The Bill provides for the election of a Public Defender in each county and city of California, after the approval of the local Board of SuperThis law will shortly be effective in nine counties in California, which includes all the big centers of population in that State. It is important to note that this Statewide legislation was passed after eight years’ successful demonstration of the efficiency and economy of the office of Public Defender in Los Angeles, and that there was a very insistent demand by the principal civic organizations in San Francisco for the enactment of the new law. A vigorous effort will be made at the next session of the New York Legislature to establish the office of Public Defender in various counties of this State, and there is reason to believe that the proposed Bill will receive the support of numerous civic bodies. “The old idea that the State can do no wrong is no longer regarded as sound by those who are giving thoughtful consideration to our criminal court system,” says Mayer C. Goldman, to protect the legal rights of those who by reason of pove-ty are unable Voluntary legal aid or charitable intervention The ‘presumption of innocence’ requires the State The present system of ‘assigned counsel’ is fundamentally wrong from any angle. “The Public Defender will promote justice, save expense, facilitate the disposition of criminal cases and give a real sigificance to the doc “Public Defense is essential AT LIBERTY—A-1 PIANIST; A.
