Lawyers are losing their former high re-
pute. and it is their own fault says Newton
D. Baker. one of the leaders of the Ameri-
can bar. A lawyer used to be learned
man. Look at the flyleaves Of books in the
secondhand stores. and you will probably
find that most of them are from the librar-
les of old lawyers. Whenever there were
debates on state matters or public policies,
says Mr. Baker. the people floeked to the
lawyers for counsel. They waited for the
lawyers to express an opinion. and it never
entered anybody's head to question il"
There is change now. Other people
know more than they used to. The lawyers
seem to know less, except in their own spe-
eial line. He pleads with young lawyers to
reclaim the inheritance" that should be
theirs, regain public esteem and fit them
selves better for public service. There may
be good deal of truth in this view. Or
is it just another example of the good old
times fallacy?
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1932-04-18

A bill is favorabiy reported in Congress
to repeal the ''reeapture' or excess profits
clause in the railtoad act, allowing the roads
to keep their excess earnings not only of the
future but of the recent past. There may
be some question about the wisdom of 60
ing into the past and relieving the more
prosperous lines of obligations to the gov
eminent amounting to some $3.50, 600, 600.
But there need be none about future earn
ings.
1t is generally agreed now that the rail-
roads should be allowed, like business in
general and most other public utilities. to
make enough in good times to carry them
over bad times. Such policy provides the
natural business cushions against depression.
answering the same purpose with capital that
employment insurance does with labor, if the
surplus funds are wisely used.
This is surely wiser than letting so great
and essential an industry sink into bank
ruptcy and government ownership. 1t may
even be better to make the proposed law re-
troactive. and set the lines free from their
obligations to repay their theoretical excess
earnings of the past, if they cannot do it
without loans from the government. Moth
ing is more likely to bring on government
ownership Of rails than big government
loans. Some day our government may be-
competent to take complete charge of the
railroads. but that time has not yet come.

Ignored Advice

The people who point to Washington's
Farewell Address for support of their argu-
ments against participation in International
affairs, and for increased isolation. seems
oddly to have overlooked another bit Of
advice the Father of His Country put in that
document. They forget. or ignore, the fact
thar he also urged his eountrymen to avoid
partisan politics.
Was he wise in the one recommendation
and not in the other? Perhaps it does not
much matter, since the nation he helped to
found has more or less abandoned both
principles. 1t participates in international
affairs. regardless Of protests Of some citi-
zens. because it cannot be helped. 1t has
gone in strongly for partisan politics for
reasons little harder to- fathom. Vital
issues and great policies have beeome less
important in tie average voters mind than
party labels and party success. 1t is de
velopment both unfortunate and unneces-
sary. though natural enough in people
more interested up to now in material
wealth and progress than in good govern
ment.
