law was passed the Sheriff received "a
much as 100000 a year. The amount
the Sheriff receives now Is nowhere near
what he received before 1898, but Il Fl.

THE reason advanced for continuire
the fee system In this country Is the
danger Of loss to the sheriff because Of
suits started against him. 1t Is quite
true that danger still exists. The Con
stitution provides that counties shall no,
be liable for acts OF the Sheriff. and this
provision Is wise because otherwise "a

that the strike was not regarded as a
serious matter because Of the company's
ability to get plenty of men at Si.60 a

that $3.50 dsy was being paid for a

inquired again and said he could learn

As for the possibility Of dissolvlng
such a foundation, Prof. kirchwcy said
that II proper grounds for the dissolu-
ton existed the public would get at
them somehow. lie admitted that the
facilities for getting at the facts were
not extensive and that the courts have
no power to compel the Attorney Cen
oral to act In the circumstances, he
advocated the widest publicity for the
undertakings Of the foundation. As to
whether the foundation may not be dis
solved because of defective title, he
said
There is only one way, so far as
I see. and that has not yet been tried,
by which the question of constitution
ality could he raised, The Attorney
General may institute quo warranto pro-
ceedings to determine why these gentle
men are exercising the functions OF 4
corporation, when as a matter OF fact
they are not corporation
at Is provided in the general cor
porat lion law that an act creating a
corporation shall carry in its title the
purposes of that corporation. The gen
eral principle is that the title must
point out sufficiently To make it intelli-
gible to the casual reader the purposes
OF the corporation, the object for which

general statement of his views on
foundations such as those established
by Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie.
He said they represent In philanthropy
what the trusts represent In industry.
and he pointed out that as the oil
and steel industries were the first to
develop the trust idea. so the Rockefeller
and Carnegie foundations were the first
to develop the trust idea in philan-
thropy
He said the unemployed have now
risen to the dignity OF a permanent
social institution" and that the un-
employed are now so many that the
great dispensers of charity have given
UP the effort to feed and clothe them
He criticised the Rockefeller Founda-
ton for electing to send food to the
BelEians rather than to distribute It
among the poor of New York. He also
criticised the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research because IL seeks to
cure the hool<worm disease in foreign
countries rather than tuberculosis In the
United States.'

SEES FLAW IN
JOHN DIS BIG
FOUNDATION
Prof. Kirchwey Thinks
Charter Illegal Through
Defective Title.
POWER LIMITED ONLY
BY PUBLIC OPINION

Prof. George w Kirchwey, formerly
dean OF the Columbia law school and a
student In particular of constitutional
and corporation law brought to the
United states Commission on Industrial
Relations yesterday a confirmation of
the opinion expressed by John -. Rookie
Teller, Jr.. and jerome D. Greene that
the Rockefeller Foundation can become
a menace to democratic institutions only
on the assumption that the trustees will
forsake the ordinary principles Of decent
men and that the established machinery
Of government by law will break down.
lie said that In performing the work
for which the foundation has been
created the trustees are restrained by
the terms Of the charter, as well as
by the provisions of constitutional and
statute law, and that Notwithstanding
the generous character OF Its charter.
tho answer to the question as to what
comes within the provisions OF the char
ter is a matter not for the trustees but
for the courts to decide"

mo one of these things" Prof kirch-
wey said in reply. sis actually prohibited
by the terms of The charter or by law
Each raises the question whether such
activity would be for the well being OF
mankind and the courts would have to
decide. The right to do some of these
things would. in my opinion, be upheld
The power to do certain things carries
with It the power TO misuse or instead
as well as the power to benefit. No
doubt the foundation could establish n
pernicious system of education, for eN-
ample. unless the matter circulated in
favor of II were so repellent to public
opinion and the courts that they would
stop it as contrary to the public well
fare"
Prof. Klrchwey pointed out that the
foundation would be nearing the danger
line II II attempted to establish any
institution for profit, because that would
not be an exercise of its proper rights.
As for fighting labor unions, he said
III the directors of the foundation
honestly believed that il was for the in
terest OF humanity for labor unions m
be put down | believe they could In
stitute a campaign against the unions
OF course in this case, as always. the
directors must reckon with the power
of public opinion as it is reflected IN
the courts"

nnt, of Attorney-GeneraI.

In his opinion, the determining factor
In that decision would be whether the
particular activity would he for the well
being OF mankind. II 1t were the gen
orally held opinion that anything under
taken by the foundation was not for the
well being OF mankind II would be the
duty OF the Attorney General to bring
suit for the dissolution OF the founda-
ton. Another proceeding would be an
inquiry started by Justice Of the SUI
preme Court by the exercise OF his vtsi-
torial power, although such proceeding
could be undertaken only on the request
of creditor OF the foundation or of
one of its trustees.
In either case an injunction could
Issue restraining the foundation from
exercising any of its powers pending
the determination of the suit.
Chairman Walsh put to the witness
nine questions dealing with the powers
OF the foundation. These included Its
power to circulate a Presidential mes
sage a party platform, criticism OF a
church or religious body, editorials IA
voring a certain policy, arguments
against labor unions and arguments In
favor OF strike breakers.
