The Mitchell Case
HPHE acquittal of Cbarlei E. Mitchell on tba charge ot cheat-'
lng the government out of more than $350,000 in income
taxes, was a great triumph for hli ottorney, Max D. Steuer.
According to press report, the chief point the jury had
to decide waa whether or not, the sale of stocks to Mrs.
Mitchell was a bona-fide sale. If it waa, no law had. been vio
lated) if it wasn't, the law HAD been violated.
The jury decided no law had been violated. The sale they
concluded, was a genuine sale. Jiut how they arrived at this
conclusion, it is difficult from this distance to determine.
MEN usually don't' make bona-fide sales to their
wives. In this particular case no actual money changed
hands, the transaction being covered by a note, later destroyed
when the stocks were transferred back to the original owner.
If this is a bona-fide sale, then the average layman will
inquire what DOESN'T constitute a bona fide salef All the
facts seem to Indicate that this sale was made for one purpose,
and one purpose alone, to escape income tax payments. As
far as essentials are concerned, Banker Mitchell's financial
position after the transfer, was identical with what his posi
tion would have been had no transfer or "bona fide" sale
occurred. Yet instead of paying the government an income
tax of hundreds of thousands, he paid nothing.
The case brings into sharp relief two important facts. The
capital sales loss feature of the federal income tax should be
either repealed or so amended that such evasion of income tax
payments will hereafter be impossible. And second, that it is
very difficult in this country to convict a million dollars.
The Case of Max Steuer
THE evidence in the case above, established that while
Banker Mitchell has been a heavy loser in the recent de
pression, he is still a rich man. The fee his attorney, Max
Steuer, reoeived for this victory, would probably represent a
fortune to the average man.
Well Max earned it. In New York he is recognized as one
of the smartest criminal lawyers in the business. His power
over a jury is so uncanny, that some observers have intimated
that this power has had to do with other influences than either
logio or eloquence. In fact, according to "Time" for a de
fendant to engage the services of Stouer is prima facie evidence
that he is guilty.
WELL, why nott According to established practice, every
man, innocent or guilty, is entitled to a defense. The
defendant is, therefore, entitled to the BEST defense he can
buy. . If one lawyer doesn't take the case, some other lawyer
will. Where the fee Is a generous one, there are few criminal
lawyers who will refuse, even though their client may be as
guilty as sin. In fact, as far as we know there are none.
As a result, some of the brightest lawyers in this country,
are as a matter of fact, in league with organized crime. They
are devoting their time and talents to defeating justice where
criminals are conoorned. They contribute in our judgment1,
more than any other one factor, to the extent and seriousness
of the prevailing erime wave.
HPO our mind this is all wrong. But we fear few In fact no
criminal lawyers would agree with us. They are in the
business for the money they can make out of it. Their respon
sibility to their profession or to society are at all times sub
ordinated to that.
To them everything is fair in law as it is, In love and war
and politics. They oare for only one thing results.
ONE of these days however, there Is going to be a change
in this viewpoint. If it dooen't flome from within
from the legal profession itself it will come from without
from the people.
In the latter case lawyers
suffer along with those with none; lawyers with an active
sense of their responsibility to society, will suffer with those
who consider themselves responsible to nothing hut their bank
balances.
It would be to the self Interest of the lesders of the bar,
and their followers, who have
high ideals of their profession,
ing, before the people get up
themselves.
It Wont
THE more one studies the erime problem, the more diffioult
A to anlnfirm artrtfiara. Tha
upon our criminal procedure, which in turn, Is bssed upon
fear fear of inflicting punishment npa tbe innocent.
This fear is deeply imbedded in the hearts of all free people.
It goes far back to the very dawn of modern civilization, when
the legal and royal power were one, when to incur the dis
pleasure of the crown or his local represemative, meant beins?
thrown into jail or having one's head unceremoniously chop
ped off.
AS the years have rolled by a new fear has been added to
this traditional one the fear that the GUILTY will NOT
be punished, until sooner or later, the people will be living
under a tyranny of organized crime an invisible government
even stronger than the apparent government.
.This new fear however, is weaker than the older one
NEW fears usually are. So while radical changes in criminal
procedure are greatly needed; we fear they won't be attained,
without a long and hard fight.
In the opinion of this paper, however, a long and hard fight
is what right thinking oitizens are ready to engage in.

HOW TO FAKE NB RVOCB TROUBLE.
Thla la the sixth lesson In the
courae on "nervous trouble." and aa
teacher I flattered myself you pupils
were getting something from the
course. utU after

charm, and all
that, but I can
tell you, my chil
dren, that not all
the dumb are as
beautiful as this
one In and I hopo
not all tlio beau-
ful are as dumb as she la either.
She agreed with my teaching that
work, play, exercise, action. Is a fine
remedy for "nerves," but she thought
1 should particularize about that. It
waa probably true in respect to people
of leisure. But she admonished me
that when overworked people get run
down or nervously exhausted more
work can hardly benefit them.
Come, now, we know you neurotics
are all pretty dumb (the dishonest
ones walked out on us early In the
course), yet your teacher believes
most of you should be able to detect
the flsw In Dora's exception rUjht
sway. If you can't, you had better re
view the earlier lessons In this course.
(You find the gist of the entire series
in a monograph on nervous trouble,
copy of which will be mailed If you
ask for It and Inclose a dime and a
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress). Vou see, Dora's pretty head
Is stUl too full of the hokum ot old
time nerve specialists and vendora of
alleged nerve tonics, and there lsnt
room for the simple physiological
truth, so It rsttles around awhile and
then files away.
To be aure, the parasites Dora calla
"leisurely people" constitute the great
majority of neurotics, for their ab
normal life Is bound to lead to 111
health and unbapplness. But If by
"overworked people" she means people
who do honestly work bard or play
bard, with their muscles of course, we
can only say that such people seldom
have any trouble with their "nerves."
"Nervousness" or nervous exhaus
tion" la an alibi set up only by the
dishonest and the dumb. How many
times must I assure you that there Is
no such thing as nervous energy and
therefore there can be no such thing
ss nervous exhaustion in any case.

like new tie
from Char vet, writing our futile little
pieces In cushioned ease and sending

One Is not ft newspaperman until.
called from ft poker game, he has
galvanized calmly Into that myster

"Titanic sinking!" and knows exactly
what to do. Or hides a weak brother's
derelictions from the managing editor
at risk of bis head. Or borrows 50
cents from ft printer for Monday's

Nothing on the surface offers the
haphazardy of an editorial room. No
body seems to know exactly what It's

for not haunting editorial shops Is
fear of ft sudden seizure to return to

ft weak womanl For a lazy oaf to tink

Is flirting with oblivion. Or worse
coasting to the barren outland of

In ways the reporter Is bravest of
all loyal serfs. He knows In ft few
years he will crsck on the furious
wheel. He fabricates no sentimental
excuses for himself that be must
think of his dear ones and get out.
He thinks only of his -Job and while
It lasts he would not trade It for
any Job In the world. Cowards, such
as I. see the storm coming, retreat to
namby-pampy Journalism and spend
what Is left of careers in regrets.
Quitting reporting curdled life for
America's best reporter Frank Ward
O'Malley. He found the flattery of
magazine recognition wormwood and
flitted from Switzerland to Brlelle,

HAY QUARANTINE
FOR CCC CAf S
With Jackson county's straw under
qusrantlne, offlclala in charge of the
CCC headquarters here have had dif
ficulty in supplying that product for
camps in Crater National park, Pis
tol river and Agness camps. The
straw is used in bedsacka.
With less than a quarter of a mile
of the highway to government camp
passing through Klamath county, it
has been impossible for the CCC
trucks to carry Jackson county straw
Into the park, according to Major
Clare H. Armstrong, in command here,
and because of this, it has been nec
essary to purchase the product in
Klamath county.
Besides the inconvenience of delay,
the CCC headquarters found it nec
essary to get trucks In Klamath
county to haul the straw to the park,
and pay an additional sum of $10
for each truck load taken into the
camp. The straw Is being sent to gov
ernment, wineglass and Lake o' the
Woods camps.
Similar difficulties in regards to
potatoes have been experienced
headquarters officials pointed out. It
has been necessary for each load of
potatoes destined for Plstcfl River
and Agness camps on the coast, to
be Inspected by the county agent's
office before allowed to leave here,
as the roads to these camps go thru
northern California.
Major Armstrong said that his of
fice would make an effort to obtain
permission from federal authorities
to move these products, without re
striction.
