Great interest IN the refundiug measure
is manifested in money circles" Wher
the secretary of the treasury was in New
York, last week, he received from ban
kers. 1t Is said, information which viii
induce him to earnestly advocate the pas
sage Of the funding bill 10 its present
shape. With the advocacy of the
secretary of the treasury, it is believed
the bill will speedily pass"
What has the secretary of the trea-
sury to do with the advocacy OF the pas
sage of measure by the congress7 He
has neither vote Lor voice in either house
He is an officer OF the executive branch
OF the constitution-oue of the president s
secretaries. By what right does one of
the presidents secretaries interfere with
the legislative function, and endeavor to
influence legislative action on a particular
measure? BY what methods, having no
vote nor voice in either chamb can he
exert such influence upon the legislative
action?
Legal right he certainly has none, nor
legal methods. Those men Of immaculate
wisdom, the fathers" of our political
arrangements, took extraordinary pains to
fence away the executive from the legis
lative by legal barriers so rigid and in
movable that no member Of the admins
tratlon can get over or around them law
fully, Having no right of speech 10 the
legislature, the treasury secretary exerts
his influence on legislation in other ways.
By an oversight of Mr.. San Randall, the
rules do not exclude him from the cham
Der. He may talk with members In the
lobties and cloak rooms, and he does so.
He may, by the courtesy of member
who will lend him his chair. whisper his
reasons in favor Of measure to another
member CD the floor. Fl may do by in
direct and furtiVe methods what the Law
forbids him to do by direct, open. and
honorable methods He may thus secret
~. in cloak rooms and private places,
furnish to legislators the information and
reason which are indispensable to we'll
considered legislation, anu can only be
furnished by members of the government
but which mem bers of the government are
legally forbidden to furnish to the legisla
ture by open public speech pom legislative
questions. Habitually, therefore, mem
bers of the government present their views
to legislators, and in some degree influence
10 the secret, fGrtive, back
door ways which an absurd exclusion of
them from participation in the legislative
debates compels them to adopt. The fault
is not with the officers who pursue these
turtive methods 1t is with a stupid and
absurd law which forbids auy other.
