, won the 100000
New Orleans handicap this year. Haste
Rhinock, Chicago and Mars also are
admitted to have a good chance.
While naming the favorites for the
coming event it may be well to men
tion that Flying Ebony, winner of last
years derby, has been retired to the
stud at Major Thomas G. McDowell's
Ashland Place, Lexington, KY, and the
Golden Jubille winner of 1924-Black
Gold, is in stud at Jockey Jack. How
