BUSINESS MEN AND LEGISLATION

Several hundred members of the New York Merchants Association as sembled the other day to hear a talk by Mr Davies, federal commissioner of corporations, on the purpose and <. powers Of the new federal trade com mission When Mir Davies had fin- ss ished. they listened to very blunt talk ny Mir Childs, plain business man who charged that business men themselves were in large part fespon- sible for 'inept trade legislation" " When congress was considering the Clayton bin creating the trade com ~ mission, most business men, he sug- gested, according to the published ac- T count of his remarks, didn't know whether it was a laundry bill or a brother of Buffalo Bill" The real <, cause of so much disagreement over these matters he added, lis due to the ignorance of congress on these subjects and the stupid want of will lingness on the part of the average <. business man to study and under stand public policies.
 It is related that his auditors ap- plauded this not very gentle indict- ment of the average business man. " who is a figure of speech merely and may be used as a target without of. fense to individuals. The indictment contains enough of truth to make it worth the study of individual busi- ness men. Probably it should be broadened to cover other classes, but the limited application made by the New York business man affords p'enty of ground for comment. The average business man" does not lack intelligence, of course. He does lack, or thinks that he lacks, time to study public policies" When a legisla. tive proposal directly touches his own business. he is apt to sit up and take notice. When it affects him indi rectly. he is tempted to take some body elses word regarding it's mean. ing and merit, If he belongs to a commercial organization which is asked to express the collective view of it's members, he may take the trouble to attend the meeting at which the question is discussed-aad he may not It depends largely upon his other engagements. Even if he goes, he may hear only one side pre- sented, and form his conclusions without taking the trouble to study the other side.
 The result is not always satisfac. tory. Sometimes the average busi. ness man" is led into error by his failure to study and understand" a given question. Congress, having studied both sides. may displease him by disregarding his expressed wishes s and it may turn out that congress, after all, was right. For example: It was the New York Merchants Asso- citation, if we are not mistaken, that $ urged the suppression of information regarding export clearances some 5 months ago. We suspect that it's i. members were as glad to have that ban lifted this month as were busi- ness men elsewhere.

noticed the extension of broader humanitarian
principles, we'll as the need of increased power
IN the state over property and persons when nee
essary for the greatest good.
There at enc time growing sense Of sus-
pcion in quarters that government officials
could not be trusted, as evidenced by the numcr-
Gus constitutional restrictions imposed upon them,
but gradually this suspicion disappeared and de
veloped into the opposite view which proved that
the people OF this state have merely insisted upon
a capable administration of the public's business
regardless of the language embodied in the Con-
stitution Indeed it would seem to be impossible
20 believe that a state like New York, with such
population, possessing such skill and common
sense, could have ever failed to be an example of
value Thus considered when the people of New
York State deliberately propose limitations upon
the exercise of their powers and those of
their representatives, they are providing for the
stronger hand of a sef-governing democracy
which first controls and then guides in the way
of true government
As TO the procedure adopted by constitutional
conventions when amending the fundamental law
the state constitutions themselves usually contain
no specific provisions as to how the members OF
the constitutional conventions should act in franz
ing new articles OF course, it may be possible
for the convention to conduct all Of its works d-
rectly in a general gathering, was the prac-
tice during the earliest conventions held in this
country, but such plan would now be considered
cumbersome and it is usually the custom TO make
use of committees.
Ordinarily these committees are composed OF
small membership, particularly the one organized
TO prepare rough draft of new Constitution.
But the most common procedure is to appoint
number Of committees often high as thirty IN
number, and to distribute the several parts Of
the Constitution TO be drafted. This procedure
was adopted at the last Constitutional Convention,
held in Michigan in 1908. and is especially note
worthy in the results accomplished.
Immediately after the election Of the president
and other permanent officers of this body, COM
mittee on permanent organization and order of
business appointed. upon whose suggestion
twenty-eight standing committees author
lied, the members being appointed by the pres-
dent Much of the important work Of the conven-
ton was done in these committees Proposals in
troduced by members were read and referred to
the appropriate place. When reported by this
group they taken up by the committee Of
the whole, and when reported by this committee
were referred TO COMMITTEES arrangements
and ph-aseology.
The proposals, when reported to this latter

D What the Constitutional Convention Will Take UP

committee, were put upon their second reading
and after this were voted upon. II adopted, they
were again referred to the committee upon ar
rangement and phraseology, which, after all pro-
posals had been so considered reported the COM
plete revision as agreed upon. This final rev-
sion was then considered by sections of the COM
mittee of the whole, was reported to the conven-
tion, and then put upon third reading and
voted upon by articles or whole.
Such procedure as was adopted in the Michigan
convention gives four different opportunities for
discussion and amendment of every proposal But,
more important still, it gives the committee on
organization and phraseoogy great influence by
allowing it the opportunity to revise the language
of each proposal after it is agreed to in the
mttee of the whole and before it is finally adopted.
Proposals revised come again to this committee
to be consolidated in a complete Constitution, and
a result of this the Michigan Constitution
in 1908 is the best drafted of the recent const-
tutions.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-21

In Constitution making, however, it is important
to remember that times change, that new things
arc invented, new devices, new schemes, new plans
new uses Of corporate power and that these
changes are to 20 on hereafter for all time. For
this reason especially, it is important that while
care should be taken to place proper restriction
upon the Legislature, at the same time 1t IS equal
ly important to leave what properly belongs to the
field Of legislation for future Legislatures. AS
some one must be trusted, it is essential to trust
to each branch of the Legislature just what be-
longs to it in order that it may perform its proper
legislative function.
Legislative restrictions have naturally given rise
to the opinions often expressed that there is in
creasing distrust in this country Of representa-
tive institutions and that this is shown by the
steadily growing number Of Constitutional restrc-
tions upon the power Of the Legislature, by the
prohibition Of special legislation, by the adoption
Of biennial instead Of annual sessions, and by the
extension Of home rule.
Nevertheless, looking over the whole field from
another point Of vew it will be realized that
many provisions which seem to be at first con-
sidered as limitations upon the legislative are
nothing more than another method for increasing
and eoualizng the right of all. Thus, the provi-
sions prohibiting the Legislature from passing
special laws whenever general laws are apphca-
bic are, after all only checks upon the creation
Of nonopolies and special privileges. Home rule
rroperly considered is only extension of the
principle Of self-goycrnment and not a restric-
tion upon the Legislature. The substitution OF
biennial for annual sessions of the Legislature IS
a recognition by the people of the fact that too
much legislation, like too much medicine, may
impede instead of promote their welfare.
The fact must be taken into consideration that
the advance Of popular education has been rapid,
especially during the last decade. Consequently,
the difference between the mass Of voters and the
members Of the Legislature has gradually dmin-
ished. Therefore the voters feel that they can
govern themselves directly through their own
constitutions, rather than indirectly through the
Legislature.
Moreover, the democracy Of the present day is
much more active than formerly. 1t is more prac-
tical and more disposed to extend the sphere of
governmental interference and less content 10
rely upon general principles. This later change
must be at glance in the phraseology of
the most recent Constitution. which omits the
broad declarations of human rights, although
equally pronounced is the evidence of increasing
faith I'm the efficacy Of the essential principle of
true democracy actual equality of rights. Along
with the extension of these principles is also
