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.

State Highway Department
Wants an Investigation
Columbia^ Aug*. 27.?Complaint has
been made by th? 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. In some coses, it Is stated,
profit is mads on the cement far above,
that authorized by the cement asso?
ciation.
It Is likely that the state highway
department will, handle the matter
further with the department of Jus?
tine.
