SEATTLE STAR. Brees. Pal a dell a Ae i They Hear About Our Corporation Lawyers Back in the East (From the Toledo News-Bee.) We do admire high art of whatever description. If we Started out to be a thicf, we believe we would try to steal elephants. rather than hams, or red hot stoves rather than milk les. If we wanted to be a professional fool, we'd try for a poet laureateship rather than statesmanship, or something else Bimilarly common and inconspicuous. We are led to these reflections by the action of the Wash- {ington State Bar association in convention at Spokane. Most anybody can steal hams or milk bottles. Most anybody can be @ Statesman. But only the most high artists could devise ways and means of government such as these Washington corpora- tion lawyers propose. : This bar association wants five of its members made into a commission, whose members shall hold office until they are 68 old, afterward to retire on $2,500 pensions. This com- mission is to codify the laws and have power to CENSOR AND VETO ALL LAWS OF THE STATE. i ” We unqual: ly pronounce this to be high art. It is in Wisputably “the best ever.” Stealing elephants or hot base- burners, or poet Iaureating are “not in it” with this. We con- fidently expect this the aeons to stand as the acme of state- craft for many years. To be sure, a Washington state assoc’ tion of burglars and pickpockets may later on trot forward a ition to run the police by a committee of its own mem- toe bat our admiration will surely be true to this lawyer plan of governing the people until then. ‘There when just reaching manhood, would Teele, fa nln yon pve = Pe years.
