An important paper on bribery was
read by Adolph Moses Of Illinois. He
called attention to the decision Of the
supreme court in the Counselman case.
which caused congress to amend the in
terstate commerce act in 1888 to effect
ually grant immunity against the self
determination Of witness in testifyins
before court. Mr.. Moses urges that an
examinatio be made Of the various
statutes, national and state, to determine
| whether they offer sufficient protection
to the witness and to prepare uniform
statute for the various states.
THE public mind" said Mr.. Moses,
! ''has become firmly impressed with the
belief that powerful aggregations of
capital have had considerable success in
corrupting legislative and municipal as
semblies and public officials. II be-
hooves the American Bar association, as
leaders Of public opinion and trainers of
proper legislation, to suggest such
amendatory legislation as may be eff
fective in compelling bribe-givers and
bribe-takers to testify against each other
under promise OF constitutional immun-
ity."
