wlScONSIN'S NEW LAW

Wisconsin's anti-graft law, which
became effective Tuesday, is designed
to reach corruption in business ,.
providing heavy penalties for those
who bride employees in relation 20
their employees business or those who
accept brides Graft" in business
has not benn discussed so extensively
as corruption in politics and public
life, but it is quiet as demoraliZing
and much more difficult to remedy
than corruption in public service. It
takes varying forms and reaches every
branch of employ, from the servan1
who accepts tips for buying SUPPLE
from a certain grocer, the stewart
who takes commissions" on purchases
for his employer up to the life in
surance director who takes profit
on bonds which as a broker he sells
to himself as one of the managers
of a corporation.
No matter how indirect the prof.
to the corrupt employe. nc matter
how well disguised the practice no:
how common, the agent who accepts
gifts or benefits from another with
whom he is dealing for his employer
is guilty Of a breach of trust. is es-
sentially and criminally dishonest and
deserves punishment of the severest
kind
Laws to make men honest are Of
little value except as deterrents for
the weak or inherently dishonest: un-
less the individual standard of morals
is high, the public view is not likely
TO be improved much by the mere
enactment of a statute But there is
some good to be derived from the
publicity which comes of conviction
under such a law because one or two
examples of punishment will go u
long way toward showing the follisll-
ness of dishonesty from a purely bust
ness standpoint The effect OF the
Wisconsin law will be watched with
considerable interest outside tina;
or how little can be achieved in the
eradication of business evils by iegis-
latiOn.
