fort defending him when everyone
knows he is guilty?”
The obvious answer is that not
everyone knows all the material
lacts. The accused in not a crimi-
nal in any legal sense until, by
due process of law and under rules
of evidence insuring equal justice,
the court and jury arrive at the
conclusion that he has committed a
crime.
The Canons of Ethics governing
the lawyers of Texas say: “It is
the right of a member (of the
State Bar of Texas) to undertake
the defense of a person accused of
crime, regardless of his personal
opinion as to the guilt of the ac-
cused; having undertaken such de
fense, the member is bound by all
fair and honorable means, to pre-
sent every'defense that the law of
the land permits, to the end that
no person may be deprived of life
or liberty but by due process of
law.”
If this were not the case, inno
cent persons, victims only of sus-
picious circumstances, might be
denied proper defense. Such legal
defense in a basic principle of
American justice. The rights of
■ he accused to defend himself are
nowhpre as well guarded as in the
British Commonwealth and the
United States where government
is based on common law.
In France and other European
countries a person accused of a
crime is presumed to be guilty.
If he is to escape the penalties of
the law, he is obliged to prove
that he is innocent. But in common
law countries an accused person
is presumed to be innocent until
the state presents enough proper-
ly admissible evidence to convince
an impartial jury that he is guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt.
In serious cases, if the accused
cannot afford to hire his own
attorney, the court is required to
appoint a lawyer to defend him
without charge. The Canons of
Ethics require the lawyer to de-
fend such a man with the same
vigor and skill as he would an od-
dinary client.
Corresponding to the Canon
governing lawyers who defend the
accused, there is one for the prose-
cuting attorney—the attorney re-
tained by the government to pre-
sent its case against the accused.
The Canons of Ethics on this point
say: “It should be the primary
duty of a member engaged in pub-
lic prosecution not to convict, but
to see that justice is done.”
How seriously the public, as
well as lawyers, considers the
rights of defendants accused of
crime is found not only in indigna-
tion against government officers
who violate these rights, but also
against mobs )vhich try to take the
law into their own hands. If either
officers or mobs can take over the
law, then no one is safe and the
basis of our type of civilization is
gone. The laws pertaining to crim-
inal trials were made, not only to
protect the rights of fife accused,
but to protect the riglW of all
persons.

Increased Farm Income Offset
By Greater Increase In Costs
Of Running Farms In N-Texas
TEXAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
By John E. Surratt and Marshall
E. Surratt, Community Re-
Search Service, Dallas.
Upon the request of newspaper
publishers and editors of this area,
this map on farm and ranch in-
come has been reproduced so that
you, the men and women, boys
and girls who build your home
community may have a better un-
derstanding of where we are go-
ing, where we can go. Ordinarily,
statistics are dry, dull reading. The
writers and your editor are trying
to make these statistics on the ac-
companying map alive, truly vital
facts that will give a clearer un-
derstanding of what is happening
and that will inspire the young
people to want to build better and
finer home communities. Special
permission has been given your
editor to publish the copyrighted
map.
We, the writers, have as our
work the building of cities. But we
are convinced that cities grow on-
ly as the farm and ranch family
prospers. And we are equally con-
vinced that whether we go up or
down depends upon our young peo-
ple and the inspiration which
can instill in them.
These figures on the map merit
your careful study. And although
they are in millions of dollars, they
do not indicate that the farmer is
getting rich at the expense of the
rest of us. In fact, such prosper-
ity as is enjoyed by the farmer or
rancher and his family is the basis
for such wealth as comes to the
rest of us. Admitted of course that
the rest of us have in recent years
also been reaping temporary war-
contract dollars in some communi-
ties, and in this part of the coun-
try enjoying the relatively tempo-
rary oil and gas production dollar.
The figures on the map show
sales from all farm and ranch
products during the year reported
at each census—including crops,
dairy products, poultry products,
other livestoock products including
sales of livestock, and timber and
nursery sales from farms.
Sales from agricultural products
for all the 71 counties of North-
Central Texas shown on the map
rose from $137,985,000 at the 1940
census to $416,573,000 at'the 1950
census. For the rest of Texas this
was $301,079,000 at the 1940 cen-
sus and $1,336,479,000 at the 1950
census. The ten-year-increase for
this area was 202 per cent com-
pared with an increase of 344 per
cent for the rest of Texas.
In reviewing the accompanying
map the reader should keep in
mind that fact that between these
two census dates there were price
changes which accounted for most
of the dollar changes shown on the
map. Production has actually
dropped on some farm products.
Comparisons of farm commodity
prices, as reported by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture for the
years covered by these two census,
disclose increases as follows: Cot-
ton, 215 per cent; wheat, 172 per
cent; corn, 113 per cent; oats, 113
per cent; grain sorghums, 97 per
cent; sorghum forage, 117 per
cent; peanuts, 206 per cent; wat-
ermelons, 154 per cent; fresh to-
matoes, 111 per cent; hogs, 142
per cent; pecans, 93 per cent; milk,
136 per cent; cream, 151 per cent;
milk cows, 247 per cent; other cat-
tle, '284 per cent; sweet potatoes,
194 per cent. Even higher prices
were paid for farm products dur-
ing some years between the 1940
and 1950 census, and since the lat-
est census.
But with these increases in the
prices of farm products were
greater increases in farm ex-
penses, the expenses going way
ahea|d of increases in the prices of
the things which the farmer had to
Jpeill
On the single item of hired la-
i lorjlthe total cost to the farmers
',)f all the counties of North-Cen-
ral Texas on the map was $16,-
519,000 at the time of the 1940
census. Ten years later $62,596,000
was the amount these farmers paid
out jfor hired labor. Every other ex-
pense for the farmer went up in
like! manner.
iry farming faced great ob-
stacles during war years, with
e controls on dairy products
nd greatly increased fee®, and
ivestock costs cutting into! the
lairy farmer’s profit. Milk prices
letween the years on the map in-
leased 136 .per cent, cream went
ip 151 per cent, but the cost of a
milk cow went up 247 per cent,
nd the total outlay for feed in
his area for all livestock and
oultry went up 372 per cent.
A 284 per cent increase in the
rice of beef cattle caused many
armers to go into the cattle busi-
i ess in a big way. For this North-
ientral Texas area, however, the
(heif increase was from 1940 to
1945, with a decrease in number
of cattle between 1945 and 1950
due to the fact that there were too
many cattle on too few acres of
pasture, with much of this poor
pasture. During that period the
total cost of feed for all livestock
and poultry increased from $11,-
898.000 at the 1940 cencus to $56,-
224.000 at the 1950 census.
More efficiency in our farming,
better educated farmers, better
markets for our farm products,
hard-surface farm roads to get the
farmer and his family to school,
church and market—all are needed
for greater prosperity in this area.
City and farm people must work
together to get these. And our
boys and girls, with our encour-
agement, are the ones to see the
job done.
