STOCK IN al" ROADS

STOCK IN al" ROADS
This is good day to take look
at how the wheels go around on the
inside works of government. Seven
judges of the supreme court of ILL
nois opened their mouths yesterday
and spoke judgments. On this side
of the United States supreme court
what they say goes. They are the
big seven of Illinois. They can kick
to pieces any law of the city coun-
Gil of Chicago or the legislature of
Illinois. They can help along fight
ing states attorney or they can
block him so he hasn't got toehold.
On big Chicago cases these are the
facts: After two and half years
States Atty Hoyne gets permission
of the supreme court to start an &C
ton against big stockrigging game
in the elevated railroads. 1t will take
at least one year to try the case in
circuit court in Cook county. And
then the case will jimmy along about
two years, maybe more, on appeal
from circuit court to the Illinois su-
preme court. How's that for speed?
A $1O,OOO,OOO stock swindle was
pulled off in the financial organiza-
ton of the Union Elevated and Union
Consolidated Elevated railways, &C
cording to Hoyne's allegation. He
wants to pry loose this artction swim
die and show the people of Cook
county where certain Chicago mil
ionaires got theirs. 1t takes him two
years and half to get the supreme
court to say he can go ahead. And
it will take five years all told to find
out whether $10,000,000 swindlers
can be reached through the courts of |
Illinois. An auto bandit or a State |
street window smasher is generally |
tried and sent to Joliet in less than
five months.
The newsiest feature of the case
is that States Atty Hoyne is asking
