DON'T QUOTE

WASHINGTON. July Is. - Not
even the bees are going to escape
fedora lcontrol if congress grants
Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wal
lace's request for amendments to
the AAA act.
The bee proposition aroused a
good bit of curiosity in the senate
when it was revealed during debate
on the amendments.
According to the bill, the secre-
tary would be given power to issue
marketing orders for certain COM
modities including package bees
and queen bees"
That was a stinger for Sen. Garter
Glass (Dem0 Virginia, who has
some personal interest and knowl-
edge of the life of the bee.
What I'm curious about" said
Glass, rs how I'm to control the
queen bees. I have some bees, my
self
Sen. Ellison d. Smith CDem0
South Carolina, undertook to help
Glass but didn't get very far except
to demonstrate that he, too, was
acquainted with bees.
I've heard it said" Smith de-
clared, that there is peculiar
queen bee, known as an Italian
queen bee which, when put in the
hive affects with an Italian flavor
all the honey from the hives
Glass allowed that was interest
ing, but didn't shed much light OF
how Wallace planned to proceed.
"I just can't contorl the activi-
ties of my queen bees" Glass said
L hope you'll make the secretary
handler for these bees"
Probably the favorite depression
cure to be proposed to everyone in
the administration from President
Roosevelt down, is the scrip-stamp
plan.
Variations of this scheme were
popular even before Mr.. Roosevelt
took office. They are still coming
in.
William M. Rivkin, Norwood Park,
Pa, has such a proposition which
he has copyrighted and advertises
in pamphlets emblazoned:
THE cure for the great depres-
sion is in my hands"
He proposes that on a certain date
to be fixed by congress, the treas
ury issued $1,000 in scrip to every
citizen over 81.
This day, he explains, would be-
come a national holiday in after
years"
The scrip would be valid for six
months. Each time it was spent
the spender would have to buy a
55 5-cent stamp at the post office and
affiX it to the scrip.
When the scrip turned over 10
times it would be redeemed at face
value and retired by the treasury.
Rivkin calculates that everyone
would be so anxious to spend the
money that their purchases would
break the depression.
He thinks so billion dollars in
scrip would be issued, netting the
government $2,50O,OOO,000 after ex-
penses.

TINE TO CLEAN UP

The American Bar association opens
Its annual convention at Los Angeles to
day, with thousands of lawyers from all
parts of the country in attendance.
VIII Rogers somewhat inelegantly re-
fers to them as an invasion of boil wee
VII, though it is quite probable that the
best in the legal fraternity will be found
among those assembled for the cOnven-
tion.
We hope that some time during the
convention the recent letter written by
Attorney Norman S. Sterry of Los An
geles, which was printed two weeks ago
IN The Press, can be read, or better still,
copies of it should be distributed to all
attorneys at the convention
Cleaning up the evils of the legal pro-
tesslon Is job primarily for the bar as
soclatlon, with the support and cooper
alton of the press and the public.
Attorney Sterry claimed, and many
agree with him, that the evils afflicting
the bar are the result of too many inef-
ficient lawyers and the fact that their
number is constantly being increased by
the sausage making" system of turning
out attorneys who are untitled either by
education or ethics for the profession.
The bar association represents the best
in law That best is fast becoming
to the "shysters" and unless the clean
up comes soon the entire profession is
going to fall from the high estate it has
held since the earliest days of this ma
ton.
1t may be stated that the proportion
OF bad attorneys is no greater than the
number of incompetents or undesirabes
in other professions or trades That may
be true but the havoc the bad attorneys
can and do work, is felt by the entire
public, through the heavy court bills
which it must bear, largely as a result
of the messy way in which our laws op-
crate.
The bar association should not hest
tate to tackle the task of cleaning up.
1t is a self-defense measure in the last
analysis and the association should not
only have the well-being of the public in
mind but is entitled to defend itself
from the enemies it has within the ranks.
