Be Filed
MANY $40 A DAY JUDGES

The effect of the Swayne case on other
Federal and circuit judges has been for
some time topic of discussion among
Representatives ard Senators. and late
yesterday afternoon it became known
that a series of impeachment trials of
Judges was possibility, owing to GER
tain information obtained from the
Treasury Department concerning the
manner in which some of these gentle
men have made out their expense ac-
counts
1t is pretty generally conceded that
the prime charge against Judge Swayne
OF Florida. is that he charged the Gov
ernment $40 per day for his expenses
under certain conditions, when, as a
matter of fact, his expenses did not
come to this large total
Letter From Mr. Shaw.
In a letter made public yesterday and
signed by Leslie NJ Shaw. Secretary o.
the Treasury, interesting informal ton is
given concerning five of the nine judicial
circuits in the United States. The fig
ures concern Federal and circuit judges
and are summarized in the letter as fol-
lows:
The whole number of days charged
for is 2,344. Of these 1863, or about 6a15
per cent. We're charged for at $40 per
day, and Ss1, or about 3713 per cent, at
less than so per day.
''Of the i.26O days charged for by Circuit.
judges. about Go per cent, or s24 DAYS,
were charged for at the rate of $40. and
5 about 30 per cent, 4S6 days. at less than
80
Eight circuit judges always charged
me SO rate. and four charged at a rate
less than SO.
sOf the whole number of days charged
for by district judges, 1,os4, about 50 per
cent, 639 days were charged for at $40
and about II per cent, AS days, at less
than So
Eleven district judges charged only al
the rate Of SO for $50 days, and ter
charged only at a less rate than $40 for
. 22s9 days. One district judge charged fol
50 days at less than SO, and for sever
days at SO; a second district judge
charged tor 9S days st less than SIC
and Y days at So and a third district
Judge charged for 29 days at less thar
$40. and for 10 days at slo.t
Inference in the Figures.
This large percentage of $40 per day
Inen might lead some to the inference
that judges other than Mr. Swayne
have swollen their expense accounts un-
necessarily. and this inference is what
makes Il possible that other inpeach-
ment trials might be started On the
other hand. It is known hat some OF
the so judges must have incurred ex-
penses up TO the limit when holding
court in the larger cities of the country
The expense account irregularities are
the main accusations against Judge
Swayne. although there are other minor
offenses charged. 1t is known that. as

Mr.. Richards was Surveyor OF the

Of the late Henry B. LOCKER at the time

His present duties, in connection

closely connected him with the office OF

promotion IN the same line of work.

q majority vote, favored the bsIi, but the
special committee of the Board of Chari-
ties appointed to report on the bill op-
posed It. declaring the remedy worse

Made Misdemeanor.
The bill, as first submitted, made Il a
misdemeanor for a child undar fifteen
years of ago to be upon the street after
certain hours unless accompanied by "a
parent, adult, guardian, or other person
having the legal custody of such minor. "
Under this reading minor could not
go abroad after hours with an elder
brother, CT sister, cousin, uncle, or
friend
The provision requiring written au-
thority tor minor to be upon the streets
after hours on an errand is opposed by
the Corporation Counsel on the ground
that many parents among certain class

such as The need OF physician or uledi-
cine. there is not time 70 wrste.
Il is recommended that this provision
be stricken out, and also that a child
be allowed on the streets If accom-
panied by a guardian or tother person
over fifteen years of age"
The Corporation Counsel also recom-
mends that the provision making a
minor liable 10 imprisonment for thirty
days for violation OF the law be stricken
out as being too severe for a trivial
offense-
Would Be Hardship.
The proposed bill contained section

The opinion holds that II would be

It is urged that a policeman could not

A NEW TAX DEVISED.

The New York legislature has put a tax OF
2 cents share stock transfers the metro
politan exchange, says the Minneapolis
Journal. The law is revenue measure passed
to keep New York in the list of states which
levy no land tax for state purposes The Stock
exchange members are feeling very sad about
it and the press of New York has been unani-
The Legislature, unmoved by the groanings of
Gotham, passed the bill.
There is not much probability that the tax
will divert trade from the New York exchange
to Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago People
who are trading in stocks will put their orders
in New York, as before, because New York is
the center of the industry of trading in stocks.
On tran sactions involving the actual transfer
of shares the tax is inf1ntesimal. It may be
appreciated upon wash deals" but no legis1a-
ject. Instead of transferring business this law,
if it proves revenue producer, is more likely
to stir up kindred legislation in other states,
The constant endeavor of the taxing powers
nowadays is to find new objects to levy upon
Stock transfers will look very good to rural
Legislators from this on.

offering better facilities. They have no othe3
way of competing, and yet there is much tall
of Legislation in this country which will d
away with these means of competition. Thu
is matter which the people should CAREFUL,
think out. The St. Paul Dispatch, in a recent
issue, had an excellent editorial on the subiect
which we quote in full. The Dispatch says
"There is a large measuce Of truth in til
statement made by Mr.. Peck, general counse
of the Milwaukee, in his address in Chicago
"Wednesday evening, that, in it's policies relat
ing to railways the government one hand a
tempts to compel competition and, on the other,
to prevent it. For competition is,as he said, es-
sentialy matter of discrimination, the giving
to some advantages not granted to others. In
the railway struggles for business it involves
rebates, to secure the freightage of 1srge
shippers the 1exibility of tariffs and all the
various devices adopted by traffic managers to
get business, And, at the same time, the law
prohibits, under severe penalties doing that
which is essential to competition
"Hhis inevitably results from the reluctance
to realize admit that the business of rail
way is essentially monopoly everywhere
and at those the inevitable tendency is to com
munity of monopoly The common tendency
|of competition to promote combination is
ESPECIALLY strong in railway operation. Instead
of recognizing this fact the general policy of
states nation and of cities has been to encour-
age the construction of new lines of railway
in order that they might enjoy the benefits Of
their competition for business resulting in re-
duced rates. Massachusetts, some years ago
discovered the fallacy of this and has prevented
construction of parallel roads except as the
state board of railway commissioners might
in their discretion permit it.
"In another large field we can see the fed
eral government playing at purposes,
striving to suppress competition, and to en-
courage it, and to punish it's suppression. In
it's tariff policy it proc 1aims competition to be
an evil; by the policy it aims to create
competition, and when the competition it
fostered ended in the inevitable combination it
prohibited it under pains and penalties. Gov
ernments, with their greater wisdom, may be
able to distinguish between competition which
is beneficial and that which is injurious, but it
is too much for government to ask of it's sub
jects to possess the same clearness of vision
and Observation-Disclosures of motive. 1t might have
been foreseen that, if the competition of trade
from beyond borders was bad thing to be
hindered where not suppressed, that the time
would come when those who had benefited by
this policy would logically conclude that COM
petition within borders was also injurious.
So we have the consultations, the conbin-
atoms, the communities of interest, the spheres
of industrial influence, the trade associations
labor unions, and all these forms of competition
suppression, whose appearance, PERFECTLY log
ica was followed by our laws prohibiting
