Government by Commission.

Already New York State has created,
through it's Legislature, commissions fer
the supervision Of most of the pursuits
in which ts citizens engage, and within
few years, if the tendency to regulate
the everyday affairs Of life is not checked
no act. however simple, will be performed
legally unless it has the approval OF a
board of oficeholders drawing comfort
able salaries or fees in the name Of the
People. Now il is proposed to create
Il Meat Dealers Commission Of three
persons, appointed by the Governor
from a list Of FIVE nominees submitted
by the Retail Meat Dealers Protective
Association.
This commission is to issue licenses
10 'dl persons engaged in the sale of
meat at the rate Of 81 for each license,
and no unlicensed person shall EN-
bark in the meat business after Sept.
of this year without a license. To get a
license the applicant must pass an ex-
summation to be devised by the commits
sion. The violator Of the act would be
guilty Of a misdemeanor and liable to
fine and Imprisonment.
Assemblyman HoRN1DGE is the intro
ducer of the bill providing for the Meat
Dealers Commission. He Is not play
ing joke on his colleagues, either. The
State has established an unnecessary
and silly tribunal known as the BARRIERS
Commission, before which all persons
DESTROYS to cut hair and trim boards
must demonstrate their ability. If a
Barbers' Commission, why not a Retail
Meat Dealers Commission, or a Tailors'
Commission, or a Clothiers' Commission?

Of course, We cannot equitsbly do what
we prohibit European Powers from doing.
Are, then, future American claimants to
be left without redress?
There Is another point Of view, from
which we can hardly be expected TO re-
gard with complacenoy the arrangement
which the Caracas Government has pro-
posed TO European bondholdes. II all
the important custom houses Of Yene-
zuela are 20 be confdcd for half a century
to the agents Of European creditors, we
might as well renounoe' the hope Of ex-
panding our export trade to that Latin
American republic. It IL true that we
retain the barren honor OF upholding
the Monroe Doctrine and Of safeguard
ing Venezuela against any attempt on
the part Of the European Powers TO trans
form the ffty-year-long tenure Of custom
houses into a permanent occupation OF
territory.
When we reflect upon the possible con-
sequences Of the contract with European
bondholders into which President CAS-
TRIO, perhaps for reasons Of his own, pro-
poses to enter, we are moved TO repeat
what we have said in connection with our
inchoate treaty with Santo Domingo,
that il anybody is to discharge for an
indefinite period the function Of receiver
for a Latin-Americsn commonwealth it
had better be the United States.

upon the total expenditures Of q candi-
date, directly or through committees,
and reports from both candidates and
and committees were required. The Wis
consin law Of 1897 distinguished legiti-
mate from illeRitimate expenditures. In
the same year laws we're passed by Ten
nessee, Florida and Nebraska absolutely
prohibiting contributions by corpora
tons TO political parties or candidates.
Only in a few cases notably in Ohio, 1902,
have the corrupt practices acts been
repealed and in the Ohio case the author
Of the law, JAMES r, GARFIELD, is known
TO have advocated amendment rather
than repeal.
1t is obvious, as Mr.. BELMONT said
in his RcrieU article, that owing 70 the
failure Of the existing New York statute
20 require any statement from political
or campaign committees, 1t is possible in
this State to avoid publicity with regard
10 expenditures for any amount or for
any purposes. So long as a candidate
can make an irresponsible committee the
medium Of disbursements, evasion Of the
law is invited The law, on the other
hand, would be rendered operative If
we should follow the precedent estab-
lished mother States, and exact publicity
of campaign committees under effective
penalties, including forfeiture Of Office
on the part Of the person elected.
Unquestionably, party organizations
are essential to government by parties,
but the experience Of Massachusetts, and
other States has proved that political
machinery and party efficiency would
not be impaired by the requirement Of
publicity Of expenditures from political
The resultant curtailment
of campaign contributions would cut
of camp followers, but there would be
supply of funds adequate for the e1-
penditures needed in legitimate and
honest politics. The great mass OF
voters reach their conclusion with little
assistance from the instrurhentalities
upon which campaign funds are too
often expended. Newspapers and peri
odicals constitute a more efficient educa-
tional force than the tons Of pamphlets
usually distributed during elections.

Cnmnairn Contributions.

Al Albany on March 2i ex-Judge D.
cADY HERRIcK aud PERRY BELMONT APP
peared before the Judiciary Committees
Of the two houses Of the Legislature, in
order TO advocate the bill which prohibits
corporations from contributing TO cam
paign funds and provides for the publ
cation OF all campaign contributions and
expenditures.
This bill embodies an attempt TO carry
out a proposal made by ELIHU Roof in
the New York Constitutional Convention
Of 1894. The constitutional amendment
urged by him prohibited any corporation
from using, directly or indirectly, any Of
its money or property for or in aid Of any
political party or organization, or Of any
candidate for political office, or for nom
nation for such Office, or from using any
Of its money or property in any manner
for any political purpose, or for the re-
endorsement or naturalization Of any
person for money or property so used.
II also forbade individuals to use or
promise money or my other valuable
thing TO promote the nomination for OF
election 10 office Of any person otherleise
than should beerpressly authorized by lao,
and II went on to provide that the person
for whose benefit and with whose con-
sent the said valuable consideration
should have been given or promised,
should. II elected, forfeit his office.
Mr.. Roof admitted that the language
Of the amendment ought to be so quail
fed as not to apply to corporations pub
lishing newspapers, but he expressed a
conviction that the great railroad COM
panies, insurance companies, telephone
companies and other huge aggregations
Of wealth ought to be prevented from
making large contributions Of money
for political purposes. It was also his
opinion that the proposed amendment
would operate as a protection TO cor
porations and 70 candidates against
eKorbitant demands upon them. The
amendment was ordered TO a third read
ing, but did not pass, mainly on the
ground that adequate power Of dealing
with the subject was already lodged in
the Legislature. The bill now pending
in Albany represents an eudeavor 10 ex-
ercise that power.
In the February number Of the NORTH
American ReUielS Mr.. BELMONT pointed
out that there are numerous legislative
precedents for the step which the New
York Legislature is now invited TO take.
No fewer than fifteen States have since
1890 enacted laws TO restrain and limit
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures. The first Of these laws was passed
in New York in 1890, but this has proved
very Ineffective, because IL did not at
tempt TO limit or regulate expenditures
by political committees. The Massa-
ehusetts law, which went into effect in
August, 1892, has had the result Of secur-
ing almost complete publicity by official
record with respect 10 expenditures for
the nomination and election Of candi-
dates. A violation Of lie provisions Is
punishable by fine not exceeding 81 900
cpd In certain cases, by Imprisonment
Tor not more than year. By the Mis-
sour law Of 1898 a maximum was placed

Tax AhIms at Albany

In face Of the impressive protest Of
City thousand citizens against the Stock
Transfer Tax bill, presented yesterday,
Il seems scarcely probable that the Legis-
lature will strike this blow at the financial
supremacy Of New York.
The suggested substitute Of a stamp
tax Of one cent on all bank checks is bad.
This form Of tax, always unpopular,
Is endured by the people in times Of
national emergency. It's institution by a
State Government as a method Of rails
ing ordinary revenue would be likely to
react with whirlwind force on the State
Administration responsible for it.
What's the matter with the old fash
toned direct tax on property, not on
processes Of trade?
