An eminent jurist recently remarked: "If men in all walks of
life endeavored to obey law rather than evade law the courts
would have very much less to do; fuilheimore, if every man real
ized that law is for him as well as for the other fellow fewer would
get into courts; every good citizen must conduct himself on the
fundamental principle that law is for all:" This remark is perti
nent to conditions existing today.
.Note, in the first place, that this jurist included "men in all
walks of life," that is, men educated and uneducated, rich and poor.
Noting this, regard the responsibility of the educated to set proper
example to the. uneducated or the rieh to provide example to the
poor. Such responsibility certainly cannot be discharged by the
educated and rich if they arrogate to themselves rights and privil
eges which the law gives, to no one, and assumption of which must
mislead the uneducated and the poor. If they assume rights and
privileges why should not others do so; and if in exercising them
they ignore law'ivhy pihould not others ignore it? K '-i
' Consider, in the second place,, the jurist's Intimation IhapJnen
do not endeavor to oley law souch' as they study to evilde it.
True, the statement is introduced by "if" but its intent and mean
Mug are unmistakable, and its criticism just. Legal practice today
is largely advice and direction as to how to remain within the law
and yet avoid its limitations and restrictions.. Legislatures feel
compelled to multiply limitations and restrictions. Laws and more
laws is the order of the day, yet with little or no result in chang
ing attitude toward law. There is simply'greater effort to evade
law.
In the third place, the jurist gave some men the benefit of the
doubt when he said that "if every man realized that law is for him
as well as. the other fellow." Undoubtedly, there are amijng the
uneducated and unfortunate a great many men who reason that
because of ignorance they are, to some extent at least, exempt, yet
"ignorance of law is no excuse for violation of law ;" and, perhaps1,
there are men who think that necessity justifies the nieahs.'yei,
- while it may excuse, it cannot justify, for there is only in rare
instances justification for wrong. What the jurist meant is that
if every man would see the "other fellow" in himself he would ap
j'eciate that under law there can lie no discrimination. '.'
:, Finally, the jurist's concluding observation is a statement of
,fact. The man who stays just within the law can claim no merit,
moral or other, as his purpose is antagonistic to the law. lie may
he a worse social asset than the man who deliberately violates the
law for his character may appear approvable but really be open
to question, while the latter is known for what he is.' Assuredly
lie is a. worse asset than the man who through ignorance or neces
sity breaks the law. Neither of the three may be good citizens, for
the measure of citizenship is not only observance 'of law but also
support of law.
Why, ofie may ask, is the jurist's remark pertinent to condi
tions existing today? There never has been a time when law ob
servance was at a lower ebb than now. There were never more
forces at work to evade the law than there are today. There was
never a lower social morale than obtains in all sections of the coun-
try. On the other hand, there were nevei' more measures presented
in legislatures further to limit and restrict than during sessions
just closed. Yet, there was never less prospect of successful en
forcement' of old and new law, because of low ebb of observance,
the extent of evasion and lower social morale. Men are blind to
obligations or have not the courage to meet them, are careless of
dtitv ot- have no Incentive to perforin it. The world is headed to
ward trouble, for it is inviting all the isms and schisms that ratth:
brains can cogitate. ,
". The jurist above quoted is right when he says that more laws
arc not needed, rather observance and support of the laws already
on the books such as may be inspired by the words "One law for
all." This1 is the key that will unlock the gates of prejudice, greed
and arrogance and let through them the light of fairness, gener
osity, and equality, for under the law all men must have the same
lights, privileges and perogatives and these must be exercised ac
cording to law. When this eventuates there will be conditions, so
cial, political and others, which will make virtue of necessity; that
is, which will render respect for law a positive element of Individ
ual character.
The fountain never rises higher than its source. The people an
the source of social, moral, political, and financial conditions. Let
the people elevate themselves, which they will do by insisting
there is but "one law for all."
