As an emergency measure, action :ly 'the federal fove'rh.'
ment would be a very good thing. Uncle Sam has taken on
a lot of unfamiliar jobs this year; if 'he Wants to tackle
the racketeers of the legal profession, how, we can do noth
ing but wish him lots of luck.
But in the long ran the job is up to the legal profession
itself. A much finer sense of the necessity of living up to
, the profession's ethical standards, a finer sense of the
lawyer s responsibility to society as well as to the client who
happens to be paying him, a passion for justice and a recog
nition of the fact that a lawyer can soil his hands by hand-
niiig the wrong kind of business these are things we must
have if the house cleaning is really to be effective. '
'I Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you : not as
the world givoth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be af raid. 3om 14 r 27.
ONE MORE BLOW AT THE CRIMINAL
:" .Whenever you fake up the problem: of 'crime and its pre
vention, you are pretty likely to find yourself talking about
' the JaXvyers befoi'e you get through. Attorney 'Geueral
, touMimings' announcement that the Department of Justice
, is preparing to open fire on lawyers suspected of under
' world connection should not be surprising. That there ire
lawyers who work hand in glove with notorious crooks ;is
perfectly obvious as, likewise, is the fact' that the crooks
.'can't fee curbed effectively until something is done to the
lawyers. .' . 1 f
' "One of the most important elements of predatory crime;
says the attorney general, "is the manner in which some
members Of the bar co-operate with the underworld."
I '. Any man accused of crime, no matter how'black his repu
tation, is entitled to the best legal defense lie can get when
he gets into court. That much goes without saying. But
What the attorney general is talking' about is the lawyer who
advises the gangster on how to commit and cover up crimes,
who helps him slip out of the law's grip when he gets caught,
ises trickery to guide him safely through the courts, and
In general steps over the ethical borderline in looking after
his interests. ; ...t
There are lots of lawyers like that. Not in small com
munities like La Grande but in the large metropolitan areas
where court activities and crime is a daily occurrence. Every
one who has had anything to do with the criminal courts
knows it perfectly well. So far the various bar associations
of the country seem to have been cither unwilling or unable
.0 do anything very effective about putting such lawyers out

Bend Editor Talks
Of Indian Summer
(Continued Prom Page One)
called Indian summer, we beg to
Inform the unknown poct-meteorol
oglst of tho far eastern part of the
state. There Is often room for dif
ference of opinion as to which par
ticular spell of Ideal full or early
winter weather Is the true Indian
summer, but wo fear tho Observer
reader Is wrong when he maintains
that this typo of summer Is a No
vember or December phenomenon.
Thorcau, In bin notes on the
meteorological conditions in Massa
chusetts during the 10 years, 1861-
ittuo, records tho occurrence of In
dian summer weather on dates all
tho day from September 27 to De
cember 13 a range of 77 days. If
tno I4i orande rosldent cares to read
the "Narratlvo of the Canadian Red
River Exploring Expedition," he will
find data bearing on Indian summer
weather which started one vear on
October 6 and lasted to November
20. J. w. Schacffer, of the United
States weather bureau,- some years
ago published an analysis of tho
weather records at Milwaukee. Wis..
showing that Indian summer, wca-
tner varied widely at that place in
its date of occurrence.
The origin of the term Indian
summer still remains In doubt. The
earliest known use of the term was
an entry dated October 13, 1704. in
tho Journal of Major Ehenczer Den
ny, kept In Western Pennsylvania.
mat nate. octobcf 13, Is significant
In disproving the contention that the
term is only applied to Ideal weather
occurring In early winter.

his Indian summers in lute Novem
ber or In December. We will take

rules In respect thereto as he may
deem advisable. The functions per
formed by contract carrlera. are In
many respects similar to those of
common carriers by truck. It docs
not appear that , the latter possess
any special privileges or monopoly
or business. Both are granted the
use of the highways on certain con- I
dttlons."
Concerning alleged discrimination
in favor of creamery trucks the court
pointed out that the "plaintiff does
not show that he Is engaged In any
competitive business with the cream
eries, and therefore does not show any
injury resulting to mm from this
alleged discrimination. The fact that
the creamery does not operate its
conveyances for hire Is sufficient
reason for placing It In a different
classification from that of the plaln-
wii. .
Justification for the exemption of
log trucks from the requirement that
tney pay certain fees and charges
Imposed upon contract and private
carriers is found by the court In tho
fact that such trucks are otherwise
taxed and can claim the exemptions
""in vjsBa u me specilic
