These gifted excusers of Aristocratic Thuggery, in solemn session assembled at Spokane, yesterday decided to remove from the hands of the people all worry about the making of the laws, and to be sure that nothing but safe and sane statutes hereafter appear on the great books of the commonwealth, these astute and kind hearted gentlemen are going to have a commission of five lawyers, at a salary of seven or eight thousand dollars a year apiece, to pass on all laws, recommend all legislation, and take from the misguided and miser- able common people any chance to go wrong and hurt some dear corporation by ill-advised restrictions. The State Bar Association wants five of its members made into a commission, that shall hold office until they are 68 years old, after which they shall be retired on a pension of $2,500 a year for life. This commission to codify the laws—that is, to fix them up for the law- yers’ convenience—and then to act as not only an advisory committee, but as a veto and censor board ON ALL LAWS FOR THE STATE! We don’t know when the next twilight session of the state yeggmen will convene: when it does, we suggest these gentlemen follow the lead of their politer brethren of the State Bar Association combine, and take over the conduct of the police departments of the state. If five corporation lawyers can make the laws for the big robber barons, why should five lesser thugs of Yegg Alley not have the privilege of determining whom the laws shall affect? Doesn’t Crooked Tooth Jimmy, of holdup fame, have as much right to his trade as Jakey Furth, who filches franchises and oppresses a city; and if Jakey’s stool- pigeons can make his laws, can’t Jimmy’s pals also protect him from the baneful operation of such laws as are left? About the only thing needed to make the adoption of the initiative amendment unanimous was the chatter of these legal magpies in the trees of spe cial privilege. Oh, yes! by the way, the State Bar Assassination crew chose for its new head one W. T. Dovell, of Seattle, partner of E. C. Hughes, excusers extraordinary for the Jakey Furth crew. Likewise Herr Dovell was the chief lobbyist at the last legislature against the eight-hour law for women and compensation act; chiefly for that cute little infant bandit known as the Pacific States Telephone Company. Therefore he has all of the qualifications necessary to head the honorable herd of corporation lawyers. And these chaps take themselves seriously.
