THE "BICAMERAL BOY."

Mr. Choate deserved the congratula-
tions he received from fellow members
of the bar on the skill he displayed in
presenting the ca; e of his client, the re-
ceiver of the New York City Railway
Company. In particular. tho use he
made of the plea of the defence that the
shifting of assets implanted Of was
simply from one to another chamber of
"bicameral box" showed that he had
lost none of his adroitness and pungency
of speech.
The "bicameral box is phrase which
is not likely TO lose its place in the vo-
cabulary of high finance" In the
transaction complained of the New York
City Railsay Company made its notes
for something more than S9.0000O0 TO
the Metropolitan Securities Company,
controlled by the same directors, which
company accepted them at 70-that is
TO say. paid about $6.300,000 into the
treasury of the New York City Rail-
way Company. 4 month or so later
the New York City Railway Company
redeemed its notes at par, paying out
more than S9,O0O.0OO where it had just
taken in only about S6.3O0.000. Thus
S2,194.2OO of assets disappeared from
the New York City Railway Company
chamber of the "bicameral box" into the
Metropolitan Securities Company cham
ber. The receiver of the New York City
Railway, having access only to the
empty chamber of the box. thinks it does
make difference in which compart-
ment assets are kept.

NATIONAL LAW DEPARTMENT,

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: During the course of an investigation
for many months past of the questions con-
nected with the enforcement of the COM,
modities clause against the railroads have
frequently had thrust at me by railroad
lawyers or from other railroad sources the
idea that the speaker looked with contempt
upon the efforts of government attorneys to
carry out the provisions of that portion of
the Interstate Commerce act. because the
lawyers retained by the capital Of the cor
porations could be depended upon to defeat
such a law before the courts, as against the
Attorney General and his assistants, unless
absolutely no legal difficulties attended its
enforcement.
1t was not, however, until only the other
day that the general attorney of one Of the
most important trunk lines, in converse
ton, sneered at 'those $500 lawyers at
Washington"
Remember that, IL the Attorney General
and his assistants can be considered to rep
resent the people of the United States. the
gentleman In question was himself one or
the clients of those men whose small salary
he fiouted. 1t would be shameful. IL true,
that the public service could not command
competent lawyers. But IL is not true.
While the scale of the salaries In the De-
partment of Justice is perhaps regrettable.
there have been many men of emnence in
their profession in the past more than
willing to accept the government title, and
there are, no doubt, others to-day OF first
ability (and have lately had such con-
spicuous instances among members of the
bar of New York City, to whom money is
not the supreme regard.
But what OF the railroad director or rail-
road general attorney who contemplates
with satisfaction the money at their COM
mand as. competent to find a flaw or techni-
cality to destroy the effect OF any regula-
tive statute. and thus defeat the will of the
people? Does not this seem very much like
prostitution of the noble profession of the
law?
Mr.. Wickersham has been commonly
rated as a lawyer in the highest rank. and
evidently the structure quoted was intend
ed for the assistants in the Department of
Justice. Some of the latter have clearly
shown their capacity to grapple success
fully with the highest paid corporation
counsel. EMLEN HARE MILLER

plans for controlling as well as supply
ing the local market, have sometimes
failed to realize that in so far as they
have sought to supplement supply by
control they have been committing an
offence against the political and social
order.
Monopolization in any market is
against the public interest and is forbid
den by law. But monopolization or par
tial monopoliZation in the food market
is a particularly serious thing. One in
dividual may despoil another, and the
net harm to the community be small.
But when few individuals or corpora
tions corner the market for necessary
of life they commit cumulative offence
against millions Of victims. doing the
greatest wrong TO the most helpless
members of society.
Public opinion has not been sufficient
IL alive TO the quality of the act of con-
spring to put an artificial value on
food products. 1t is more so now, and
il behooves the distributors of every
appearance of concerted movement TO
control supply or prices. If this country
is TO maintain its present competitive
system in industry. trade and production
free markets must be restored. Restraint
of trade must be done away with and
the monopolist and forestaIler dealt
with in his true character.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-27

can be no doubt that the introduction
OF the primary will necessitate q reduc-
tcn in the number of elections. The
primary is, in fact, another election, and
states with the annual system, using the
primary. would overtax the voters. A
multiplication of elections would be ex-
penslve and onerous. Pennsylvania
found that out after its new primary
system was put in force. AS a conse-
quence the constitution has just been
altered so as to abolish the odd-year
state elections and to shift the munich
pal and local elections. formerly held IN
February, TO November in the odd years.
This change will avoid the inconven-
lences under the present system of prac-
tically four elections in one year. New
York can easily amend its calendar, be-
cause in state elections it is already on
the biennial basis. The term of the
Governor could be heightened TO four
years, that Of state Senator's to four
years and of Assemblymen to two years.
Pennsylvania has that plan now. and it
works satisfactorily. 1t is also in use
in Maryland. Virginia. North Carolina.
Florida, West Virginia. Delaware. Illi-
ncis, Kentucky, Oklahoma. Missouri,
Montana, Nevada, Oregon. Washington
and Wyoming. If an emergency arises
the Legislature can be called In special
session at any time. A regular iegis-
lative session every other year would
apparently insure greater tranquility
and probably produce better political
results

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

The movement in this state for bien-
NAL legislative sessions and elections
and a four-year term for the Governor
and other state officers seems sure to
gather headway. Hitherto the polti-
clans of both parties have been averse to
restricting the scope of their political
ACTIVITIES, but as the tasks put upon
them are being multiplied by demands
Id every party organization for larger
measure of popular rule. and old-fash-
ioned easy leadership is going out of
date, their own interests require
slackening of the pace, and 20 that ex-
tent coincide with the best interests of
the public. Less frequent elections,
fuller popular control Of nominations
and concentration of responsibility in
the hands of fewer elective officials
would probably better fit the political
conditions of the near future.
The experience of most of the states
OF the Union has been that longer terms
and fewer legislative. sessions not only
save public money but insure a moro
economical and advantageous expendi
ture of political energy When popular
government was being extended in tbe
first half of the last century its advocates
thought that they could not have foo
much of good thing. Frequent legis-
iative sessions were the rule. Some
states even maintained two capitals and
lndulged in the luxury of two meetings
of the Legislature each year. The .wo-
capital habit persisted up to within
twenty-five or thirty years. and ono
state, Georgia. only recently gave I'D the
two sessions year practice. ONLY
those states in which the traditions If
the past are most deeply rooted have
continued to adhere to the annual ses-
sion plan. They are Massachusetts.
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey
South Carolina and Georgia. All belong
to the group Of original states. Every
commonwealth OF later origin has been
influenced by the more modern tendency
toward less frequent sessions. and the
seven other original states have also
conforned to ii. Some states. in remak-
Ing their constitutions. have gone to the
extreme OF introducing quadrennial ses-
slons. but that experiment was forced
