Legal Aid Bureaus _ A Municipal Department is Needed to Help the Weak, Ignorant and Poor ?> St. Louis, Aug. 27 ?There is o de? mand in all the great cities of the United States for the establishment of municipal legal aid bureaus, Ernest L. Tustin, of Philapdelphia. boold he America Bar Association at its annual convention here today. Mr. Tustin is director of public works In Philadelphia. Me said the pur- j pose of such a bureau or department . would be to enable the poor to ob? tain justice and the foreigner to be relieved from imposition, to estab? lish a place where where the weak, helpless and ignorant would have j their wrongs righted. "The development if a viriel legal aid association within our great mun? icipalities is a question of vital con? cern to every patriotic citizen", de? clared Mr. Tusttin ' The need haB become Imperative and its creation I and careful development should be j undertaken by all of our large cit'ea "in the past our beat authorities have agreed that social injustice . is j responsible for the creation of more radical enemies to our government than any other cause. "The m/&yor of one of our largest cities, who has had great experience, has stated within a few weeks that triflflpg misunderstandings concern? ing municipal a^d social injustice is responsible for-aw per cent, of the ex? treme radicalism in the country. "Immigration |in the future will eoitue largely from Eastern European countries and the opportunity for im? position and unlawful practices will be much increased. % "Despite the excellent arguments advanced we believe that legal aid should be made a municipal func? tion, rather than connected with the administration of our courts. The tendency in many comunlties to im? pose extra Judicial duties upon our judges has not only resulted in a dis? tinct lowering of the judicial dignity, but also in m(any casesihas interfered With the ability of our judges .to ren? der prompt, correct and impartial de? cisions, upon legal questions. "The duty of the municipality, on the Qjher hand, to conduct a legal aid bureau is just as much a civic duty as cleaning streets and providing wa? ter. A bureau to investigate and de. fend imposition's upon th?e poor and the ignorant and to furnish a prop? er and rational defense for men, Wo? men and children without means is just as much an obligation as to fill the office of District Attorney for the prosecution of crimes, or to pro? vide a city solicitor to 'nfdrce health mandates and building restrictions." Owing to the large number of first offenders in crime, Mr, Twain said, "there is a great eed of a public de? fender in all our large municipal? ities." He foresaw, however, that it would be many years before this of? fice would be generally adopted and said that until this was done, duties of the office should be performed by a municipal aid bureau. a Local Bar Associations should take on the bureau of cultivating public sentiment so as to prevent the legal t?ld bureaus from becoming tainted v/lth political partisanship and should appoint a committee to advise and eooperate with the legal -?id bureaus. Such a bureau, he sal?, had been au? thorized in Philadelphia.

South Carolina state highway department to the Cement Association, an organization of cement manufacturers, of profiteering in ce? ment in South Carolina. The depart? ment charges that certain cement dis? tributers In the state are charging en . orbitant prices for the material. I Raven .\ McDasrid of Greenville, who represents the cement associa? tion, was in Columbia today and Chhdl ?Engineer Moore neid of the highway department took the matter up with him. Mr. McDivid stated that he understood the government was in? vestigating thia matter through tbd department of justice. I Highway department officials state that the high prices paid for cement are in many cases hampering the I work of the department in road coe 1 rstruction. in va ious- parte, of the state, ! Cement cannot be had in sufficient ! quantities, except at prices too high I for highway boards to pay, state these .(Officials.
