which we live and I am confident that we will use it with increasing benefit.” An instance of a state use of taxation to kill a business may be found in New York. The manufacturer of adulterated butter was compelled to pay $600 license fee and a tax of ten cents a pound for the butter, and he went out of business. Theoretically the manufacturer of such butter was legalized, but the result was to stop it. It was recently proposed at Washington to tax the chauffeur out of the rich man's car on the theory that he who was able to employ a chauffeur should pay a big price for the privilege. Mr. Judson, in his work on Interstate Commerce, 2nd Ed, Sec. 41, says: "It was not until twenty years after the close of the Civil War, that changed economic conditions of the country made intolerable the discriminating legislation of the states and led to the judicial declaration by the Supreme Court in 1886, that in the matter of the interstate commerce, the United States were but one country and are and must be subject to but one system of regulation and not a multitude of systems." Such a conception must be applied to many other branches of our common life. The imminent and imperative necessity exists for a well defined system of administrative law. To this end must the lawyer and the judge, the legislator and the statesman, the business man, the economist, the social and industrial expert, give time and pondering thought. It will be a product of their joint effort. Our day is one of unity and the object of it all is that man may have life more abundantly. The lawyer, if he will hold his place among those who lead and mold progress, must break the shell of conservatism, renounce his worship of the old, become familiar with the new and tolerant of the social worker, who lays bare the human heart. He is forced to take a larger and more intelligent interest in legislation, on the administrative side. His time and talent must be devoted to producing a system of laws for the effective accomplishment of human affairs in a republic, whose ideal is the liberty to pursue happiness on the part of every individual. He must hang onto the basic ideals of our system without fear of disaster and not imitate Kerrigan, who was letting O'Brien down by a rope from the top of an eight-story building. When O'Brien was half way down Kerrigan let go the rope. Later they asked Kerrigan why he had let loose of the rope. "Sure, I thought it was going to break", he said. Where is there a better place for the Colorado lawyer and the Colorado Bar Association to begin, than in our own State, where the same problems, tendencies and needs, knock at the door of our local self government?
