laws. Inc man making JQlS ASSAULT ~
usually either a prominent lawyer or
an editor who takes his policy from
the financiers and his arguments from
their attorneys. II the former, he has
advised many wealthy malefactors and
he knows well that, thanks to the adj
vice of the lawyers like himself, a GER
tain kind of corporations have turned
the law into an admirable instrument
to render it impossible to get at the
head of the corporation, the man who
is really most guilty.
when we are able to put the real
wrong-doer in prison, this is what we
strive to do; this is what we have ac-
tually done with some very wealthy
criminals, who. moreover, represented
that most baneful of all alliances, the
corruption of organized politics and
the corruption of high finance. This
is what we have done in the Gaynor
and Greene case, in the case OF the
misapplication of funds in connection
with certain great banks in Chicago,
in the land fraud cases, where, as in
other cases likewise, neither the high
est political position nor the possess
ion of great wealth has availed to save
the Offenders from prison. The fed
eral government does scourge sin; it
does so beyond the sinners fear; for
it has put behind the bars with impair.
tial severity the powerful financier
the powerful politician, the railroad
land thief, the rich contractor no
matter how high their station, against
whom criminal misdeeds can be
proved.
Cali their wealth and power cannot
protect them. But it often happens
that the effort to imprison given de-
PENDANT is certain to be futile, while il
is possible to fine him or to fine the
corporation of which he is head; sc
that, in other words, the only way OF
furnishing the wrong is by fining the
corporation, unless we are content tC
proceed personally against the minor
agents. The corporation lawyers, tc
whom l refer, and their employers are
the men mainly responsible for this
state of things, and their responsible
ty is shared with all who ingeniously
oppose the passing of just and effect
i've laws, or who fail to execute them
when they have been put on the stat
ute books. Much is said in those at
tacks upon the policy of the present
administration about the rights of in
nocent stockholders.
THAT stakeholder is not innocent
who voluntarily purchases stock in q
corporation whose methods and man
agement he knows to be corrupt; the
stockholders are bound to try to Sc
cure honest management, or else they
are stopped from complaining about
the proceedings the government finds
necessary in order to make the cor
pOration obey the law. There has
been in the past grave wrongs done in
nocent stockholders by overcapitaliza
ton, stock watering, stock jobbing and
stock manipulation
